We had a meze party at OUR house and added a poutine.

*The Balkan region is mostly inhabited by Slavic ethnic Groups (Bulgarians, Macedonians, Serbs, Croats, Gorani, Montenegrins, Bosniaks, Bunjevci),
also by Romanians, Greeks, Turks, Albanians, and other ethnic groups which present minorities in
certain countries like Romani people (Gypsies), Aromanians, Ashkali,
etc.
THEN WE HAD (homemade prepared by my nephew Mark)
Poutine from Quebec, Canada (recipe founded
there in the 1950’s). It is popular all over Canada and parts of Northern US
now French Fries with gravy and cheese curds (We
used Colby jack in place of cheese curds and beef gravy instead of the
traditional chicken gravy.)
We served Ouzo, Wines and Beers, also.
