I love the honesty of the reporter, she makes me feel that I can trust her.

[JacobIL]

Love the energy and polite honesty of the reporter! Really enjoyed watching this. Greetings from Canada

[Serjohn]

i appreciate this, she could have taken her to some tourist attractions, but she dragged her in the deep a little, what a great ambasador for our country

I'm glad that the reporter was honest. Most food reviewers say they love the dish even when their facial expressions betrayed their true feelings; all because they don't want to offend the host.

Great to see chef Bledar Kola who does so much to promote Albania’s fine cuisine! Mullixiu is a must-visit.

As an American who spent a week there last year, i can remember having lamb for the first time in my life and really enjoying it. I even had lamb and yogurt inside of Berat Castle, common based Albania moment X)

I used to eat in Albanian restaurant in Malaysia, excellent food 🙌

[Supernova]

I have a few friends who are from Albania or have family there, so I got more interested in the culture.
It's a really beautiful country!! I'd love to visit someday!!

Boza, it’s very refreshing, healthy probiotic drink. Of course it takes a bit of time to get used to the taste but once you do it becomes an addiction 😁

[katherinehere]

I want to go to Albania now!!! Everything looked so good. Where can I find more information on the food tour?

[PartyLifeme]

Im stuck in North Korea. One day I will escape to see all these wonderful places.😢

[lafit]

Boza is made of corn, me misër o shoqe jo "grains"(drithëra)

[bletrick]

Flia is my favorite food. It's a shame it's not internationally known it's absolutely delicious and worthy of being known by people around the world.

[shimaila]

I'm in Tirana for 1 day this month - can anyone suggest places that would still be open and what foods should I try? Thank you in advance ❤

[MrObeytok]
