Ep 5 Osijek/Clondalkin

This week Catherine gets a guided tour of Old Town of Tvrđa and the Old City Walls, she visits a Regional Wine Cellar in the Old Town and tastes wine from the Danube region made by wine producers from Osijek, she will listen to some traditional music on the typical traditional instrument in eastern Croatia (Slavonia), a mandolin like instrument “tamburica”. Slavonia was always known as the golden land thanks to the golden fields of wheat. 

So, it doesn’t surprise that there were many water mills on the Drava river, which reached their peak in the middle of the 19th century, Catherine visits a replica of a water mill, opened in 2015 and will get to see how they used to ground the corn and will be served corn-bread and bread-spread made from “pig-fat”.

 She visits a local green market with the contestant and shops for the ingredients for the dish that will be made, Sarma (Stuffed cabbage), she visits two local restaurants that served her dishes that are local to the Croatian regions of Slavonia and Baranja, Restaurant Galija which is on a boat and Restaurant Gali and restaurant Didin Konak which is located in the Village of Kopačevo and next to the Kopački Rit, one of the largest and best preserved intact wetlands in Europe and she takes the Kompa (Cable Ferry) across the river that flows through the City, the Drava River.
