It's getting almost as bad as religion ... which is another verboten 
topic for for the cooking echo. I'm going to leave off lest I get a
"rocket" from the moderator.  Bv)-

I tried the poly-tics echoes some years ago and they were filled with
extremists and schoolyard bullies. I've had to deal with enough of those
in real life - so I shined them on.

      Title: Politically Correct Balkan Pljeskavica
 Categories: Pork, Grains, Cheese, Herbs, Chilies
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      1 lb (440g) ground pork
      1 lg Egg
      1 tb Cracked wheat, bulgur, flour
           - or bread crumbs
    1/2 c  Chopped mushrooms
    1/2 c  Grated "yellow" cheese
    1/2 c  Crumbled feta
           Splash of beer
           Paprika, salt & pepper
      1 ts Chile powder
    1/4 ts Dried oregano or chubritsa
      2 tb Chopped fresh dill; (the key
           - ingredient)
           Onions & garlic are optional
 
  * kashkaval cheese if can get it
  
  A kind reader passed along ths, which, he says is a
  hybrid of the pljeskavica he found in Serbia (where it
  is best), in Macedonia (where they claim to have invented
  it), and in Bulgaria (where he lives). In Serbia and
  Macedonia they like to serve it as a giant flat communal
  burger, he says, so it can be spread on a baking pan,
  baked until it turns slightly pink, and then put on the
  grill.
  
  Pljeskavica is traditionally served with a salad of
  chopped tomatoes and cucumbers with feta, salt and oil,
  fresh bread, and "of course," Balkan (or even Czech)
  plum brandy. It may also be served with djuvec rice.
  
  Mix the ingredients together in a large bowl. Make
  individual patties or one large one.
  
  Cook on a grill, a grill pan, a frying pan, or under the
  broiler.
