| We spent two weeks fermenting different foods at Kalenić Market in Belgrade and at the Green Market in Leskovac, in southern Serbia. In both places, we rented a stall and invited people to join us in preparing recipes that we learned on the spot or had brought with us. We made sour and sweet kimchi, sauerkraut, different kinds of turshi, idlis and dosas, stuffed peppers, labneh, and other fermented foods. People were invited to exchange the jars we made for a recipe, some ingredients, a song, or anything else they could think of. We also made videos, putting everything we were doing into rhyme and song. At the end, we held a tasting and screened our films together with the film Kalenić: The Last Days of a City Market, by Ivan Vuković, Milan Miletić and Nikola Majdak, at Kalenić Market. |
