Pitch kettle

(Place, tavern, firm, Yugoslavia)

A quasi ancient restaurant, in rustic style, just like Banatska or dozen others like that. But at least they got the floors right - it's not old brick or biber tile polished high, it's the plain old hardwood without any veneer, sounds almost like it was regularly soaked with crude oil or kerosene (petrolej) so the dust would stick to it and not fly up. They have a bunch of old age artifacts just like anone else (woven baskets etc) but the tables are obviously new, just well within the style, patios are paved with real 2nd rate brick, the fences are done in štukatur (reed woven with wire, used to hold the plaster to the wall)... doesn't matter, the cook is a pro and they aren't even expensive.

The best part is that they're just a block away from place where Lena and Milan live on Novi Beograd. Sometimes we walk there, now it's easier to just get everyone into the van, park behind and then just drive home when done.
