The very best of Shopska salad is to be found in Skopje - or at least that's what the waiter tries to convince me in Macedonia Square on one of the city-centre terraces. At first glance it looks like a Greek salad topped with cheese, but it includes Serbian style slices of grilled paprika with extra-hot red peppers and two half-eggs. This version of the Bulgarian salad is a real Skopje invention: a little bit Greek, a little bit Turkish, a little bit south Slav, but still with something individual and unique.
