I can’t get enough Ajvar

@AthrillatheHunt Serbian burgers?

@Jenny1234 yup

@Jenny1234 see my note about spoiled ajvar.

@samueltyler2 where is it?

@Jenny1234 one of your other posts about it. As it spoils it can smell and taste like motor oil.see my comment on besxy's post.

@Jenny1234 did we discuss ajvar? It is so weird. I had a burger at a restaurant with it and it tasted like motor oil. My friend also remarked about his tasting funny. The waitress was shocked and agreed to replace our meals. I then looked it up on Google and that is a common description of it when it spoils.

@AthrillatheHunt here is more from Google; While some sources mention that certain oils (like seed oils) can develop a bitter or burnt taste when overheated or processed improperly, this doesn't directly relate to ajvar spoiling and tasting like motor oil.
In summary, if your ajvar tastes like motor oil, it's highly unlikely that it's simply spoiled. It's more probable that there's an issue with the ingredients or how it was prepared. For example, using the wrong type of oil or improper cooking techniques could potentially lead to off-flavors. If you suspect your ajvar has gone bad, it's best to err on the side of caution and discard it, especially if you notice mold or any other unpleasant changes in appearance, smell, or taste.

@samueltyler2 when I buy it it never lasts long enough to mold .

@AthrillatheHunt funny, the sources as actually suggest home made lasts longer and better. It is just so funny that we were just discussing this on a restaurant and here it pops up on SW.

@samueltyler2 thanks for the heads up. I’ve only been home from Europe for three weeks and I’m already on the second jar they sent home with me. So that one will be gone in the next week.

@Jenny1234 where were you?

@samueltyler2 Macedonia

@Jenny1234 nice, is that where your family is from? We were in the area last summer on a cruise. It was way too hot.

@samueltyler2 no my daughter went there for her last year of university, met a boy, and got married there in may

@Jenny1234 congratulations. I will share photos from our cruise if you are interested. We would often see the temp on local weather stations record over 40C. One of the Greek historical sites near Olympia was closed because it was felt too dangerous from the heat. Will you share wedding photos?

@samueltyler2 we also went glamping in Greece for three days. You can see mount Olympus in the background there from the beach/caravan park

@Jenny1234 what is glamping?

@samueltyler2 it’s glamorous style camping.

@Jenny1234 oh, so the glam. What made it glamorous?

@samueltyler2 not sleeping in a tent

@Jenny1234 we slept in tents in Africa, but they were 5 Star ones. I can send photos later.
