Slatko

Yesterday I went to visit a friend. We were hanging out for a while playing cards. After a while, his mother offered me “Slatko.” I said yes (in Macdonia it is important to eat or drink the first thing someone offers you). “Slatko” is like a jelly. This one was made of strawberries. She placed it on the table in front of me in a bowel. Then she left the room. I leaned over to my friend and asked “Do I just eat it?” My friend said, “Yes!” He laughed. My roommate told me later that is a way of saying thanks for your visit. She said next time I should bring cookies to her house when I go.
