Albanian Eagle


The Albanian Eagle is a two headed eagle which is found on the Albanian flag. It is a popular symbol of Albania so I have included it on a number of t-shirts at my CafePress store. Most CafePress t-shirts are white but they recently introduced a black t-shirt. This is proving to be very popular, especially with the 'Albanian Eagle' design.

On that page I talk about the many foreign occupiers of Albania and how this hasn't changed their way of life, culture, or food. I mention the different dishes which are quite similar to Greek or Turkish but with an Albanian take on it.

If you ever find yourself in the home of an Albanian you can expect them to offer you everything they have. They will immediately offer you a drink, which you must accept, and if you stay for dinner then be sure to eat everything you are given. They seem to be easily offended if you say no, even if you really aren't hungry. I wouldn't worry too much though as most of the food is delicious.
