PELIVAN: OSVEŽENJE SA ŠMEKOM TRADICIJE REFRESHMENTS WITH THE HINT OF TRADITION
Kad kročite u Pelivan , najstariju po- slastičarnicu u Srbiji, čini vam se da mo- žete da dotaknete prošlost. Mirisi, uspo- mene i sve što tamo ugledate vratiće vas u 1851, kad je to mesto otvoreno. – Najdraže mi je kada neko dođe, pa kaže: „Deda je mene dovodio ovamo na sladoled, sad ja vodim svog unuka“, ili kada se ljudi koji dugo nisu bili u Beogra- du oduševe kad vide da Pelivan i dalje po- stoji – priča Musab, koji sa braćom Suha- ibom i Barom nastavlja tradiciju svojih predaka. Mustafa Pelivanović, čuveni Pelivan (tako su se tada zvali rvači, prim. aut.), na- gradu od jedne pobede u rvanju pretočio je u poslastičarnicu. Od tada se Pelivan prenosio s kolena na koleno. Stare slike na zidovima prikazuju ne- kadašnji život srpske prestonice, a u au- tentičnom prostoru služi se sladoled po recepturi Azera Pelivanovića.
When you step into “Pelivan”, the oldest cake shop in Serbia, it seems to you that you can touch the past. Scents, memories and everything you see there will take you back to 1851, the year this place opened. - The dearest thing for me is when someone comes and says: “My grandfather brought me here for ice cream, now I’m bringing my grandson”, or when people who ha- ven’t been to Belgrade for a long time are delighted when they see that “Pelivan” still exists – says Musab, who con- tinues the tradition of his ancestors, along with his brot- hers Suhaib and Bara. Mustafa Pelivanović, the famous Pelivan [as wrestlers were once called] converted the prize money from his vi- ctories into a cake shop. Since then “Pelivan” has passed from generation to generation. - The cake shop has survived a lot. At the beginning of World War II the old “Pelivan” on Republic Square was destroyed, but my grandfather Azer built a new one, this one on the Boulevard – says Musab. Old pictures on the walls show the former life of the Serbian capital, and in authentic surroundings they serve ice cream made using the recipes of Azer Pelivanović.
