Dalmatian state of mind
Dalmatia has a special energy, relaxed tempo and a unique temperament which every local is born with. This temperament is in the blood of every Dalmatian and expresses their love for the rocky landscape that adorns Dalmatia. Figs, olive oil, wine and the famous Adriatic Sea painted in various shades of blue. Dalmatians, without making any effort at all, live a quality life, a way of life that Westerners dream of, so here are some of the secret - weird rules no one should question.. ever!
1. Sunglasses aka “cvike” - Rain, hail or sun, sunglasses are a must-have fashion accessory for Dalmatians. Never leave your house without sunglasses.
2. There is something called "Propuh (Blowout)" - This is the greater amount of wind generated when there are too many windows or doors open. This is worse than Coronavirus, just like a vet hair, “propuh” can cause all kinds of illnesses and is almost illegal in Dalmatia.
3. “Kanotjera” (Camisole) - shirt with thin straps,there is no person (older, younger, female, male, sick, healthy), no toy, no doll, not nearly even a dog that does not wear this garment. Only in the high summer months we do not wear this one.
4. The best homemade (olive) oil ... comes in a Coca-Cola bottle, just like alcohol.
5. Pigs and lambs… ... according to Dalmatian people there should be no parties, festivities, birthdays, celebrations, or whatever - without these two foods. It is perfectly fine to tramp this goods with your relatives so occasionally we send them to each other, by bus without any problem.
6. Soup is the start of every lunchVery short, clear and simple, at least once a week we have to eat something on a spoon.
7. Everyone hates the wind from the south - we call it “Južina” it gives half of the Dalmatian population headaches, joint pain and we are all nervous.
8. You should never put your bag on the floor - If you constantly place your bag on the floor, it is bad luck and you can run out of money so quickly. Always make sure you hang it somewhere.
9. Never sit on a corner of the table - you won't get married. Simple as that.
10. 'Waistpack' - in Italy they wear mens purses, but in Dalmatian men are too “macho” for something called a purse, so they wear a waistpack :)
11. Pork fat and brandy - Heals everything. End.
12. There is no vegetarianism in Dalmatia Even if we cook vegetables only, it has to be baked with at least a piece of bacon to 'give' flavor and aroma.
13. THE HAIR MUST BE DRY BEFORE YOU GET OUT OF THE HOUSE - there is no natural hair drying even when the heat is high outside. Even when you dry it, you have to stand for a while before leaving the house. This is dangerous, you can die from a vet hair.
