Had a nice dinner under the Roystonea regia: grilled up some cevapcici, which are caseless Serbo-Croatian lamb and beef sausages with some mushrooms in wine and garlic sauce. And a politically incorrect beverage.

We have a Euromarket in town. They sell two types of the sausages; one with casing and one without. One is spicier than the other. For awhile they sold a rack of smoked veal ribs for $4.50 a pound but I haven't seen those in 6 months.

Attached to the store is a small restaurant that makes the best espresso for miles around.

@DoomsDave great choice 😊🥂

To be clear ćevapčići are Bosnian dish in origin but they are prime dish in any grill party in this part of Europe. Honestly my favourite combo is with some cooked leafy greens with cooked potatoes and fried egg aside but most people just stuff them in pita bread add some diced red onions and some Ajvar. Balkan fast food style. In Bosnia they serve it with yogurt but here the beer is first option IMG_20250811_2032382.thumb.jpg.9e93814bb240a628ac7ac76e1d4f54ef.jpg

At our local restaurant, they're served in a sandwich bun with side of yogurt and coarse-chopped raw onions.

This looks like kebab to me; not sausages. 

By coincidence I had local sausages yesterday; here in the south of Greece people add orange in the sausages! Personally, I prefer those from northern Greece which are packed with garlic and leek.

Unless meal is too spicy, whereby a sangria would match perfectly, Bourgogne is the perfect beverage.

I sometimes have that too; put some dry red wine in the mushrooms above. But I like sangria because I like sangria.

Those meats in the OP are ground meat, for sure. But I've also had Land Animal Kababs as well:

Marinate 1 - 2 pounds of pork, beef, veal, goat, lamb, camel or even chicken, cut into 1 - 2 inch pieces in olive oil, lemon juice garlic, rosemary, chopped onions - leave sit overnight in the fridge if possible, then skewer over a fire, cook till done and eat. Be careful about pork and chicken to make sure they're done all the way through, so you don't catch anything. The rest can be a bit rare and still good. 

Serve with rice pilaf, and a hearty beverage, including, as @Phoenikakias suggests, some burgundy wine, so fine . . .

@DoomsDave missed his calling as a chef. 

That said, there's nothing like a rack of ribs under the coconut canopy.
