I get mostly foreign.

Nando's is fine, but Popeye's is important enough that we
nearly abandoned one of our barbecue stops for one.

What will the ratio be between current and former

>      Title: About Zelnik

I knew a guy named Zebnik once.

> Zelnik is a traditional pastry from the Balkans composed of thin
> layers of phyllo pastry filled with combinations of sirene, eggs,
> sorrel, browned meat, leeks and rice; in winter, the filling may
> also include brined cabbage and spinach, from which the dish derives
> its name: zelje (Macedonian) means spinach. Zelnik is served with
> yoghurt and its best eaten warm.

The yogurt garnish seems a bit redundant.

> Zelnik is similar to a dish popular in Turkey and Central Asia,
> called yesil borek (green patty) Borek. Unlike zelnik, cabbage Borek
> is made for holidays and festivals and is served with kefir. The
> crust and the layers of Borek are thicker and other spices are used.
> Mostly Zelnik is made with leek and sirene (white cheese).

How lovely is that, not.
