INTERVTSTA/ Flet Ahmet Dursun, Kryemjeshtri i Kuzhinës në B3F

Mendon se nuk i është dhënë rëndësia e duhur kulinarisë? Aspak! Edhe sot madje vazhdon e njejta gjë. A e di pse? Sepse kulinaria nuk pranon fashizëm, racizëm fetar apo jo fetar. Eshtë e vetmja fushë e veprimtarisë njerëzore së cilës nuk mund t’i vendosësh kufij. A mund ta konsiderojmë kuzhinën si art? Eshtë art, madje mbi të gjitha artet. Mendoj se qëllimi i artit është të heqë kufijtë. Një pjatë e mirë është e mirë për të gjithë pa dallim. Eshte e mirë për syrin, qiellzën, stomakun, frymëzim për të bërë gjëra të bukura. Histo- rianët nuk merren dhe nuk lejojnë të merresh me kulinarinë sepse ngelin Ahmet Dursun pa punë, pa ndikim, pa luftë. Po atëherë? Dy shtete para se të hyjnë në luftë, secili prej krerëve le t’i gatuajë armikut tre nga pjatat e tij më të mira. Jam i bindur se do të heqin dorë nga lufta. Historia në pjatë Pra asnjë art tjetër s’e bën dot këtë gjë e pale pastaj “gatimi” i historianëve.. Si pranove të kontribuosh në B3F në Pogradec? Çdo të thotë të jesh kuzhinier? Do ta bëj me shumë kënaqësi. Unë besoj se artistët e arteve të tjera, Në çastin që e mendojmë kuzhinierin vetëm si një njeri që di të bëjë ndoshta pa e ditur, kanë qenë njerëz që të paktën një herë kanë tentuar disa gjellëra, sallata apo ëmbëlsira bëjmë gabimin më të madh. Ku- të bëhen kuzhinierë, por nuk ia kanë dalë dot. Njësoj si kuzhina artistët zhinier është ai që di të përgatisë disa gjëra duke i përzierë me disa pjesmarrrës në B3F kanë zgjedhur filmin për të treguar se sa ndarje pa gjëra të tjera dhe ti i fut në trup fizikisht ato. Kjo gjë të sjell gjallëri, të kuptim janë kufijtë, sidomos në Ballkan. kuron, të ndihmon të kuptosh vlerën e natyrës. A mund të flasim për një kuzhinë të vërtetë shqiptare? Po kështu i bie që edhe farmacistët të jenë kuzhinierë?! Në Shqipëri ka gatime etnike pa dyshim, dhe ato janë boza, kukureci, tava Sigurisht që po. Jo vetëm një shkencëtar apo një farmacist, por edhe e Elbasanit dhe gatimet me mëlçi. Në Jug, dhe sidomos në bregdet, duket ai apo ajo, që bën limonatë është një kuzhinier gjithashtu, por ka një ndikimi i Mesdheut. Sapo kalon malet e para shfaqet një kuzhinë krejt diferencë. Për shembull çdo kush mund të bëjë kafe turke por pak kontinentale. kush e bën si kafen siç e bënte Maria e Milotit. Si po trajtohet kjo pasuri kombëtare? Ku dallon pra një “përzierës” i mirë nga një i keq? Kjo pasuri nuk po trajtohet fare! Ku ta gjesh të trajtohej, qoftë edhe keq. Te shpirti. Duhet të ketë një shpirt të paqtë. Të krijojë çdo mëngjes Mostrajtimi është më tmerr. Në trevat shqiptare për kulturën kombëtare një botë të bukur. Pastaj i duhet një zemër e guximshme dhe të ketë në tërësi ka një inferiroret idiot. Ndërsa, nga njëra anë, thuhet jemi populli bindur veten se asnjë ligësi nuk e mund dot. Prandaj shumë prej më i vjetër, apo një nga më të vjetrit e Europës, nuk themi se çfarë kanë nesh kemi kujtime të paharrueshme nga gatimet e gjysheve tona. ngrënë shqiptarët ndër shekuj. Apo mos vallë kanë agjëruar?! Por edhe nje njeri, i cili ka shpikur një ilaç, koktejl me pije alkoolike Çfarë do të sillte njohja e kuzhinës shqiptare? apo pije freskuese, pa dyshim ka patur mirësinë e gjysheve tona. Epo luftra nuk do të sillte. Në radhë të parë, patjetër do të na bënte Sa ka ndikuar globalizmi në kulinari? të kuptonim ndikimin e perandorive romake, bizantine apo otomane, Për mendimin tim globalizmi ka filluar me “agjencinë e parë të udhë- sllavëve, ushtrive të tjera që kanë kaluar këndej. Veç kësaj shqiptarët s’e timeve”, që drejtohej nga Aleksandri i Madh. Pikërisht në atë kohë kanë kuptuar ende mirë rëndësinë e rrugës antike Egnatia, e cila mbarte kuzhinierët e tij në kthim e sipër në shkretëtirat e Industanit për të fara të perimeve, frutave, luleve, erëzat nga Lindja në Perëndim dhe patur sa më pak humbje në ushtri, pasi rrugëtimi ishte aq i gjatë dhe anasjelltas. Në çastin që zbërthehet kjo e vërtetë asnjë s’të dërgon dot i mundimshëm. Kështu u shpikën jufkat. Pas kësaj edhe makaro- për luftë, se rituali i ngrënies është 3 herë në dite, më i përsërituri në jetën nat. Kjo mënyrë e thjeshtë ka mbijetuar deri në Italinë e pas Luftës e njeriut pas frymëmarjes e përplasjes së qepallave. Shpresoj se një ditë së Dytë Botërore.
