Anri Sala's video Byrek, 2000--named after a traditional Albanian salted pastry-- shows the hands and forearms of an elderly woman kneading a batch of dough with the precise motions of a much-practiced routine.
Like those works, Byrek is concerned with the question of cultural identity and the relationship between the past and memory.
A text by Sala projected on a facing column explains the role the weekly baking and eating of the pastry played in his family when he was a child, and how the ritual of the common meal gradually dissolved as first his sister and then he went to study abroad.

 <nettime> (No) Paris No Cry: Hans Ulrich Obrist interviewing Anri Sala
So she sent me this recipe for Byrek, but it's incredibly difficult to make this thing, as you see in the video.
Writing the text I realized also how weird this Byrek story was, because normally when you make Byrek you take a bowl of flour and water and it can become very big.
But my family's Byrek developed in the opposite direction over time: in the beginning we were five, so it was big like this, then my sister left and it became smaller, now my grandmother is too old so she can't do it anymore.

 Chowhound's Chicago Area Message Board (4): Stripping the mall: Noli's Pizza, Secret Albanian   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Ordinarily I would assume this was a standard pizza by the slice place, likely resoundingly average, except that the word "Byrek" appears in the window.
But looking around there were other clues-- bread for sale which looked exactly like what you'd get in a Turkish restaurant; strange soft drinks which turned out to be from Slovenia; baklava on the table where the owner and the waitress were sitting.
The byrek was a giant puffy thing, not at all empanada-like as German bierocks or even the Turkish ones can be, texturally halfway between bread and filo, stuffed with spinach and salty feta (they also offer beef and cheese), and quite irresistable while hot though unlikely to keep, I think.

 LTHForum.com :: View topic - Noli's alert
Noli's bread is still good and the byreks haven't changed so it's still a worthwhile place.
You can get a pizza (toppings include Hallal meat), a byrek (meat, cheese, spinach, potato, apple), and baklava for dessert.
The strip mall home of Noli's is equally intriguing, and exemplifies what I love about Albany Park: the diverse mix of cultures and influences.

 :: The Albanian Institute of Islamic Thought & Civilization ::
For a more detailed analysis and evaluation of the corpus or richness of oriental words in this work, taking into account the chronology of their penetration in the Albanian language as well, they can be classified in five groups as follows:
a) Many of these words such as top (ball), xhep (pocket), byrek (pie), bakër (copper), hallvë (sweetmeat), çorbë (porridge), rast (occasion, chance, opportunity), etc, are already rooted in the standard Albanian language by being adapted to its phonetic and grammatical structure.
They constitute 20% of this dictionary and denote objects or notions for which the Albanian language does not have usually any correspondent (equivalent); they have a lasting several centennial chronology of usage in Albanian.
