Among a multitude of opinions upon this delicate point- some acute, some learned, some sufficiently the reverse -- I am able to select nothing which ought to be considered satisfactory. oh well.. i wouldn't be surprised if macedonian wouldn't know it themselves..

Seems that the chopped up nature of it has to do with Macedonia. Just like a salade russe consists of chopped vegetables. Go figure.
