Nadolny accepted an invitation from Pasha to visit his home in Tirana. They left Durres in the morning, and by lunch they arrived at Esat's residence, which impressed the German delegate on painted walls full of art. Pasha made a great meal, but Nadolny hardly mentioned anything.
We got 15 dishes, he remembers, but they were all with lamb. The climax was when our heads came in. I was sitting next to Esat Pasha, and he served me with his hand a lamb head on the plate. The animal saw me with its turbulent eyes, so sorry.

I told Esat that I couldn't put it in my mouth, that I wasn't used to their habits yet, and that he would do it for me. Pasha expressed regret, but he took his head and began to eat it as he did, first revealing his eyes, which was a macabre sight to me. I only ate bread and vegetables, while Albanians at the table could not stop.

After lunch we took a small walk in the garden, but then dinner came that was similar to lunch. I felt very tired. ”
