The Bulgarian cuisine

We're all familiar with Italian and Spanish cuisine. Strangely enough, Bulgarian cuisine is much less known. A shame, because the traditional cuisine is one that a bon vivant should definitely try! Bulgarian cuisine is diverse, flavorful, and very fresh, influenced by neighboring countries such as Greece and Turkey. Bulgaria is mainly known for its excellent soups, salads, stews, and grilled meats. A typical Bulgarian dish is tarator, a cold cucumber soup with yogurt, dill, garlic, and walnuts. Deliciously refreshing during the warm summer! Other well-known dishes include shopska, a kind of Greek salad with a Bulgarian twist, and sirene po shopski, a vegetarian stew. The latter is prepared in a traditional clay pot. Hint: also a nice souvenir! People with a sweet tooth can indulge in Bulgaria as well. Bulgarians love sweets, such as baklava and palachinki, filled pancakes. The great thing about Bulgaria is that you can eat for a bargain. A dinner for two will cost you about €25!
