    What did we miss?! We LOVED our first taste of Bulgarian food and want to make sure we get the best stuff! 🤤🤤

      Stuffed peppers, sarmi, tripe soup, kapama and apetizers like lyutenica, lukanka, kiopolo, banski starets, file elena :D The problem in Bulgaria is that if you want to taste traditional good bulgarian foods it must be home made, not in restaurants, they prefer the profit above the quality.

      You missed using the Bulgarian alphabet in your description! Here "Tолкова сме развълнувани да опитаме куп различни Български ястия (и Български улични храни), особено възхитителната шопска салата.
      Започнахме нашата гастрономическа обиколка "Направи си сам" в София с TRUTŬK (whatever this is) опитвайки баница в една от най-препоръчваните пекарни в София. Не беше изненада, че бяха невероятни. Изненада ни, кое ни хареса най-много!
      След това за съжаление си прекарахме не толкова добре в любимо местно кафене, преди денят наистина да се оживи и хапнахме няколко Български ястия в механа "Избата"!
      Благодаря за гледането!"

      Hi guys! Mekitsa with that kind of topping is crazy and certainly not in the Bulgarian style. Real good street food mekitsa is served hot from the pan with powdered sugar or natural. Homemade mekitsa is typically served with jam or cheese, or natural, 'çause it's delicious by itself.

    Thank you for the tour guys! Glad you enjoyed your time in Sofia. Just a clarification though, banitsa and burek are quite different. Bulgaria has burek as well, but banitsa is a very specific thing that only exists in Bulgaria and I believe in Southeast Serbia they have something similar.

    Its a bit weird when you say Sirene Cheese as you are basically saying Cheese Cheese. Sirene is one of the two words we use that mean cheese in english, sirene is basically "White cheese". People do indeed want to make foreigners try boza as not many like it. We do drink it but we also grew up getting used to the taste as well, a lot more common is eating banitsa with airyan (its a drink consisting of yogurt a bit of water and salt to taste). Those mekitsi looked strange to me with those toppings as traditionally they are only topped with powdered sugar and nothing else, the dough itself is sweet enough. As for the pottery used for the baked dishes it makes them cook more evenly by trapping the heat inside the pot and the meats/beans taste richer more tender etc.

    • @JordanandEmily

    Most bulgarians have gardens even if they live in the city they have one in the vilage and they grow mostly cucumbers and tomatos onions and garlic and pepers those are the must along with some spices and herbs that's why shopska salad is so popular.
