What I didn't show, and what we didn't try, was grilled meat. Bulgarians eat a loooooooooot of grilled meat. But there are so many people that just order the Shopska salad when they go out to eat that it wouldn't matter anyway. I think the poached egg dish was my favourite surprise.

I always read up about the local cuisine before visiting and I am capable of spending an hour or more going around and inspecting restaurants before choosing one. I always look at what people are eating. Drives my husband crazy!Den nationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04259526826141331097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877199150999254647.post-42763541609689718842013-09-11T12:14:52.060-07:002013-09-11T12:14:52.060-07:00The food was soooooooooo good.

I thought that there would be more Russian or at least Slavic influence, but Bulgarian cuisine has been more influenced by Greek and Turkish cuisine.Den nationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04259526826141331097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877199150999254647.post-22296038732338221262013-09-11T12:13:08.657-07:002013-09-11T12:13:08.657-07:00Yes, they really struggle with corruption as well....Yes, they really struggle with corruption as well. That just makes me feel even more sorry for the elderly in Bulgaria. And disabled people suffer the same fate - they are so poor in Bulgaria. <br /><br />When I was there sometimes I couldn't really believe I was in the European Union.Den nationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04259526826141331097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877199150999254647.post-4764217628188818012013-09-09T11:48:28.894-07:002013-09-09T11:48:28.894-07:00I just had to look into wikipedia just to check if...I just had to look into wikipedia just to check if Bulgaria was part of the European Union, I know so little about Eastern Europe. They seems to struggle with their economy. It's sad to know that eldely people have pretty much nothing left for their retirement. Nevertheless, I want to visit Bulgaria now.Vadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08017730816577739949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877199150999254647.post-71301757627175180982013-09-08T14:31:18.135-07:002013-09-08T14:31:18.135-07:00That pizza looks delicious and so does the rest of...That pizza looks delicious and so does the rest of the food!

I'll have to add it to my list of places in Europe I'd like to visit at some point!Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136483568967161966noreply@blogger.com
