Delicious
is
the
least
one
can
say
about
Bulgarian
food.
Because
of
its
geographical
position
and
long
history
Bulgarian
cuisine
is a
mixture
between
the
Slavonic,
Greek
and
Turkish
cuisines.
The
basic
food
products
used
in
the
Bulgarian
cuisine
are
beans,
milk,
yogurt,
cheese,
tomatoes,
potatoes,
apples,
water-melons,
grapes,
etc.
Bulgarians
eat
also
pork,
beef,
lamb,
chicken
and
fish.
National
specialties
include:
Shopska
salad
(sliced
tomatoes,
cucumbers,
peppers
and
parsley
topped
with
grated
sheep's
cheese);
and
tarator
(a
cold
soup
of
chopped
cucumber,
walnuts
and
yogurt).
White
sheep's
cheese
baked
with
eggs
is
another
favorite.
Other
typical
items
on
the
menu
include
kavarma
(individual
casseroles
of
pork
or
veal,
onions
and
mushrooms),
shishkebab,
stuffed
vine
or
cabbage
leaves
and
moussaka.
Yogurt
too,
tastes
better
in
Bulgaria,
its
country
of
origin.
Other
Bulgarian
specialty
is
banitza
(pasty).
BULGARIAN
WINES
are
the
perfect
companion
for
Bulgarian
food.
The
choice
is
wide.
However,
you
can
tell
the
best
wine
by
their
controlled
Label
of
origin
guaranteeing
that
they
have
been
made
from
special
varieties
of
grapes
grown
in
specific
localities.
The
modern
history
of
the
Bulgarian
wines
begins
in
the
early
1900s
when
a
generation
of
young
wine-growers
graduated
in
France
and
started
the
modern
growing
of
grapes.
In
1970s
Bulgarian
wines
like
Chardonnay,
Cabernet
and
Merlot
appeared
in
the
European
markets
and
are
still
very
popular
in
Great
Britain,
Belgium,
the
Netherlands,
Luxembourg,
Germany,
Scandinavian
countries.
Original
local
red
grapes Mavrud
and
Melnik
are
grown
in
Bulgaria
and
are
very
interesting
to
the
wine
connoisseurs.
Beer
is
also
very
popular
in
Bulgaria. |

Did
you
know
that
the OLDEST
GOLDEN
TREASURE
IN
THE
WORLD
was
actually
found
in
Bulgaria. |
|
 |
The

of
grapes
and
wine-producing
throughout
the
Bulgarian
lands
find
their
origin
in
the

industry. |
