FIRST TIME TRYING BULGARIAN FOOD (Sofia Food Tour)

🇧🇬 HOW IS IT ALL SO GOOD!?

We are so excited to try a bunch of different Bulgarian food (and Bulgarian street foods) especially the raved about Shopska salad.
We started our DIY Sofia food tour with a BANG, trying Banitsa at one of the most recommended bakeries in Sofia. It wasn't a surprise they were amazing, what was a surprise is which one we like the best!
We then unfortunately had a not so good time at a local favourite cafe before the day really rallied and we had a few traditional Bulgarian foods at Izbata tavern!

I think we nailed the Bulgarian food tour!

Thanks for watching!

The earthware / clay pots for cooking might be the most useful souvenir - they are super pretty and food tstes amazing in them!

the best mekitsa is the plain one
also burek and banitsa are totally different thing
thank you for visiting!

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.

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.

Welcome to my beautiful country. You need to go to Zeravna/Жеравна which is village with authentic 18 and 19 century houses and is absolutely incredible village.

The Earthware /Clay Pots for cooking might be the most useful souvenir - they are super pretty and food tests amazing in them!!! 😍🌏

The best Mekitsa is the plain one, also Burek and Banitsa are totally different thing. Thank you for visiting!!! 😍🌏

You should also try the natural Bulgarian yogurt, which contains the bacterium lactobacillicus bulgaricus, which cannot live anywhere else in the world, this makes it unique. ❤️

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. Everybody have it in their backyardn at least in the summer

[geoandbert]

Great video guys! You always do such good ones 🙌🏼

[krasimirkirev]

The cheese is different because it is not feta. It is Bulgariab white brined cheese.
