What is Bulgarian food like?
Bulgarian food is the best! In the summer there are many fresh fruits and vegetables in the market such as tomatoes, cucumbers, peaches, eggplant, apricots, quinces, apples, onions, potatoes and sweet peppers. Most people sell what they grow in their gardens, so everything is very fresh. In the winter more meat, such as lamb, veal and chicken is eaten, along with potatoes, cabbage and carrots. The most important menu item on any Bulgarian table is bread. Bread is literally life in Bulgaria. It is sold everywhere and is fresh from the oven all day long. There are also two types of cheese that everyone eats: sirine (a white cheese similar to feta) and Kashkaval which is a hard yellow cheese with a mild flavor. Bulgaria’s most famous culinary item is kiselo milako or yogurt. In fact, the bacteria that are found in yogurt originated in Bulgaria. Kiselo milako is sold in every store and in every market. It comes in plain and fruit flavors and is very yummy!
