Culinary customs of the other Balkan nations partly influenced the traditional Bulgarian cuisine. It shares common features with the Greek, Turkish and the Serbian cuisines. The Bulgarian food is tasty and diverse. The geographical location of the country and its mild climate are perfect conditions for growing different vegetables. Also, fruits, spices and herbs which are basic ingredients in the Bulgarian dishes.
Bulgaria is also famous for the diversity and the quality of its diary products. We widely use them in the preparation of the typical Bulgarian food. The most favorite meat of the Bulgarians is the pork, followed by the chicken and the fish. Beef and lamb meat are less common in the country’s cooking traditions. This is because most cattle here are actually bred for their milk and not for their meat. Beef and lamb are popular in Turkey. You can choose our city tour Istanbul and try Turkish cuisine. We already mentioned how common the two cuisines are. Another interesting feature in the Bulgarian cuisine is the fresh bread. The standard wheat bread (made mainly from white or wholegrain flour) is present on the Bulgarian table every day and is a constant companion to any main meal.
Fresh and naturally grown products
We prepare the traditional Bulgarian dishes from fresh, naturally grown products (the deep-frozen ingredients are less favorite) and are mainly pot-cooked, oven-backed or steamed. Frying is not very common. We use frying mostly for the preparation of French fries, French toast and for some other meat and fish recipes.
On the other hand, grilling of different kinds of meats is very popular in Bulgaria. Every big and small restaurant, fast food canteens and street kiosks widely offer specialties on grill. Quite specific for the traditional Bulgarian culinary is the usage of many diverse spices; herbs and aromatic vegetables like garlic and onions during the preparation of the meals which makes the food very tasty and appetizing and adds a slight oriental note to it. Unfortunately, during another tour of ours, sightseeing Ephesus, we cannot get a proof of whether it was like that in ancient times. Still, it’s worth visiting one of the most ancient cities in the world. It served as the capital city of Asia Minor at least twice, was visited by Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Mark Anthony, and Cleopatra, and became home to St. John, St. Paul and Virgin Mary.
