My trip last year to Bulgaria was peppered with Bulgarians who were shocked to hear that I enjoyed visiting their country. They couldn’t believe it! But I honestly loved it, and I would jump at the chance to go back. There’s so much left to see! The Rila Monastery, Plovdiv, the Rhodopes, the Rose Festival, the Black Sea, etc. In Gabrovo there’s a museum called the House of Humour and Satire and I’d really like to see it. And the music! The food! The wine! I’m not much of a drinker, but even I could tell the wine was superb.
I’ve been following a few blogs by ex-pats living in Bulgaria, and I’ve been looking at a few Bulgarian food blogs today and feeling quite nostalgic. I want to go back! But for now, I can be there in spirit by making a Shopska salad for dinner tomorrow. I wonder if my grocer stocks white cheese?
