BBC Travel Show - Bulgaria Special (Week 27)

[@sethj.7235]

As a Bulgarian, I feel embarrassed of the food they served him. Pacha is a soup and it shouldn't look like that at all. And this is not a very common traditional dish, it's more like food for poor rural people.

@@javorekbg6081 Някакви аргументи?!? Или просто искаш да покажеш, че си тъп селяк.

[@534terrorist]

На това мисля, че му казват студена пача, представлява желе - замръзнала маз и месо.

[@javorekbg6081]

Пачата си е абсолютно българско, славянско и европейско традишънъл ядене и изглежда точно така - желирани свински крачета и/или ушета. Няма нищо срамно в нея - почти всички национални ястия са традиционната храна на широките народни маси, а не специалитети от трапезата на аристократите. Ценното на пачата е желатина, който се извлича при варенето на кожа, сухожилия и хрущяли, въобще на всякакви жилави тъкани, който е основа за производството на колаген. Прочее, ако искаш да имаш гъвкави стави и да не късаш сухожилия и ставни връзки, яж пача.

It is 100 % traditional. Its not commonly eaten by everyone but it's still traditional. Same goes for lamb heads and tripe. Don't be apologetic if you don't like it. They also eat tripe in some parts of the UK . It doesn't mean its poor people food. It drives me insane that some restaurants remove fried sprat from the menus. Like somehow foreigners will think its poor or weird... It's really not.

[@technixbul]

пфххх как можахте да му дадете пача на човечеца ... толкова вкусни и приветливи ястия имаме, направо го съжалих като му се сбръчка физиономията :D

Thanks for this video man! Greetings from Bulgaria 🇧🇬❤

[@paulwesley27]

I’ve honestly never in my life tried pacha and just seeing him eat it so fearlessly gave me the shivers. Poor guy, they probably didn’t explain what he was in for 😂.

[@alekskuramshin1307]

это называется холодец, очень полезно для суставов, в России готовят на Новый Год.

[@1h8u2be4real]

Wow they served him the literal worst of bullgarian food in it's worst possible form... IMO anyway, and I eat almost anything

[@RositsaPetrovarjp7]

yes. pacha is not traditionally bulgarian. many bulgarians do not like it

[@adasha1417]

The soup of pacha is delicious but this kind of pacha is not so tasty to me.

[@gergister]

I was in that UFO building when I was 4 or 5. It was a few years fresh out of construction I guess.. I remember the shiny colored glass windows .. but that was it.

[@danielsimeonov1963]

Sorry But pacha is not typical bulgarian food you can have it in a lot of countries all over Europe

[@r.a.3984]

Amazing country ! Amazing nature ! Should visit ! If did so, definitely will go back again 🖤

[@nora4981]

I can’t wait to visit this city! My love lives there ❤️

[@alexandreamss]

Nice!! Love this country. Very good video 👍👍👍Btw, when you go to Bulgarian and take a taxi, you should sit next to driver, just to say !

[@cvetankajohansen4766]

restore it ... it's an amazing venue

[@rochaps]

What is it with Mike Corey? He makes everything sounds better and more interesting!

[@stars5206]

Bulgaria is oldest country in Europe. Bulgaria is first national state in Europe which adopt Christianity and Bulgarian church became first national independent church in Europe in year 927. Bulgarians created Bulgarian Civilization with Bulgarian language, Bulgarian alphabet Cyrillic and Orthodox Christianity. Bulgarians spread Christianity and the Bible, translated into Bulgarian language and written in Cyrillic, among the so-called "Slavs" and incorporated most of the "Slavs" into Bulgarian civilization, including the Russians. All so-called "Slavic" languages are created on the basis of Bulgarian language. Russian language and so-called "Slavic" languages on the Balkans are dialects of Bulgarian language. Today about 300 million people in Eurasia including Russia use Bulgarian writing system Cyrillic as the official alphabet. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Bulgarian_Empire en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simeon_I_of_Bulgaria en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrillic_script en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Bulgarian_Empire

Wow Mike finally a normal blog haha

[@pavelkamburov3440]

Dude, Pacha is probably the worst thing you could possibly eat here in Bulgaria. I don't know anybody who likes eating it.

[@_barm]

they're called squats in Burgas

[@samykv]

Many better dishes than pacha, OUR BARBEQUE!

[@goransukovic8703]

This UFO building is a monument of one era. Bulgarians should refurbish the building . And Sofia is beautiful and meals there are much better than ones served to this guy.

[@ivo2]

I am Bulgarian, comunism here is not something people like. It is something we want to forget, but if the monument is half destroyed that is good enough to show one day our children how ugly and bad comunism was!

[@PifchoBG]

the only thing you show is the state of the current system

[@technixbul]

ти па си намерил та премерил, ся ко хубаво има? Сега и кокалите оглозгат а населението го няма половината. Много знаеш ти комунизъм ... плащай данъци като поп ... че да им стават все по-големи задниците та да думкат все по големи говна

[@alexanderstefanov6474]

@@PifchoBG his comments have nothing to do with the current state of our country. He's right about communism, but it was same in all of the Soviet block, somehow the other countries managed to develop much more and much quicker.

How much does a travel show host get a salary

[@joylewer2038]

Poor bloke...he was given a pacha to eat 🥵, shkembe chorba (belly soup) was a better option.

[@kaloyanpalikov7734]

Ok why everyone who travels to Bulgaria is always talking about the communist statues... You had much better thing to see. Also pacha is the worst traditional dish why did they even served it to him.

[@reveurerrant3323]

You're cute :)

[@illeto]

The Black Sea did not necessarily get its name because of how dangerous it is. It is not dangerous . One explanation is that If is called the Black Sea because of traditional colors associated with cardinal directions - North is black, South is red, West is white, East is blue. So “Black Sea” just means “North Sea”. Same reason why the Red (ie. South) Sea is called that. Think of a compass from the perspective of the Greeks.

[@civagiarn]

It's called the black sea as it has the lowest sollenity, however the Bulgarian coast gets the end of the current thus it can be very clear and tourquoise or emerald

[@witalian1]

As many others noted pacha is probably the worst bulgarian food. So many people hate it that it is used as a pejorative word for a whore.

[@vstefanov07]

the Buzluga monument aka the Communist UFO, we all hope at some point it will pick up all communists and will fly away, newer to return 😎

[@MrSwatbg]

Great work guys! Buzludzha, at least I think so, is stacked with symbolism. Not only it's interior in aesthetic sense, but it's condition - now and before. A lot of money have been spent on it and quite a bit of workforce invested. Many people have been fooled by this ideology. An ideology which has swallowed resources, time, lives, offering nothing but contr.. um, security and hope in return. Oh, and a bright future. An ideology of delusion. The people will defeat the capitalist dragon they thought.. And nowadays, the people are..capitalist. They do business, they trade, invent, people come up with things and get credit for it, they interract with the world and they don't believe red fairytales anymore, they don't get shot when they try to cross the border on their own, neither they have to spy on their friends. I've heard opinions that the monument shouldn't be restored because being ruined symbolizes the triumph of freedom over authoritarism and that resources and money better be invested elsewhere. Others think that it is perhaps a good idea to fully restore it to it's original design and turn it into a museum where people can get in touch with the past, as well as for the sake of the ordinary people who have put this thing together initially, so their time and effort to not be in vain.

[@Yeroen]

Teres Sibrov yea capitalism has been very good for Bulgaria and Bulgarians. Look at all the great industries the country has now. It’s really doing well. Actually, try to find someone that it 50+ that chooses Bulgaria now over Bulgaria under communism.

[@varsam]

@@Yeroen Srsly? Farmer industry is dead, importing meat, dry milk and vegetables, cant keep the 20k army modern or keep the roads, lakes, sewerage, electrical network in good conditions, things builded 50-60 years ago, today we have hardship just to maintenance them. Even the GDP reached the levels from 1988 just in 2019. Noting more than a export market for 5 EU countries and cheap labbor.

He wanted to throw up after eating that pacha and I can't blame him. Bah, so many good national dishes to choose from and they pick one of the worst and most disgusting (sorry pacha lovers).
