We started our Bulgarian food tour in Sofia, Bulgaria with some incredibly unique banitsa. Banitsa is a very popular breakfast in Bulgaria, in fact you could eat banitsa any time of the day, but the banitsa we have is very unique and different, and of course, tasty and delicious!
We continued our Bulgarian food tour tasting some popular Bulgarian food that is very traditional. The traditional Bulgarian food you find in the Balkans is full of flavour and very hearty. Our last stop was to try traditional monastery recipes that have been handed down over many years. These dishes are so tasty and rich, this is why Bulgarian food is some of the best food in the Balkans.
We hope you enjoy our Bulgarian food tour in Sofia, Bulgaria, tasting some very unique banitsa and delicious traditional Bulgarian food here in the Balkans. Stay tuned next week for more food adventures!

Hey everyone! Which country should we visit next on our Balkan food tour? Thanks for watching! 🧡😊

[@babiyarnazarismaily6207]

Moma means maden,or unmarried girl,also first Bulgarian monasteries in date from the 800s when we addopted christianity in 863 a.d.,what is interesting we destroyed the so called three language dogma wich dictates you can preach the gospel in Hebrew,Latin and Greek, the Bulgarian was the fourth legal language blessed by the western and eastern churches that gave us the privilege to listen to the gospel in our own language while in the west this happened 600 years later during the reformation,before that in all European countries the services were in Latin only

I prefer the traditional banitsa but I’m glad you liked the modern one too. It’s great to see such positive reviews of our traditional food since it’s recipes that have been passed from generation to generation. Great video!

[@HungryTwoTravel]

Yeah we enjoyed getting to try both kinds, it's nice to have the traditional and modern versions :) We're loving the food, there's nothing better than food passed down from one generation to the next, that's where all the best recipes come from 😉 Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

[@DedoMaco85]

This is one of the better travel food videos about Bulgaria that I have seen (as a local). You did try some of the best things and the places you chose are good. Especially the breakfast one. Good job. Though, some of the dishes are more like a modernized chef version of the classic dishes. Manastirska Magernitsa is the classic but it's the least favorite of mine, it's too touristy, still good quality though.

[@HungryTwoTravel]

Thanks so much for your comment and for watching 😊 we really enjoyed the modern take on banitsa, definitely a cool bakery 😋

[@martindimitrov187]

Love your videos. You represent my home city in the best way. Just a small remark- "sirene" is the Bulgarian word for cheese, not a type of cheese

[@HungryTwoTravel]

Thank you so much! Sofia is a wonderful city. Also, that's interesting, we know sirene is the word for cheese, but is it also the word for the hard brine cheese? If not, what is it called? Thanks!

[@svetoslavstanchev9977]

@@HungryTwoTravel It's called white brine cheese. You can call it just sirene, and the yellow cheese from the region , kashkaval, but the word sirene means all types of cheese, not only Bulgarian brine. For example, Three Cheese Pizza in Bulgarian is called Pizza s tri vida sirene, so if you only use the word sirene it can be confusing.

[@HungryTwoTravel]

@svetoslavstanchev9977 interesting! That's good to know, thanks for the info

[@martindimitrov187]

@HungryTwoTravel in most cases banitsa is made with cottage cheese when you buy it on the street. But most of the times it's still a good banitsa.

Sofia was chosen for capital of bulgaria ,because it is in the centre of the balkans and in the 19th century our politicians belived that it will be capital of balkan slavic state and also because it is on a field and good for growing,while our old capital tarnovo,wich was the capital of the second bulg,empire (1187-1396) was on a citadels(there were 3 fortresses on three hills)at that time it was important the citys to be on hills and hard to conquer....sofia is part of bulgaria since 809a.d.when was conquered by our khan krum the dreadfull who took the city because is important for conquering of macedonia wich was populated by bulgars and was a strategic goal for our country,krum was famous for killing two byzantene emperors in one battle -nikiforus genikus and his son stavrakius(died after the battle from wounds) and made a drinking cup out of nikiforus scull,also krum made human sacrifice infront of constantinopol gates in order to terrify the citizens inside

I do not want to be bad news bear. What you're eating the comersial food. The cheapest version but still tasty. The real deal is granny cook meal. The best ingredients made for her baby's. Restorants gives you a 10% of 13 centuries culture. The oldest country in Europe. Do I bragging. I bet you your ass. Felo sheets is not they offer you at street bakery. This is foreigners. Bulgarians eat the good staff. The same stuff happens in France,Italy and more. 😅
