BULGARIAN STREET FOOD TOUR 🇧🇬 - Mekitza, Kebapche, Boza, Pork Meatloaf in Sofia, Bulgaria!

[@fxpqfxpqfxpq]

I pronounce you oficially Bulgarian after you ate kebabcheta with beans :D

[@svetoslavtodorov2427]

@@fxpqfxpqfxpq I've never had kebabche with beans salad. In fact I strongly dislike the said salad. On the other hand with lutenitsa or lutivka is just yum. I've watched a lot of foreigners trying Bulgarian food but I've never seen one trying princess with mince meat and kashkaval( yellow cheese, to Brits The closest is mild cheddar)with mixed salt. It brings sweet memories ...

[@krasimirkirev7178]

The spinach soup is red, because it has tomatoes in it and it is creamy because a mixture of eggs and yoghurt is added it the end

[@МарияГеоргиева-з7д]

I think the soup is red just because the paprika,i don't think there is tomatoes inside

[@krasimirkirev7178]

What paprika? There is no paprika in spinach soup, it is tomatoes.

[@МарияГеоргиева-з7д]

@@krasimirkirev7178 tomatoes in spinach soup...no way 😃😃😃 . Yogurt,spinach,parsley,onion,some people put cheese inside but tomatoes no way!

[@teosandev6116]

@@МарияГеоргиева-з7д Unfortunately, as I continue to experience it with every tomato-ridden spinach soup mom cooks, it is VERY possible. We, however, should not bow down before tyranny and must fight such war crimes whenever we are forced to taste them. Also red pepper and chilly in moderation does go well with it? :D

[@fff5081]

You might be the only foreigner that didn't immediately hate boza 😂

[@dimitargenchev6932]

They always like boza and hate ayran.

[@trabantdelux]

Boza is ottoman drink. There is also arabic Ice-Cream Booza. But Bulgarian Boza is really delish. Traditionally used Brown Millet flour, sugar and some yeast and sourmilk ferments... You can find Boza in the western balkans too...

[@kagaminelensboyfriend]

as Bulgarian, I've lived here my entire life and I despise boza

[@trabantdelux]

You're the first person in the history of the world whose first reaction to boza was "It's delicious" lol glad you liked your food so much!!

[@j3n0cide]

i saw a woman and her husband go into billa and buy boza thinking its chocolate milk 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@lubenstefano3139]

I mean as a Bulgarian I am not really a fan. When I was child I was just used to drink it even though I didn’t like it as much as the airan

[@Nooneherer77]

Ah guys, the best boza is the one with real sugar after a bit of fermentation when it's bubbly, airy and a bit sour and prickly to the tongue. Delicioussss, and has a great texture in the mouth ❤

[@jeongsungwoo]

Keep creating content. I love to see this channel grow and become prominent.

[@marticon666]

In case anyone is curious, the meatloaf is called a "Stefani roll" or "Rulo Stefani. If you want the recipe, that's the name you'll find it under.

[@Komap619]

I cant recommend enough mekitza with white cheese and honey , and btw boza is drank with banitza

[@kromcom3065]

Soup and sour goes hand in hand here. A LOT of bulgarians put vinegar in almost every soup you can think of xD

[@dgarvanski]

The thing about you grandma making you mekitza is tried and tested. Whenever we go to my hometown with my kid, my grandma would get up at 6 AM to make some. For her, the idea of him waking up and not having some mekitza with cheese to eat for breakfast is unimaginable.

[@nirvana613]

Happy to see a foreigner enjoying my country's traditional foods. Enjoy your time here and be healthy !

[@DaniACE2816]

It's nice to see someone likes our food. Hope you enjoy it, there's so other dishes you have to try, like Musaka, Sarmi, banitsa and more! Hope you have a time to try some of them!

[@shotaaizawaslay]

oh man i love Musaka and Sarmi my baba used to make musaka so rich and flavored. Musaka gotta be one of my favorite dish ever.

[@slendydie1267]

Kebapche and beans is an amazing combination. But sausage and beans is a legendary combination

[@slendydie1267]

The best Mekitza I've ever had is by a grandma that works as a chef in a hotel we stocked. We just finished unloading the truck and she gave me the most holy tasting mekitza ever. I've eaten many, we had a specifically Mekitza only bakery near where I live and my grandma makes amazing ones too but damn that one mekitza was on another level. Also the kebapche are heavily spiced with cumin that's why I LOVE them.

[@brapbrapbrapo]

Good job trying some decent staples of Bulgarian cuisine but you just scratched the surface! Bulgarian cuisine is one of the most underrated and unknown cuisines in my opinion! It definitely has Greek/Turkish influences but you could say Bulgaria has had its influence on those cuisines as well. But there are so many unique Bulgarian dishes that the best way to describe it is they appreciate a flavor explosion. Vegetables and spices are incorporated into everything because everything grows in Bulgaria's climate! But I'm glad your experience was overall positive 😀

[@n1cro_production]

4:05 to 9:25 is not Kebapche. If you're talking about the meat thing well that's called "Руло Стефани" or in English (with literal translation) "Roll Stephanie". Kebapche is similar to the Serbian/Bosnian Cevapi/Cevapcic exactly what you ate later at that Kebap grill house. Also the sourness you tasted in the spinach soup is from the "Кисело мляко" (Bulgarian Yogurt).

[@darinamollova1249]

What a good selection! Keep it up, man

[@va_bg]

I can recommend the kufte in Koprivchica. There is a restaurant by the river near a small bridge. The kufte there is the best kufte I've ever eaten!

[@dinkoivandzhikov9027]

[@roselinamarfinale8417]

8:04 That's also my favorite flavour! I used to drink these a lot,I love them,but they are pretty sugary,

[@faceofdead]

You missed Shkembe Chorba with a lot of peppers and garlic :)))

[@martivankov1275]

And the vinegar 🥺

[@sth.likevolleyball350]

Really would have helped to have a bg person give him some tips what to visit... He ended up eating cool bg breakfast - thats ok, but fkin weird shithole cafeteria lunch (neither stefani roll; spinach soup nor chicken with rice are sth unique bulgarian); and fkin serbian grill for dinner... Beans was ok.... But man no shkembe - big Fs

[@kunevv]

Of course there are many other let's say regional if not strictly Bulgarian (as on balkan peninsula the cuisine has lots of similarities) But I would say this indeed is quite representative. And traditional things bulgarians eat through the day. Usually Boza is consumed with pastries like the mekitza or banitza, compared to cakes. Nice video and good review - quite a nice feedback from your side on what it tasted like and what you like (also what was not really impressive) Keep it up

[@shotaaizawaslay]

Omg i just had the recommendation for this video this is so cool to see foreigner trying foods of my origin country! Hope you liked your time in bulgaria :)

[@Malakhim0]

I recommend the traditional biscuit cake, musaka and mish mash

[@GodLikeScary]

13:48 beans and sausage you had to mix . This is really traditional and tasty . Kebabche and beans are good too . Hope you had a nice time here and you will bring as much as possible more people to taste our delicious food 😊

[@trabantdelux]

The best Langosh is the Hungarian one. They use Potato starch and some salty topics like grated cheese and white garlic sauce. The secret to great bulgarian beans is fresh spearmint, red and green pepper, some carrots and slow cooking.

[@Йероним-л8ю]

The herbs that we usually put on bean stew are spearmint and satureja (savory). 😊 I'm glad you liked it.

[@petyageorgieva]

Поздравe от България🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬😎😎😎😃😃💛💛💛

[@dreamess6266]

Great video! Just adding that the spinach soup is sour because it's traditionally mixed with bulgarian yoghurt. That's why it has that creamy white color.

[@stargirl3455]

o wow, that's my country!! glad you enjoyed it❤

I think I've never seen kebapche with beans in my life in Bulgaria and that's 20+ years. I know of a sausage with beans with kebapche is a little different. I gotta try it now damn

[@maglara5007]

The second place is called "Homemade food/Domashna Hrana", the third one is "Bee Bakery/ Sladkarnitsa Pchela"

[@DamyanTenev]

I think the cake you eat is called revane.I recomend to go in tge province and try something fryed in mas.

[@ixoraroxi]

Great presentation of Bulgarian food! ❤

[@AndreiHristow]

Yes bro, mikitsa is something we know from our grandmothers in the village, you wake up early in the morning and it smells so good The mekitsa is with cheese, later it started with powdered sugar, or natural without anything, just salt, water, flour I have to admit that this mekitsa is a bit different, Some put the cheese inside, like a kind of calzone We call this meat and egg roll Stefani Thank you for presenting Bulgaria.

[@nightmarejungle5871]

honestly boza is very unique and thares a lot of people that hate on the boza me personally i think its great its really tasty especially when u get used to it but yeah im glad u liked it

[@gufretnik]

hope you enjoyed Bulgaria :)

[@IvoIYI]

Welcome back. You must eat home made bulgarian food

[@va_bg]

When it comes to beans you have to eat kurban. Those beans are the best!

The soup you ate might have been with nettles and not spinach. And the herbs you liked in the beans, it's most likely spearmint.

Yea,a i think its not with spanich too.Isn't nettles whan we call lapat?

The place where you got the boza literally translates to something like "Sweeterie Bee". The venue type that sells sweets and the name of that one is Bee.

[@teotheterrible]

4:48 - Руло Стфани (Stephanie Roll) which is a Meatloaf.

[@nicepeeva1048]

Nice. I'm from Bulgaria.

[@z.ashikov1790]

Bulgarian here. I conform the mikiza hypothesis

[@DamyanTenev]

Mekitza is a delicious hypnosys

[@vasilena85]

The meatloaf with the egg inside is called "Rulo (roll) Stefani" ;)

[@coladict]

When made at home, mekitzas would usually be eaten with jam, jelly or honey. However that's not viable on-the-go, so these places that sell them use powdered sugar.

[@robopower5445]

Welcome and enjoy buddy ! :)

[@DMG380]

Langos is just the Hungarian version of the mekitsa. However they usually put more stuff on it.

[@va_bg]

Nice, you are almost saying Sofia correctly

[@volf3r505]

@195Under30 - there is boza with REAL sugar - usually YELLOW cap , but this shop u visited (Sladkarnitza Pchela - cakery BEE) should have the good stuff. If u been to Romania a lot, zahar is захар in cyrilic (we have a lot of common words that sounds if not 100% same, 99% same, Romanians used to write and speak in cyrilic once upon a time)

[@pinratsiripanpong5138]

[@ForckySpoon]

Sadly Boza is full of every sweetener you can think of so it's not authentic. Before fridges existed, Boza was sold even when it went off a little bit and people loved it. The only statue of a Bozadzhiya (a person selling Boza) is in Bulgaria which is a silly but true fact.

[@dmo8343]

Where is that statue? 😊

[@DamyanTenev]

The best boza is homemade

[@EttaDee]

[@va_bg]

It's SofiA, not SOfia, and bozA, not bOza. My man in the past the boza used to be soooooo gooood, sadly it's a dying thing now, it's too watery and the original taste has gone mild ;( I'm glad that you liked our food. Kinda sad that most places can't cook rice like Asian people but there are some okay places

You didn`t try the real traditional Bulgarian food, the one you`ve try are close to Asian one, not saying Turkish, because there is no such think like Turkish food, there is a mix from Asia, Afrika and etc. Everyone who made street food tours making same mistake. Unfortunately, because the traditional Bulgarians meals are incredible, we have meals older 5 centuries for example, but you didn`t try it.
