In Asenovgrad, Bulgaria it was the First Time I Tried Bulgarian Skembe Chorba

[@da1nonlydoron779]

My grandparents had a Bulgarian restaurant in Israel back in the 60’s. I grew up loving this soup and I’m here now watching this clip because I was looking for instructions on how to make this soup. Thank you for sharing!

[@ATasteofBulgaria]

Sorry that you didn’t find a recipe from the video, but glad you enjoyed it anyway. Maybe be a chance for a recipe in the future

Bulgaria for such a little country , really has a massive amount going for it, I’m excited to discover it all 😉🤩😍

[@pabbsways]

Long time I havent visit Bulgaria. I loved the food though and the beer too. lol

These are the best things to enjoy in Bulgaria as they are both super cheap here....maybe worth another visit someday...?🤔

Hi Gareth ,I am here just to drop a quick greeting from London . Wish borders will ease up more in upcoming months so i can come to homelands . We may see with you and Norman .

[@ATasteofBulgaria]

🤞Fingers crossed for at least the summer, I’m hope we can boost the tourism here for the lost time of the previous year. Your more than welcome to drop a line next time you make it over😉

[@FilipinaYordanova]

Oh that is my favourite soup in Bulgaria as well but i haven't tried to cook it yet. ENJOY!!

[@ATasteofBulgaria]

I also have not try to cook it ever yet, though I may try to one day.

[@nickhristov]

@@ATasteofBulgaria A small tip. Do NOT cook tripe in the kitchen, or your house will smell for a while. Cook it outside on a burner.

[@ATasteofBulgaria]

@@nickhristov thanks for the tip....I’ll have to wait until we decide to move to the village and we have an outside kitchen 😉

Very nice video I really enjoy it and it was pleasure for me to see how heatedly you both observe the beans, the honey and the power of nature at all.

Normen is a very passionate chef, and we both love food and also love the fact that a lot of food here in Bulgaria is grow naturally and sold by local producers

Glad i found this channel as im thinking of moving there soon.

I'm very happy that you are enjoying the content and that you found the channel.....the reason for starting the channel was exactly reach people like yourself and the ones who don't know what Bulgaria is really like in terms of its Beauty, History and culture

[@theswede5402]

@@ATasteofBulgaria A question also, the corona restrictions in Bulgaria require a green pass or negative test for most public places right? I have chosen not to take the vaccine so will this make daily life very difficult down there?

[@ATasteofBulgaria]

At the moment it’s only required to have a Green Certificate in malls, very large shops (but not supermarkets) bars and restaurants. If you have recovered from COVID you are able to obtain a green certificate also

[@Alpha-Visuals]

Very cool video! Keep up your great work :)

Thanks, I appreciate the support👍

Only have been to Sofia so far but there's a lot to be discovered there 😉🥰👍

There is a massive amount of things, soooo much I’ve still not seen. I really looking forward to going to discover these things

[@ginadegorna]

Although I hate that soup I love the video. So authentic! Yes, they really do it. Beer and that nasty soup for a hangover! 🤪

[@ATasteofBulgaria]

Yes and I does work surprisingly, I guess it’s a male thing 😉

[@czasnaodlot7455]

I have never tried it. When traveling, I like to taste local flavors. Certainly, if I have the opportunity, I will use it.

[@ATasteofBulgaria]

It was surprisingly good, and with a beer even better after a heavy night

[@stevechan1169]

Thanks for a great video!

You are very welcome, I’m happy that you enjoyed it. Hope you will enjoy future videos 😉

[@plamitodorova5952]

It's very common women here don't like Shkembe chorba and most of the men do like it lol I would say shkembe chorba is very, very tasty, but I also don't eat it that often. But it is really good meal for a hangover!

[@ATasteofBulgaria]

I never thought of that but yes it does seem to be defined as a Male Soup, liked a lot more by the men. Yes after that night I really needed it

[@nikistoykov8468]

Nice video and nice place Gareth 👍 You should also try traditional fish soup in Tutrakan, a city near Silistra. You gonna love it 😎🇧🇬⚓

[@ATasteofBulgaria]

This might be a good idea, I maybe will be going that direction soon so I might give it a look into... do you have the name of a good restaurant there that is serving the best fish soup? 🤩😉🧐

[@PioturNo]

Very nice intro 👌 what program did you used ? Interesting video

[@yovkoyovkov9005]

The type of beans which Norman showed look like pebbles . They are not buttery in flavor like white bean is but earthy and more potent because of the soil elements and climate .

[@ATasteofBulgaria]

Yes and higher in nutrition also, we both live all the produce here in Bulgaria, and love the fact that people are still growing and making their own...you are welcome to come check out group out on Facebook (with the same name) A Taste of Bulgaria

Guess it is. I’ll tell Norman about that, he’ll be proud

[@darrenledger5438]

Skembe Chorba is okay, but it's like most local cuisine, why eat if you can eat something much better? As a Yorkshireman from Barnsley who grew up eating tripe with salt, pepper and vinegar, pigs trotters and beef hearts because that was all we could afford, I'd always much rather have a good steak given the option. Another great video insight.

[@ATasteofBulgaria]

Don’t get me wrong I also love Steak 🥩 it is my absolute favourite. Though the soup is really good after a heavy night 🤪

I'll tell you a secret, mostly the men like shkembe chorba (also garlic make most of the taste), my mom is a master chief and she make perfect shkembe but does not like it but i adore it, it is indeed a soup for men.

[@ATasteofBulgaria]

Men do most of the drinking in the house, and for sure this is why men probably do like it. If done correct it’s good, plus anything with a lot of garlic is good
