RAKIA

Rakia ( cyr. Ракия ) is considered to be the national drink in Bulgaria and all the other Slavic Balkan nations. It has a very high alcohol content and is made by distillation of fermented fruits like plums, grapes, apples, quinces and other. Most people in rural areas make Rakia at home, therefore it’s alcohol content can reach 60% or more. It’s usually consumed with shopska salad, pickles, turshia. The Rakia is often compared to brandy and vodka.

KITCHEN

Bulgarian kitchen is simple, tasty, healthy, rich in fruits and vegetable. In early summer a lot of water-melons are all around streets, parks. In autumn they are replaced by pumpkins and later by cabbage. Bulgarian are very proud of their crops. It is just enough to try tomatoes to know why.

CUISINE

The variety in Bulgarian cuisine is based on the long history of the country, as well as on the long-lasting migrations of the tribes that founded Bulgaria more than 1300 years ago. The close contact with Turkey and Greece have helped us form very attractive and to some extent exotic national cuisine, including some dishes which cannot be called national but which are typical of Bulgaria only.
Gourmets have long since esteemed the merits of Bulgarian cuisine with the verdict that it is tasty, spicy and varied, appealing to one and all. Indeed, who would not like the abundance of fresh vegetables and fruits, juicy meat, grilled or served with piquant sauces, mouth-watering vegetarian dishes, simmered slowly on low heat, the banitsa ( cheese pie) which simply melts in your mouth, and famous Bulgarian yogurt?

Wine


Wine is one of the most  famous drinks all over the world. Throughout the Bulgarian lands wine has been produced for more than 5 thousand years.
According to some educational guesses the Thracians were  the first who started growing grape and making wine from it. We find information in the  poems of Homer - the "Iliad" and "Odyssey", where the ancient autor talks about the tribes, inhabiting Bulgaria by that time, about their wonderful wine and their worship to the god Dyonissios as he was considered to be the patron of viticulture and wine-producing.
The best kinds of red wine are tasty and strong, a lot of white wine has different pleasant smell. Among native types of grape-vine, both quality and Mount, the first place take Gamsa, Mavrud, Pamid, Dimiat and Misket. As an example of dessert wine can be Mavrud from Asenovgrad.Mavrud is the highest-quality wine produced in Bulgaria, and these small, thick-skinned grapes provide robust flavor and plenty of tannin, which facilitate long-term aging.

Celebrations and Festivals

The Bulgarian system of celebrations and rituals bears the mark of diverse historical strata. It contains elements of totems, animism, pantheism and monism, including dances and rites, which have been gathered over millenia. Many of the traditional celebrations are widely honoured, partially being preserved in different villages and regions, but some are retained only as tourist attractions.
