Bulgarian Garden

BulgarianBq-F - Original Print         These are the herbs the Bulgarians use most frequently in their cooking -- Bay, Cinnamon, Garlic, Onion, Paprika, Parsley, Savory and Sweet Pepper are essential in defining their cuisine. Yogurt Kiselo Mlyako, Sirene and Kashkaval Cheeses, Spiced Meat Balls Kepapcheta, Shopska Salad, Flat Sausages Strandzhansko Kjado, Spinach or Cheese Strudel Banitza, Fried Bread Mekitsi, Cold Yogurt Drink Airan/Ayran/Arjan/Ayrian, Grape Brandy Rakia and Millet Ale Bozo can be found on most tables, from the folk taverns mehana to the Palace in Sofia. Celery, Chili Pepper, Cumin, Nettles, Dill, Leeks, Oregano, Pepper, Rose Water, Scallions, Smardala, Spearmint and Vanilla would complete their herb garden.

      Situated in the southeastern corner of the Balkan Peninsula, Bulgaria is one of the oldest countries in Europe, its history stretching back through many great civilizations. The seeds of its cuisine were planted by the Thracians, who, together with the proto-Bulgarians and Slavs, formed the Bulgarian nation.   The Thracians introduced agriculture on a large scale, including the development of vineyards and wineries -- grapes could have been grown in Bulgaria as long ago as 6,000 BC.

      Other early influences include the Romans, followed by the Byzantian, the Turkish Ottoman Empire, Germany, Russia, and its close neighbors Romania, Croatia and Greece. Said to be the reason for their longevity, their yogurt is famous the world over. Bulgarians build their longevity diet from available basics -- whole milk yogurt to cleanse the digestive tract; arsenic-rich garlic to break down the cholesterol; high protein sheep meat to build the body; and high natural-alcohol, tannin-rich red wine to decompose the fat, as well as mountains of fruits and vegetables. Bulgarian cuisine is built around healthy foods but, like the people, can be hot and spicy.
