    When I went to Bulgaria on backpacking holiday, we had Shopska Salad almost every day, for 17 days… But I still love it! Brings back really nice memories 🙂

      We are glad that we could remind you of your time in Bulgaria. Which places did you visit there?

        We went to Varna, Golden Sands and a small village near Kotel (called Medven).
        It’s been almost 4 years since I went there, so I can’t remember any other names of dishes, but we especially ate a lot of chicken, which I don’t eat anymore because I became a vegetarian…

    You have visited some of the nicest places, good job! And yes, there are many Bulgarian dishes with chicken such as chicken with potatoes baked in the oven, chicken with rice, etc.What made you choose to be a vegetarian?

      Well, it’s especially because of health reasons 🙂 I’m a dietician, so I know a lot about the effect of food on the body and the health, and because I read so much about cholesterol and saturated fats, and all the stuff you find in meat (especially in processed meats), I decided to not eat meat and fish anymore. And also because of the environment and the animals of course!

      Do you live in Bulgaria?
