Watch this Bulgaria travel vlog to see Wayne the American trying Bulgarian food! (April the American tries the food too, haha.) We are not sure what to think of some of this Bulgarian cuisine, but we are happy to try traditional Bulgarian food and overall we enjoyed our taste of Bulgaria at this Veliko Tarnovo restaurant, MEXAHA. Bulgarian food has some flavors all their own, and we hope to be able to take part in some Bulgaria travel again to try more food of Bulgaria! We hope you get a few chuckles while viewing our Bulgarian taste test...do let us know how you imagine you would like (or not like) one thing we try--food or drink?! 🤔😃

I need to put that on my travel list. Furthermore the Frame of the shot at 0:48 was just amazing! The bacon dice at 4:05 really had me fouled first. I thought it was something else like cheese hahah. Don't know if I would have tried that either although I am always in for trying new and foreign food. I do prefer my bacon crispy like you said too. All with all a great video. Really love the idea of doing food tours or reviews in different countries.

Food is such a pivotal part of experiencing a culture, and we were invited to this restaurant, so we jumped at this opportunity!

Hello April and Wayne, I hope you had a good time I the Tichiat Kat, the Quiet Corner and enjoy some local Rakia and food. The Turschia called vegetables, you tried the most popular cabbage, which was served in the cold winter months in the mountain areas with the lard, gave a lot of energy for the traditional hard work. Did you try the Graina Rakai too, usally the Rakia served hot with some honey ? And what kind of pork soup do you had, this is unusual to find in restaurants and normally they served tripe soup with milk and sour garlic. The bread is a bit a miss, a lot of restaurant's in Bulgaria use these deep frozen greek pitta, If they don't have the place and time to preserve Sesam bread or Parlenka called Bulgarian plain bread. But nice to see the town with some snowflakes and the nice restaurant. Sune
