    I am Bulgarian and I'm happy you enjoyed your stay here. Glad that you enjoyed Varna as well. Varna is my favorite city here, although I am not from Varna myself. If you visit us again, plan a bit longer stay in Varna, there is so much more to see in the city and arround. The people from Varna (or varnentsi in Bulgarian) are quite friendly and respect their architectural heritage. If you liked banitsa, then there is quite the range of types of banitsa you can try, not only the one with cheese, but there is also one with pumpkin (a sweet one), one with spinach. There could be others. A sweet banitsa like cake is the baklava, I defo recomend it.

      @@SarahandMarek it's my ancient city, and it's beautiful! I just have to recommend it, here is the oldest building with 2 floors in the world, also lots of ancient Greek and Roman relics, fortresses and mosaics .... With a decent night life, lots of bars and clubs, young people all around..... You will enjoy it, I'm sure! You're welcome anytime you decide, shoot me a message if you plan to come, I'll help you out with accomodations, etc...... It's pretty expensive here in comparison with the rest of Bulgaria, but I have a few friends in the hotel industry and I'll help you out! Anyways, I'm glad someone from abroad likes Bulgaria and Bulgarians..... We're not exactly the most popular kid around the block ... Наздраве 🍻

    Man, everybody hates boza, even between bulgarians it's pretty 50/50 :D:D:D Usually I would recommend you drink that while eating Banitsa, which is a pastry type breakfast with bulgarian cheese in it. Trust me that is one of the best things you can eat and most people actually drink that with Airan, however there are people who prefer it with Boza. I am one of those Boza type of guys. Whenever I am with someone and we're getting such breakfasts most people are like " wtf is wrong with you " when I go for the boza, lmao :D Idk, I just love it.

    Anyone, non Bulgarian, who drinks boza is extremely brave in my book. It is totally an acquired taste. And indeed it is better with banitsa. It is a great probiotic. It is great on a warm day. Varna bus station is a total disaster in general. Baked pumpkin is better eaten warm but you will probably not find it like that in a restaurant

    • @SarahandMarek

      @@SarahandMarek Well do not worry. I have met only one foreigner in my life that likes boza. The problem is also what they sell, like the one you drank, is not such great quality and they use artificial sweeteners so that compounds the problem. Real boza ferments quickly and has a slightly tangy taste and a faint traces of alcohol due to the fermentation. It is actually a very healthy drink and like everything healthy usually does not taste great, if you are not used it. Banitsa is tasty but due to the oil is hardly something to eat every day and in fact most Bulgarians do not eat everyday. Glad you enjoyed your time in Bulgaria.
