Hunger Pains
Everyone always asks me what Bulgarian food is. I’ve always answered in very bland and generic terms such as “delicious”, “diverse”, and the like. I apologize. I’m a terrible cook, and a worse describer-of-food. I specialize in eating instead!
Anyway, here’s a good-faith attempt to remedy the situation somewhat. This winter, when I was visiting family in Bulgaria for the holidays, I took some (very few) pictures of the feasts. I’ve included a few here. [Note: not pictured is the entire whole pig that was cooked and eaten. Yum.]
Enjoy:

I will eat a bit of the roof, and you Gretel, can eat some of the window, it will taste sweet.”
