This story is about two
friends from high-school, Ivaylo and Stefan,
and their love for Bulgarian food. They both
grew up in Bulgaria, where the word food
and the words organic food meant the
same thing. They both liked cooking classic
Bulgarian meals and of course loved eating
them too.
On one of his trips abroad, Ivaylo
discovered with great dissatisfaction what a
non-organic food was. He was very surprised
to find out that food can be prepared with
chemically altered ingredients and
that even
basic foods, such as bread, are made with
artificial fillers and additives. He was
puzzled as to why people would want to buy
something that is not natural when they can
have the same food in its natural form.
Soon, he realized that it was much cheaper
to produce the non-organic, altered foods
and hence, it cost less to buy it.
Being used to home grown, hence organic,
Bulgarian food Ivaylo had a hard time finding
the same kinds of food he had taken for
granted for many years. It took time and in
many cases, a mere chance, for him to
discover a few restaurants that serve
Bulgarian food prepared with natural
ingredients where he could enjoy his home
country cuisine in its best form.
As years passed by the list of Bulgarian
restaurants that Ivaylo had visited kept
growing. He also kept records of the places
he hadn't been to yet, just in case he goes
there one day with friends. As to eating
organic foods only outside the Bulgarian
restaurants? Well, he knew about several
stores that sold Bulgarian produce and he
would often buy food from there.
He also went to the local farmers markets to
buy fresh produce. In other words he was
doing his best to eat the same quality of
food that he had grown up with.
At the same time Stefan, or Stefano as the
media knows him, was getting better at
preparing all kinds of meals - with
Bulgarian still being his favorite ones. But
since it is not always fun to prepare all
the Bulgarian food you want to eat yourself,
Stefan wanted to find a place where he can
enjoy a mixed grill, Bulgarian style, with a
pitcher of ice cold Kamenitza, as often as
he'd like.
And here's where all of this came together.
Ivaylo and Stefan, sat down one day, chopped
some Shopska salad, poured some rakia and
realized that they have something that many
other people can use as well - they had
information about how to find Bulgarian
food. This is how this handy online guide to
