The food that I found the most interesting from Bulgaria was the 
Kebapche. Kebapche is minced meat, beef, and pork, with spices shaped into an almost hot dog like form. The dish is very simple and can easily be eaten on the go making it perfect for street food. I am really looking forward to trying a kebapche on my 2019 Journeys trip.
The Kebapche is one of the main staples of Bulgaria. Almost every restaurant has some form of Kebapche on its menu. This dish could be found everywhere in Sofia, but mostly near brewery for everyone says the best way to have a hot Kebapche is with a cold pint of beer. The dish is so common that it is almost like hot dogs here in the U.S. everyone has at least tried it once and when you have nothing else its a cheap and filling meal to eat on the go.
Kebapche as is one of the only foods that was still made by government-run places during World War 2. So many people lived off of this food during this time that it is now used in wedding dishes. Since there are so many different people in Bulgaria there are also many different family versions for Kebapche. As the Economy of Bulgaria grows so does the ingredients in the Kebapche as well. Many supermarkets sell premade packages of this minced meats tubes that many different types of preserves are added to the meat.
All in all, I really can’t wait to try this food in its many different forms on our trip, and maybe even learn how to make it myself to share with others, or maybe just moved there after I graduate. Who knows what someone might find when going to such a new place and meeting new people.
