Why Bulgarian Yogurt is the Best in the World

 

Nothing is as basic and good as a spoon load of smooth and tangy yogurt and in Bulgaria it is not merely a food, it is a lifestyle. This happened the very first time I had tried the real Bulgarian yogurt, sitting in a small guesthouse outside Plovdiv. It came served in an earthenware bowl with a drizzle of honey and a few walnuts on top, and the first bite of this dish made me understand why Bulgaria is so proud of it.

 

The beauty behind the Bulgarian yogurt is not only its flavor which is easily discriminatory between the tart and the smooth but also its origin. The characteristic bacteria Lactobacillus bulgaricus which was found in Bulgaria is also used in traditional yogurt making. It is this small microorganism that makes the Bulgarian yogurt taste and possesses the distinctive thick and velvety texture unlike all other types of yogurt in the world.

 



But there is tradition, other than science. Production of yogurt in Bulgaria dates back thousands of years, with one generation transferring the yogurt production to the next. Now, in little villages, in lonely homes, people ferment fresh milk in clay pots, covering it with linen, and letting it coagulate itself overnight.

 

Note: Make sure to check  Airport Parking Stansted  whenever you are planning to travel so you can start your strip with proper planning.

 

The reason why I like Bulgarian yogurt the most is because it can be found everywhere in the breakfast table down to dinner spreads. In summer, locals blend it into cucumbers and garlic in the refreshing tarator soup, or pour it over hot preparation such as moussaka or just eat it as it is with a touch of sugar. It is the comfort food in its home based form healthy, sustaining, and sincere.

 

As I was enjoying that bowl out near Plovdiv, I came to the idea that Bulgarian yogurt is the best not because it is such because of what makes it but the spirit that goes into it. It is the comfort, the tolerance, it is the sense to nature that makes each bite of food that much like a home.

Thrift Shopping in LA: Where to Score Vintage Treasures

    When I arrived in LA, I wanted to achieve my dreams and didn’t have much money which made me fall in love with thrift stores. I soon saw that there’s more to Los Angeles than the famous shops on Rodeo Drive.   In reality, the most interesting fashion in New York comes from the hidden-away thrift stores found in interesting areas.   Hunting for vintage items can be very exciting. Every faded Levi’s jacket, 80s band tee and well-worn pair of boots has its own story. And LA? It includes many stories.   Note: if you are travelling on a budget then you can save money by booking short stay parking Heathrow   and have some extra money for your trip.
