    Rakia is a traditional Bulgarian drink which is often distilled at home - it is basically a fruit brandy. It is typically made from any fruit, the most popular is grape, but also plum, quince are popular.

    Most of our food are full of cheese/garlic/milk/kiselo mliako "yoghurt"/ not only for taste for health too. Because of deep history and tradition preserved from farms and small villages with less food to can make good healthy product like tarator "yoghurt" cucumber water and salt some people put grated walnut. Kiselo mliako "yoghurt" is in every house for us is like medicine from nature we mix is with water and salt = airan in hot summer is best or when you drink too much alcohol this can revive you :) when we get sun burn or any other burn we apply ourselves with kiselo mliako like medicine cream.
