What I EAT With My BABA in the BALKANS (BULGARIA) Part III 🧄 What EASTERN EUROPEAN Grandma’s Cook
Part I: • What I Eat with My BAB...
Part II: • What I EAT with My BAB...
I’m back with Baba Nina (my Grandma) in Sofia, Bulgaria (Southern Balkans) and the feast has begun!
Life with Baba is centered around FOOD (very very delicious food 😋) and I wanted to share more of what she cooks with you!
Today she will be cooking a veryyyy special meal (that I have never actually tried before, myself), using ingredients we brought to her from the farm… and beyond! All I can say is 🤤
We all know there is nothing better than a home cooked meal from Grandma 👵🏻❤️🌶️🧅🥕🥬🥩🥘
ABOUT ME:
Hi guys!
My name is Laurie and I dropped city life (Manhattan, New York) for a simple farm life. I literally woke up one morning and realized NYC wasn’t for me. I booked a ticket (the same day), packed a little suitcase and moved to a teeny-tiny Bulgarian village- lost in time. And when I say lost in time I mean lost-in-time. No time crunching jobs, no watching the clock, hardly any internet service at all really. Imagine a village from the Middle Ages… that’s pretty much what you get here. And I’m loving every second of it!

Love your channel! Another great program! We used to catch carp around the Great Lakes when I was growing up, and it was always very good. Not muddy. We also have carp every year now for Passover, made into Gefilte Fish (fish dumplings), which are also very good. Bulgaria is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. The "Stone River" was amazing. Peace be with you friend. 💖🌻🥀🌲🌳🐟

Oh wow! I didn’t know people eat carp in the US. I just never saw it in supermarkets in NYC . So good to hear you have such beautiful memories catching carp in The Great Lakes of all places! I have never been but heard they are incredible. Gefilte Fish! Sounds delicious!!! I love trying new foods and that sounds particularly delicious 😋. As always, thank you so much for watching and commenting. I always learn so much from you! Best wishes to you and your family 😊🌺💖🐣🍃🐰

I ♥ muddy tasting fish, Laurie! 😅 it looked really "meaty" The Banitsa looks like soul food 😍 The rocks in the rock river were rounded by water flow and given the size of them ...a hugely powerful flow ...which is no longer there. I wonder what happened. I'll have a Google 🤔 Thanks for sharing 😊

Isn’t muddy fish just delicious!? 🤤It doesn’t get enough love 😃. Sharan is veryyy meaty and when it has a good layer of fat around the belly is out-of-this-world delicious! Imagine the flow of that river… nature is AMAZING 🌍🍃
We loved the video again ,thank you. My mouth is watering from the banitza 😋😋😋 Stil 4 weeks to go and then we will be back in Bulgaria. One of the First thing we eat must be banitza😋it's delicious. These rocks look amazing. The nature is gorgeous there. Have a blessed week again.❤

I hope so too! We have such a beautiful country and you are 100% right that a few people are ruining the quality of life for everyone else… it’s so sad to see the way retired people live in our country. Hopefully more and more Bulgarians move back and help rebuild our beautiful country. 🇧🇬❤️
Love love baba banitsa....we take a shortcut by using puff pastry, but it's not the same as filo in layers.

Ahh yes the carp , which as you said is a bottom feeder ,at least here it’s considered a habitat destroyer , they uproot vegetation and eventually a clear body of water can turn muddy . But I do see it is a liked fish I. Europe . Beautiful dry river bed ! Some very large boulders for sure . In the States they have the Asian carp which frankly looks odd as its eyes are on the lower part of its head ? They jump out of the water at the slightest noise and have hurt many a fisherman when hit in the head .. 20 plus pounds will do that 😮 . Love how serene it is there , none of the hustle and bustle of so many areas

Oh wow! I didn’t know carp is considered a habitat destroyer! I also have never seen an Asian Carp before… what a strange looking fish wow 😯. So scary that it actually jumps out of the water and harms fishermen. I wonder if the same is true for the carp we eat here in Bulgaria. I will ask uncle Google 😃. You learn new things every day! Thanks for all the info!!
Yes the sharan tastes very good

“Sharan” is called carp in English and it is consumed in many Western European countries.

À while ago I bought a wood saw with handles on both sides. They told me Bulgarians call it "sharran" after the fish. Apparently this fish has large teeth?
@sistersofbulgaria9396

Hmmmm 🤔 Sharan doesn’t have big teeth. It hardly has any teeth at all actually 😃. There is another very popular fish in Bulgaria called “shtooka” (щука) that has very big teeth. I think shtooka translates to “pike” in English. Are you sure they didn’t mean “shtooka”?

Hi! I really want to help you but the truth is it’s not easy to get a visa via Bulgaria to Germany. It was a bit easier a few years ago but the government caught on that people are using Bulgaria as a gateway country to get to Germany so they made the rules much stricter. For example, to buy a house in Bulgaria you have to be a citizen. I had a friend from Pakistan who wanted to get a work visa for Bulgaria and then go to Holland and I did everything I could to help but they still denied him 😔. Unfortunately Europe is not easy to get into anymore because economically people are struggling here too.
