I have not been to Bulgaria, but have eaten salads all over the world and can see nothing particularly innovative about these combinations. As you say, I suppose you have to be there and be drinking to appreciate the qualities of the local food. tag:thebestfood.blog.co.uk,2008-08-12:/2008/08/12/shopska-salad-4577279/#c7494538slivatree2008-08-12T14:41:28+02:002008-08-12T14:41:28+02:00Thanks for the comment. <br> <br> Firstly I'm curious whether you have been to Bulgaria, my gut feeling is that you haven't judging you comment.<br> <br> I digress:<br> I have tried making the same recipe outside Bulgaria and it fails miserably.<br> <br> There are two reasons for this, <br> <br> No Local Bulgarian ingredients<br> and<br> Wrong Location (should be Bulgaria)<br> <br> YOu may think this salad is not 'unique' but unless you go to Bulgaria and try it unique is something you will just have to imagine.<br> <br> I forgot to mention the Bulgarian rakia that goes alongside it.tag:thebestfood.blog.co.uk,2008-08-12:/2008/08/12/shopska-salad-4577279/#c7494399technomist2008-08-12T14:25:13+02:002008-08-12T14:25:13+02:00Its very nice, but could one really claim it as a unique break-through in world cuisine to put some local cheese on top of a basic salad with a hot chili in it?
