Bulgarian cuisine

Street vendors selling simit, a local pastry enjoyed by all walks of life, have been removed from central spots across Istanbul.

Bulgaria's State Fund Agriculture and the Fruits and Vegetables Processors Union have signed a contract for the promotion of local products in Russia and the United Arab Emirates.

Bulgaria's probably most favourite dish – the Shopska Salad – topped the culinary preferences of the Europeans. 

It garnered 19 529 facebook Likes in the European Parliament's campaign “A Taste of Europe”, which started several weeks before the European Elections. 

In it the citizens of the 28 EU member states could vote for their favourite national dish.

Ahead of the European Parliament elections, the EP's Facebook page has launched "A Taste of Europe" campaign.
