​Bulgaria offers diverse geography, ecology, history, friendly people and of course, the unique Bulgarian food, which is the beautiful balance between meat, yoghurt, cheese, and vegetables that work perfectly. Bulgaria is famous for its quality vegetables and dairy products and its variety of mild spices. Bulgarian cuisine is tasty, fresh and hearty – from salads through delicious pastries to grilled meat classics. Many of the dishes are prepared according to traditional recipes handed down from generation to generation over the centuries.
The products for which Bulgaria is internationally known are yogurt and white feta cheese, which could be directly consumed but at the same time they are important ingredients in many dishes, such as “banitsa”. It is one of the most famous and most popular breakfast items in the country, which is made of dough with various fillings, such as cheese, spinach, rice, and meat.
One of the most popular appetizers is “tarator” – cold cucumber soup. It is prepared with yogurt, cucumbers, dill, crushed walnuts and spices.
“Shopska” salad is the most popular salad prepared with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers and feta cheese.
Bulgaria’s cuisine also consists of various cold cuts and other meat delicacies, the most popular of which is the flat sausage – “lukanka”.

I was born in the USA but I lived in Jamaica most of my life. Even though I am an American, you would think I am Jamaican because of my accent. I often miss my home in Jamaica, where some of my friends and family are, even my vibrant self. But in this lovely city of Queens, it’s easy to find people like me who share the same culture and I think this is why this highlight spot is wonderful.
I love Jamaican food very much but I didn't realize it until I started living in America and longed for it. There are many restaurants here in Queens where you can get Jamaican and Caribbean food but for me the best would be Golden Krust . Why? Well, it’s because they have almost every Jamaican dish I can think of. Like: Ackee and Saltfish, Jerk Chicken, and Patties. Let’s not forget the sweet Bun and Cheese, Sorrel, and Ginger Beer. My family buys from the restaurant most times and every time I eat their food it brings back memories and gives me the island feeling. You can find their restaurant anywhere in Queens. So if you feel a longing for home or just want to try something new visit Golden Krust. Beware though, You might want to buy the entire store.
