Thinking about visiting Sofia, Bulgaria because your friend/sister/niece/blogger Carolyn lives here? Well, you should be thinking about it if you're not. I mean I am thinking about it. And here's what I came up with 11 foods you'd have to eat if you came to visit me in Sofia. Or 11 foods you should try if you don't actually know me and have me as your personal tour-guide when you visit.

1. Banista. Plain comes with serine but you can also get it with spinach or pumpkin.  The serine is pretty darn good but you'd be remiss if you didn't try the banitsa with pumpkin as well.

2. Aryan. This goes with the Banitsa. It's a yogurt drink.

3. Boza. This also goes with the Banitsa. I don't think it goes as well as Aryan but Bulgarians of all ages seem to swear by it.  Frankly, you'd be remiss in your duties as a foreign visitor if you didn't try the stuff.

4. Now that I am the drinks to try in Bulgaria. I think it's important to mention that you should also give Rikya a shot.
