"One of the questionable food and wine tours has my favorite bad Bulgarian of the day… when “in 1936 Bulgaria got down under Turkish slavery.”  I can only assume that Bulgaria was in fact not dancing or enjoying the “Turkish slavery” a lot but I digress."

What's it with this sentence and what's it with that date? Bulgarians are touchy - feely for one some-five-hundred-years period of their history that started just on the verge of Rennaissance in Europe. How is the "Under the Yoke" project going on?
