Background music playing It is lunch time here in Sofia, so today we
found a restaurant that's called Made In Home and we're going to be trying some Bulgarian
food. Whatever that is. Music in the background
I am very impressed by the beards here in this restaurant.
Well, I'm here trying the local drink. Apparently it is called Rakia. I don't know much about
it. It smells strong. Yeah, nice and strong. I'm pretty sure I'm going to hate the Rakia,
so instead I went with something a bit safer. I'm having a lemonade. Homemade nonetheless.
It's very sour but refreshing and think it also has mint leaves in it.
Are you ready for the Rakia? No. Drink up. Oh my gosh.
Honestly, I think it just tastes like chemicals. Chemicals that burn as they go down your throat.
There is nothing appealing about it. The local beer here is fantastic. It has a
nice malt taste. Music playing.
Woo hoo! I drank the whole thing. So our starters have arrived. I'm having the
tomato and vegetable soup. Mmmmm. Okay. What does okay mean? It's a little tangy. I can
really taste the tomatoes but it's very creamy. Almost a bit carroty. So I like it.
And how about you? What did you order for your starter? We we've got a goat cheese and
fig salad. Let me try that here. This looks amazing. I can't wait to dig in. We've got
some fig. Some cranberries as well. Big bite. How is that goat cheese? Wow. It's so fresh
and warm. Goat cheese really compliments the salad. It is such a nice salty addition.
Music playing. So I'm really excited about this meal. We
just got a plate full of trout with potatoes covered in a cream sauce. And it just smells
amazing. Music playing.
Okay. It's so good I need to take a second bite. Jeez!
Music playing. We weren't planning on having dessert but
we were tempted when we saw a waitress walk by with a piece of cheesecake and now we've
got it right here. We already ate the figs. Divine! Very decadent.
So that was an amazing meal. I feel like everything that came out of the kitchen was like magic.
I especially loved the salad with the goat cheese and then the hearty main dish with
the potatoes and the fish. That was also amazing, so highly recommend it. Don't forget the cheesecake.
And the cheesecake, yes. So that meal was a splurge. It almost came to $30 USD but I
guess that's what you expect when you order four drinks and four items off of the menu.
Totally worth every cent though. Yeah, it was.
