Remembering this perfect summer salad in the waning days of summer.🌶 Roasted red peppers, incomparable Bulgarian tomatoes, and homemade sheep’s milk sirene from a guest house in Velingrad. I took the narrow gauge rail there, a rickety little train through the mountains that hasn’t changed in a hundred years. This was one of the most memorable meals I ate during my solo trips into the rural reaches of Bulgaria. I miss it already, and I’ve been thinking a lot about how to share what I’ve learned with the world. Bulgaria is full of so many unexpected treasures and it would be selfish to simply collect them and keep them all for myself. I’ll keep ruminating on this but in the meantime, if this picture made your mouth water then my work here is done (for now).
