The plan was to stop at one of the small local restaurants for a bite of Bulgarian home cooking. We learn a number of things:
1) Most cafés serve coffee and beer, maybe wine and vodka. Not food.
2) Many places are just windows where you can get a drink. And maybe a pastry.
3) There are many bars in our neighbourhood. Might have crisps.
4) Only real restaurant in our neighbourhood is a pizza place - Italian not Bulgarian
5) Bulgarians are highly sociable. Everyone in the world is out having a drink.
6) As with many Europeans, getting to sit down at a bar or café is not important.
7) Ditto getting to go inside. It hasn’t to rain has it?
8) Good choice of Bulgarian food at deli counter of our (German) supermarket
9) Escalators at above don’t work until you step on them. Why waste electricity?
So collect food from the deli in Billa and have a meal at home. Bulgarian mavrud (dry red) wine.
