It will be kinda strange if I go to Athens and eat in a Bulgarian restaurant...
... Unless, that is, I want to tell Ratka/Radka about the discussion that was provoked by her name =o). Or I have a sudden urge for the best (read "Bulgarian" :) feta cheese.

Not to worry, Ratka's cuisine is mostly "world fusion" in its approach -- with obvious Bulgarian touches too!
I always enjoy a hearty shopska salad when in Sofia, but bulgarian white cheese as a bit on the salty side when you are used to feta. On the other hand, I think that it is a crime that nobody has introduces lutenitsa outside Bulgaria. It beats the hell out of ketchup, salsa, or any other dips I can think of! He who markets lutenitsa in the US will make billions.

They actually have lutenitsa in the States...I have seen it on the shelves of Ralph's - the biggest food market in California (or so they claim).
It's called "Bulgarian lutnitza (sic) salsa dip," but I am afraid it's kinda bland for the addicted-to-Mexican-food los angelenos.
