communism was a symbol of bulgaria and the ups and downs and rollercoasters of bulgaria and what it wento doubt it is a powerful, controversial, and iconic building, and to me, it feels worthy of preservation in whatever form. but ultimately it is down to bulgaria itself to decide how it remembers its past going into the future. sofia has some great, fancy restaurants, but if you're looking for something more close to home, this is the spot for you. this is the outskirts of sofia. she has been serving traditional bulgarian food for over 30 years. it is like grandma's kitchen in here. if there was one dish that everyone visiting bulgaria should try, what is the dish? sign me up. that sounds amazing. i will get one pacha. pacha is served all year round, hot in the winter and cold in the summer. and here it is. it looks like... it looks like ice cream. it's extremely rubbery. so... it is quite chewy with mystery crunches in the middle, and very garlicky, but melts in your mouth. it is actually kind of good. still to come on the show. simon's here with tips on copenhagen on a budget and how
