What is the currency in Bulgaria?(euro????) and what would you class as typical Bulgarian food?re: Questions from A bulgaria novice!!
Sorry,I believe the currency is levs but are euros legal tender as well?
re: Questions from A bulgaria novice!!
Euros....Not generally (except airports, reps, some hotels etc) but can be exchanged as per Sterling.
Food.... Eggy Salady Sausagy Hammy.......with the usual "Western" style offerings Chips Burgers Pizzas (the Pizzas on the whole are the best I've had outside of Italy)
Steaks etc. Carnivours can tempt themselves with Heart Tongue Liver etc.
The food is generally good (they serve "lightly" cooked chicken without poisoning their customers...something we over here struggle to do) though ...

Thanks John,What about the drink? cheap local beer? any British beer/lager? Do they have a rocket fuel type local spirit?re: Questions from A bulgaria novice!!
The beer in Bansko in the modern bars was £1 pint, though half that in some mehanas. I prefer Zagorka but Kamenitza is ok too. Tuborg is roughly the same price too. If you mean Carling by British it's not. It originated in Canada and compares poorly to the above (in my opinion).
Yes there are many local fire-waters. Triple distilled Rakia goes over 90% but at that it will affect your vision............permanently if you drink enough.
Do yourself a favour, Col. If you drink the stronger ...

Do yourself a favour, Col. If you drink the stronger stuff do what a lot of locals do and accompany it with a bottle of water. But go easy and preferably stick to the known brands which are all reasonably priced.
Have a good one.

re: Questions from A bulgaria novice!!
Will give the Rakia a miss.....me thinks!! Would Baleys be available in some of the bars John?re: Questions from A bulgaria novice!!
Baileys is available, but the Bulgarians do plenty of less lethal spirits, including a wide variety of Scnapps which is cheap - 2 levs a shot. Most bars will do happy 'hours' so you'll get doubles for 2 levs!re: Questions from A bulgaria novice!!
Baileys is available in virtually all "modern" bars. If you're going out to Bansko the snow was as good as any I'd boarded on in years (last week). The powder was too light!. The best bar in Bansko is "Amigo's". If you go in say hello to Vale and Georgi. Say John with the cowboy hat gives his regards.P.S. if people tell you to try "Lion's pub", cough loudly and pass. At the moment it's a half built, tiny place with poor beer that fortunately frequently runs out.
John.
