Anyways, I wanted to say that there is a little business in my town that sells 1 lev banitza's. Equivalent to about 66.6 cents in America. Hopefully that will set the stage for you to understand exactly how good this oily little snack was.
You see this picture...That is $.66
How, you ask? Well let's see. I think they can justify it not simply on the amount of food, well, because it is a lot...at least 1 American dollar. The justiication is probably because in that $.66 of food the amount of oil, fat, and other "great for your health" ingredients bring the value down by 33%. Which in my case is a blessing because I only had 1 leva today and that is what I got.
I got something so delicious, that it was gone by the time I got back to work. All my co-workers asked, "Where did you go?" I tried to explain to them that I ate my lunch/banitza on the way back. Futile effort...I got more of an astounded, "you silly American" look on their face.
As I write the oil is starting to create a pit in my stomach...just the way I like it. That heavy feeling just after eating the dessert you shouldn't have eaten after Thanksgiving dinner. MMMMM! I can't justify the walk up to get it as enough exercise to compensate or my meal of a veggie omelete tonight as a guilt meal. I have learned hear in Bulgaria. You can look good without working out.
But then again maybe they don't eat banitza's everyday, and neither do I (But I could).
Bon Appetite! (Bulgarian's use it)
