In some old travel notes written by a traveler who passed through our lands we read: “In the days when meat is eaten, the Bulgarian villagers boil dishes of meat. This dishes consist of meat,
which, when well washed, is put in a hot brass vessel or clay pots, then on the fire and salt was added. They put various spices, but the secret of the dishes is that they are cooked slowly, on a slow fire, to stew – that is the way they cook them!
