المعنى
Bulgarian yogurt (literally sour milk).
خلفية ثقافية
Bulgarians claim that the bacteria 'Lactobacillus bulgaricus' can only be found in the air of Bulgaria. This makes the yogurt a source of intense national pride and a symbol of health. Thanks to a partnership in the 1970s, Bulgarian yogurt is incredibly popular in Japan. The 'Meiji Bulgaria Yogurt' brand is a household name, and many Japanese tourists visit Bulgaria specifically to see the 'land of yogurt'. Across the Balkans, yogurt is used as a sauce for almost everything, from 'sarmi' (stuffed leaves) to 'fried peppers'. It is rarely eaten as a sweet dessert with fruit, unlike in the US or UK. The discovery of the yogurt bacteria by Stamen Grigorov is taught in Bulgarian schools as a major scientific achievement, linking the country to the global history of medicine and probiotics.

The Spoon Test
Good Bulgarian yogurt should be thick enough that if you stick a spoon in it, it stays upright. This is a sign of quality.
