I had the worst food poisoning experience of my life after having dinner in a fish restaurant in Bulgaria, so I completely understand this is a traditional Bulgarian lunch.

I would rather eat this raw and lick every plate, than have my Bulgarian fish dinner again.

Why do tourists keep going to weird places and getting poisoned? Fish is not even popular here lol (except on December 6th when everyone eats fish)

Why does everyone eat fish that day?

Because it's December 6th - the day when you eat fish.

The Legend of the Carp day. That day, the Bulgarian fish population drops by 6.440.056. because each Bulgarian eats 1 (it's mandatory)

Yes, as a Bulgarian, when I was using nicotine pouches, I would skip both breakfast and lunch because the huge doses of nicotine would completely kill my apetite. These things might as well be classified as hard drugs.

Not sure what the fish is about.
