I'm sure my poor American brain can understand descriptions of food.I didn't mean to insult you but if I tell you I like "tarrator" you wouldn't understand what it is because there's no single English word for it. The dictionary says it's "yoghurt and chopped cucumber soup" which is simply a description of it and it's not even close to being accurate because it's supposed to be cold when you eat it. Our language has many single-word names for different meals and none of them can be translated. I can only tell you the descriptions of them. Like "Mousaka" which is stewed first and then baked potatoes with minced meat. Or "banitza" which is a special type of dough for baking and this "banitza" can contain anything you can imagine but mostly it contains cheese and/or spinach.
If you have never eaten such meals, you wouldn't understand their names, which is what I meant and not to insult you.
Dude... we have google.
Also, I have Bulgarian friends and a Macedonian ex. I've had every food you just mentioned.
