Kebapche · Plovdiv
Kebapche is the Bulgarian grilled minced-meat skewer: a finger-shape of pork (sometimes mixed with beef), garlic, cumin and savory, cooked over charcoal.
Kebapche entered Bulgarian cooking under the Ottomans, who brought minced-meat grilling traditions from Asia Minor. Bulgaria's specific seasoning (savory, cumin, black pepper) and its pork base distinguishes Bulgarian kebapche from the lamb-and-beef Turkish original. Pair with lyutenitsa and bread at any Plovdiv mehana from spring through autumn, often served with a side of fried potatoes.
