| Home made rakia is a great drink, according to him, and he has become accustomed to drinking it. |
| This Saturday some of the ladies of the village, dressed in traditional clothes, offered aryian, rakia, banitsa and posies of flowers. |
| To accompany my meze I couldn't do anything else but to go for a Troyanska Slivova Rakia, for which this region is famous. |
| We sit and drink rakia and soft drinks and over two or three hours share a large dish of potato salad, followed by home-made soup and pumpkin banitsa. |
| For instance, taxation of home production of rakia was introduced in Bulgaria, and this caused considerable public discontent. |
| Bulgarians begin the meal with a salad which is taken with rakia, the national firewater, and consumed ever so slowly. |
