Hey @MahabubMunna,
Here's one of my favourites. It's called Gevrek (Геврек), it tastes like bread and it's glazed with sugar and/or butter and usually covered in sesame seeds. Here's a photo I borrowed from Google Images:
It's usually sold by grandmas on the streets and in the subways. I think they bake them in their homes and carry them in this type of bags. Gevrek is also sold in bakeries, but I prefer buying it from the grannies. We like to eat it for breakfast. It costs between 0.5-1.00 Lev, which is around 0.30-0.60 USD.
@GeorgesHR, you were wrong! 😄
Thanks for this topic @MahabubMunna!

Hi @MahabubMunna,
The Puri, Jhal Muri and Fuchka look great. Thanks for sharing where is can be found so for the traveler would be easy.
And as @GeorgesHR mentioned Banitsa, we can't miss to present it as well.
Banitsa is pastry cooked with lots of butter and mixture of egg and white cheese. The price is around 1USD, for example the one on the picture costs 1.20BGN, which is 0.75USD. It is usually eaten for breakfast and can be found as street food, but not at mall food courts. The places for breakfast pastries are called Banicharnitsa, named on this famous food. People are often cooking it at home as it is easy and fast recipe and is enough for the whole family.
Cheers,
Marin
Here's something you all @MarinSt, @GeorgesHR, @NadyaPN hadn't thought of- Mekitsi [Мекици].
For everyone who isn't Bulgarian or haven't already visited Bulgaria, Mekitsa is deep fried dough. It's usually served with some jam, cheese and Ayran. You can buy this comfort food for approximately 0,60 stotinki (coin) which is 0.38 US dollars.
Great idea @MahabubMunna and very well decribed post!
Cheers,
Klaudiya
