People of Gabrovo (Central Bulgaria) are a topic of many jokes. In jokes they have the reputation of being stingy, bargain-loving and overly practical, similarly to, e.g., people of Scotland.
Yesterday in Veliko Tarnovo (also Central Bulgaria) I found this Gabrovian Chocolate. Essentially, it's just pressed smoke-dried black plums, although healthy and tasty.
Actually, it is more expensive than real chocolate. Perhaps it's time to change the brand.
