After Bulgaria joined the EU at the start of the year, some of the effects were not what I had in mind: a special beer with a particular quality is popular over Europe.
A funny story out of Bulgaria this week caught my eye, and it's all a result of joining the European Union on January 1, 2007. The EU accession led to the cutting of customs taxes on alcohol coming out of Bulgaria, and now there's a big demand for Boza beer.
What's so special about Boza, I hear you ask? Well, although I can neither confirm nor deny this myself, it's believed by many that drinking Boza helps to give a woman a fuller chest! Customers from neighboring Romania, in particular, are heading over the border in droves to bring back their now much cheaper Boza. In fact, it's even been snapped up by ski resort owners in Austria, if the newspaper reports are true. Please let us know if you have a chance to drink some Boza, and most importantly tell us if the results are as the folklore suggest!
