Moussaka
One of the several Bulgarian foods confused in the West for being Greek.
Moussaka is made with potatoes, ground meat, and tomatoes then it is topped with a white sauce and baked. Throw in some bay leaves too and you will not want to leave the table until you have finished up the entire baking pan. Eat this with some yoghurt on top.
Moussaka is rather famous on the Balkans and in the Middle East. Its recipe is different depending on the region, but in general it's based either on potatoes (Bulgaria) or eggplant (Greece) and the top layer is often a custard. Grated cheese or bread crumbs are also often sprinkled on top.
