We don’t really have aperitifs and digestives like the Italians or the French… we can spend the whole night eating Shopska salad and drinking rakia, but we would never reach the stage of desserts with sweet liquors or coffee with anisette.
…mmm Amaretto ice-cream!

The final course is anisette with black coffee. I wonder if that’s a Southern European thing? (BTW Italy has a wide variety of alcoholic beverages, their beer isn’t bad, since they probably learned how to make it from the Germans :) and they have this wonderful concoction called Amaretto).

I enjoyed this cross-cultural comparison very much!
