The reason 81% prefer their own products to the table is because they know what they contain.

66% of young people dominate the culture of homemade food
Consumers are convinced that these foods and winter foods are of better quality and save money
EVELINA SLAVKOVA
The high levels of consumption of homemade products and winter foods are not a big surprise as a sociological result. The data provides a good starting point for the eating habits of today’s Bulgarians, but also for preserving traditions in this regard.
In general, we can say that this cultural characteristic of Bulgarian is alive. The modern lifestyle, the abundance of food products in the shops have not erased the usual winter food preparation for Bulgarians and their preference for the consumption of homemade products.
However, there is a specific point in this regard that is important to keep in mind. In small towns and villages, where mostly older people live, the consumption of homemade products and winter foods is largely a tradition. At the same time it is and
cheaper
road
to live
Almost two thirds of Bulgarians say they consume homemade products because it is cheaper for them. 86% of the villagers say so.
The specificity comes from the fact that people with higher material status, who live in big cities or in the capital, also consume homemade products and winter foods. To some extent this is related to tradition, there is someone who prepares it, etc. At the same time, there is a connection with the culture created in recent years that this food is of better quality than what we buy in the store. Even the large food distribution chains are guided by this understanding and advertise some of their products as homemade, produced in a certain locality, in order to increase their quality in the eyes of the consumer and, consequently, the demand.
Up to 83% of Bulgarians share the opinion that they consume
Homemade
prepared
food because they are
Best Quality
of those in the store. That is, the preparation of traditional homemade products and winter foods is no longer related only to the material situation of Bulgarians and traditions, but also to the formation of a new consumer culture for the quality of the food we consume.
The data shows another important point. Homemade products and winter foods are not “modernized.” Pickles, compotes, jams, lyutenitsa, sauerkraut, etc. traditionally made products remain.
A difference is reported between the youngest, who are more distant in participating in the process of preparing homemade and winter foods, but at the same time they do not move away from their consumption. 66% of young people between 18 and 29 years old consume these products because
is there someone for them
produced them
The big question is whether these traditions will survive for 10 or 15 years. And if the change of generations will not erase this specific culture of the Bulgarian “jar”.
