"Torshi" originally comes from the Persian word "Torsh", which means "sour". In the cuisine of many Balkan and Middle East countries, turşu, toursi, turshiya, torshi or turšija means pickles. It is common in Turkish cuisine, Greek cuisine, Bulgarian cuisine, Macedonian cuisine, Serbian cuisine, Bosnian cuisine and Middle Eastern cuisine. It is a traditional appetizer, meze for rakı, ouzo and rakia. There are different types of tursu for example; in Bulgarian cuisine the most popular are "Tsarska turshiya" (King's pickles) and "Selska turshiya" (country pickles).

Making tursu at home is still a wide-spread tradition during the autumn months, even in the big cities. Tursu is often served in restaurants or it can be bought prepared from large supermarkets.

It comprises cucumber, cauliflower, carrots, cabbage, etc. pickled in curry, vinegar, and salt.

Tsarska turshiya is made with cauliflower, red peppers, carrots, and celery. The vegetables are mixed with some salt and sugar and stay overnight. Thereafter the juice is mixed with vinegar and boiled for several minutes. The vegetables are put in glass jars and pressed down with cherry twigs and a round river stone, then the jars are filled with the cool pickle marinade.

Selska turshiya is made with green peppers, green tomatoes, carrots, cauliflower, cabbage, and celery. The vegetables are put in a container, pressed down with some twigs and a stone, and a marinade made of salt, vinegar and water is poured on. The pickles are left to ferment.

Well seen, vivid colors but a bit out of focus and the upper left corner a bit distracting.
