Summary/Abstract: Comparison of the manufactured and used nutrition products by the Sarakatsans in Bulgaria allows for the conclusion that nomadic stock-breeding on the Balkans is necessarily connected to the market, where the manufactured (predominantly dairy) products are being sold and wherefrom nutrition products are being bought for the everyday meal. Two distortions in manufacturing of food products and nutrition of the community are being studied – the pig-breeding and the low consummation of milk proving the close dependency of the typical Sarakatsans’ way of life on the specific natural environment and economic situation on the Balkan peninsula.
