Romanian food


Well, we don't yet have many nice things to say about Romanian food. This here is meat wrapped in cabbage with a sizeable side of, you guessed it, more cabbage. I thought the whole thing was sour and pretty bad. Although I do like the thing all Romanian meals allegedly come with, mamaliga , a polenta mush. Amy says it has no flavor but I like mushy flavorless things myself.



A whole plate of mamaliga and sour cream. I approve.




Ah, something delicious. These are dessert crepes (really more like blintzes) with sweet cheese and raisins



More picturesque shots of the city.



Note the Brasov "Hollywood sign" on top of the hill.

Seriously very pretty.



We have discovered that Romanian desserts are pretty impressive. The chocolate in the center of this roll was fudgy and delicious.




This is a traditional Romanian placinta, a layered dough that can have a sweet or savory filling. This one has sweet cheese and raisins. See the pattern?
