Gastronomy

 

Good morning or good evening! ✋

The subject of this article is not the least since we will talk about gastronomy! Every country has its 

own dishes and specialties and this article is intended to inform you about these dishes and make you,

 like us, want to taste these delicious dishes.

To be honest, I had a bad image of their traditional dishes and while doing research, I finally look forward

 to tasting them!

These dishes may have similarities with Turkish, African or American dishes for example.

 

To begin with, there is the Mămăliga. It is a classic meal that we can find in a large part of Romanian 

households. It is made from cornmeal and usually serves as an alternative to bread or to accompany

 other dishes.

 

Another dish is the Ciorba. This meal does not make me want because I am not a big fan of fermented

 food. Among the ingredients are some firm bran, beets, mushrooms, potatoes and of course meat

 (bacon, beef, chicken). To flavour all this, we add aromatic herbs. The most traditional ciorba is the one

 prepared with guts, garlic, cream and vinegar.

 

The Sarmale is a meal that surprised me. It’s cabbage leaves stuffed with rice, meat, vegetables but

 also aromatic herbs. Fresh cream (smântâna in Romanian) accompanies it.

If we really want to taste THE most popular dish in Romania, we have to ask for Mititei! It’s everywhere

, really everywhere. These are small grilled sausages made from ground meat, garlic and spices.

 Serve with Zacusca (an assortment of vegetables left in oil or vinegar).

 

 

 

When the holiday season approaches, whether it is Christmas or Easter, you will find terrines on the

 table based on pork jelly (Piftie). It’s reminiscent of meals in France when I’m at home. 

However, you eat them in the evening with a bath when you don’t want to cook.

At the end of the meal, we like to have a good dessert. This dessert (Papanaşi) is a cottage cheese 

doughnut. They are served warm with sour cream and/or morello cherry jam. A second dessert is  

Mucenici. It is also a donut that is glazed with honey and nuts. The Mucenici are cooked and offered

 only on March 9, for the feast of the 40 martyrs where we commemorate all those who suffered during

 the communist regime.

I hope you enjoyed this presentation and wanted to come and taste them!

I will come back to you to give you my impressions after tasting them.

Kristell 🙂
