Food in Romania is not tailored to vegetarians (surprise!). Luckily, I am happy to eat cabbage and polenta, and my family likes meat. I won’t bother to name all the meat since I don’t pay enough attention to it to even identify the animal. But you can see below… they eat a lot of meat.
AND they have one of the best desserts ever (pictured above). Papanasi is a dense doughnut with sour cream and fruit. I don’t particularly care for any of those ingredients, but the combination left me craving more.
Above is Sarmale (minced meat in cabbage rolls)
Above is the biggest dough-boy (as we call something similar that we make on the campfire) ever seen. They called it a Kürtöskalács Chimney Cake.
Above is my favorite, cabbage with polenta.
Above is a chicken shepherd’s pie. It is worth a photo because Logan not only ate it (including some of the potatoes, which she does not eat), but asked to go to the restaurant again.
Above is fried cheese. I was excited to see it on menus but disappointed when I discovered they forgot to add flavor.
The plum wine I tried in Bucharest is beside the kid’s lemonade. Logan was not a fan of this one as it lacked sugar.
