The traditional big Romanian meal involves several courses. Here is a sample:A true Romanian meal always begins with soup like the one pictured above. The most common type of soup is called "ciorba" and it is a sour soup and can be served with vegetables and a variety of meats.
A common appetizer: Salata de vinete is an eggplant spread with mayonnaise and spices served with tomatoes on bread.
Appetizer #2: salata de boeuf. It is a mayonnaise and mustard salad with potatoes, beef, pickles, carrots, peas. It is often served on bread or with hard-boiled eggs. It really is very good-much better than it looks and sounds!!
The Romanian delicacy: sarmale (pronounced sar-mall-ey) is sour cabbage stuffed with a mixture of rice, and minced pork and beef. It is steamed for over 24 hours and served with a smothering of sour cream. The yellow stuff in the background is called mamaliga, (one of my favorites!!)kind of a corn-bread mush often served with a pork sauce or cheese and sour cream.
And nothing better to top off a good Romanian meal than gogoşi: home-made Romanian donuts sprinkled in powdered sugar and dipped in Romanian fruit jams. Yum!! So come and visit us and we will treat you to all the good food!!
