Time to Eat
But what? Not to worry.
1. Staples
Cornmeal. Food is excellent in Romania; hearty, with a great deal of cornmeal, as in mamaliga, a cornmeal mush (like polenta, formed and unformed) with or without other vegetables, cheeses. See http://www.food.com/recipe/mamaliga-cu-branza-cornmeal-mush-with-cheese-122683
See also cornmeal porridges (that that mamaglia, served like a mellow and rich polenta), soups -- especially ciorba, a sour soup. Recipe at http://www.natashascafe.com/html/ciorba.html
Hearty. It is not a spicy cuisine. See overview at http://www.romaniatourism.com/foodwine.
2. Root vegetables, regular barnyard meats.
Overall, think home cooking. Root vegetables and potatoes, cabbage dishes, chicken and lamb and beef stews, sausages, cutlets,
Breads are whiter than we expected, but there is plenty of it.
