Cindy my friend from college, who happens to be Julian's cousin, heard about this Romanian place from her students. They said the food is just like their grandmothers make and that the disco starts at 9:30 or so. Woo hoo. We got there and the place was packed with a baptism party but they let us in anyway.We started with Transylvanian wine "Vampire Red" no joke. It was terrible. The beer was better. Unfortunately I misplaced the menu of what we had so I will wing it. The waitress was so sweet. She seemed truly surpised that we wanted to try the authenic Romanian food.
Tripe soup and roasted eggplant dip. The soup was OK but tripe is not my thing. The eggplant presentation is interesting no? It tasted pretty much like what I make when I make it at home.
Romanian skirt steak smothered in onions and mashed potoates. Julia said it was very good. Not dry at all.
John's brains and fries. He said they were OK but couldn't eat them all. The taste was good but the texture was weird.
Sausages and something?
Sausages and white bean puree. The beans were so tasty. I think these cultures make everything so simple and so yummy by using butter etc.
This dish was basically mushroom stroganoff served with polenta and topped with three huge scoops of sour cream. It was so rich.
Stuffed cabbage leaves and not sure what else.
Desserts yummm! There was vanilla cream inside puffy dough layers. It was so fluffy and laced with lemon. The cake ball was filled with cream and topped with raspberry sauce. The kids inhaled them. We barely got a taste.
