Our host was an avid fisherman and cook, so he proceeded to explain where one might find a variety of tasty fish around Romania. He’d been living in Germany a bit and had introduced his then-neighbors to several Romanian preparations of peşte. During the process, he shared several recipes about how to make various condiments and entrees. In turn, I shared my recipe for Pui Zacusca (a Romerican original) and he speculated that it might indeed make a fine meal.

I missed it before (probably before I started reading Musings), but I've updated this post to point to yours now. The recipe I <I>had</I> been pointing to was missing the eggplant and that seemed like a key point. The question before us now is: Which stores carry Andy's Homemade Zakuska? Thanks for the recipe at your site. I missed it before (probably before I started reading Musings), but I’ve updated this post to point to yours now.

Of course, my only reference had to do with blood-sucking mosquitos... which made sense in its own way. So, a popular hobo bush. Hmmm... heheh. Thanks for the add! ----- alec, but did you notice I had my garnish turned the wrong way? Sheesh all that work for nothing. At least I didn't drop the camera into the skillet... that wouldn't have been pretty. An electric bread knife? Is that just a euphemism for turkey carver? Heh. Hmmm... a bread slice machine. Sounds like an adaptation (and enlargement) of the ol' egg slicer, nem? Igen. I did buy that pan here in Romania, but I haven't seen all my neighbors sporting this new fangled doohickey just yet. I suppose I'm an early adopter. Surprisingly, it's the same brand I had back in the US! Tefal, from France. Y'all got Carrefour stores over there yonder? Shrink, thanks for the update!

Oh, and you earned yourself a spot on my humble blogroll ;) Totally unrelated to this post, but I saw that you wanter to know about the killer dog’s name – Boschet means bush and “boschetar” is a slang term for a hobo (basically because they sometimes can be found sleeping between the bushes of the parks) The dog being a stray and Bosquito being also the name of a Romanian pop band, the name was sure to catch on.
