Hi! The cakes looked delicious and made me hungry. Unfortunately, I have to have some blood work and can’t eat for a few more hours. I always enjoy reading your blog. Best wishes!

Hmm, cool details. I’ll have to learn more about that for when barbecue time rolls along because clearly there are some universal basics at play. But, you can see why I’d laugh at the idea of smoked ceva in a smoker fire without wood!

lemne rasinoase means wood from coniferous trees.
There are two different schools of smoking: one with cold smoke, from sawdust, an another with hot smoke, from pieces of burning wood.
In the first case, the smoke house is something like a barrel? well closed.
In the second way, the smoking process “e pe vatra” (hearth?)- open fire, and cirnatii are hanged above.
For the second school of smoking aforementioned, the resin? from such coniferous wood is a blasphemy!

Denisa – You ever heard of pork soda? Imagine the possibilities.

Paul – I should comment on pate sometime. It’s definitely a hidden standard of the Romanian diet and I have no idea why. It’s sold in dog food tins, looks like dog food, smells like dog food, costs less than dog food…

You have my deepest sympathy and utter dismay that one would find himself so hungry as to eat crackers and liver pate. It’s unsufferable, I say! Clearly, you must have received this inhumane treatment under Ceausescu (or his PSD legacy, at least).

mutz – I’m going to have ask around and see if I understood correctly “afumati la afumatoare la foc fara lemne” because that make me howl with laughter.

Romerican – no mustard
Denisa + other interested: (As seen on TV) Mustard icecream is used in that fusion cuisine. THAT is extreme.

Strudel, you are always welcome. By the way…what kind of are you? Apple? Blueberry? Pumpkin? Damn I miss home and “cofetaria” across the street and my mother’s cakes, the subway system, thiefs on tramcar no.21 and other small things that seemed non important but now they are so far.

Talking about “edge” cuisine, coming back from “Piatra Craiului” Mountains, only left sweet crakers and “pate de ficat” (fois gras in french, I dont know in english, sorry) – lot’s of cans. I couldn’t eat “pate” for one year after that.

Mutz – Fusion gourmet cuisine? I’d call it extreme cuisine, but if you’ve tried it and it’s OK, enjoy! I am not that brave;)
…Although I have to admit I like to eat cartofi prăjiţi cu… struguri sau portocale.

Romer!can – Don’t you know what they say here… that the best vegetable is PORK? Just kidding, good for you, it’s not healthy.
