Food Glorious Food

I wanted to share some of the exciting food here in Romania.   One of the first things I fell in love with was the Covrig or Pretzel.  You get them with salt, or poppy seeds or filled with chocolate or cherry, they are fantastic!!
 



 
The next thing Elder Heninger must have is a chocolata Placinta.  It's like fried bread with warm chocolate spread over it.  Romanians also spread sweet cheese, or salty cheese on them.  They are good with mashed potatoes and onions.  They are just plain good.
 
 
Here we have a few missionaries enjoying their Placinta's


We live where they make the best bread in the world.

Check out this baby, this loaf of bread weighs 2.2 kgs. that is almost 5 lbs.  It's huge.  It is called cartof because it is made with potatoes.

They have amazing breads here !!


 
Something Elder Heninger and I both love is Swarma .  It is very similar to swarma at home with chicken and french fries and cabbage and pickles.

Soooo good !

We eat alot of pork here.

 
Christmas is a big time for roasting a pig.
 
They don't use alot of lettuce so this is what we got when we ordered a salad to share.
 
 
 
Elder Heninger had an American Hot Dog.  The first one in 2 years.
 
 
And of course we have Pizza for almost any occasion.
 
 
 
 
 Their deserts are out of this world. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Well I hope I have given you a taste of Romania today.  It's delicious !!
