Oh, I do have a question for you Saphhi:
What do you eat in Romania for meals? How much does it cost to make meals in your country? What does it cost to rent or own your own home?

Well, there are traditional Romanian foods, but I personally find them disgusting. I for one like Italian food. My favorite food is pizza, my favorite desert is Tiramisu and my favorite breakfast is American pancakes. I live in a 4 person home, so we spend quite a lot of money on food (granted, things are probably cheaper over here than in the US). We spend about 500-700 Euros/month on food.
Prices for 2 bedroom appartments start from 70.000 Euros. Rent starts from 300 Euros for a 2 bedroom appartment (depends if it's furnished etc.). Houses start at 60.000 Euros, but the good ones cost over 100k.

Interesting.
How much money does your family make, if I may ask? 500-700 Euros/mo sounds like an insane amount of money for food, given what I understand average Romainian income to be. My wife and I spend maybe $250-$300 a month on food and can make pretty much any kind of food on demand.
Nice to see that you have excellent taste in food, by the way. I am sure our Italian food in America isn't perfectly authentic, but a good Tiramisu is nice.
I did take a look at some of your culinary dishes on Wikipedia... I think I maybe can understand you disliking a lot of your dishes. Your Frigărui looks pretty good, and Ardei umpluţi sounds like something my mother in law makes often which is good (she does tend to add a little bit of pasta sauce/tomato paste to it to give it a sweet kick along with the rice, ground beef, and tops it with mozarella cheese).

Well, my father has a high paying corporate job. I asked my mom how much we spend, and that's what she told me. I was kinda shocked too, but what can I say, we're big eaters (despite the fact that we're all a really skinny family).
Yes, Tiramisu is amazing. I love it. I'm pretty sure the only place you can get authentic Italian food is Italy. ![](http://www.vgchartz.com/includes/tongue.gif)
Romanian culinary dishes suck (though you're right, Frigărui are very very good, one of the only exceptions). The deserts are nice though.

Interesting.
Do you know what the prices are for food in your country? Like, how much does a 1kg bag of rice cost? What about chicken/beef/ect? 1kg of flour? It would be interesting to compare prices for basic foods.

I'll look into it and tell you tomorrow. It's super late here, and I need my beauty sleep. ![](http://www.vgchartz.com/includes/wink.gif)
