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).
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
