Food from Transylvania ?

Food in Transylvania , Rumania

I had to wait for 2 hours for my friend El Joaco to arrive to the Targu Mures airport. So I wandered around the airport , which is only corn fields. I ran into this guy that claimed that he had stolen some  infrared binoculars from a US army cargo …and I think he can be saying the truth because I saw a US army plane leaving the airport when I was arriving. 

Anyways , we used his super high tech binoculars to look at the chickens and at some corn … hahaha

In a wall near there he had written "cafe" hahha but that was a joke because he had only beer. So I had one with him and his friend had a cup strong alcohol (it was not even noon) .  and we discussed things about my origins and I was holding an article on human cooperation on which he had a lot of things to say… unfortunately I can just understand some oral rumanian. Although the written one is pretty clear. 

So I was really looking for food and not for beer. So I found this kiosk and asked for a hotdog which was the specialty and only dish in the kiosk. the only kiosk in kilometers…. and when the lady asked me 2 or 3 ? I said 3! I like number 3 more… but never thought she meant what she meant…...

In the mountains, we stayed with  Iosef , an eco loco revolutionary with thousands of stories ( e.g. he was deported from Belice in first class) . We went with him to take the cows out for a walk and pick some mushrooms since there aren't any stores up in the mountains ….. we where really motivated to find them …. or else… we would have to eat chess games.

We found some ! and his mom made some farmers polenta with real corn …. and it was amazing.


Just cut the mushrooms from the forest and the chili from the garden in small pieces and fry them with oil till they shrink and become crunchy. For the polenta I'm not sure because the woman didn't wanted us in her kitchen haha but I think Is just boiling corn fluor with some water and salt till all the water is lost and the texture is perfect.

Iosef is trying to persuade all his village to quit using pesticides and try to be self sufficient in every way. He makes the best cheese ever without even adding a chemical coagulant. and marmalades , liquors and other bio stuff. and he is trying to implement some energy systems and passive heating systems and eventually teach this to the community. 

So this was breakfast in the mountains.. milk from the cows… but we melted a portion of a chocolate bar we had. and the rest is story. scrambled eggs with chili and salami is what we had at hand. 

The cheese is smoked with pine wood and is just perfect. 

Cabbage soup with pork ribs… Amazing juice. We wanted to cry out of the greatness.

This is the Cluj style cabbage… also made Joaquín cry. is a cabbage full of surprises. like some chorizo and stuff like that.  eating and crying out of emotion is normal in cluj 

Beans soup with cream , chili and smoked ham. 

Anyways. This a glimpse of Transylvania food. with poor textual descriptions because It doesn't even matter If i write a poem about every meal.. you still have to go  ! I will go back.
