Romanian titbits

Two thirds of Romania is given over to agriculture.

Romania has the longest growing season in Europe.

Sweetcorn is growing tall at present, and is made into Mamaliga, like polenta and originally a staple diet for the poor, but now served in with a variety of other ingredients.

If you order lemonade, it is invariably home made, and served with a straw in a half litre carafe wrapped with a serviette.

There are no recycling bins. It feels wrong putting everything in one bin.

Scumpo/scumpa is a term of affection.


Buna noapte, (good night).
