Cooking Moldova

Moldovan food is not remarkable in any way. Local gastronomy is saved however by the wines which give the country its good reputation. Romanian mamaliga (a sort of corn mixture similar to polenta) is available almost everywhere. It is served with many dishes, along with cottage cheese. Fried pork with a hot sauce with and an egg resting on it is the speciality of the country. You will also find Turkish kebabs and baklavas for dessert. Red, white and sparkling wines are produced all over the country and truly are a pleasant surprise for your senses. Some of the wines "à la française" were much to the taste of the Russian tsars.
