Deep fried dough topped with sour cream and cherries

Vegetable puree

An assortment of Romanian pickles

Spicy roast peppers

Bucharest Christmas Market Goodness - Part 2
Various grilled meats


A fairly tough cut of beef. It's called bastirma in Romania.


The finished product. Chopped into little pieces to make it easier to chew.

Bucharest Christmas Market Goodness - Part 1
Sausage, pork fat, and cheese


Ostensibly a smoked pig surrouned by smoked meat poetry


Cabbage rolls, grilled sausage, and kefta with a tangy mustard


These smell like roasted marshamallows but are some sort of dough dipped in sugar


A variety of cakes

Possibly the World's Best Breakfast

Olives, cream, honey, eggs, tomatoes, sausage, cheese, fresh veggies, crusty bread, and tea. Only in Istanbul can you get a spread like this daily.
