So I just had a breakfast that should go down in the history books for me as the strangest one ever. I walk and the sweet lady who makes most of my meals greets me and talk a little in what very little broken english she knows and what little Romanian I know and she tells me it will just a minute til breakfast i say ok. I she her back there as always getting bread out(literally served with every meal) and then i see her slice up some salam and cheese, so i was think awesome meat cheese and bread, its actually one of my favorite breakfasts here. Well then i see her go to the sink and wash something then cut it up, i couldnt really tell what it was. Then she pulls out a can of potted meat and scoops a huge scope of it on my plate... at this point im getting confused. She hands me my food and its Salam, a soft cheese(im not sure what kind it is but it spreads like butter), bread, potted meat, and cut up radishes. So at this point i think I know i have never had radishes before that i could recall that i really liked and the potted meat looked more like refried beans, but if you know me then you know my mentality to food, try everything once and then try it a second time to make sure the first bite wasn't a bad one. Now I will say i wasn't as apprehensive as when i was served boiled liver and creamed spinach by different people here previously, but I still was a little surprised by the presentation. So I stuck with my ways and tried everything on a piece of like a mini-sandwhich and it all tasted good together so i thought now i have to try it all separately, which i already new i was ok with the salam and cheese, the radishes tasted like really fresh water chesnuts, and i like those so i was ok with them. then all that was left was the potted meat staring me in the face, to my surprise it actually tasted and had the consistency of refried beans with out the beans.. so i ate my breakfast i normally would thanked Bueni(the lady who cooks for me) and now im writing about it.
Keep it Classy and Safe,
David
