Bucharest BBQ

Romanians, it seems, love meat. I was told the redder the better, and that chicken is considered by some as 'vegetarian' food. This blip from the Saturday night street market in Bucharest.

A few local favorites (warning: vegetarians please look away):

Sângerete – 'an emulsified sausage obtained from a mixture of pig's blood with fat and meat, breadcrumbs or other grains, and spices'

Tobă – 'based on pig's feet, ears and meat from the head suspended in aspic and stuffed in pig's stomach'

Tochitură – 'pan-fried cubed pork served with mămăligă and wine ("so that the pork can swim")'
