Food, Yum! (Extra Credit Post)

Everyone likes food, some more than other including myself.

Although Moldova does not necessarily have all the "healthy food" available they have a rich cuisine. But everyone can have a cheat day.

Pelmeni
Moldova has a lot of Russian influnces in the food they made, pickled fruits and vegetables are an example. 

A popular dish that Moldova has adopted from Russian is pelmeni, a Russian-style ravioli that has (stuffed meat).

Sorpa
Not only does the cuisine have Russian influnces, it also has some Turkic spice to it. One of the most delicious meals you can find is the Gagauz sorpa, which is a spicy ram soup. 

A lot of the cultures food does constant of meat, making it hard for fellow vegetarians to have limited meals. Most of the fruits and vegetables are locally grown which might make them taste a little better. 

Other than food, Moldova producing some great wines and brandies. Red wines are called negru, white wines are called vin alb. 

If you want to experience a new type of cuisine, Moldova is definitely the place for you!
