Romania

It was lovely to have the Hosegood family over for dinner last night, especially as it gave us a good excuse to cook a big roast pork. We found a recipe called Pulpa de porc la tava from Romain, which is simply salted roast pork. We accompanied it with Salata de fasole verde (green bean salad) and Cartofi prajiiti pai (roasted chip potatoes). It was a great meal, and went deliciously with a nice Montana Chardonnay (thanks Vicki!) We followed it up with an type of bread pudding, layered with apple slices and sultanas called Budinca de mere. Not from Romania, but a very nice accompaniment, were strawberries and chocolate sauce. All in all a very good meal.
