Another view on Romanian food
Regarding "A Secret: The Food Is Great," by Anne-Marie O'Connor, Aug. 16: I get where she is coming from. Everybody knows that food in America is very bad, and we understand you are searching for alternatives.
But after America, Romania has the worst food. The ingredients are low-quality, because Romanians neglected their agriculture heritage in the wake of the death of communism. Fresh ingredients aren't valued. Even in a supermarket, the supply of fresh food is not always guaranteed.
In Romania, you can eat in your hotel or at a Greek restaurant or try American fast food.
