Gone To Gok Oguz

 Salads and placinte look different when you go to southern Moldova.  The Gaguz people are of Turkish descent, Christian, and Russian speakers.  Their food sometimes even has spice.  The top salad is chicken; the second plate is placinte.  You can see how they look different from normal ones.  for one thing, they're puffier.  They taste good, too.  Sashlik and mamaligia are about the same.  Andreas got rice pilaf.  It looked kind of bland, but he said it was flavorful.  I had kuvarma, which is a kind of stew.  I chose chicken.  It had a bite of red pepper and was very well done.
