Romania

The sixth meal in my international tour was Romania's Mititei. A Sausage like dish, made with minced lamb, chicken and beef and flavoured with cumin, coriander and thyme, it's a perfect BBQ dish. It needs preparing the evening before but requires little in the way of unusual ingredients.

Whilst in Romania we explored the Bran Castle, reputed to be Vlad the Impalers castle. At the foot is a market selling a range of things, I ended up with a somewhat tacky sword.

I went snowboarding in Poiana Braşov, in Romania, its a good venue, with some nice slopes.
