I’m talking about the countries in the Balkan region. I know that in Bulgaria, they eat lots of yogurt. I know about Greek food and all the vineyards in The Balkans. What else do they consume besides wine, yogurt, and grape leaves? Are there any notorious dishes in Romania, Bulgaria, or any of the rest of the countries in that region?

A couple decides to renew their wedding vow and invites close family and friends to attend. The couple wants to have a small dinner afterward. Originally, the couple was going to host the dinner at their house. A small dinner where they would provide a baked ham and cake. Family and friends would bring a covered dish. Then a relative of the couple offers to host the reception/dinner afterward at her new house so everyone can see it. The couple and hostess then begin to ask all those attending to supply all the food and beverages for the reception. Asking one person to bring a tiered wedding cake. Asking others to bring at least 3 different dishes each and bottles of wine and Champagne. Just wondering the proper etiquette regarding this. Several of the family and friends are kind of put out with it. Thinking it rather odd the way it was handled.

The burgundy blended with the apricot lace that covered a satin clad mannequin;
having shared too much wine beneath exit sign, the security guard began to dance
with the tapered-toe doll that he stole from the mall, saving the poor thing from fall fashion-
her being labeled a ‘Spring’ by the girl who knew such things, as she worked in Cosmetics.

Her stiffened submission to his indiscretions left the poor pseudo-lawman breathless,
he laid her to rest with his hand on her breast; his fingers flicked to elicit response.
He imagined her supple, heard her whispers of surrender, thus he rendered his lusts
on her willing plasticity, aware it was figuratively configured phantasy undiscussed.

He left her at home and smiled as he kissed her, told her not to bother with the dishes.
She must never fall to ruin like the ones made of flesh did, eventually he had to bury those bones.
The mound in the sand at the edge of his plot would never need to be her bedchamber,
as it was to several once more animate sisters that he offered his love and burgundy wine.

The stain on her clothes, which were piled on the floor, resembled a bouquet caught by bridesmaid.
His mall issue securty vehicle was decked out with bows, bells and the legend, ‘JUST MARRIED’

Hullo veg*ns!
I’m going to host a wine tasting party in a couple of weeks and I need some ideas for what to serve. My friends are actually going to bring their fave wines, so I won’t know specifically what types of reds or whites they’re bringing. I just need some munchy/finger food ideas that pair well with each broad category.
I’m keeping it all vegan, so what could I offer (besides fruit and hummus with crackers - lol)?
Thanks for the input and have a fabulous, cruelty-free day!

BTW: I’m pretty well-versed in the kitchen, so I want to make quite a few of the dishes as opposed to buying them.

I am thinking of buying a wine rack and the only place it will fit in my kitchen is right above my kitchen sink. There is a lot of room in this space, and already includes a built in wine rack. So, can I hang a wine glass rack here? Will the glass get spotty etc., when I do my dishes if hung there?

We are a small restaurant in Romania, that provide food for the occasional weddings and graduation parties. For now we have the following menu of dishes:

- hommis (veg.): cooked cickpeas blended with seasame puree, spices and lemon juice
- tuna steak
- lamb chops
- fresh cat stew
- Chicken kabab

As for drinks, we serve wine and beer.

We wish to expand and diversify our offer, so please offer your advice of what else we can prepare for people’s delight - you can just say what’s more popular in your region and I will make up a list. Thank you.
I was just asking on advice of how to improve our service. If you don’t like our current menus, or if the restaurats in your county don’t consume cats - that’s fine. Just take it easy on me.
Chicken kabab and tuna steak are being the most popular so far - but people like cat stew too. We just deliver the food - so people already have them on the table when they arrive and they can choose whatever they like. I got the cat recepy from a Chinese chief and adjusted some ingredients to fit our limited buged. That is not our main course, so just about 20 pounds a week are being prepared. We had no serious complaints so far, but we’ve kinda run out of ideas.

I am creating a wine bar/restaurant concept and I have some ideas but I wanted to know what things I can add or do to differentiate it with other places.
The bar is mainly focus on offering a wide variety of wine (good quality) with some dishes complementing the different wines offered. Its going to try have a wine cellar ambience and stuff.
Thanks

Hi all - I’m in the Texas Hill Country and I’m having an Italian inspired dinner. Lasagne, Garlic shrimp and Baked Rigatoni on the menu. What is a good red wine? white wine? - that is available around here? Maybe HEB or Western Beverages might carry. I won’t actually have many wine drinkers, but I still want to have some available for those who can appreciate. Thanks!
First off - I’m not Italian… so I’m doing my best wing it. No offense meant to true Italians. It will be buffet style, so I need dishes that I can do ahead on my own. Appreciate the input for both red & white.
