Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/6/2004 7:25:02 AM   Just discovered this thread (never seem to have time to read ALL of them). One of the more surprising things about being in an Eastern European country is the amount of walking that is done. My girl wore sharp pointed shoes with stiletto heels. When I show American women pictures of these shoes they all cringe. I oncw tried to send her a pair of shoes in this style but was unable to find them at any store I looked at. Vicoria's Secret catalog had them starting ar $200 but that seemed excessive to me - so I found a nice pair on ebay. My point is that Americna women would NEVER wear shoes like this - yet it was all my girl wore. And we would take off in the morning and walk all day - shopping at the various outdoor markets. I had a hard time kkeping up with her and I was wearing regular heeled tie type shoes. (And I am also fairly athletic). In my defense - it was ususally me who ended up carrying anything we bought as we continued to walk. One day that included a queen sized comforter and sheet set - which I lugged for three hours. She though NOTHING of walking all day in these ridiculous shoes. American fat-asses drive the car if their destination is more than half a block away. Add this to the fact that Eastern Eurpoeans eat less and you can see why American women are heavier than their Eastern European counterparts. One other comment - when Ptichka refers to women over there eating "pancakes" its a good bet that she is talking about rolled blitzes (very thin and small and about three to five to a plate - filled with cream cheese or fruit), not the massive stacks of oil fried pancakes that we think of with gallons of pancake syrup. Ptichka Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/6/2004 7:37:11 AM   Jet the pancakes you descibed are cooked at home:) But on the street they sell pancakes which are twice bigger then personally I got used to, and for me 1 pancake bought on the street is enough not to feel the hunger for several house. Into these pancakes they put what you wish (like fish, mashrooms, cheese, meat, sausages and so on, bananas, chocolate, boiled condensed milk and so on), so there are a lot of calories in it. And as for fat women, they eat not only after the swimming pool but they can't walk any "Kiosk" with something tasty, ice-cream, rolls, hot-dogs, chocolate.....and so on and so forth!!! And I'm not kidding, they walk as much as the rest does, and it doesn't help anyway!!! As for walking, you're right Jet, I would better go on my feet then drive a car:) Actually have no car of my own, only my dad has:) But I would just go and do things I need, I take a bus very often because I very often have to go from one end of the city into another (Before I moved I took 4-5 such rides each day, that was exhausting, and each ride takes about 40-45 minutes). jetmba.

And nearly everything she mentions above, I saw sold by vendors as well - they looked much like buritos. You can have banana buritos or cabbage buritos (thats what they look like and kind of taste like). Just don't go lookin for any salsa. jetmba. Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/6/2004 7:58:31 AM   Any of the other fillings she mentioned above as buritos as well. Ptichka Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/6/2004 8:01:05 AM   OK I believe your word:)) Just kidding:)But of course I rely on your word, as I never tasted buritos or tortillas. I just wanted to tell that no matter how to name them, the idea won't change at all:) I find it rather hard to cope with even 1, because it's a very filling thing. :)) And many fat women eat 3-5 of them...either they have a huge appetite or they just can't stop themselves;) jetmba.

One place in particular in Chisinau - the big hotel Cordu has a very fancy restaurant attached to it and one of the offerings was "Fajitas" (Fahitas) in beef or chicken. I couldn't resist ordering it - telling my girl that in the US I would be presented with a flaming plate of beef - then tortillas, salsa, sour cream, guacamole sauce, etc - would be brought out and you make your fahitas at the table. I expected, here to get just something wrapped like a burrito. I was pleasantly suprised when they brought out a large plate of beef and doused it with some sort of spirits (vodka?) and it truly did flame. It was set at the table and my girl ooohed and aaahed. And then.... nothing. That was it. I asked about the tortillas or the other fixings - they seemed confused and befuddled. Fahitas in Moldova are flaming meat pieces and that's it. Ptichka Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/6/2004 8:15:45 AM   The pour meat or even ice-cream with some very little pure spirt, and it burns out without hurting the dish and without leaving any water as vodka would leave water. Ptichka Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/6/2004 8:16:15 AM   with some very little amout of pure spirt, missed the word amount, sorry:) TimH Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/6/2004 4:42:35 PM   Just be sure you blow it out, before you put one in your mouth ;o)) TimH Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/6/2004 4:44:43 PM   The spirit is likely to have been Cognac, which will burn totally away and leave no water :o)) Also it leaves a nice flavour. (X Chef talking here :o)) ) Ptichka Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/6/2004 4:45:50 PM   But the fire burns out very fast:)) At "Egoist" bar they do pour spirt on the bar counter, and it burns for a couple minutes...just imagine, burning counter in complete darkness (the lighs are faded away for that time), it's such a beautiful picture, people go there just to see it:) Actually not another single bar in Lugansk does that:) Only "Egoist":)) scottlf Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/6/2004 5:17:10 PM   Not all that related, but some Japanese Hibachi restuarants around hear do something similar (it's really teppanyaki, by the way). They take an onion and cut it into slices. Using the ring sections, they make an inverted cone. They then fill it with some type of alchoholic liquid with an oil base. They light the top of the cone and then slide the onion across the grill. This immediately heats up the alchohol to boiling which goes up the cone as steam and immediately ignites. It kind of resembles a volcano, which is the point. Pretty impressive the first time you see it. Ptichka Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/6/2004 5:19:33 PM   About volcanoes:) I once tried an ice-cream with such a name, there on the top was a slice of orange filled with spirt and it was burning when the waitor brought it:)) It was really great both in taste and in performance:) scottlf Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/6/2004 5:29:20 PM   Wow! I bet that would taste good. I can't say my experiences with deserts have been than extravagent. Decadent, yes! Extravagent, no. Mmmmmmmmm, BLACK BOTTOM PECAN PIE......<excessive drooling begins> Ptichka Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/6/2004 5:31:35 PM   Yes that ice-cream had an awsome taste:))) I just enjoy to try new kinds of deserts, and I know where the best deserts can be tried and best coctails:) At least I find them the best in taste:)) scottlf Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/6/2004 5:33:24 PM   Any specific place? Ptichka Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/6/2004 5:36:10 PM   In Lugansk the best coctails (either alcoholic or non-alcoholic) in Lugansk can be found in the bar "Inter" IMHO. "Egoist" good ice-cream and some good coctails, but you need to try them, as I didn't have many coctails there. 333 a great ice-cream with fruits, the best I had. They put friend coffee-beans cut into pieces there and the taste is really good:)) scottlf Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/6/2004 5:38:35 PM   I don't know if I will ever make it that way, but perhaps others here will. Thanks for sharing! Ptichka Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/6/2004 5:44:19 PM   You're welcome!!:) For those who may come to Lugansk, 333 it's a name of the bar, just saw that I missed the explanation of that:) scottlf Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/6/2004 5:49:22 PM   How fitting we talk about deserts in this particular discussion!
