BUCĂTĂRIA EVREIASCĂ + FACTOR DE CIVILITATE ÎN BUCĂTĂRIILE ROMÂNEŞTI
THE JEWISH CUISINE - CIVILITY FACTOR IN THE ROMANIAN KITCHENS

Summary/Abstract: Can kitchen play a role in inter-human relations? Kitchen creates and sustains almost stereotypically in the Romanian household the identity feeling of native-ness. Nevertheless, like it or not, very few dishes can be identified as "native". On the other hand, however, kitchen has truly achieved what generations of politicians did not manage to achieve, assuming that they ever really pursued such a goal: integration beyond ethnic self-limitations. Food and the feeding manner have become a paramount, if not absolute, moderating factor. As long as we eat to live, the "belly space" will be, in fact, a mental one, and the "garden of pleasures" will find its reality and scope through the tasting buds. WARNING! This paper may produce unpleasant states to those stomach that are yet unripe - i.e. green - and it is therefore advisable that it should be read with noderation by those who are still at the age of spiritual immaturity.
