Our diet, like that of our Balkan neighbors, absorbed many Middle Eastern elements during the five centuries of Turkish rule of the Balkan Peninsula. But nevertheless, Vlach cuisine retains several distinctions.
(Pita is perhaps the prime example. Those in America who are acquainted with it have probably eaten spanakopita (spinach pita), often made with prefabricated dough. Vlach purists prefer to roll out the layers of dough by hand and add an almost endless variety of stuffings – in addition to pita di spinak (spinach), there is pita di prash (leeks), pita di lapti (milk), pita di ordzuts (nettles), pita di curcubeta (squash), pita di ouaua (eggs), pita di tseapi (onions), and on and on.)
