Hi Alison, nothing about food in Czernowitz, however, you're Grandmother's
journey fascinated me. You see, it sort of mirrored my own. I was born
in the Czernowitz Ghetto in 1941, from there we somehow wound up in Berlad,
then to Bucharest, and finally to Vienna in the US occupied zone, via
Budapest. We crossed from Bremer Haven to the US in 1950 and eventually wound up
in NY as well. We currently reside in Rockland County. Yours was the very
first mention I have seen in the group of Barlad, so I was compelled to
share my story with you. But, not to let this e-mail on food go to waste, my
favorite food as a child was Mamaliga mit Schmetten, loosely translated,
corn dough with sour cream.
Be well,
Phil Katz
When I first joined the list there was a lot of dialogue about food..which
as the granddaughter of a Czernowitzer who carried her heritage with her in
food (among other things) from Berlad to Czernowitz to Vienna and then on
across Europe to NY, I greatly enjoyed. It resulted in the Bukowina
Cookbook
Project which can be found on the list website -- an on p. 31-32 is Merle
Kastner's recipe for mailai - which she describes as 'Romanian
Johnnycake'! http://czernowitz.ehpes.com/
