Plăcintă (pronounced plah-CHEEN-tah) is a traditional Moldovan pastry that offers the warmth of a cozy blanket. It hails from Moldova and Romania but is enjoyed by many people across Eastern Europe. In Molodova, where whole restaurants are devoted to it, this dish must feel like a small piece of home for refugees fleeing Ukraine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Moldovans have opened their country and their homes to refugees despite living in one of the poorest countries in Europe<\/a>. Many then downplay their generosity, saying that anyone would help.<\/p>\n

This comfort food reflects Moldovan hospitality. The pie comes in varied shapes and with a number of different fillings, cheese being the most common. It’s not hard to imagine Moldovan families enjoying plăcintă with their Ukrainian neighbors. That image paints a picture of irrepressible generosity.<\/p>\n
