one time when I was talking about a video I saw about Moldova, someone commented "I rarely see people know about my country". Moldova is on Ukraine's southwestern border (so opposite of the Russian side). It's mostly impoverished rural backwater, and its city is in decay from the soviet era.
Absolutely incredible candy comes out of moldova. Damn does that country have an amazing confectionery culture.
Anything in particular you recommend?
Full disclosure that I'm not confident on any of these names being right: in terms of candy specifically I'm really partial to Livada Moldovei, Dulcineea Pasarea, Maiastra and those little chocolate cone things I think aren't called "carmen" but that's the name written on them?
I haven't actually found any I don't like, though, for what that's worth.
