Braşovence (Breaded Crepes With Mushroom Filling)

If you are lucky enough to visit Romania, I urge you to go to Braşov and indulge in these breaded crepes filled with mushrooms. Then go to the Black Church—not to confess how many crepes you’ve eaten, but to see its outstanding collection of Anatolian carpets. Invasions from Tatars and Turks and a fire in the 17th century almost destroyed the church and its nickname comes from the blackened, fire-damaged walls. Its imposing Gothic style was meant to impress people and convert them to Catholicism, but the Reformation of the Saxon communities in Transylvania turned it into a Lutheran church. In my opinion, both the church and the crepes deserve a thorough study.
