Romanians lunge for their steak knives at the sight of fleica and if you like garlic (and what Romanian doesn’t?), this steak gives you enough to ward off a legion of vampires. How convenient, for Bram Stoker based his Dracula on a medieval Romanian ruler with the sympathetic name of Vlad the Impaler. And garlic, of course, was one of the few antidotes powerful enough to ward off the undead. (You can visit the ruins of Vlad’s castle, a few hours drive from Bucharest.)
