Talking is easier over a meal. That is the simple, in this case innovative idea that lies behind ‘Romani Platni’. The people talking with one another should be Roma and non-Roma people. Delicacies from Roma cuisine stimulate the desire to become better acquainted. If we eat the home-made cooking of Roma women, our perception of the cooks changes and may even do so permanently. It is also the only opportunity to enjoy traditional Roma cuisine in Budapest. Cooking and eating together enhances the status of both sides, because degradation no longer comes quite as easily. We hope the project can expand as a business!
