We had a Transylvanian restaurant near us for a while. As an
amuse-bouche they had a very garlicky mushroom paste/dip.
We always theorized the garlic kept the vampires away.

This particular restaurant did a very nice, simple chicken noodle
soup. Nothing particular Transylvanian about it, as far as I can
tell, but it was absolutely delicious.
