Visit a local shop to try papanași, a traditional Romanian dessert.

Order the papanași, noting a language barrier during the order process.

Receive two papanași instead of one, which is a pleasant surprise.

Taste the papanași, describing it as a light, hot, fresh donut with a hint of sourness.

Comment on the jam being full of berries and the combination of flavors being interesting.

Note that the sour cream is definitely sour, but it works well with the dessert.

Express surprise that the papanași seems fried rather than boiled as initially thought.
