On August 27, Moldova celebrates 27 years of sovereignty. Today’s Doodle depicts the Moldovan flag, waving proudly above the country’s hills, a defining feature of its landscape. The country has a 600-year-long history of authority by Ottoman emperors, Russian tsars, Romanian kings and Soviet officials. So independence, when it arrived following the peaceful separation from the Soviet Union in 1991, was cause for celebration.
Moldovans celebrate with food and wine—vineyards being one of the country’s major tourist attractions and wine, one of its biggest exports.
Throughout the country, families and neighbors gather to enjoy the holiday with feasts. Traditional foods, such as chorba soup, often made with lamb, and zama, a chicken and vegetable soup whipped with egg and topped with a spoonful of sour cream, are often served. There are warm braided breads, grilled meats, plates heaped high with summer’s vegetables, and for dessert a profusion of fresh fruits and cakes. The evening winds down as old stories are told, and Moldova’s independence is toasted and savored anew.
Happy Independence Day Moldova!
