Ghivetch

Ghivetch (Bulgarian: гювеч, [ɟuˈvɛtʃ], Romanian: ghiveci, [ɡivet͡ʃʲ], Turkish: güveç, Serbo-Croatian: đuveč / ђувеч [ˈd͡ʑǔʋɛt͡ʃ], Macedonian: ѓувеч, [ˈɟuvɛtʃ]) is a traditional Balkan autumn vegetable stew most closely associated with Moldova, where it is a national dish.

[4] Ghivetch is often made only with vegetables, sometimes as many as 40, but versions exist that include meat, fish, poultry and dairy.

[5] Traditionally the dish is assembled at home, then taken to a local bakery, and delivered to the customer by a delivery boy wearing a cushion on his head.

[2] The Washington Post in 1985 called it "one of the world's great vegetable melanges", along with Buddha's delight, ratatouille, and moussaka.

[6] Sheraton called it "really the last word in vegetable stews" and included it in her book 1000 Foods to Eat Before You Die.
