Roma Foodways in the Carpathian Rusyn Villages

Community

Roma communities have lived in and beside Rusyn villages for centuries, often in separate settlements and under severe constraint. Where their foodways are recorded it is in ethnographic studies of particular communities. ⚠ NO GENERALISED "ROMA CUISINE" IS ASSERTED HERE: the literature is thin, much of what circulates is stereotype, and this row exists to mark a real presence rather than to characterise it.
