I also remember that on the main square there was an alley that lead to the Reformed high-school [present-day Bolyai Farkas high-school]. This alley doesn’t exist anymore. At the weekly market the women who made fries used to stand at the main market side of this alley. They made roast sausages, Torda roast etc., and they also gave you delicious bread and cucumbers along with them. I was once at that market with my mother and I asked her to buy me some roast sausages. She did, and I got a slice of very delicious home-made bread and a cucumber, too. I don’t know whether the cucumber was leavened or watered. Obviously, the sausage wasn’t kosher, but my mother didn’t tell me I wasn’t allowed to eat it, she bought it for me without more ado. From this point of view, my parents disobeyed the religious laws.
