I have always believed that eating out is an experience. It's not just about the food but also the atmosphere and the companionship. N8cely done Romania and the crew that made this experience happen! Romania, here I come!!
I could eat mici in the morning, noon and evening. The girl knows stuff :)) Romanian language is pretty much spoken as written and is similar to Italian. When you pronounce "ceviche" the "che" in the end is spoken exactly the same in "ceaun" ("la ceaun" means "at the cauldron" because traditionally this is the best way of cooking delicious meals, in a cauldron). A portion of papanshi should contain two "doughnuts". I am glad you had a delicious experience visiting my homeland.
We spent 3 weeks in Sibiu a few years ago and Crama Sibiul Vechi was our favorite restaurant. We ended up going 3 times! Transylvania is a beautiful region to visit.
kONTIKI is my favourite restaurant and also Hotel. Upstairs there are rooms, very very clean and cosy. Tripe soup is absolutly delicious! Many thinks it's the best in the country. It's a restaurant where u see millionaires and also construction workers eating alltogether. U cant see things like this in America, only in Asia. P.S. - the best sarmale are made in home, not at restaurant.
The polenta that you had at Crama Sibiul Vechi is not actually bulz, but “Mamaliga cu branza si smantana” (polenta with cheese and sour cream). Bulz is a bit different in the sense that it is roasted in the oven. Mamaliga cu branza si smantana it is not roasted .
The cheese on the mămăligă (polenta) was aged sheep cheese, usually stored in a wood barrel (for 6 months or more), pressed (with a weight) and kept in a cold place. It is very strong and should be mixed with water buffalo or cow fresh cheese to not be too strong. You will be thirsty for the rest of the day if you eat it too much
To any tourists visiting any country in this world, follow where locals go, not the tourist traps. Just ask. In E.U. almost all menus(and products)are in local and english.
Next time, when you visit Roumania, try littles (micii) with some little salt. Much better than with mustard. Cheers. Oh, wait, and must try "ciorba radauteana".
Oh you can recreate papanasi in 🇺🇸...problem is our sour cream and jams...and supermarkets aren't the place for it...they are tasteless or too much sugar..don't give up until you try it also make sure your sour cream is full fat for flavor..gl!
@@aronanderika for the ingredients try shopping at some European market in the US like Lidle or Aldi. Look if it`s made in any EU country. You then should be good with the taste. The rest you`ll have to figure out :)
Try to say MAMALIGA intead " polenta"- that is name in Spain. In Romania is MAMALIGA and this name is apropriate in our country. And, intead , "cabbage rolls" the real name and, also, much simple is SARMA(1) - SARMALE = 2 or more. PAPANAȘI(papanashi, is pronounce) are make with daugh mix with cottage cheese.
''Romanian food is really good'' says the layman at the end of this video who's never had REAL food in his life...And Im just sitting here in London at a KFC thinking...American franchise food is really...Well, lets not tolk about that... But your amazing daughter sir, when she'll grow up, if a dude will want to date her, I bet all he has to do is take her out for some Romanian ''MICI''...Talk about a future Romanian son-in-law...🤣🤣🤣. God bless you and your beautiful familly and hope you enjoyied your stay!
As I watch this video, it reminds me how much I miss Romania after only one trip there. I can't wait to go back!
We already miss the food and it's only been a week. We can only imagine how you might feel!
The little girl is so sweet! You are a beautiful family! ❤ Love from Romania!
Thank you so much! We absolutely love your beautiful country and are grateful for the warm welcome from everyone we've met.

Papanas ❤ Love from Serbia
I appreciate you for visiting my country and loving the food. Much love and God protect your travel!
Thank you for having us! We already miss everything about it and will have to make another trip back, since there's so much to explore!
4:10 That's the dish called sarmale & mamaliga (polenta), and it's the most traditional Romanian menu, very tasty indeed.
We spent 3 weeks in Sibiu a few years ago and Crama Sibiul Vechi was our favorite restaurant. We ended up going 3 times! Transylvania is a beautiful region to visit.

Yes indeed. Nice rooms.
Tripe soup,Best in the world.
The polenta that you had at Crama Sibiul Vechi is not actually bulz, but “Mamaliga cu branza si smantana” (polenta with cheese and sour cream). Bulz is a bit different in the sense that it is roasted in the oven. Mamaliga cu branza si smantana it is not roasted .
Thank you so much for the information! We'll be on the lookout for actual Bulz.
@@aronanderika The real bulz is not bake on the oven .Is made on jar on fire:) All that smoke from wood jar gives a very good flavor:)
The cheese on the mămăligă (polenta) was aged sheep cheese, usually stored in a wood barrel (for 6 months or more), pressed (with a weight) and kept in a cold place.

There’s no butter in soups. We don’t do that. It was probably a bit fatty from the meat
KonTiki is the Holly Grail of tripe soup. Best in the world.
Wellcome to Romania!
Thank you! Everyone has been so kind, and we absolutely love Romania

La Ceaun has the best pork ribs I have eaten in my life, i always eat them when I go there
Hi. Crama means " wine cellar " , vechi means old. Wine cellar old Sibiu !!😅😅 Yes, it's the best restaurant from Sibiu. 🎉❤ Cristian
You had to try "ciorbă se burtă"(tripe soup)!😊
amazing food!

You've given us hope! We won't give up!

Nice trip love Mici in Sibiu
In general,we(i) when eat mici,we mix with breed and mustard,like sarmale with polenta,because food have better taste.
"Cramă" in Romanian means "wine cellar", while a regular cellar is called "beci" or "pivnița"
La ceaun = at the cauldron, la mahala = in the slum
❤❤❤
😂😂 The pronunciation is " Papanashy ", y is a short "i". Enjoy your food !!😂🎉❤ Cristian
i love this video!!!!!!!!! Food!!!!!!!!
Food is the best and we fell in l9ve with Romania food. Hopefully, we can recreate some!
@@aronanderika romanian women are also my favorite european women as well
@@nike7 why? :)
Menu: Peasant food
Reality: Eat like a King.
👍
Hi friends thanks for visiting come again
Polenta is an Italian dish and has a different recipe than mamaliga, even if it looks similar.
We eat altmost everithing with breed or polenta. Give a better taste.
Try to say MAMALIGA intead " polenta"- that is name in Spain. In Romania is MAMALIGA and this name is apropriate in our country. And, intead , "cabbage rolls" the real name and, also, much simple is SARMA(1) - SARMALE = 2 or more.
PAPANAȘI(papanashi, is pronounce) are make with daugh mix with cottage cheese.
Sa o invete cineva pe Erika cum se tine furculita!
With papanashi, do not pronounce the final i.. just say Papa-nash…. The dessert from the gods
Thank you for the tip! We couldn't agree more with your statement.
ronanians: Sibiu. Them : Sibú🤣.
