i'm so proud of you !!! next time put the cream in the soup. and bite on the pepper... but you did good :)
some years ago Sibiu was the cultural capital of the EU and they invested a lot in developing the culture and activities in and around the city. They did a good job of keeping all that going. i'm just commenting along the vid :)
You guys look pretty young... I'm curious, where do you get the money to travel the world from?
Omg this is so funny for me as a roumanian to see you tasting and trying to pronounce all the names . Love you guys!
The Endless Adventure super ..
I read some of the comments below, and I must inform You, as Romanian, that those food are not so heavy. Think it this way, most of the dishes they ordered, are "winter food". In Romania winter can be harsh, with temperatures below minus 30 ' Celsius. You need a lot of protein to survive such a day as an active person. Those are old and traditional food recipes, consumed by people like my grandfather who was a very active man. Try to imagine taking care of a farm and its animals during winter month, without modern technology, all the work was done by hand, feeding the animals, cleaning after them, in some regions of Romania even guarding them against wild life, we have more Wolves and brown bears then the rest of Western Europe combined. You can not do that without proper food.
Each season has some preponderant types of food, for example during spring we eat a lot of fresh salads, fish, lamb ( lamb, strawberries, cherries season in Romania). In summer we eat a lot of vegetable soups, salads, fruits(water melon season for natural hydration) the the temperature can reach plus 40 " Celsius in the shade, so if You eat those winter dishes, You can just die of a heart attack.
To understand the Romanian food You must understand the climate of Central Europe, a temperate Continental type, with huge variation in temperature between seasons. You just can not survive the winters with summer food or other wise.
Gabi Craioveanu f bine explicat gabi. Bravo
Perfectly explained.
Its heavily for people that eat grass like a rabbit lol. I eat the soup sarmale and tocanita 😁😁😁
Vasile Costin I challenge you to look up vegan dishes on youtube, you’d be surprised. There is such a variety or vegetarian and vegan dishes, no one eats “grass”
Gabi your comment makes me feel uncomfortable and its obsly not true cuz u can easily survive without eating disgusting stuff like meat even tho u have to take care of your animals or whatever you said lmao
btw Casiana u r right
as a romanian, and a person who spends a lot of their time on the internet, You guys are some of the only americans who aren't a**holes about other cultures, this video definitely made me subscribe.
Foarte bine spus. :))
Yes they are so out of it! Acești oameni sunt proști - deschide-ti ochii!
you should watch MARK WIENS's Romanian tour, you will be truly AMAZED, is is a MUST WATCH, nothing to do with this cheap, boring video..

Seems little unfair to judge most Americans from UA-cam etc
Man, Hungary, Romania and Croatia REALLY know how to make their soups. So yummy
That's the reason why we always have soup as main dish. THEY'RE DELICIOUS
My favourite is Soup with chicken a la Grec (I don't know the name in English) and perişoare soup
Elena Whoweiss Ciorba de perişoare 😂😂 fun little story perişoare sounds a lot like verişoare (cousins). And you better know that our grandma used to get a kick out of making ciorba de perişoare for me and my cousin whenever we went over.
the best one !
U don't dare to call them soups, our ciorbă is a million kilometers away from that...
Ciorba de burta
I was blessed to spend 5 months in Romania 2 years ago. I loved the food. From Kraiova to Brasov to Hunadaora.
Guys, i'm romanian... your description of food are really good and on point.. also your choises of food were really good and representative of romanian food! Good job!!! :)
Thanks a ton. It really means a lot to hear that!
Agreed

I like Romanian food love from Tokyo japan
Kevin Dauglas omg i'm so jelous of you right now i'm romanian and i've dreamed to go to japan, i'm currenty learning japanese basic words so when i have enough money i can go there and not make a fool of myself 😂😂 also is it beautiful there is it?
Yes, Japan is beautiful, too!
Kevin Dauglas There are a couple of Romanian restaurants in Tokyo, I've lived there for a short time and felt a terrible need to eat some food from home. They are quite good, but you have to make a reservation so they will know to prepare fresh food (because many ingredients can't be found in Japan so they need to be frozen).
@@catlover3087 Found the weeb
I want go to Tokyo eating sushi and driving a great Toyota. I joke. You are a very strong economical country. Greetings
Guys,pomana porcului literary means: pork s mourning ceremony!..it s realy exactly what people eat after pigs are ceremonialy slaughtered right before Christmas
si nu e nici pe departe ce au primit ei in acel restaurant .....
@@otilialefey8514 tochitura este absolut moldovenesca ! Nu are nimic unguresc .....
THE SAME IN PORTUGAL
I was about to write that, feast is not the right translation for "pomana". The word pomana means charity and it's coming from a Romanian tradition of serving free food to the people who attended a funeral, as a respect paid to the deceased. In this case as a "respect" paid to the pig 😅
Usually pomana porcului IS a feast, but not in a restaurant lol. You should try an accommodation in Maramureș, especially during winter, they serve the most authentic home made Romanian foods. Their pomana porcului is a feast indeed.

Hey, guys. First of all, welcome to Romania. Glad to see you're so interested in our culture and cuisine. And boy do you have so much to learn and taste.... I know it's too late now, but a local guide/friend would have been really practical to show you around and explain some of the stuff, like how to eat the tripe soup. I personally don't like the recipe and have never tried it, but I know it's supposed to be eaten with lots of sour cream (the recipe already contains it but some people like more of it), bread, and a jalapeno (because we're a spicy-loving nation). They all have a very precise purpose in creating the final taste experience. The sour cream mellows the garlic taste and the spicyness of the jalapeno, while the latter two mellow the taste of the tripe, which as you have pointed out, has a bitter aftertaste.
Also, the cabbage in the sarmale should not be crunchy. That means that either the cabbage was not boiled enough or (more likely) that the leaves of the cabbage were too old when they were pickled and the fibers were too hard. Pickled cabbage should be soft and when used as an ingredient it should be even softer because it is also boiled in addition to being pickled. Sorry you couldn't taste proper sarmale. It would have knocked your socks off. Usually the best sarmale are made in a different province of Romania, Moldavia (not to be confused with the neighboring Republic of Moldova), particularly in the north part of Moldavia, also known as Bukovina. There you can find amazing painted medieval monasteries and a DOZEN different recipes for sarmale, ranging from vine leaf to pickled cabbage, from meat to mushrooms and carrots etc. I avoid the term sauerkraut because that describes a specific recipe made from pickled cabbage. The ingredient used in sarmale is pickled cabbage, which is fermented in salty broth.
Yeah, that pork feast (pomana porcului) was not the best it could have been. That's usually what you get with tourist-oriented restaurants in the city center, which tend to offer watered-down versions of the traditional recipes because they know foreign tourists will not know the difference. It's a shame, because they're misrepresenting our amazing cuisine. Also, although the translation is somewhat accurate, the word feast is not the best equivalent for the local "pomana". Sure, it has the festive meaning because this was a dish made when people sacrificed their pigs for Christmas (pomana also means a funeral reception, like a mock feast for the dead pig with the pig's meat - we're cheeky like that), but the better translation would be pork extravaganza, because it's meant to be a dish that combines pork meat from various parts of the animal, each with its own flavor. So you see, it's not about the size of the platter, but the variety of the meat.
Most of our dishes are a combination of salt and sour. We have some salty-sweet foods (inherited from the Saxon colonists in Transylvania), but we're mostly a salt and sour loving nation, with a separate sweet tooth reserved for deserts. But if you look closely, every dish is a combination of flavours, because we understood early on how to balance these flavours to make the perfect meal. Nothing should be just fatty or just sour. Everything is balanced either with some fresh onions or pickles to compensate for saltyness or grease, something fresh and sour to mellow spicyness and so on. We are a melting pot of cultures and cuisines and we took inspiration and improved the recipes from all our neighbors and even opressors. We took recipes from the Hungarians and Ottomans, from the Russian and the Tartars, and made them all better, more balanced. Our cuisine makes for a healthy diet thanks to these combinations of fats and fibers. Another key ingredient is moderation. All those foods are meant to be eaten in small quantities nowadays, because they were invented in a time when people needed massive amounts of calories to sustain intense physical effort like working the fields. These days, people working in an office have no need for meals that have 2-3000 calories in a sitting.
BTW, that's definitely raspberry jam. One of the most popular jams we have. There's also strawberry, cherry, sour cherry, red currant, blueberry, plum, apricot, quince and lots of other jam recipes.
Literally the most accurate answer i read here! Bravo! Pity our country is not getting its deserved recognition. But that was truly on point!
I think a good translation for "pomana" would be alms. I agree with you that they should have had a guide with them visiting someones grandma for those recipies.
Love it! Romanian food is incredible so far!
It isn't, it's crap. But tourists always crave the "traditional" stuff, so...
Andrei Piatra vai de capu' tau :)
vai da de ce?
Your mom is crap
Haha thanks for liking our food :)
It's nice to see people from other countries enjoying your favourite foods. I hope you enjoy your staying in our country. If you are in Sibiu don't forget to take a drive on the Transfagarasan. Best wishes from Iasi.
PS If you need infomation of any kind, just ask!
I’m a romanian living in the UK and you made me cry for this food..😭😭

Thanks for the tips!

Peleș Castle is a must see.. I consider that castle being the most beautiful in Romania (its also surrounded by nature.. and tourists haha.. lovely place tho)
Also the Cantacuzino Castle is close to Sinaia too.. its in Bușteni (7-10 minutes if you go with the train).. In the front of the castle is a place when you can also eat or drink (order) but the view is quite beautiful so yeah.. pretty nice place to eat and drink there too ;)
I'm Romanian .and I miss Romanian so much .thank you for the video
Yes Peles castle is spectacular but the walk from the car park to the castle is a bit of a killer for an old person.... And if you want to see something that will take your breath away visit the parliament building in Bucharest 👍

Thank you for being so accurate and respectful towards Romanian food! Awesome job!
It’s always interesting to see you try foods that most of your subscribers haven’t heard of , let alone tried. Cheap beer and excellent savoury foods - I need to visit Romania 😀
Tom Murphy go for it. Stop by Cabana Sambata while you’re there. Great hike, great view, and if you have meat with you, then great place for a barbecue. Also the monastary, hotels, restaurants, and events going on in the area are all pretty cool.
Tom Murphy, if it happens for you to have romanian neighbours, pay them a visit at the dinner time. Our tradition is to invite every guest to eat!
I don't know why we Central/Eastern Europeans love sour dishes so much, but they taste like home haha😊 Excited to go to Romania this summer!
Maybe because is good for your health all that things that give the sour taste are natural sources of pro biotics
Thanks...enjoying the videos, I have added Romania to my bucket list😊 It looks very pretty, and love the architecture and street art.
We as Romanians we are happy to see foreigners enjoy and be very satisfied with us as hosts and our food and customs. I personally advise you to respond with courage to personal invitations from locals regardless of reasons, that is most efficient way to truly understand our culture and customs.We love to share the best we have with you just for the joy of knowing you and celebrating that and life itself!!!
Good food here in Romania. 👍 😉👍
Jade Cummings i know

Everybody likes our food !!! 🇹🇩
Im Romanian:)
Ciorba is not sour soup, ciorba is a kind of soup that usually is not that transparent and it is “heavier” (with more meat)
Sour soup is borș , but that is traditionally in Moldova, and that is very very tasty:)
Actually ciorba is a type of sour soup. Bors is an ingredient but also used to say “sour soup”. Have to remember different regions of Romania use words to describe dishes differently.
Hiya. Now THAT'S what you call a food vlog! Just you and the food, all the relevant details, views of the venues and reviews of the dishes warts and all. And ONLY the 2 of you, too. It may be because I'm old school, but, to me, your posts lose a lot of spontaneity when you're sharing with 'Bonnie & Clyde' or you've met up with 'Mork & Mindy'. God!, I enjoyed this SOOO much!!! All the best to you.
I made the mistake of watching this video during the Coronavirus lockdown and now I'm crying cos the food looks amazing and I'm starving for them!!! Very well made video with honest and accurate descriptions, I lived in Romania for over 5 years and still can't get enough! Bravo for venturing out of your comfort zone cos it is so worth it! Love from Bucharest ❤️🇷🇴
Romania is for the most part a Christian Orthodox country so there are many people who respect Orthodox traditions requiring them to eat vegan food on certain days, or even for many consecutive days like Easter Fast (Lent for Catholics), Christmas fasting period, and usually on Fridays. So it's not like Romanians gobble up huge quantities of meat on a daily basis. We are perfectly capable of eating vegan food, and if you visit Romania at a time of fasting you will certainly find restaurants who serve classical fasting foods. You can even find cookbooks with "retete de post" although the secret of Romanian food is the high quality of the vegetables (meat and fish too) so the vegetables taste delicious with only a few herbs and spices because they ARE delicious and healthy. Most of the dishes served in restaurants are hearty dishes, meat based, delicious and a lot of them - sarmale, ciorba de burta - also take a long time to prepare and are good in big quantities. One makes sarmale at home for Christmas because it's a family celebration and there will be lots of mouths to feed - extensive family, friends etc, and they freeze really well. But for one portion of sarmale, just find a good restaurant :-). Romania is a country where you really feel the seasons in your food, there are spring dishes, summer dishes, autumn and winter dishes, and "mancare de post" (vegan food). If you are willing to do your research you can find restaurants to your taste no matter if you are a meat eater, lacto-vegetarian (milk and egg products yes, meat no) vegan or whatever takes your fancy. If you want "traditional food" - be prepared for quite a lot of meat. This is our history, the most loved traditional foods in Romania are meat-based. There are exceptions, mostly appetizers (zacusca, eggplant salad, fasole batuta - a cream of white beans similar to hummus -) but for the most part if you want traditional food you will eat meat, and not even a vegan snowflake can change culinary history.
YOU R THE BEST COUPLE UA-camRS THAT COVERED ROMANIA SO FAR ... i see the respect n love u have for each other not compared to the other .. u know whoo ..haha
Loving the bread bowl and the eyes in the roof
I've always loved those eyelid attic windows. They really give a house character.
suspicious house is suspicious
It has lips too 😕 strange and the building next to it, looks like its looking in the other direction 😂😂
Man, that smoked bean soup, served in a bread bowl with red onions on the side is...heavenly! Everybody should try it at least once in their lifetime!
Come to Bukovina since you're in Romania. It's something that you wanna see. My family has a bed and breakfast that you'll definetly enjoy, it's called Pensiunea La Moara.
The fact that you ate "mici" and "sarmale" represents yours baptism in this country, and from now on a part of you belongs forever to this country.
I'm kidding, but I really appreciate that you tried those two our kind of food
You also need to visit the cities of Brasov,Cluj Napoca,Targu Mures,Sighisoara and many more:))
And Oradea in terms of unique arhitecture.
dozsa laszlo attila S-o true
Transylvania overload man... they should try Iași. Ever since they redid the center and Palas area, it's been amazing.
Don't forget Constanta and Iasi.

I love seeing someone else discover how to eat Romanian foods, brings back childhood memories of experimenting with the components, mixing and matching at the table. It's just so Romanian.
Salut! You must go to Salt Mines of Turda! Have fun in România. 👍
or paraid
Yeah they are just beautiful
I'm so glad that exist peoples from other countries who like to do videos about Romania. Keep it like this! Kisses from here💋👅
I think the "tochitură" looks & sounds pretty good... Love a good slow cooked stew...
The "sarmale" sounds interesting... Wasn't a fan of sauerkraut previously, but I enjoyed it in Estonia last year... :)
That dough dessert at the end...Yum...!
Man, I am Romanian, those "Sarlmale" can be made with boiled fresh cabbage leave too, I personally like them more . This way You say good bye to the sour taste.
Sameee
Im from ramania too frate
Now I live in the USA but I miss the Romanian food, especially the sarmale with mamaliga (polenta) and ciorba de burta
I congradulate you on your open minds and sense of adventure to try the foods you have never eaten. Your videos are a lesson for the young on how to travel and enjoy.
OMG I spent days and days eating at those restaurants..... food is amazing... and I still visit them every time I go to Romania as it's just an hour drive from my place.....
A Romênia parece ser um país lindo e acolhedor.
Those cabbage rolls have my mouth watering sooooo bad!!
Scott Milligan, those are the beeeest! All Romanians love sarmale! ❤️
Is cabbage Andreea meat and rice i love them
We did too, and we eat those very often so....
The cabbage it keep its crispyness becouse it is soggy gabbage means its keept in salt over the winter period most of times when temperatures are verry low, its ă tradition for us. Btw there are another type of sarmale used to cover the rice and meat with grape leaves , they are ă little bit dryer then the once with gabbage but i guess more tasty.

Haha, you guys are both hilarious and adorable how you get so excited over food and everything in general, it's really nice how you see the positive side of things around you :) the jam was probably forest fruits jam so ya, mixed berries :)
Thanks so much for the comment! We had an absolutely delicious day 😊
@@Theendlessadventure if it's the proper 'papanasi' it would have been home made sour cherry jam, not mixed berries :)
Hi Dear
Thank you guys for visiting our country! I hope you really enjoyed your time here!
the onions you had with the pork - were actually meant for the bean soup :P still great videos!
I am so glad to see that 2 lovely people came to Romania and try our traditional food. I hope you will come back 1 day . Love you guys to pieces ! Take care
omg, my mouth is sooo watering right now. you guys have eaten a LOT, hats down, i'm romanian and i can't eat all those amounts of dishes that you tried :) especially that they are super greasy and consistent. thumbs up for that. But guys, you definitely don't know how to eat 'ciorba de burta' 😂 .. Anyways, it was refreshing watching you 👍
Haha, when the food's that good, it's easy to go a bit overboard !😂 We had such a delicious day!
@@Theendlessadventure hello guys the way you describe our food make me instant to subscribe
So...the sourness that you felt in soop usually romanian have it from " borş" we use it fior all the year is made from fermentation of ground grains mixture (like sweet corn etc)...
+during the summer in different parts of Romania they use even green grapes or "corcoduse"
@@Theendlessadventure well, that also depends on the region of Romania. No, it's not made with "borș"(borsch as u probably know it) but with either lemon juice or vinegar. That "ciorba de burta". The rest of our broths are usually made with that "borș ", and/or sour cream. That sour cream that came with your broth, you add it in the bowl of broth, gives a creamier texture. The garlic, same. If you want it more garlicky, or spicy, just add that in your bowl. Most people here also eat that pepper along with the broth, though personally, i think my mouth is on fire afterwards, so i say no thanks. One more tipp, romanians never eat bread and polenta with the same dish. Polenta takes the place of the bread. Hope u guys had lots of fun, despite the weather.
Thank you for the video and the link for the airbnb; I will try it next time I'm back in Romania. Recently I was there for a month and that was far too short! I was mostly in Bucharest, but did go to Brasov and visited Bran Castle and Castle Peles. The people everywhere were absolutely amazing! The scenery was like nature's art being displayed to perfection, and the food, OMG, everything soooo fresh, not like here in USA. It's hard to explain, but, overall, I fell in love with this country, people and experiences.
glad you enjoyed staying in my country.
Best food in Europe. Forget about italian food:) romanians know what food should be:)
Agre!

There's no romanian food. Sarmale are Turkish and mamaliga Polish, if I'm not mistaking
@@joedavidson5884 just the name but ingredients are our.
You have no idea how many delicious and original dishes you can find there.
Love the creepy "eye" buildings! 👁 And that inside-out jelly donut looked amazing.
I have had this recurring dream since I was little of being on a flight to Romania, getting off at the airport and then getting lost in a town that looks similar to that. I don't know why I dream it...I have no connections or real interest in Romania?? But, pretty cool nonetheless. Can't wait to see the Dracula tour!
How random! The streets can get a bit curvy, but we think you'd find your way just fine 😊
Just let me know when you are coming to visit Romania, maybe i'll be your tour guide because I love your excitement.
Boo!!
It'll be awesome i can tell you that for sure!
You guys are amazing! Traditional food in Romania 🇷🇴 is worth to taste! I grew up with all those meals and I can't imagine making my plan meal without some of them! 😊
We Love România!❤️🇷🇴❤️
I’m so happy to see people from all around The world visiting our country and love it. Good choice on chosing those meals, very traditional.

The sour in ciorbe is usually made using borș (though it can also be made or enhanced by adding lemon or citric acid). Romanian borș is related to the slavic borsch (normally made from fermented beetroot), but unlike the more its more well known cousin, it's actually made with fermented wheat or barley bran, giving a very sour taste. Adding it to a soup will make a ciorbă, or if it's one of the more clear types, the whole meal could be called a borș, zeamă, or acritură.
i love it when i see foreigners eating our food with passion, eat all you can, enjoy the taste! safe travels!!!:)
17minutes? IM READY
😂
They should have served the onion rings for the beans with the juice from the pickled cabbage,it would have blown your mind!
Next time you come to Romania get a travel guide or someone who knows the places you visit well,so they could offer you the best experience in food and all.Flying the Nest had a guide when they visited Romania,it was the people at the resort they stayed at.
you should visit also Brasov and Cluj, but of course Oradea is the most beautiful. We have the most beautiful city center, we have Nymphea Aquapark, we have Baile Felix and Baile 1 Mai, thermal water resorts. We call this part of the country Ardeal, but the tourists know it as Transilvania. And by the way, you are good, I mean you are very good in what you do, the way you present food and the town and the places. I envy you for having such a life. And we are used to be the last country in European Union in every field, so it feels good when I see somebody telling so many wonderful things about my country. I am from Oradea, you should really visit it. Thank you and good bye.
I second that! Oradea's eclectic arhitecture will blow you away! If your plan is to head East of Romania, do not miss Oradea! And there are some very cool places, like Meatic Restaurant where you can eat "modernised" versions of other tradional foods you haven't tried yet like zacusca or pita cu clisa (that is greasy bacony stuff on bread)
Orade noasta-i baza...Rogerius si Cantemir is baza.
Hmm I haven’t heard much about Oradea, I should think of visiting
Oradea is a 900 years old city, it has a fortress, and many many beautiful old buildings, the Black Eagle Palace, the new amazing city center, the Nymphea Aquapark, The Baile Felix just 8 km from the city, so a must see city.
Oradea is not in the east...
Watched the whole series while getting ready for work and I almost ruined my make up tearing ... I love all of your videos about my country and I miss it so much after watching you guys enjoying... I do hope you had a good time and that you'll visit Romania again. All that food...oh,my... multumesc!!!
7:42 why is there no sour cream on the sarmales?
asking the right questions
That's what I was about to say ;)
Man, de ce ai mânca sarmalele in foaie de varză cu smantana? :( pe alea in foaie de vita de vie pui smantana

JESUS loves you and died for you if you accept HIM! HE rose from the dead to show us that death cant hold HIM! repent and start living your life for HIM and when the time is right HE will get you to Heaven🖤
As a romanian and big fan of (CIROBA DE VACUTA) Beef Sour Soup, I'm a bit disappointed you didn't tried it. You NEED to try that at all costs, put like a spoon of sour cream in it, and take a bite of the jalapeno as well right before eating it so the taste will mix with the jalapeno. I also think that pickled jalapenos are the best, but a big green one like you had in this video should do it as well. Usually they are not that spicy. Goes perfect with beer.
Important note: eat that soup from a restaurant somewhere in Sibiu or anywhere in the mountain's cities/towns. I think it tastes better in the mountain area than in any other places in Romania.
All the best !
Sibiu ist ein schöne Stadt! Das Essen ist sehr lecker. Nächstes mal soll ihr "papanasi fierti" probieren. Grüße aus Germany!
Guys, I’m Romanian but live in Germany. After watching the video now I really miss that food. I hope u enjoyed everything there. It’s one of the most beautiful country, I love it. And thank you for remembering about the food, now I’m hungry 😅
Thank you for promoting Romania's food. What place would you rank it amongst international cuisines?
Its really cool to see other people try these things for the first time especially knowing how they taste.
the only bad thing is my mouth is watering right now.
Yet another amazing vlog, I am so hungry now, lol!
By the way, what's with that house staring at us in the opening scene? :D
Yes! That's exactly what they are for. Also, in the summertime, they can be opened to vent out all the hot air that has risen from the lower floors all day. It really helps the houses to cool off in the evenings.
I live in Bucharest, but I go to Sibiu frequently. I must say you picked a great restaurant to eat, I go there myself quite often. Not only is the food great, but the service is really nice as well. Once some people tried to cut in line and sat down at a table that had just been emptied, despite the fact that other people were waiting in line. The waiters refused to serve them until every single person that was waiting in line got a table.
Great Transilvania, good job ,honest reviews ...you got it straight and true..
All the way from Florida to Romania🇷🇴 and I must say I absolutely enjoy the everyday life & food here the most🤩!!
I hope you enjoyed your stay and visit to Romania.
I dont know that you followed my advise that I left you on Insta,but good choice with Sibiul vechi 👏
Its a crazy weather here and so uncharacteristic,usually this period is hot,very hot 32-36°C with no rain but the global warming have different ideas.
In a sunny day I reccomand that you go in 'Muzeul tehnicii populare' there you can admire rural houses from all over Romania and after your tour you can eat at 'Carciuma din batrani'.
Hi there, I'm from Romania and I really want to recommend you that next time to look for more traditional places where you can eat. If you think that Romanian food served in Restaurants is good than you will be amazed by same food cooked in rural parts of our country. Great video !! I just discovered your channel and is awesome!!
You guys are tormenting a Romanian pregnant woman. I ate at that restaurant back in 2013,when I came for the arts festival.You guys just missed it. You should try the gelato in the Piata Sfatului.I am drooling here. I watch this from Baltimore and planning the next visit to Sibiu. Please mention the name of the restaurant if you have not already.
My company is headquartered in Romania and they are sending us there for a meeting. I’m going to try to go a week early and explore the country. This video is great for trying to pick out things to try.
Love your food videos guys! Hope you're doing the Dracula element that you missed in Whitby, Yorkshire. If you're heading to Bulgaria or if not there already, try and check out Sliven and Karnobat, very local, and drink Kamenitza!
The tripe soup is usually made with vinegar and the creamy texture comes from the sour cream used. Some people like to add even more vinegar, sour cream or garlic in their bowl. It really depends on every person. You were supposed to add the sour cream or the garlic mix in the soup with the spoon and then just mix it all together, but there’s no problem, to each his own. Loved the video and I’m glad you enjoyed our country!
Man, wait a minute. "Dracula" or Vlad Țepeș, how the ruler is called was confused with his father, Vlad Dracul who gained The Dragon Order and from here comes the name. And Vlad Țepeș ruled in Wallachia, another historicaly province of Romania. Speaking of food romanians are meat eaters due to the climate where we are. To survive we need a lot of food because, like my father said, you can't pass a winter only with a tomato salad. In your country you don't eat much meat because hotter it becomes, less meat you eat. Vă salut din România! Sarmale is the best
Probleme?????🙄👹👿
3:11 i love the fact that the guy serving them just comes there and greets them with "Bună seara" meaning good evening expecting a romanian to answer and gets a surprise awesome and he is like oh yeah awesome
For a moment I thought you were at the Tour de France with those cyclists. I think with these dishes you could ride a great ‘etappe’ for sure.
Dutch Nomad Couple funny you would say that. We are big Tour de France fans in Romania and every etappe the romanian comentators at Eurosport talk about a traditional food from the region the stage is going through and even give you the recipe and post photos on the website
Cool! Do you like to see TdF yourself? I think those commentators make it interesting to watch and listen to the TdF etappes!. But those dishes in Romania, gorgeous. We have Romania on our travel list for 2019. We talked to a Romanian guy in Mexico and he was so proud! It must be beautiful, especially that curved road you have. Nevertheless, we would love to visit Romania!
Dutch Nomad Couple Oh yes! I've been watching it with my dad since childhood. It is really thrilling. They joke around, analyse the route and which racer has a better chance, they give us pieces of gossip from the cycling world and even place bets on who they think will win the etappe.
We have a beautifull country even though at times I feel it is not well advertised because of our past political aliegencies and my fellow countrymen whom currently live all around Europe.
If you have the chance to come you should go to Transilvania or Maramures. The small cities in the mountains have an medieval flare to them because of the Germanic influence they had and also the villages are full of greens and blues, flowery fields, mountains going through the skies, endless forrests, hidden water streams and simple yet kind and inviting people
In the past Bucarest from Romania was called Little Paris.
@@bianca-zh1bb There are other cities that boasted that title, though. Still, having been to Romania twice, now, I must say I liked it very much, especially Sibiu. Brasov was too cold when I was there, but still a very nice city. Bucuresti wasn't that bad, but still a lot of grime, too. And I must admit it didn't help that I got my foot stuck in a manhole, because the manhole cover was a size too small. I had to drag myself to the station and it hurt for the rest of the trip. It made it almost impossible to do a tour in Sibiu, glad I bit through the pain.
the soupa is great..my wife keeps on making me try the tripe soup..but I struggle!..🙄..pork rib and bean is the best..what you have to respect is the culture of not wasting anything..

- Bună ziua!
- Awesome!

I'm a Romanian living in the UK and you guys make me want to go on a Romanian food tour, haha! Brilliant video!
You need to try zacusca
Yack
@@ΔεαΚ E buuun baaaaaa.E buuun
@@ΔεαΚ nu esti romanca adevarata
Pomona porcului and papanasi my all time favourite home cooked Romanian food. Grew up on all this food. Glad you enjoyed.
There is traditional tripe soup in Poland as well, delicious. You should have tried😕 And gołąbki which are similar to sarmale but made of fresh cabbage.
sarmale can be made with fresh cabbage too...but that it's only the option when cabbage is in season!
Really glad to see different people trying our native dishes. Hope you will visit us more.
Aoleou dacă ziceam sarmal ma bătea Bucătarul cu făcălețul😂😂

Thanks for share i
Romanian culinary. Like ot 💖 My Romanian husband proud of his best chesse, fresh fruit and fresh vege in the country side too. We am looking forward to visit Romanian soon.
