@JetLag Warriors is so funny how Steve understand Romanian 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This might be your best vlog from Romania. Sorin is like a father who is getting super excited when his "kids" understand how to pick mushrooms. He has a kind heart and so do the ladies cooking in the kitchen, it reminded me of my dad and grandparents. Bucovina is such a special place because of its people! Thank you for sharing this incredible experience with us 😊

Bucovineans are the liveliest, most hospitable Romanians you'll find. Best episode so far.
9:51
Let's goooo
My man Steve found a nice one..
27:17 the cat looking to Ivana ,is like "give me some ,don't be shy!" :)
I just love wherever you go in Romania, those places always give you some LOTR/ The witcher vibes. Every time when you walk into a restaurant or a village, it's like venturing into a medieval inn.
A world of mushrooms wow.Im embarrassed to say I only know 3 kinds of mushrooms Button,Oyster and Portobello.
Don’t care much for them but I would love to go mushroom hunting especially with Sorin.He knows his mushrooms and is such an endearing man.
Steve offering his mushroom to Sorin for approval reminds me of a cat who brings a dead bird to his master for approval lol
I also know 3 kinds: edible, poisonous, or hallucinogens :)))
@Franco phile Thanks, I think... et Vive la France!
@@carcrash1875
Something my son would say.Both of you are smart asses 😂😂
Love the vlog, these is exactly how traditions are passed down from the elders in the village. It's common to go "mushroom hunting" right after a rain. I appreciate that you go to the heart of the culture of the Romanian traditions throughout the country. You are taking the time to get to know the people and the country. Thank you again for this experince.
we love local experiences like this❤️
Definitely you deserve the prize of most crazy courageous travelers ever !
No problem with the barrier language, because you had FUN !
Respect !
The yellow mushrooms that looks like "corals" are called "The Rooster's Crest" which are edible and actually are considered the best for a lot of dishes, mainly for "Zacusca" (mashed vegetables - commonly with red peppers and then you add your veggie of pleasure...eggplant or mushroom or...others) which is spreadable on bread. I can't believe they skipped those first ones (L.E. now i saw you got some after my comment :)) )
@Asta TH-cam gălbiorii sunt gălbiori. Forma e ca la vinețele , cu coroana mai îngustă și tulpina mai mare. Creasta cocoșului e ceea ce ai văzut tu că arata ca un coral.
Steve having a scouts lesson that he missed when he was a kid 🤣 love the way you are enjoying your time in there and the way you're understanding and learning romanian language 😀
Great, people ! I love how heartful and dedicated you are, experimenting with various aspects of Romanian life here...
Steve, you actually understood and translated some words and even phrases PERFECTLY! Ivana, you still won the contest, though! XD Great job to both of you, it was a learning experience for the viewers too! ^_^
romanian is 70% latin and english itself has a lot of latin words too, the pronounciations can be quite different sometimes tho
You reminded me of my childhood, I used to go with my grandmother to pick mushrooms... You are great !
You are awesome, Steve and Ivana, I am Romanian and regardless of me already doing the most things you did in your trip to Romania i felt like i was there with you and i liked the enthusiasm you guys showed to our culture and people, was so proud of my country and i really enjoyed your videos, keep up guys!
15:20 Zacusca can be in different flavors, you can have eggplant zacusca, mushroom zacusca, etc. The base is the same, with red peppers etc., but then to get a different type you add either eggplants, or mushroom, or beans, or even fish and you can have fish zacusca. The most popular one is the eggplant one.
What a beautiful experience, don't leave România guys, we love you!
Solca beer is sooooo crazy! One of the best romanian beer, with clean forest spring water, traditional recipe, it has not yet been bought by the world's major brewers.
Suceava, Solca, Bermas, Calimani, tine-i Doamne cat mai mult pe piata! O bere adevarata, ca in alte vremuri!
Mare cinste faceti Romaniei La Saivan
you guys deserve Romanian citizenship, great ambassadors of the country
You know what i like most to this video, is the expert mushroom actually teach every young viewer how to pick and select mushrooms. Something that young people no longer get to learn or have no such experts to explain them the mushrooms and why some should be avoided.
Had lot's of fun with you picking mushrooms with Sorin and Beni. You should value your experience in the places you stay on google maps, this is more likely to support them work and activity towards some other visitors :)
He teach you survival stuffs in wildness ;)) . The language difference between you and him actually made this more fun, as he did his best to explain by body language what he means.
Even i am thinking to pick mushrooms, now after seeing you guys :).
we don't have antilopes I guess he was trying to say that they were deer tracks
Hi guys 👋🏻 this is amazing , I never foraging wild mushroom before , I'll just pick them in the supermarket 😅 that mushroom picker guy must have years of experience in foraging , he knows all types of mushroom in that forest , really interesting 👍🙏🏻
Wow best part is seeing the two lovely hosts preparing mushroom dishes and entertaining you both like family 👍 awesome guys 😊🥰😘
He learned from his father / grandfather ... i used to go foraging with my grandfather as well and he taught me all types of mushrooms and even now i live in UK im still knowing this types after over 20 years from my last "foraging trip" :)
Wild mushrooms fried in pork fat with garlic...God bless our grandparents, thank you for the beautiful advertisement for a country so rich but impoverished by others.
May they have something else than food industry there?
I really hope that you guys move to Romania and upload hundred of intresting videos like this one.Good job!
I'm loving all your videos. I remember collecting mushrooms when I was little and we were told not to pull them up but to cut them close to the base to leave the roots so they can regrow.
Your vlogs are wonderful! The places you choose are fabulous, and you are truly wonderful young people. As I said before, you are the true ambassadors of our country! Applause !!!!!
they prepare mushrooms the same ways as we do in Czech Republic, well we have probably more variations of food from mushrooms, because here it is something like national sport to pick mushrooms
Damn in less than a year, you saw and did more things in Romania, than many locals (including me). I envy you but at least I get a share of the fun via your channel - thank you for that!
It's so relaxing looking for mushrooms in the forest. The big surprise comes when you find a big spot, gets you so exited for the find :)
Wow! That was a mushroom paradise!
I think you are the very best "fly amanita" spotter in history, you literally picked one out in each growthstage. :))
I miss my country so bad...
Gosh they are the greatest vloggers!! They travel into the deep of romanian villages! What a great place and day to spend with them. Salamat po. I'll always follow u wherever u guys travel ! Love and health ❤
Zacusca mushrooms are called "ghebe" and they can be found only in autumn, September, October.
Ghebe sunt ciupercile din care se face zacusca.
Legend says that "all mushrooms are eatable at least once" 🤣
Long time ago.....i ate a "Fly Agaric" ! I´m still alive, but i had some weird hallucinations !
@Franco phile yes, i can try ;-) .....i´m 41 years old now, about 20 years ago i went with 2 friends in the forest to find some "funny" mushrooms.....we searched for "Spitzhut", a little brown thing, to have some fun ! We did not find any of those.....but we found a lot of "Fly Agaric"....so we took some of them and just ate ONE piece.....about 10 centimeter diameter, 2 young guys and a girl ! About 20 to 25 minutes later......the voices of the other two people got "slow motion".....and their faces got broad and tall ! We got all sick, very fast ! BTW.... i driven my car out of the forest, with this 2 young people.......
PLEASE DON´T TRY THIS BY YOURSELF..... without a "Master" who knows how to prepare some poisonous mushrooms. Greetings from Vorarlberg / Austria
Love you guys 😍Love to see Romania through your eyes. And your romanian is really improving. Looking forward for your vlogs în Romania💓💗💓💞
Great fun foraging for mushrooms, the most sort after as you said was I believe was Porcini. There are so many variations of fungus that a local person is essential, some of the differences are so slight from being delicious or dead. When collecting mushrooms in Slovenia it is almost law to collect them in a wicker basket, this allows the spores to drop through, thus ensuring the supply. We went out and found some mainly chanterelles. Locals all have their favourite and most often, secret spots. Mushrooms can grow so quickly, we had a rainstorm one evening whilst having dinner and one hour later the owners collected mushrooms that had grown on the lawn of our Penzion.
this channel will blow up, if you get 100k subs from each country you visit and if you visit the unique aspects like you did with romania you will have millions and I will always be interested to watch!
8:20 hahaha you found " PIg's fart" :)) It's name like this because if you step on it, it will explode into a big green cloud. :)) haha not dangerous.
This is video is so refreshing to see, as a kid growing up in Rep of Moldova we would go and pick up mushrooms and sell them on the side of the street, love watching you guys
Sorin is wonderful. So fun! We used to go mushrooming with my dad (Polish) in Northern Michigan.
the forest is just awesome, so pretty and pristine
Of... hopefully will remain so...
Awesome adventure...looking for edible mushrooms in the deep forest/jungle. Wonderful to have experienced Sorin to guide you both. First time seeing those coral type of mushrooms.
Nice ending of the vlog...mushroom party !!!😋😋😀
forest not jungle man.
going after mushroom look so fun
the "Coral ones" are sooooo good! stew or soup, delicious !!!
I've enjoyed evey minute of the video. Nice guys, glad you find Romania fun!
It can be seen that Sorin, is a professional seeker of wild mushrooms. 24:57 Wild mushrooms cooked with sour cream and polenta are my favorite food.
Dude! Your excitment is.... one of a kind! Did you breathe some of them? :))))
Totul bine!
one of the best vlog so far...enjoy ur stay in Bucovina!
Awesome video. Great & warm Romanian people !
Very nice, one of my favorite things in Romania. Look for Bureți Usturoi and cook them on the stove with cheese and salt.
The purple mushroom Steve found was actually a Wood Blewit. It’s a very good eating mushroom
I miss so much to go to search mushrooms in the forest. It's so relaxing and for me it was like a sport. I could say for me searching for mushrooms it's like how is fishing for some people. I'm glad you guys are experiencing this feeling 😊
Grate adventures! Thanks for sharing.
Steve, you have such a "gift" to find only deadly mushrooms!!! 🤣🤣🤣The one at 9:28 I think is The deathcap mushroom (Amanita phalloides), and the red ones are The fly agaric (Amanita muscaria). Don't even touch them with bare hands! I had so much fun watching this video!!!🥰🥰🥰
Bureţi nebuni... 🍄🍄
Crazy mushroooms... 🍄🍄
That moshroom creem,we named ciulama de ciuperci.
Wow....l really like this mushroom picking! How many types are there? So interesting and fun.!
Hallo Ivana and Steve What for a beautiful Video whit a nice Forest, whit a lot of "ciuperci "and a very good eating.multumesc. I like your vlogs very god. Have a nice day and greetings from Bavaria, Germany. 🤗🤩
Steve and Ivana, I've been following you for a long time and I admire you. Thank you for all the effort you put into sharing your experiences with us. My wife is from the Philippines and she admires you too. I recommend that you equip yourself with a device or an application for translating because sometimes you lose some information that may be interesting or important to you. I wish you success!
Thank you Florin!
For some reason when I see Sorin's face, he reminded me of Jean Reno.
Excellent vlog ! You reminded me of childhood .... Thank you! God bless you !
The ones that you're saying looking as corrals, they are the ''rooster crest''. They are quite good but far from penny buns !
Best episode. Glad you enjoyed the mushroom picking and also the last food called ciulama. So good
A lot of people close to the forest go foraging for mushrooms and forest salads. It is free food and exercise.
The mushroom at 9:30 is a mushroom from the Amanita family, which I think it's called "The Destroying Angel", which is deadly poisonous. By the way, the Mario mushrooms are called "Amanita Muscaria". They are mildly poisonous. In the past (and sometimes in the present), they were used by shamans as ceremonial mushrooms to induce hallucinations. The effect is pretty similar to that of the alcohol if they are prepared correctly (they must be well-dried before consumption).
amazing The porcini with mamaliga is somtehing rare
Beautiful video Ivana and Steve.
Nature is beautiful, but do not climb the mountain alone. It may be dangerous. More than half of the bear population in Europe lives in Romania.
The area where you are is famous for its old monasteries, built 600 - 700 years ago. Most are in the UNESCO patrimony. Before going to Maramures, you could visit some nearby monasteries - Voronet, Putna ...
Woww! This is interesting ~ Bear 🐻 population! Good to know 👍🏻🤓🏞️
@@joycetan4684 Oh yes. It is usual when in a mountainous area to receive messages from "RoAlert" that there is a bear in the neighborhood...
I miss my trips with my dad.We where going every year thru the forrest and mountain to find wild mushrooms.Beautifull memorie and I hope one day to take my children(if i’ll have some) to know the Forrest and all that…Fuck i’m getting emotional now…damnnn
I did the same thing with my dad. I know the feeling ...
how do you guys find these folks, awesome interaction and great way to get into the culture of the places you visit
Ivana and Steve you're absolutely amazing, so happy for you that you discover our beautiful country, love you guys,🙏❤🥰
Wow I’m so grateful for the vlog 😘 thanks guys😍 I’m romanian and this is a very romanian experience now at the beginning of the autumn
Wow amazing! Foarte mişto vlog felicitari!
The second one that you said isn’t good,got a variant of it that looks exactly the same,appart from the color.The eatable are brown,the red ones aren’t good.The coral ones are good to eat too.We call it “creasta cocosului” in my area and they are very very good
You need to relocate to Romania, Steve! 😁😁😁
Love you guys😍
I knew that you're in Bucovina when i've seen the ''solca'' beer.
Sorry miss your videos bit busy great to see it again xxx
no problem😊 watch when you can
so many different type of mushrooms...very nice
Yo guys, i am enjoying so much watching your videos! You rly are on the good way experiencing Romania! good job! :) Great video!
Steve even if don't speak Romanian I appreciate how you try successfully understand them bravo....Ivana you are great
Daaa, cele mai bune ciuperci de pădure se găsesc în România. Aproape toate ciupercile din bucătăria italiană provin din România. Așa că.... Fără cuvinte! Vă așteptăm și in Maramureș, România, cu mult drag! Este altceva.
I think you two should move to Roumania and continue vlogging because Romanian people living outside the country would be your biggest fans/followers/subscribers and we are many :P
Congratulations for your great forest adventure and picking up the mashrooms
True explorers! Bravo!
Beautiful trip
He was trying to tell you that as a general rule, the yellow colored ones are edible, while the blue/purple ones should be avoided all the time.
Just luv ya guys!
Great video, thank you for sharing !
27:10 Cat is like "Damn humans, share please!"
Guys, high levels of pigment serve as a warning, not as a means to attract! No organism wants to be eaten, and you most certainly should avoid that. However, some plants and insects will use that to their advantage and evolve to be colorful as a trick, to basically look dangerous, so it's good to have an expert with you I guess :)
Thouse are for a different kind of zacuscă.This are for mushrooms zacusca.The one you’ve had is different.So we make different types of zacuscă.
Btw, 9:13 the old man: “very poisonous “ be careful
I try my level best.. To support both of you.. I never skip any ADD on ur videos.. Ur FAN from *PAKISTAN*
So funny! My very best episode 😂
So nice !❤❤
Steve looks like a typical countryside Romanian, not kidding. But mostly from Transylvania!
Abbaut zacusca,depend and from region. I dont seet my mother put in zacusca mooshrooms. Now i am at work,i watch on you and i think to eat zacusca,because i have on me to eat on night work program.
