Romania frumoasaaaa 😍 🇷🇴 My husband is from Romania 🇷🇴 😍 I love Romania 🇷🇴 😍 I love food such as sarmale, mamaliga, salata beouf, placinta cu branza 😋 😍 🇷🇴
13:10 It's not just cooked cabbage. It's made with pickled cabbage and boiled in the oven for a long, long time, which is why you don't actually feel the cabbaginess of it, if that makes any sense. Pickled cabbage is sour and a bit salty but after boiling it with pork, it tastes nothing like cabbage, you just taste the meat, mostly. Very traditional and very yummy. I love them too. Dish has turkish origins, but it morphed to the local's taste.
First of all even the romanian cabage îs much better then any others cabage în Europe. Second, don't forget that turkish food îs most of it originale thracian because even today the turkish are genetically 80% thracians. So who was first the egg or the hen?!
Thank you for the nice and kind comments about Romania and Romanian culture. As an anecdote Romanians wine culture goes back at least for 2000 years back before the Romans came and invaded Dacia (old Romania) and during those times is documented that Burebista, one of the biggest Dacian kings ordered all the vineyards to be destroyed so the soldiers would stop drinking wine and get ready for war instead....oh yeah, and another thing the Greek/Roman Wine God Dionysus or Bacchus for Romans came from that region. Glad you enjoyed Romanian cabbage rolls , my fav ones are made with sour cabbage in a bit of a sauerkraut juice, but either way each region in that country has a different version of it :) - thanks again for the beautiful show.
That pork spread is actually "Pasta de jumari cu ceapa si castraveti murati" and is very traditional. It's a variation for "Untura pe paine" (Lard on bread spread)
Cabage roll=Sarmale All the foreign tourists should try the Romanian tradition dishes,plenty of them and very delicious.... Mândru că sunt Român Proud to be Romanian ❤🇷🇴❤🇷🇴🙏
@@DelightfulTravellers I'm glad you liked the food. You should have tried the dessert with different types of jam. My favorite combo is with raspberry or blueberry jam.
This granny is so enjoying traveling with you youngsters, while sitting on my couch in sunny south Florida ! Thank you so very much for the smiles and beautiful scenery on your travels !! God bless, Patty Lynn ❤️🌞👍👵 Oo and all delicious food you get to eat and enjoy !!!! ✈️✈️✈️✈️😇😇😇
Hi Patty! We know we have lots of viewers in the USA so it's always great to get a comment from someone new. Florida huh? Which part? We're so glad you're enjoying our videos and channel 😄- Anna
The quiet and rustic place that you went to eat at is called Hanul lui Manuc (Manuc's Inn). It's one of the oldest (if not THE oldest) restaurant/hotel in Bucharest, over 2 centuries old. My husband and I had our wedding reception there, almost 20 years ago, and also spent our first wedding night in one of the rooms. I've been in love with the place ever since I was a little kid! Hugs from a Romanian Canadian :)
It will be called ciorba de burta . In English is tripe soup it is similar to Mexican soup menudo just that the Romanian one is made with sour cream , vinegar and garlic therefor the color of the soup is white while the Mexican menudo soup is more spicy and red soup also just as good.
For me "ciorba de burtă" is amazing! 🤩 But, keep in mind that not even all Romanians like it and for foreigners maybe it's more of an acquired taste. Also, there are different recipes ( I make it differently than my mother in law, for example 😁) and that matters also...
@@MrsBlackBeauty You are definitely right, I know many people who like tripe soup, but I can't stand the taste. Even the smell makes me wanna puke. I can't explain why.
@@MrsBlackBeauty indeed. I am Romanian and never acquired a taste for tripe soup, it's just not my thing. Sarmale (cabbage rolls), though... damn! I'd eat them 2-3 times a week if possible, I actually just ate 4 of them 30 minutes ago and that was the last serving :(
@@sesisesi2027It doesn't matter religion, race or country. It matters to be real people. I'm glad when it comes to the country. It means that we also have our values.
Hi guys, the food looks wonderful there, you had me at Romanian donuts 😍🤤 gosh that looks delicious! Polenta is so good, it usually thickens up eh3n it cools so that’s why it was so thick, the cabbage rolls also look wonderful.
You still haven't drunk Maramures brandy and good wines. We also prepare a kind of kebab which we call "small" much tastier and not to mention fruits and vegetables from local varieties.
Yes, she said she wouldnt normally eat red meat soups(or sour soups/ciorba), but Ciorba Rădăuțeană is more like a sweet soup, a normal soup(because its not sour at all), but with chicken or turkey bits, so no red meat, right?
Thank you guys for the nice trip among culinary Romanian cuisine ,is something that the wonderful Anthony Bourdain wasn't able to do ,to show also some good vibes like u all did ,thank you !
You reaaaally have to come back here and try some local dishes from the 4 corners of Romania. As you might know, The northern, southern, eastern and western food courses can be pretty different in taste - them being influenced by their country neighbors. Come to Banat, go to Ardeal - you will probably be mesmerized by the traditional way of cooking and by the very reach flavors! :D Aaaanyway, you did a pretty spot on food review. Thank you for the vid! :D
"To be honest I've already tried eating some authentic European cuisines from France, Germany, Greece etc. but never had any idea about what are the Top 10 best dishes and drinks from Romania I should have try it looks so delicious WOW, Coming from the Philippines .?!"
I don't think it makes sense to prioritize the national culinary sciences. Not everyone has the same tastes and each region has its own specific food. That doesn't stop anyone from tasting the traditional dishes of a country. We, Romanians, when we travel to other countries like to taste the dishes specific to that region. We are used to simple foods, we do not want to taste art but food.
2:27 most of romania's "ciorba" is sour because it's made with borsch, a russian influence. It's almost never vinegar. Some traditional recipes can even have green mirabelle plums for the sowerness in some parts of the country.
I'm glad that you posted your videos prior your lockdown in Phils. Hope this will help you in some ways. Its fun to watch, pretty sure, most of your subscribers will also love to watch those awesome places you visited. Stay healthy & safe. God Bless.🤹♀️
9:21 cabbage rolls with pork meat and rice, 13:40 the "doughnouts" dough contains sweet cheese aswell, not just the usual ingredients for doughnuts dough :)
HI! Great video, everything you had looks amazing like its supposed to. But I feel like this needs a bit of an explanation. Papanasi is nothing like doughnuts, except both being round. The papanasi dough is made with sweet cows cheese and that's what makes them so good. Also the "soured cream" its served with is actually double cream. Cant wait to have some myself. Keep it up and enjoy Europe with all its diversity!
@@DelightfulTravellers Great video yes. Like. What Gabriel says (Bura is his last name) is that what you ate is not the traditional papanaş ... It is the one made in restaurants for tourists. You can find the traditional one only prepared at home by romanians and it is ... much tastier. In restaurants papanaș is a donut (it's simpler and cheaper to make) ... the traditional one is made from cow's cheese. I don't know if exist a restaurant in Romania that prepares it according to the traditional recipe. It's like Dracula for tourists and Vlad Țepeș for romanians ... it's about the same subject, but with two interpretations: one to impress tourists with a false image given by Bram Stoker (he was never in Romania ... and he didn't taste papanași), and a better real one only for the soul of the romanians.
the doughnut you tasted at the end is actually made out of local cottage cheese,just a bit of flour,eggs and vanilla seeds,bit of sugar ,pinch of salt. so you`re actually tasting a deepfried cheese ball dessert
Growing up my dads cabbage roll recipe was very sour. No sauce. My mom told me she has to sour the cabbage in advance. I wonder if that makes it softer too. I didn’t love to eat the cabbage but now I enjoy it. My mom is canadian and she has done a beautiful job at learning Romanian and Serbian cuisine. When I went Romania the first time by myself, I was 17 and stayed almost all summer. I didn’t know how to cook back then and relied on my sister in laws cooking. She served soup every day. Even at breakfast. Oh my laaaaaand. I was so sick of soup. 😂 I didn’t understand how they’d make soup in the summer like that. They really use their leftovers though. I appreciate how they don’t waste things like we do here. Now I wish I could have those soups more frequently. I was a stubborn typical teenager though.
@@lazaralinamaria2789 And why not? Its warm, liquid and tasty, exactly like the tea, coffee or cereals with milk. You have the textures, the warmness, the liquidness... everything ;) LOL
I would have recommand white wine with the cheese. And I think the best Romanian white wine is ... (drums)... Muscat Ottonel (sweet and flavourful), or Feteasca Regala (a little dryer). Enjoy it, tomorrow maybe! As a red wine, my favourite is Busuioaca de Bohotin. Enjoy your stay in Romania, I would like to meet you guys, but I don't live in Bucharest. I am happy travelling with you, through your videos.
We like both white and red wine with cheese so we were okay with our choice on this chilly day. The red wine in Romania is on par with some of the best we had in Europe. So good! We have a lot more Romanian videos on the way as well so get ready! 🤗- Trevor
Liked and subscribed . I'm romanian, living in another city, 250 km from Bucharest, Galatz where the life is a bit cheaper . I'd say that kind of bruschetta, Cream of Pork Spread 04:26 is way, way to overpriced, not worth it so much, i would give it maximum 12 Lei . Don't forget to come back to Romania if you liked and this time come to mountains area and try homemade food if you find some kind of tour or a trusted person. I'm glad you enjoyed Cabage Rolls called Sarmale or Sarmalute, that's my favourite and i eat that every week or so because this is our traditional food in the whole country not in just one region. Tho the recipe may differ a bit in different regions. You should've try grinded mixed meat on grill called Mici with bread and mustard. I like Ciorba very much with chili . Other traditional food : Rasol de Gaina cu Usturoi, Fasole cu Ciolan, Fasole cu Carnati, Ciorba de Burta (this goes in category of weird food recipe), Tochitura de Porc, Ciorba de Peste, Supa de Vita, Racitura also called Piftie , Creier Pane, Chiftele (Meatballs), and many more, some of them has just different names for different regions.
When I was in Romania as a teenager I went to my sister in-laws aunts house to buy some cheese from her. I felt so bad because I walked in and gagged.. I just can’t handle the strong smell of cheeses. I had to leave. That wasn’t the first time that happened to me. Did the same thing at a family friends feta cheese plant. 😅🙈 my poor dad doesn’t understand how I’m his child who doesn’t love strong cheeses. - the last time I visited Romanian, I just told people I don’t like salty cheese. That wasn’t a good enough excuse. They still kept serving me it 😂 but I love love love the sour soups and foods.
@@ВиталийКожокару-щ4л she mentioned sister in-law's aunt. So her brother's wife. Assuming her brother is straight 😁 LE.. Where in Romania have you been, Alanna?
Awesome comment! Romanian here 😄 I am city girl, but my childhood vacations were spent in the countryside, at my grandparents house and they had many sheep and would make cheese, so everytime I came to stay with them, for about 3 months a year, it would take some getting used to... but after a while, it would not bother me 😄 Even now, when we go on vacation to the mountains and eat at local restaurants, the sheep smell is sometimes pretty pungent and my 8 year old thinks it's gross, but I don't mind it, because it reminds me of my grandparents and chidlhood. Greetings from Romania 🇷🇴 ❤
I lived in Budapest for a year and loved the sour cream and cheese combo on pasta and fried bread. They know how to do sour cream right in Eastern Europe! Really want to try it on polenta now.
papanasi are the best, galuste cu prune are also very good. glad you enjoyed the food, since we here don't really have good food - it's very heavy, they say romania's favourite vegetable is pork lol. but yes we are one of the biggest and oldest wine producing countries in europe and our wines genuinely are good - better than the food. the second place you went to - hanul lu manuc - is one of the oldest buildings in bucharest - built in 1808 and yes it is in a very romanian style of architecture!
The wine caught us off guard honestly. It's on par with Italy's wine and we meant to talk about that in the video. We're a big fan of the food....we just couldn't eat it every day - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers the reason we have heavy foods its because winter can be harsh here and the romanians farmers work very hard they need that good proteins
We eat mamaliga in so many different styles. Personally, I don t like it with egg, I more do with cheese,sour cream and the meat you had it on the bread, called "jumari". If you want an traditional one, you need to try "bulz". Cheers
Thanks for visit my beautiful country Ro , next time pls came in Maramures . Like all Romanian traditional cuisine, the local dishes from Maramures are a mouth-watering delight. Moderation is, however, the keyword as some recipes are a bit too much if you’re on a light diet.:) Aso country side is amazing with nice view, friendly pple and UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Rolled cabbage is the best food in my country Romania, cabbage is not raw is pickled, cabbage is put with salt to pickle for about a month and then you can cook it with onion meat and rice that's inside the cabbage ❤️
You should drive a little through the mountains, stop at a local restaurant, the best authentic food, not as pricey as Carul cu Bere in downtown Bucharest
Glad to see people are enjoying the romanian food :) I don't understand why they recommend you mici with cheese, maybe is a new trend ..... Is usually mici with mustard and bread or mixed grill with sausages, pork meat, skewers ( chicken or pork) served with salad or pickles
The dough in Papanasi is made with cottage cheese, that's where the creamy consistency and softly caramelized aroma come from. Traditional Romanian food basic flavours are similar to the Mediterranean cuisine, i.e. herbs, garlic, onion, chilis, salt & pepper, and in some areas also paprika; cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, star anise and allspice are sometimes found in homemade sweets/desserts (and, of course, mulled wine). The thing is our vegetables, herbs and fruit are so flavoursome that you'd totally ruin the symphony of natural scents and aromas by adding strong spices like curries, ginger or turmeric.
Hi, guys! Happy that you visited Romania 🇷🇴 but please come back and ask recommendations from locals few weeks before travelling (Bucharest is the Capital but you haven’t seen much AND other cities are even nicer!!) ❤️💛💙 Safe trips and thanks for sharing 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great photography and editing! Appreciate your comment about filming in loud places. Must be hard for you to locate places that work. Also, you do a great job of filming while not being distracted by other diners/wait staff. I wonder if the cream on the donuts might be creme fraiche? Our family in Slovenia uses it for both savory and sweet dishes. Not as sour as our North American sour cream. Continued safe travels. Ps. Think about you traveling in this uncertain time and wishing you good health.
@Terese Kinast: Yes, it's creme fraiche. Or just creme, if you wish. :-) We don't put anything in it to make it sour. In Romania we use it both for deserts and for main dishes. Papanasii (the "doughnuts" shown here) are actually made from a mixture of flower, sugar and cottage cheese, deep fried. The sour cream is put on top of it to make everything creamier and prevent the doughnuts to get dry. And the jam is supposed to be something not excesively sweet; the most common is sour cherries or wild berries.
Mhm. Is not vinegar. :)) It s called "Borș". Borș is a sour juice made from wheat or rye bran. And is not polenta. :)) It s mamaliga. It s a little bit different.
You liked better turkey soup because you arrived from Turkey:)) Kidding, but romanian dishes are very rich and tasty, that I know, as a Romanian origin Canadian. Now traditional food is a bit mixed with some other, it's a bit fusion style food, all to improve the taste. me too i don't like fat, although it's so good and sweet. Enjoy the views and the food, get good ideas from people that know to recommend places not so expensive, but really good. It is a lot to experiment in food taste, that's for sure.

@@DelightfulTravellers Great video yes. Like. What Gabriel says (Bura is his last name) is that what you ate is not the traditional papanaş ... It is the one made in restaurants for tourists. You can find the traditional one only prepared at home by romanians and it is ... much tastier. In restaurants papanaș is a donut (it's simpler and cheaper to make) ... the traditional one is made from cow's cheese. I don't know if exist a restaurant in Romania that prepares it according to the traditional recipe. It's like Dracula for tourists and Vlad Țepeș for romanians ... it's about the same subject, but with two interpretations: one to impress tourists with a false image given by Bram Stoker (he was never in Romania ... and he didn't taste papanași), and a better real one only for the soul of the romanians.
So yummy. I have to try them> Thx guys.
😍🇹🇩iubesc România. I LOVE Romania
the doughnut you tasted at the end is actually made out of local cottage cheese,just a bit of flour,eggs and vanilla seeds,bit of sugar ,pinch of salt. so you`re actually tasting a deepfried cheese ball dessert
Growing up my dads cabbage roll recipe was very sour. No sauce. My mom told me she has to sour the cabbage in advance. I wonder if that makes it softer too. I didn’t love to eat the cabbage but now I enjoy it. My mom is canadian and she has done a beautiful job at learning Romanian and Serbian cuisine. When I went Romania the first time by myself, I was 17 and stayed almost all summer. I didn’t know how to cook back then and relied on my sister in laws cooking. She served soup every day. Even at breakfast. Oh my laaaaaand. I was so sick of soup. 😂 I didn’t understand how they’d make soup in the summer like that. They really use their leftovers though. I appreciate how they don’t waste things like we do here. Now I wish I could have those soups more frequently. I was a stubborn typical teenager though.
Soup for breakfast?😂
@@lazaralinamaria2789 And why not? Its warm, liquid and tasty, exactly like the tea, coffee or cereals with milk. You have the textures, the warmness, the liquidness... everything ;) LOL
Guys, we are waiting for you again!
Can't wait to visit down the road Ina - Anna
Everything looks delish! YUMMM!
It was! Romanian food is on point! Yum - Trevor
Romania is ranked 4th on best wine in the world.
Damn! U made me soooo hungry for mamaliga!:)
I would have recommand white wine with the cheese. And I think the best Romanian white wine is ... (drums)... Muscat Ottonel (sweet and flavourful), or Feteasca Regala (a little dryer). Enjoy it, tomorrow maybe! As a red wine, my favourite is Busuioaca de Bohotin. Enjoy your stay in Romania, I would like to meet you guys, but I don't live in Bucharest. I am happy travelling with you, through your videos.
We like both white and red wine with cheese so we were okay with our choice on this chilly day. The red wine in Romania is on par with some of the best we had in Europe. So good! We have a lot more Romanian videos on the way as well so get ready! 🤗- Trevor
White wine with cheese, really? And Muscat Ottonel, a sweet white wine?!
Also, Busuioaca de Bohotin is rose, not red.
Liked and subscribed . I'm romanian, living in another city, 250 km from Bucharest, Galatz where the life is a bit cheaper .
I'd say that kind of bruschetta, Cream of Pork Spread 04:26 is way, way to overpriced, not worth it so much, i would give it maximum 12 Lei . Don't forget to come back to Romania if you liked and this time come to mountains area and try homemade food if you find some kind of tour or a trusted person. I'm glad you enjoyed Cabage Rolls called Sarmale or Sarmalute, that's my favourite and i eat that every week or so because this is our traditional food in the whole country not in just one region. Tho the recipe may differ a bit in different regions. You should've try grinded mixed meat on grill called Mici with bread and mustard. I like Ciorba very much with chili . Other traditional food : Rasol de Gaina cu Usturoi, Fasole cu Ciolan, Fasole cu Carnati, Ciorba de Burta (this goes in category of weird food recipe), Tochitura de Porc, Ciorba de Peste, Supa de Vita, Racitura also called Piftie , Creier Pane, Chiftele (Meatballs), and many more, some of them has just different names for different regions.
Thank You for a yummy video!

When I was in Romania as a teenager I went to my sister in-laws
aunts house to buy some cheese from her. I felt so bad because I walked in and gagged.. I just can’t handle the strong smell of cheeses. I had to leave. That wasn’t the first time that happened to me. Did the same thing at a family friends feta cheese plant. 😅🙈 my poor dad doesn’t understand how I’m his child who doesn’t love strong cheeses. - the last time I visited Romanian, I just told people I don’t like salty cheese. That wasn’t a good enough excuse. They still kept serving me it 😂 but I love love love the sour soups and foods.
Father from Romania?
@@ВиталийКожокару-щ4л she mentioned sister in-law's aunt. So her brother's wife. Assuming
her brother is straight 😁
LE.. Where in Romania have you been, Alanna?
Awesome comment! Romanian here 😄 I am city girl, but my childhood vacations were spent in the countryside, at my grandparents house and they had many sheep and would make cheese, so everytime I came to stay with them, for about 3 months a year, it would take some getting used to... but after a while, it would not bother me 😄 Even now, when we go on vacation to the mountains and eat at local restaurants, the sheep smell is sometimes pretty pungent and my 8 year old thinks it's gross, but I don't mind it, because it reminds me of my grandparents and chidlhood.
Greetings from Romania 🇷🇴 ❤
Hey, nu ati mancat mici cu mustar !! 🤪🥰🤩
au incercat in episodul urmator. Romanian Street Food. Check it out! :)
@@1923HaiRapid micii sunt bazaaaa
@@aimbot1293 Mai ales aia de la Verdino xD :))
I hope to try the street food, its the best in europe !
Thanks for the video and nice comments! I am pretty sure that that was not turkey in your soup though... that looked like a pork bone
I lived in Budapest for a year and loved the sour cream and cheese combo on pasta and fried bread. They know how to do sour cream right in Eastern Europe! Really want to try it on polenta now.
Budapest or Bucharest?
You mean Bucharest? Budapest is in Hungary, not Romania
papanasi are the best, galuste cu prune are also very good. glad you enjoyed the food, since we here don't really have good food - it's very heavy, they say romania's favourite vegetable is pork lol. but yes we are one of the biggest and oldest wine producing countries in europe and our wines genuinely are good - better than the food. the second place you went to - hanul lu manuc - is one of the oldest buildings in bucharest - built in 1808 and yes it is in a very romanian style of architecture!
The wine caught us off guard honestly. It's on par with Italy's wine and we meant to talk about that in the video. We're a big fan of the food....we just couldn't eat it every day - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers the reason we have heavy foods its because winter can be harsh here and the romanians farmers work very hard they need that good proteins
Wowwww!! I Love România ❤❤🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴
You only have eaten HEAVY, HIGH CALORIC food that is usualy served during the winter.
We eat mamaliga in so many different styles. Personally, I don t like it with egg, I more do with cheese,sour cream and the meat you had it on the bread, called "jumari". If you want an traditional one, you need to try "bulz". Cheers
Next time try babic salami and after wine, enjoy 👌
Thanks for visit my beautiful country Ro , next time pls came in Maramures . Like all Romanian traditional cuisine, the local dishes from Maramures are a mouth-watering delight. Moderation is, however, the keyword as some recipes are a bit too much if you’re on a light diet.:) Aso country side is amazing with nice view, friendly pple and UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
ciorba de perisoare is my favorite
great dish
Can you see mine in your soup?
Rolled cabbage is the best food in my country Romania, cabbage is not raw is pickled, cabbage is put with salt to pickle for about a month and then you can cook it with onion meat and rice that's inside the cabbage ❤️
testy mici bro it’s nice 👍
I'm from Romania. Cool :))
Great video!!!
Try șunca cu ceapa și caș and Close with rachiu or palinca or try fasole cu varza murata.😃
As a Romanian i can say that my favorite desert is Papanași❤️ the donut is made of cheese by the way!
And that thing is sour creme(creme freche)
I love your food videos. They are done so professionally. They make we hungry and are informative. We aspire to be as good as you 1 day.-Trevor🍻
Thank you guys. We appreciate that... if we are making you hungry then it's a job well done 🤣haha. Next week it's a Street Food feast - Anna
You should drive a little through the mountains, stop at a local restaurant, the best authentic food, not as pricey as Carul cu Bere in downtown Bucharest
If you like wine, i recommend you Beciul Domnesc or Cotnari.
That first meal looked incredible
It was 👌This was one of our favourite food days ever! - Trevor
Glad to see people are enjoying the romanian food :) I don't understand why they recommend you mici with cheese, maybe is a new trend ..... Is usually mici with mustard and bread or mixed grill with sausages, pork meat, skewers ( chicken or pork) served with salad or pickles
You forget about chocolate when you have papanasi❤️ try ciorba de burta ✌️👌
There are many other things you can try on the next trip 😉
The dough in Papanasi is made with cottage cheese, that's where the creamy consistency and softly caramelized aroma come from. Traditional Romanian food basic flavours are similar to the Mediterranean cuisine, i.e. herbs, garlic, onion, chilis, salt & pepper, and in some areas also paprika; cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, star anise and allspice are sometimes found in homemade sweets/desserts (and, of course, mulled wine). The thing is our vegetables, herbs and fruit are so flavoursome that you'd totally ruin the symphony of natural scents and aromas by adding strong spices like curries, ginger or turmeric.
You need to eat it like a sandwich, jumari with onions and pickles.
Hi, guys! Happy that you visited Romania 🇷🇴 but please come back and ask recommendations from locals few weeks before travelling (Bucharest is the Capital but you haven’t seen much AND other cities are even nicer!!) ❤️💛💙 Safe trips and thanks for sharing 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
We’ve been all over Romania. Check the videos 😀
Back when people didn't need masks. I miss the good ol days.
Innit
Yummy!!! missing all that amazing food!! Kisses and hugs from the Netherlands 🍲🍲🍲🤗🤗🤗
If he needs help eating food, I'm always here :)
haha thanks for the backup Furkan - Trevor
06:55 Cașcaval = can be made of cow, goat, sheep or buffalo (although rare) milk. Some might be smoked (great, should try)
Great photography and editing!
Appreciate your comment about filming in loud places. Must be hard for you to locate places that work. Also, you do a great job of filming while not being distracted by other diners/wait staff.
I wonder if the cream on the donuts might be creme fraiche? Our family in Slovenia uses it for both savory and sweet dishes. Not as sour as our North American sour cream.
Continued safe travels.
Ps. Think about you traveling in this uncertain time and wishing you good health.
Thanks Terese... sometimes it's tricky to locate places and we're just use to filming in front of others and getting stared at now 😅- Anna
@Terese Kinast: Yes, it's creme fraiche. Or just creme, if you wish. :-)
We don't put anything in it to make it sour. In Romania we use it both for deserts and for main dishes.
Papanasii (the "doughnuts" shown here) are actually made from a mixture of flower, sugar and cottage cheese, deep fried. The sour cream is put on top of it to make everything creamier and prevent the doughnuts to get dry. And the jam is supposed to be something not excesively sweet; the most common is sour cherries or wild berries.
Respect !
You guys make me hungry when ever I watch your videos 🤤🤤😋
Hopefully you watched on a full stomach Danielle 😃- Anna
Delightful Travellers I did but I still got hungry 😋 lol 😆
i feel so good that you talk good about our food (:
amazing channel:)
If you think you're greedy...just skip this part 13:32 to 16:08 😜😋
Food looks good
It was top notch 👌- Trevor
God bless you two! Come back again x
Hello from Romania bro🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴👋👋👋
Eu stau în România și apreciez ce ai spus
Mhm. Is not vinegar. :)) It s called "Borș". Borș is a sour juice made from wheat or rye bran. And is not polenta. :)) It s mamaliga. It s a little bit different.
14:12, that moment... ❤️
You liked better turkey soup because you arrived from Turkey:)) Kidding, but romanian dishes are very rich and tasty, that I know, as a Romanian origin Canadian. Now traditional food is a bit mixed with some other, it's a bit fusion style food, all to improve the taste. me too i don't like fat, although it's so good and sweet. Enjoy the views and the food, get good ideas from people that know to recommend places not so expensive, but really good. It is a lot to experiment in food taste, that's for sure.
Thanks for watching Florin. We really enjoyed all the food and you're right, everything is very rich in flavour - Trevor
