You're the first ever foreigner youtubers to make a Romanian breakfast, even tried the jam on bread at the end, nice! Eating like that in the morning makes you guys honorary Romanians. Also, it's OK to eat ciorbă with bread or mămăligă, soup is the non bread one. Lovely video, as always, keep up the great work!

Not really, dear. Only 20% do smoke, so that is not a tradition. Traditional is to have a good breakfast. Yes, cheese, eggs, veggies are a base. But being that Romania, in many places ppl do fast, so eating would be reduced to some veggies during fasting periods. At least, in Maramures you can hardly find vegeterian food in the fasting periods. There are many other places like this too.

Papanași originally was a home sweet made of cottage cheese sweeted with sugar and cooked and some sour cream on the top, something which everyone could have it.

eggplant salad ingredients: 2-3 large eggplants, 1/2 onion, 50 ml oil (not olive oil, preferably sunflower oil), salt. (Optional: pepper, mayonnaise) Cook the eggplants on the stove flame on a grill pan or on a special baking sheet. They can also be baked on the grill, in the flame (they can also be baked in the oven, but they have a different taste) Put them in a bowl of cold water to clean themselves of the bitter juice they have. After baking, clean the skin well, then chop them well on a chopper with an ordinary or special wooden knife. Put the chopped eggplants in a bowl. Clean and finely chop the onion, separately. Add a little oil over the eggplant, mixing well. Add salt to taste, then the chopped onion. The salad is eaten with bread. If we also have some slices of tomato, it is even better. This is the simple, traditional Romanian recipe. You can also add a little mayonnaise, but it changes the taste and adds calories. And, if course, it will not getting well wuth your liver or your stomach. ****************************** I would want to add the recipe of that turkish Ayran you liked: Yoghurt (greek yoghurt or other, but be sure it is concentrated yoghurt: 5%, 10%) Salt, at taste Cold water In a large bowl, mix the yoghurt gradually with the water. You can add water as you please. I mean, as thick you want to be the final beverage. (That's why I didn't specify any quantities of the ingredients.) Then add salt at taste. (put salt, mix it well, then taste it. If you want more salt, add some, mix it well and s.o.)

Hi guy's wow what a beautiful place full of color and architecture, my heart dropped when you were climbing up the stairs in the bell tower, Steve regarding your tripe and the flavours you were getting it's a sign that the tripe wasn't washed enough because of where it comes from it takes on flavours from the liver and kidneys and it needs to be washed at least 4 times in clean water each time to remove a lot of that flavour it also looked under cooked and being tough, brilliant as always, stay safe and god bless 🙏❤️

Whenever you'll be trying again tripe soup , mix it with sour cream and garlic paste that they offer with it. And ''supa'' is the light clearer one', "ciorba" is more like a broth with chunkier bits of vegetables ," bors'' it's the fermented mix made out with grain and barley (leftovers after you grain them to make flour ) and you add lavage and other spices according with taste and region you are in, and you add this mix in to the "ciorba"

Lovely video, peeps from the land down under. 😊 Fun facts: Sibiu is classified as a city, in fact it has a population of around 150000 people, it's not exactly that tiny, it's more like medium sized. The former mayor of the city is now the president of the Romanian republic too. Our cuisine is a bit similar to the Hungarian one for sure (Ukrainian as well), but there is more influenced by Turkey, Bulgaria and Serbia than by Hungary or Ukraine. Finally, if you want the Romanian version of ayran, it's called chefir (kefir). As a matter of fact, kefir is a traditional Eastern European drink, popular not only in Romania but also in Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Belarus, Georgia, Bulgaria, and so on. In fact, the main difference between kefir and ayran is that the kefir also has fermented grains in its composition, which cause it to have more beneficial bacteria.

As @costinhalaicu2746 mentioned, the Romanian cuisine is a mix of influences. I even dare to say that there is no such thing as Romanian cuisine... Sarmale is a dish that you will find all over the Balkan peninsula and even on the northern coast of Africa and Middle East. With just some differences in the ingredients used because the pork is haram in the Muslim countries. So many other dishes are a reminder of the hundreds of years of Turkish occupation that left behind some words, some recipes and some habits. Go google ”peşkeş” that turned to ”bacșiș” in Romanian language. Just an example on how words and habits were embraced in the occupied territories by the Ottoman Empire. What I'm trying to say is that you will find no original recipe in Romania and everything you call Romanian cuisine, you will find in Ukraine, Republic of Moldova, Serbia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Greece, and even in the Middle East and North Africa. Of course, with variations forced by the religion or empowered by the ingredients you find in those areas. That aubergine salad is very popular in Greece and Turkey where they use also lemon juice. Because they have lemon trees, of course. We don't! Bulgarians that are also making that dish, don't! Same idea, same dish, a bit different ingredients due to availability. Our "pride" dish, mici, is known as a kebab in the Muslim countries. They don't eat pork but we do! So, mixing a bit of pork in the recipe, makes them mici. The pride dish! Our "national" snack... It was brought to us by the Turks and we just adapted that. Not a Romanian dish! National cuisine means a bit more than just the presence in the menus everywhere. Try to guess where the "Fish and chips" are coming from... The list is long. Our list of "Romanian cuisine" dishes is actually not that long... Mămăliga is the cheaper version of the Italian polenta that requires some other quality ingredients and a longer cooking time. We don't use Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and butter or olive oil, It is just water, corn flower and salt. Not a polenta! Just Mămăligă! Not the same thing! There are some influences from a different area on the other side of the Carpathian mountains. Their cuisine has different influences from the Austrian-Hungarian zone. Still nothing original there too! First step in recognizing a problem is to admit that we have one. There is no Romanian cuisine. Yet!

@@KristyandSteve its good food because initially the food was made for people that worked the fields and they had to have strength, endurance and energy so the romanian food has a perfect balance between everything. traditionally women would cook for the men who went to do hard work. for kids its also good because it satisfy their growing needs to develop their minds and body. the romanian food also is not based on one thing for example the cheese but the whole package including the soups and deserts so you like get everything you need. Also the food doesnt shy away from fat which is also good if you do hard work and intelectual work at the computer. The philosophy is different about what is healthy and what is not. For example as a Romanian i went to other countries and suffered because they dont have soups or ciorbe and here the ideea is that you need something liquid (not water) to digest the second meal better the hard foods, hence the soups. The deserts are also good because they are generally sweet and do have some sugar, again here the ideea is that you need sugar to function properly. About the coffee they are everywhere including local brands, everyone drinks coffee here its like food. Beer and wine has a very old tradition it was made first in Europe in Romania thousands of years ago where Dacia was called back then. Yeah the food is great if you want to eat well and not the modern aproach of Healthy, which might not be healthy for many people. Here i also buy food a lot from the local restaurants, its expensive but its good food:)

I think you got a bit confused about the cheese/sour cream in the papanasi. The white liquid stuff on top is sour cream, but the cheese is inside the donut, mixed with the flour. So the inside should be more dense and less fluffy than a regular donut. I mean, this is the traditional home made way, but maybe the restaurants cut corners and skip the cheese as it's the most expensive ingredient, I heard that but I dunno :)) Nice video guys, the tripe soup reaction is expected, as we Romanians either love it or hate it. I personally hate it :).. good news is there's a chicken variant, exactly the same tripe soup but with chicken breast instead of tripe... It's called "ciorba radauteana" and I love it, you should try it if you have a chance.

Hey, very nice videos in Romania! Thank you and congrats! About the tripe soup. If it is chewy it's more natural, taken from the local farmers. Most times it has nothing to do with the period it was boiled. It's the material itself. The softer one which melts in your mouth it's actually bought from the supermarket coming from animals which were raised in less natural environments. Usually, Romanian prepare the tripe soup at home and the good stuff is not soft. It's supposed to be chewy. 😅

let me explain, papanasi always, normaly comes in 2, but the restaurant split s it in 2 when you order one plate thinking you know they are 2 and you might just want to share, they go out of their way to make sure that if you change mind just by looking at it you don t have to wait for the other to finish or share same fork

When it's about sheep cheese in the area is about Romanians shepards from Croatia to Ukraine and from Greece to Moravia, the top of the mountains was the place of the romanians shepards for the last few thousands of years. The last century changed this due to the wars and the controlled borders.

You were right .. that restaurant is not the one to go to. We locals feel the same

Who is "they"? 🤔

Eggplant Salad. It contains eggplant roasted on an open fire, white onion, vegetable oil, and salt. From the eggplant, must remove first the seeds as many as possible. Most likely you eat eggplant roasted in the oven, which is not the real deal. In other regions, eggplant salad contains also roasted bell peppers, not spicy ones, cooked in the same manner as eggplant. It's like 80 % eggplant, 20 % peppers. Real Chicken sour soup, its made with at least 2, 3 year's old cickens. The taste is much more intense. Small noodles must be hand made, not mass-produced market ones. It can contain a large variety of veggies. Bors its mostly called like this in the Moldova region, which many tourists don't come because of Google. :) Bors is a sour liquid water obtained by fermenting wheat remains from the flour grinding process. Bors is added to the soup in the middle of the cooking process. Tochitura dont have souce. Its plain porc meat with some sausages and ribs, boiled in porc fat with salt and pepper. That's it! On the plate, nust see tochitura with one fried egg, some polenta and a side dish with pickled white cabbage.
