I only eat salata de vinete made by mom. I don't usually like the one from restaurants or supermarkets. Mom cooks the eggplant over an open flame, so the end taste is smokey. And she chops them so fine, they are turned into a paste. She never adds mayo, oil is enough. I guarantee they are a million times better than anything you've tried. Thanks for sharing your experience. Nice video as always, guys.

The burn taste îs essential for a good salata de vinete. It represents the taste&smell of childhood for many romanians. And a good salata de vinete must be served with grilled peppers (on open fire off curse) peeled and sprinkled with vinagre.

That's because they have been living for the last 5 years or so in Romania, so they obviously are accustomed to the language.

cabbage salad and "perisoare" for me 3-4 , rest 5, as a food recipe.of course it depends how they do it, done by grandma, or parents who lived at country side are best. i recommend restaurants with traditional romanian food and there can be close to that good flavor. what i recommend to try out are : "tochitura" , "ardei umpluti", "jumeri" and "caltabos"(similar to pate) -are pork stuff done usually in winter, "ciorba de fasole verde"(green beans soup) and "ciorba radauteana"(sister for "ciorba burta" but has chicken instead), "gulas"(stew with beef meat), "crema de zahar ars"(as desert), "clatite" (with "urda si marar" ,expecially or gem), "supa de galuste" and "supa de pui cu taitei"(noodle soup with chicken) . great video again.congrats!

I really enjoyed watching this video! You're always do honest still respectful! You're pronunciation is very good! Salata de vinete it's really tricky. Because everyone has its own recipe. My mom cooks it directly on the flame, so it's a little bit smoky. Then adds a little bit of oil and mayo. It depends a lot on the type of the eggplant itself. It usually turns out different, even thou we use the same recipe, because we don't always find the good eggplants. When right, it's delicious!

As some of the others comments mentioned, salta de vinete is an aquired taste and one that is always better if made at home, over a grill for that smoky flavor. The way we do it is we also add to the mix finely chooped red onions and we eat it with feta cheese and tomatoes. :) My wife is American and it's interesting to me that she likes some romanian foods that even I don't, like "racituri" (head cheese) haha

Eggplant salad is very good, depending on who makes it. To be good, put in mayonnaise and eat micii when they are done on the spot, they are great. Cabbage is eaten with grilled meat, not empty. All traditional Romanian food, in order to be good, must be made by someone who knows. Food must be bought from peasants.

The Eggplant salad is NEVER good in retaurants or stores in Romania. The most important ingredient is mayonnaise which they never put in in those places. Home made Eggplant salad have a complitly different taste, like divine or smthg. Served with tomatoes or rosted peppers salad is top notch. Never buy it from stores, it's uneatable.

If you have a chance, try eating the sweet version of `salata de varza` by mixing in a bowl a bit of water (half a cup or so, depending on how much cabbage you have) with 2-3 tablespoons of vinegar, 1 or 2 tablespoons of sugar (depending on how sweet you want it to be) and a pinch of salt. Stir well and add it on your cabbage. It's a whole new level of `salata de varza`. We like to eat it this way in some regions of Romania, like the West part. The sad thing is that you won't find it in restaurants so it's basically homemade only. Give it a chance and who knows, you might love it

Ciorba de burtă is tripe soup in English. Romanians eat it usually in the mountains, after hiking.

Saltă de vinete is my fav but no one makes it as good as my grandmother it's so good the supermarket one is bad

So this is more of a dessert but it’s one of absolute favorites. It’s called “gogoși” they are kinda like donuts. If you do try them make sure to put powdered sugar on top after they are done.

Haha.. I am romanian and I also had some years of not wanting sour cream on my sarmale (I was like ,,I don't need this on my sarmale''). But seeing other people enjoying it with sour cream too.. I started to give it a 2nd chance to even a third chance.. and now (at the age of 33) I eat sarmale with sour cream too 😅 (now it makes sense.. hot / warm sarmale.. and you usually use some cold (from the fridge) sour cream.. but yeah.. it also tastes good with sour cream too). 👍

If you think about it, home made food is usually a lot better then the one you order, it depends also from what region you buy it :). What you buy from a restaurant is not the same with what we usually cook. There are some restaurants that are good, and some that are not, it depends ... You should try "zacusca de vinete" if you don't like egg plants (with onion is the best). But if you try zacusca, make sure you try it from different places. I bought something that was not eatable... it doesn't even compare with traditional "zacusca de vinete". Have fun :)

Very true, homemade is definitely best!

Hi. The food in question is not prepared correctly. The small ones are over-fried and eaten with mustard. Sarmales must be in tomato sauce and those prepared with basil. Put a spoonful of cream and a little vinegar in the belly soup. Cabbage salad is mixed with a little oil, a little vinegar, salt and pepper to taste. Pork neck too dry, when preparing the neck sprinkle with beer or wine so that it is not tough like ham, the neck must melt in the cure. Good appetite.

Este foarte important la salata de vinete , sa fie maioneza facuta in casa , si un soi bun de vinete .....

Some times eggplant can by harvested to sun or to late and will ruin everything.

Please try it with chopped onion and some parsley chopped on top to be a little bit smelly

If you want to still try eggplant salad, try the one made with mayo. Not to much mayo just egnough to change the taste. Also I could not see egnough onions on I to so it is best with red onions. I may sound like a salad expert, lol but the cabbage salad seemed to be missing the best part, fresh dill.
