Next to Gara de Nord there is a Kaufland (German chain), but they do have a grill outside and they make the best Mici! And German sausages. You can also buy them inside pre made to grill at home.

How about Obor Market, Take the subway to Obor station, i recomend getting lamb and beef mix, porc will be greesy because of the high amount of fat

Scott, thank you for bringing us along on the Romanian food tour. 🥐🥐🥪 It will be nice if your wife joins you on some of your trips.

Go to Terasa Obor to try mici. And eat mici with mustard, not ketchup. :)

As a Brit who has lived in Romania for nearly 13 years I was shaking my head at some of your pronunciations! An "i" on the end of a word is silent although you did get mici almost right. Mici should be cooked on a barbecue and dipped in mustard (mild type not English mustard which I've never liked). The best mici are homemade using pasta de mici from a butcher's shop and are about twice the size of the little ones you bought.

Always look forward to your video's Thanks for taking us along and all the hard work you put in your video's get to go places I would never get to see 😁

Howdy from Romania! Lovely to see you visit our wonderful country!

Always enjoy your Sunday channel updates Scott, look forward to them. Great work and inspiring me to do some of these trips (not the mental ones mind😮). Cheers, and all the best Scott.

I was going mental about you not having seen that place that surely sold mici inside North station. Never figured it could be closed for so long.

Great video scott thank you for doing these

Nice one Scott 👍👍

Food looked amazing

Another great video Scott. Thank you

Great video Scott

Oohhh lovely!!! Food vid 😁😁😁

You make me want to explore the world more. I've had Mici though, in my home town of High Wycombe

Hello friend,this video showed up in my recommended and I subscribed after watching this.I like the way you present these videos and your attitude and all.As a romanian who lived in the UK for six years I approve this video. Cheers mate!

Always remember while you live here the good people outweigh the bad. I hate how Romanians are thought of here by some 'elements' of our society and hope you and your family are happy amongst us mad British.

thought for a minute Scott, that you were in the U.S. at a typical mall. Subway, Starbucks, McDonald's......... sadly the 'street foods' country specials seem to be harder to find in the "main" area of towns. thanks for bringing us with you

Thanks scott was anticipating what your accommodation would look like and I was nicely surprised well laid out and nice good price all them.foods seem mega big all ours seem.get smaller I sure scotch pies etc a lot smaller than used too be anyway the food looks great you seem too enjoy it which is great thanks again scott you getting around places which we love thank you

There is a Kaufland that sells mici. It is a 10 minute walk from Gara de Nord, near Basarab train station.

You should have went to the Obor market for great mici.

What an adveturous day. Glad y ou found the mici, finally.

Very interesting. Thank you Scott.

Streetfood from a railway station!👍

Enjoy the travels and stay safe.

Hi, you can try buying mici at any Kaufland supermarket, or try at a restaurant For the lebanese restaurant: mica is small, it refers to the portion size of what you buy, the price is besides MICA or MARE

I will be going to Bucharest in May, meeting a good friend there. I live in Millport and have linked to her this video of and the one you went to the Isle of Cumbrae.

lol you eat mici with mustard, any place that sells them without, needs to be closed down and the owner jailed. Anyway, the train station is the very wrong place for food, unless you are looking for the worst food in Romania.

Great video, Scott! There is a food truck court here in Portland that happens to have a Romanian Food truck: Romo-Licious. They have mici! I’ll give it a try!

👍

One of the great things about your videos is that I now don’t need to go to Bucharest, culinary adventure or no 😊

Seriously, my friend, do you want to eat Romanian food in the northern station? I'm rolling with laughter! There is a transit point where people take an expensive and bad snack. Did you eat those bagels? Romanians don't eat them. You could take a bus to the center and eat all you want. I'm sorry for the experience you had. In 30 hours you could see and eat all our traditional dishes, including small but therefore good ones

Nice

Oh another place I've never been! Cheers for the wee munch around town. Mici looks okay, but it's no curry wurst!

The Kaufland nearby Bucharest Nord, also sells micii, and other meat goods at the ground floor Grill. Micii goes well with mustard and/or pickles, not ketchup, if the micii feels too salty, have a beer.

You're so spontaneous! A look of surprise made you quickly turn your head at a blast sound. 😄😁😆 on another note are those crispy rings a type of bread? On meatballs, Sweden's Ikea restaurant's meatballs here is more ok.

Interesting, educational (and somewhat frustrating) quest for Romanian street food, Scott. Instead of the extremely hard-to-find mici (Romania's favorite street food?) perhaps you'd have had better luck trying to find 'bangers and mici.' 😅🤣😂 Of the street foods you found and sampled, I would have been willing to try them as well. 👍

haha i can't stop laughing that someone thought it's a good idea to try the food at the train station, expecting to experience Romanian cuisine. Anyway, take a ride on the Mocanita if you can.

I feel sorry for the experience, first you missed the right covrigi twice, then... Those are the sadest mici I've seen :(

That hotel room looked great, although glimpse of bathroom, would appear they are mean with the single loo roll 😂

hi there! the mici you ate look nothing like how mici are supposed to look like. i would not have eaten that thing... they were mici only in shape and size, not at all in any other way. they should be made on a barbeque using coals or wood, not on the electric one. they should be tender and soft. and one more thing, mici are eaten with mustard and bread, not ketchup or any other sauce. have a good one! :)

On your quest for mici - that area around Gare de Nord is not great. Lipscani (Piata Unirii) has lots of touristy restaurants. A good place to get cheap mici and which isn’t bad is actually outside Kaufland near Stefan Cel Mare- I’m going there soon

Staropramen is Czech beer :D

You should have just asked anyone around Bucharest Nord for mici! You were just a few hundred meters away from Piatza Matache were there are quite a few places for real street mici! Next time you get there, ask for Piatza Matache (pronounced Matake). By the way, "gi" in covrigi is pronounced like "gi" in Georgia.

Like the little logo rh corner, is that new?

Hy there, Mr. Scott, it was not a good ideea to try street food near the train station. If you could reach to more central areas, than you would get closer to what the real ,,MICI" are, just to summon your experience, some good mici would be twice better than what you've tested, or should I say tasted, and the top mici even thrice better. As for the real COVRIGI, wich are far from the Europeean pretzels, you should have left Bucharest and go to Buzau, a midsized town NE of the capital, and they should be enjoyied warm, soft and definitelly tasty, with salt and ,,semen papaveris" or poppy, that would be the epythome of covrigi, far better than what you've found at the train station. All the best, have some wonderfull Christmass holidays with your family !

Boss go to restaurant,, La Cocoșatu " or ,,Obor" area for the best ,,Mici" in București.

Think I'd get fat if I lived in Romania! 😂

I wonder where you are going next, Brasov in Romania maybe???

Railway station is the worst place you can be in Bucharest! Looking for good "mici" in railway station is like looking for water in Sahara desert.

Did you try to go to a Christmas Fare this period? As far as can saw, they had "mici" there. At Parliament Building (Peoples' House) is a Christmas Fare and there you can find "mici".

Mici are good only fresh made on coal barbecue or at lest something close, not with ketchup but only with mustard and eventually a beer

The apple pie with some cream

You should get together with Bald and Bankrupt. I think the two of you would be hilarious.😂

Find mici at Hanul lui Manuc in the center or the Obor Market!

I know you like trains, but next time you may consider not recording in the middle of the train station :-). But otherwise i love these street food videos

Ask a local where to go when you are hunting for a specific national dish

You eat MICI (mic means small, mici is plural) with mustard not ketchup and not at the train station :D

For local food anywhere, suggest finding a local market and go from there. In London, I wouldn't try Euston over (say) Borough Market.

Yes, in fact the mici at the Piața Obor (Obor market) are renowned.

Mici with ketchup, kinda of a heresy.

Nice video but you eat the MICI the wrong way :) firstly you should not cut it but bite it, and secondly mici are not eaten with ketchup but with mustard. Have fun

Mici is not really a street food, you can surely get it in restaurants, and if you'd like to taste some good ones you can surf the restaurant reviews and see what other people recommend.

@mihaelac2472

Жыл бұрын

Not at restaurants, but at outside grills.The best ones are on charcoal, not on the electric grill.

Mici were available 400metres from the train station, at the Kaufland

Some thing to be taken into consideration: Mici is not really what one would consider "street food", more of a grill speciality that is easy and fast to cook; Mici with ketchup can work but not a good pairing, mustard would be a better fit (or even a mustard-ketchup mix can work); The beer was a good choice, they go well together; North Railway station isn't a great place to look for particularly that kind of food because ideally it would require an open coal fireplace, that would be to much smoke and smell, unsuitable for indoors area like the station; that's why what you are there looked awful (and probably wasn't that great either), it was made on a gas or electric stove/pan.

Scott, if you invented the term/notion of street food safari big five I strongly suggest you patent it or find some other way of ensuring all the credit is yours. Knowing how travel vloggers seem to copy from one another (except you), it won't be long until they are all doing it and you'll be feeling a bit cheated. Great videos - always challenging yourself rather than sitting in a first class seat somewhere whining about there only being five charger sockets and cava instead of champagne!

Sorry Scott but they looked like two jobbies on a plate!

Great videos would love to come on a journey snd hold the camera sick ov being board surrounded by leeches

Omul nu vrea sa paraseasca peronul . Sa-i duca cineva mici pe peron .

you dont go to the train station for street food .... prices are high and u can only get some pastry or some mcdonalds ... find a proper place and you will have a totally different experience .. one more thing , you should have asked , there is a place that sells mici in walking distance from the train station , right near a kaufland , about .... 300 - 400 meters from where u stand in the train station in this video . well .. next time do some research :D

U must eat mici with mustard !! 😅😅

OK, ,,Mici" means small in the plural. Smalls. ,,Mic" means small and ,,mici" means smalls.

Inca nu ai incercat sarmale cu mamaliguta, carnatii de craciun si micii cum se preparau odinioara.

What you ate there that is not mici. Not at all. Sry about that. That meat looks like it was boiled idk what it was but that is not mici.

The “turkey” from Turta cu sunca is actually chicken ham. The Covrigi unfortunatelly are not the one that you should try first, I do suggest you try the big ones next time. I m sorry but as a Romanian, I am sad that the top street food you tried is definitely not the one that we as Romanians do eat them as ROMANIAN STREET FOOD. Next to the railway station, there’s a Kaufland and they do have MICI BUSINESS LUNCH (available all day) and they do have the 2nd best mici in Bucharest. Bucharest North is like 20 minutes walk from the city center, 30 hours is more than enough to visit everything in Bucharest. I m sorry, I love your videos, but this one made me sad 😢

😂 It's just bannock.

Mr Scott did you saw Andrew Tate?

Those mici were not well made at all, they look bad from first glance. Also, you HAVE to dip them in mustard, not ketchup, it's a completely different experience. And yes, they're greasy, that's why they're so tasty, they just need to be cooked a bit more than the ones you had, to the dark brown color and slightly crusty. EDIT: just to clarify, it looks like you've had mici cooked by amateurs and not the real deal. I hope you'll find better next time, I love them.

Eating with all that background noise is bad for the digestion.

Why in Christ did you ONLY stay around the train station, which is old and decrepit...You would have had so many other possibilities elsewhere. Odd

You did not get it the right food because you did not understand the language use your dictionary the corect way. Please stop making negative assumptions about romanian food. Another turist getting stuck in the big city.

To be honest, Bucharest North (and surounding area) is a sh*thole. You need to go to other parts of the city to find good food.

I am liking the look of Romania. I know they have had it rough, what with the Russians and dictators etc but I like the spirit of that place. I bet with a local guide and an open mind it is a blast.
