i'm so proud of you !!! next time put the cream in the soup. and bite on the pepper... but you did good :)
some years ago Sibiu was the cultural capital of the EU and they invested a lot in developing the culture and activities in and around the city. They did a good job of keeping all that going. i'm just commenting along the vid :)
You guys look pretty young... I'm curious, where do you get the money to travel the world from?
Omg this is so funny for me as a roumanian to see you tasting and trying to pronounce all the names . Love you guys!
The Endless Adventure super ..
I read some of the comments below, and I must inform You, as Romanian, that those food are not so heavy. Think it this way, most of the dishes they ordered, are "winter food". In Romania winter can be harsh, with temperatures below minus 30 ' Celsius. You need a lot of protein to survive such a day as an active person. Those are old and traditional food recipes, consumed by people like my grandfather who was a very active man. Try to imagine taking care of a farm and its animals during winter month, without modern technology, all the work was done by hand, feeding the animals, cleaning after them, in some regions of Romania even guarding them against wild life, we have more Wolves and brown bears then the rest of Western Europe combined. You can not do that without proper food.
Each season has some preponderant types of food, for example during spring we eat a lot of fresh salads, fish, lamb ( lamb, strawberries, cherries season in Romania). In summer we eat a lot of vegetable soups, salads, fruits(water melon season for natural hydration) the the temperature can reach plus 40 " Celsius in the shade, so if You eat those winter dishes, You can just die of a heart attack.
To understand the Romanian food You must understand the climate of Central Europe, a temperate Continental type, with huge variation in temperature between seasons. You just can not survive the winters with summer food or other wise.
Gabi Craioveanu f bine explicat gabi. Bravo
Perfectly explained.
Its heavily for people that eat grass like a rabbit lol. I eat the soup sarmale and tocanita đđđ
Vasile Costin I challenge you to look up vegan dishes on youtube, youâd be surprised. There is such a variety or vegetarian and vegan dishes, no one eats âgrassâ
Gabi your comment makes me feel uncomfortable and its obsly not true cuz u can easily survive without eating disgusting stuff like meat even tho u have to take care of your animals or whatever you said lmao
btw Casiana u r right
Man, Hungary, Romania and Croatia REALLY know how to make their soups. So yummy
That's the reason why we always have soup as main dish. THEY'RE DELICIOUS
My favourite is Soup with chicken a la Grec (I don't know the name in English) and periĆoare soup
Elena Whoweiss Ciorba de periĆoare đđ fun little story periĆoare sounds a lot like veriĆoare (cousins). And you better know that our grandma used to get a kick out of making ciorba de periĆoare for me and my cousin whenever we went over.
the best one !
U don't dare to call them soups, our ciorbÄ is a million kilometers away from that...
Ciorba de burta

Yes, Japan is beautiful, too!
Kevin Dauglas There are a couple of Romanian restaurants in Tokyo, I've lived there for a short time and felt a terrible need to eat some food from home. They are quite good, but you have to make a reservation so they will know to prepare fresh food (because many ingredients can't be found in Japan so they need to be frozen).

Guys,pomana porcului literary means: pork s mourning ceremony!..it s realy exactly what people eat after pigs are ceremonialy slaughtered right before Christmas
si nu e nici pe departe ce au primit ei in acel restaurant .....
@@otilialefey8514 tochitura este absolut moldovenesca ! Nu are nimic unguresc .....
THE SAME IN PORTUGAL
I was about to write that, feast is not the right translation for "pomana". The word pomana means charity and it's coming from a Romanian tradition of serving free food to the people who attended a funeral, as a respect paid to the deceased. In this case as a "respect" paid to the pig đ
Usually pomana porcului IS a feast, but not in a restaurant lol. You should try an accommodation in MaramureÈ, especially during winter, they serve the most authentic home made Romanian foods. Their pomana porcului is a feast indeed.

Beautiful people ...Thanks for all the compliments :) This is my country...I am from Cluj-Napoca :)
Hey, guys. First of all, welcome to Romania. Glad to see you're so interested in our culture and cuisine. And boy do you have so much to learn and taste.... I know it's too late now, but a local guide/friend would have been really practical to show you around and explain some of the stuff, like how to eat the tripe soup. I personally don't like the recipe and have never tried it, but I know it's supposed to be eaten with lots of sour cream (the recipe already contains it but some people like more of it), bread, and a jalapeno (because we're a spicy-loving nation). They all have a very precise purpose in creating the final taste experience. The sour cream mellows the garlic taste and the spicyness of the jalapeno, while the latter two mellow the taste of the tripe, which as you have pointed out, has a bitter aftertaste.
Also, the cabbage in the sarmale should not be crunchy. That means that either the cabbage was not boiled enough or (more likely) that the leaves of the cabbage were too old when they were pickled and the fibers were too hard. Pickled cabbage should be soft and when used as an ingredient it should be even softer because it is also boiled in addition to being pickled. Sorry you couldn't taste proper sarmale. It would have knocked your socks off. Usually the best sarmale are made in a different province of Romania, Moldavia (not to be confused with the neighboring Republic of Moldova), particularly in the north part of Moldavia, also known as Bukovina. There you can find amazing painted medieval monasteries and a DOZEN different recipes for sarmale, ranging from vine leaf to pickled cabbage, from meat to mushrooms and carrots etc. I avoid the term sauerkraut because that describes a specific recipe made from pickled cabbage. The ingredient used in sarmale is pickled cabbage, which is fermented in salty broth.
Yeah, that pork feast (pomana porcului) was not the best it could have been. That's usually what you get with tourist-oriented restaurants in the city center, which tend to offer watered-down versions of the traditional recipes because they know foreign tourists will not know the difference. It's a shame, because they're misrepresenting our amazing cuisine. Also, although the translation is somewhat accurate, the word feast is not the best equivalent for the local "pomana". Sure, it has the festive meaning because this was a dish made when people sacrificed their pigs for Christmas (pomana also means a funeral reception, like a mock feast for the dead pig with the pig's meat - we're cheeky like that), but the better translation would be pork extravaganza, because it's meant to be a dish that combines pork meat from various parts of the animal, each with its own flavor. So you see, it's not about the size of the platter, but the variety of the meat.
Most of our dishes are a combination of salt and sour. We have some salty-sweet foods (inherited from the Saxon colonists in Transylvania), but we're mostly a salt and sour loving nation, with a separate sweet tooth reserved for deserts. But if you look closely, every dish is a combination of flavours, because we understood early on how to balance these flavours to make the perfect meal. Nothing should be just fatty or just sour. Everything is balanced either with some fresh onions or pickles to compensate for saltyness or grease, something fresh and sour to mellow spicyness and so on. We are a melting pot of cultures and cuisines and we took inspiration and improved the recipes from all our neighbors and even opressors. We took recipes from the Hungarians and Ottomans, from the Russian and the Tartars, and made them all better, more balanced. Our cuisine makes for a healthy diet thanks to these combinations of fats and fibers. Another key ingredient is moderation. All those foods are meant to be eaten in small quantities nowadays, because they were invented in a time when people needed massive amounts of calories to sustain intense physical effort like working the fields. These days, people working in an office have no need for meals that have 2-3000 calories in a sitting.
BTW, that's definitely raspberry jam. One of the most popular jams we have. There's also strawberry, cherry, sour cherry, red currant, blueberry, plum, apricot, quince and lots of other jam recipes.
Literally the most accurate answer i read here! Bravo! Pity our country is not getting its deserved recognition. But that was truly on point!
I think a good translation for "pomana" would be alms. I agree with you that they should have had a guide with them visiting someones grandma for those recipies.
It's nice to see people from other countries enjoying your favourite foods. I hope you enjoy your staying in our country. If you are in Sibiu don't forget to take a drive on the Transfagarasan. Best wishes from Iasi.
PS If you need infomation of any kind, just ask!

Thank you for being so accurate and respectful towards Romanian food! Awesome job!
Itâs always interesting to see you try foods that most of your subscribers havenât heard of , let alone tried. Cheap beer and excellent savoury foods - I need to visit Romania đ
Tom Murphy go for it. Stop by Cabana Sambata while youâre there. Great hike, great view, and if you have meat with you, then great place for a barbecue. Also the monastary, hotels, restaurants, and events going on in the area are all pretty cool.
Tom Murphy, if it happens for you to have romanian neighbours, pay them a visit at the dinner time. Our tradition is to invite every guest to eat!

PeleÈ Castle is a must see.. I consider that castle being the most beautiful in Romania (its also surrounded by nature.. and tourists haha.. lovely place tho)
Also the Cantacuzino Castle is close to Sinaia too.. its in BuÈteni (7-10 minutes if you go with the train).. In the front of the castle is a place when you can also eat or drink (order) but the view is quite beautiful so yeah.. pretty nice place to eat and drink there too ;)
I'm Romanian .and I miss Romanian so much .thank you for the video
Yes Peles castle is spectacular but the walk from the car park to the castle is a bit of a killer for an old person.... And if you want to see something that will take your breath away visit the parliament building in Bucharest đ
Thanks...enjoying the videos, I have added Romania to my bucket listđ It looks very pretty, and love the architecture and street art.
I don't know why we Central/Eastern Europeans love sour dishes so much, but they taste like home hahađ Excited to go to Romania this summer!
The fact that you ate "mici" and "sarmale" represents yours baptism in this country, and from now on a part of you belongs forever to this country.
I'm kidding, but I really appreciate that you tried those two our kind of food
You also need to visit the cities of Brasov,Cluj Napoca,Targu Mures,Sighisoara and many more:))
And Oradea in terms of unique arhitecture.

Is cabbage Andreea meat and rice i love them
We did too, and we eat those very often so....
The cabbage it keep its crispyness becouse it is soggy gabbage means its keept in salt over the winter period most of times when temperatures are verry low, its Ä tradition for us. Btw there are another type of sarmale used to cover the rice and meat with grape leaves , they are Ä little bit dryer then the once with gabbage but i guess more tasty.

Ciorba is not sour soup, ciorba is a kind of soup that usually is not that transparent and it is âheavierâ (with more meat)
Sour soup is borÈ , but that is traditionally in Moldova, and that is very very tasty:)
Actually ciorba is a type of sour soup. Bors is an ingredient but also used to say âsour soupâ. Have to remember different regions of Romania use words to describe dishes differently.
Come to Bukovina since you're in Romania. It's something that you wanna see. My family has a bed and breakfast that you'll definetly enjoy, it's called Pensiunea La Moara.
the onions you had with the pork - were actually meant for the bean soup :P still great videos!

Romania is for the most part a Christian Orthodox country so there are many people who respect Orthodox traditions requiring them to eat vegan food on certain days, or even for many consecutive days like Easter Fast (Lent for Catholics), Christmas fasting period, and usually on Fridays. So it's not like Romanians gobble up huge quantities of meat on a daily basis. We are perfectly capable of eating vegan food, and if you visit Romania at a time of fasting you will certainly find restaurants who serve classical fasting foods. You can even find cookbooks with "retete de post" although the secret of Romanian food is the high quality of the vegetables (meat and fish too) so the vegetables taste delicious with only a few herbs and spices because they ARE delicious and healthy. Most of the dishes served in restaurants are hearty dishes, meat based, delicious and a lot of them - sarmale, ciorba de burta - also take a long time to prepare and are good in big quantities. One makes sarmale at home for Christmas because it's a family celebration and there will be lots of mouths to feed - extensive family, friends etc, and they freeze really well. But for one portion of sarmale, just find a good restaurant :-). Romania is a country where you really feel the seasons in your food, there are spring dishes, summer dishes, autumn and winter dishes, and "mancare de post" (vegan food). If you are willing to do your research you can find restaurants to your taste no matter if you are a meat eater, lacto-vegetarian (milk and egg products yes, meat no) vegan or whatever takes your fancy. If you want "traditional food" - be prepared for quite a lot of meat. This is our history, the most loved traditional foods in Romania are meat-based. There are exceptions, mostly appetizers (zacusca, eggplant salad, fasole batuta - a cream of white beans similar to hummus -) but for the most part if you want traditional food you will eat meat, and not even a vegan snowflake can change culinary history.

Haha, when the food's that good, it's easy to go a bit overboard !đ We had such a delicious day!
@@Theendlessadventure hello guys the way you describe our food make me instant to subscribe
So...the sourness that you felt in soop usually romanian have it from " borĆ" we use it fior all the year is made from fermentation of ground grains mixture (like sweet corn etc)...
+during the summer in different parts of Romania they use even green grapes or "corcoduse"
@@Theendlessadventure well, that also depends on the region of Romania. No, it's not made with "borÈ"(borsch as u probably know it) but with either lemon juice or vinegar. That "ciorba de burta". The rest of our broths are usually made with that "borÈ ", and/or sour cream. That sour cream that came with your broth, you add it in the bowl of broth, gives a creamier texture. The garlic, same. If you want it more garlicky, or spicy, just add that in your bowl. Most people here also eat that pepper along with the broth, though personally, i think my mouth is on fire afterwards, so i say no thanks. One more tipp, romanians never eat bread and polenta with the same dish. Polenta takes the place of the bread. Hope u guys had lots of fun, despite the weather.
Love love the food videos!!! Woohoo!
Oh I love stuffed cabbage, we eat that a lot on my Polish side of the family!
Glad you guys liked Romania and its food! Itâs nice to see people visit Romania.
Pomona porcului and papanasi my all time favourite home cooked Romanian food. Grew up on all this food. Glad you enjoyed.
Haha, you guys are both hilarious and adorable how you get so excited over food and everything in general, it's really nice how you see the positive side of things around you :) the jam was probably forest fruits jam so ya, mixed berries :)
Thanks so much for the comment! We had an absolutely delicious day đ
@@Theendlessadventure if it's the proper 'papanasi' it would have been home made sour cherry jam, not mixed berries :)
Hi Dear
Ah! Ciorba de burta! Yum!
i love it when i see foreigners eating our food with passion, eat all you can, enjoy the taste! safe travels!!!:)
Watched the whole series while getting ready for work and I almost ruined my make up tearing ... I love all of your videos about my country and I miss it so much after watching you guys enjoying... I do hope you had a good time and that you'll visit Romania again. All that food...oh,my... multumesc!!!
Love your food videos guys! Hope you're doing the Dracula element that you missed in Whitby, Yorkshire. If you're heading to Bulgaria or if not there already, try and check out Sliven and Karnobat, very local, and drink Kamenitza!
I love seeing someone else discover how to eat Romanian foods, brings back childhood memories of experimenting with the components, mixing and matching at the table. It's just so Romanian.
I made the mistake of watching this video during the Coronavirus lockdown and now I'm crying cos the food looks amazing and I'm starving for them!!! Very well made video with honest and accurate descriptions, I lived in Romania for over 5 years and still can't get enough! Bravo for venturing out of your comfort zone cos it is so worth it! Love from Bucharest â€ïžđ·đŽ
Love the creepy "eye" buildings! đ And that inside-out jelly donut looked amazing.
I have had this recurring dream since I was little of being on a flight to Romania, getting off at the airport and then getting lost in a town that looks similar to that. I don't know why I dream it...I have no connections or real interest in Romania?? But, pretty cool nonetheless. Can't wait to see the Dracula tour!
How random! The streets can get a bit curvy, but we think you'd find your way just fine đ
Just let me know when you are coming to visit Romania, maybe i'll be your tour guide because I love your excitement.
Boo!!
It'll be awesome i can tell you that for sure!
your review was very accurate. subscribed.
Man, that smoked bean soup, served in a bread bowl with red onions on the side is...heavenly! Everybody should try it at least once in their lifetime!
Thank you for the nice review of our country, I hope you had fun!
you should visit also Brasov and Cluj, but of course Oradea is the most beautiful. We have the most beautiful city center, we have Nymphea Aquapark, we have Baile Felix and Baile 1 Mai, thermal water resorts. We call this part of the country Ardeal, but the tourists know it as Transilvania. And by the way, you are good, I mean you are very good in what you do, the way you present food and the town and the places. I envy you for having such a life. And we are used to be the last country in European Union in every field, so it feels good when I see somebody telling so many wonderful things about my country. I am from Oradea, you should really visit it. Thank you and good bye.
I second that! Oradea's eclectic arhitecture will blow you away! If your plan is to head East of Romania, do not miss Oradea! And there are some very cool places, like Meatic Restaurant where you can eat "modernised" versions of other tradional foods you haven't tried yet like zacusca or pita cu clisa (that is greasy bacony stuff on bread)
Orade noasta-i baza...Rogerius si Cantemir is baza.
Hmm I havenât heard much about Oradea, I should think of visiting
Oradea is a 900 years old city, it has a fortress, and many many beautiful old buildings, the Black Eagle Palace, the new amazing city center, the Nymphea Aquapark, The Baile Felix just 8 km from the city, so a must see city.
Oradea is not in the east...
That dessert looks amazing!
Family Travel Vlog, and it taste amazing,it's my favorite!!!(I'm romanian)
Papanasi is the best dessert in Romania
Papanasi :)
Really glad to see different people trying our native dishes. Hope you will visit us more.
I'm from Buzau Romania thanks for this. I hope you enjoyed Sibiu.
Sarmale Èi pomana porcului i love themđđđ
Great selection, tho for me sarmale and polenta in general needs sourcream on top to complete the dish.
You rightđ
and a small pickled pepper
You guys, I'm so happy I stumbled upon your videos, they're really great and informative. I am glad you enjoyed your stay here in Sibiu, you chose wisely the locations for eating, really good ones with delicious food. Hopefully, you'll come back and maybe the weather will be nicer then. It is very interesting watching foreigners enjoying things and places we are already so used to that we don't get to appreciate them as much...loved your reviews and hope you will come back for more exploring.
Thanks so much for the comment! It's always hard trying to find delicious places that tourists and locals both enjoy. And even with the rain, we had such a great and delicious time in Sibiu đ
Hello, great job guys, your comments are not stupid and I appreciate all the details you gave, carry on .
Yet another amazing vlog, I am so hungry now, lol!
By the way, what's with that house staring at us in the opening scene? :D
Yes! That's exactly what they are for. Also, in the summertime, they can be opened to vent out all the hot air that has risen from the lower floors all day. It really helps the houses to cool off in the evenings.
There is traditional tripe soup in Poland as well, delicious. You should have triedđ And goĆÄ bki which are similar to sarmale but made of fresh cabbage.
sarmale can be made with fresh cabbage too...but that it's only the option when cabbage is in season!
I'm so glad that exist peoples from other countries who like to do videos about Romania. Keep it like this! Kisses from heređđ
WOW so much food, you are very adventurous with your cuisine đ„° I'm loving how you describe all the culinary delights đ
Man, wait a minute. "Dracula" or Vlad ÈepeÈ, how the ruler is called was confused with his father, Vlad Dracul who gained The Dragon Order and from here comes the name. And Vlad ÈepeÈ ruled in Wallachia, another historicaly province of Romania. Speaking of food romanians are meat eaters due to the climate where we are. To survive we need a lot of food because, like my father said, you can't pass a winter only with a tomato salad. In your country you don't eat much meat because hotter it becomes, less meat you eat. VÄ salut din RomĂąnia! Sarmale is the best
Probleme?????đđčđż
Must try "perisoare" sour soup. It is the best
You have no idea how many delicious and original dishes you can find there.
Its really cool to see other people try these things for the first time especially knowing how they taste.
the only bad thing is my mouth is watering right now.
You must try "Ciorba de perisoare" the red version with tomato paste. More "Mititei / Mici" . Also the Sibiu sausage salami is pretty famous. You could also try "Langos" or "Placinte cu cartofi" .
Everything you recommended them to eat is delicious and just by reading this I'm home sick:( I miss Romanian food so much,so I think my only option is to start cooking:)
@Dan danut ciorba de perisoare=meatballs sour soup..au si ei ceva de genul acolo.
Ciorba de perisoare si ciorba de fasole sunt favoritele mele :D (top 3) .. urmata de cea de pui
Dar n-am fost niciodata adeptul ciorbei de burta. Nu-mi place de nicio culoare.. si n-as recomanda-o niciunui strain :)) (dar mna.. opinie personala)
Those bread bowl soups, đ. And that dessert looks absolutely delicious
It looks like a dish with a mixture of many countries taste.
Looks like delicious.
Thanks for share i
Romanian culinary. Like ot đ My Romanian husband proud of his best chesse, fresh fruit and fresh vege in the country side too. We am looking forward to visit Romanian soon.
you shouldâve went to cluj itâs probably the nicest city in romania and i traveled the whole country đ
It s a nice city. Getting better every year. Except the traffic, hate the traffic. I guess it comes with development and progress. Love from Cluj!
We call sarmale sarma in the country Iâm from and itâs so good đ€€đ€€
Where are you from? Serbia,... Poland,maybe Croatia.
@@costixyz8827 the Polish stuff is not so good
Sarma is a Turkish origin word ( and good) used also in Greek as a food. It is a Mediterranean origin food spread out in Romania since the Fanariot age. Regardless the origin Romanians brought in their own touch ( Turkish donât use pork meat but only rice and other vegetables which we do use it in the âSamale in foi de viÈÄâ. We eat them during summer time and lent/ fasting periouds as vegan dishes. Sarmale (STUFFED pickled Cabbage Rolls) became sort of ânationalâ gastronomic stamp for the Romanian cuisine .
Great Job! You can see that all Romanians here watching your video and living living abroad are literally drooling! â€ïžđ·đŽđ
Guys, I freaking love you. Seeing you travel through Romania, which is where Iâm from, makes me so happy for some reason. Ive been binge-watching your vlogs for like 3h already đđ
gotta tell you guys, i'm from Brasil and some of these dishes made me mouth watering. Would really like do try some of them someday. Looking forward to it
