I think we all can all agree on one thing.
Romanian food is delicious.
Coming to Romania is a must for any travel enthusiast and food lover because there is such a richness in terms of traditional cuisine, that your senses will be absolutely spoiled with amazing and intense flavors. Romanian cuisine may not be as fancy as French cuisine, and it isn't too spicy or too complicated either. But it is interesting and inviting, and it is the perfect comfort food!
Here are some examples of Romanian food that will leave your mouth watering, for sure!
1. Sarmale (Cabbage Rolls)
These stuffed cabbage rolls are actually of Turkish origins, but the Romanians claim that theirs are the best.
And they are probably right.
2. Ciorba de burta (tripe soup)
When it comes to tripe soup, you either love it or hate it. This traditional food has a very strong aroma and a velvety texture which is the result of several hours of work.
3. Balmos
100% Romanian, balmoș is a traditional shepherd dish, a genuine tribute to the famous mamaliga, which will blow your mind when tasting it. It's fatty, it's buttery and sticky, it's soft and silky like a cream but heavy and rich in taste, and it has tons of cheese in it.
4. Mici
Also known as mititei, they are the most popular Romanian grill dish, and they are so loved that there is absolutely no Romanian who can imagine a proper barbecue without them.
5. Salata de vinete (Roasted Eggplant Salad)
One of the most cooked and eaten Romanian appetizers, the eggplant salad is the perfect choice for a quick snack and an amazing starter for a traditional Christmas dinner. It is easy and cheap to make, and you can top it with tomatoes or feta cheese.
6. Papanasi with sour cream and jam
A traditional dessert originating from the northern part of the country but popular among all Romanians, being available in almost every restaurant.
