What Romanian food is like

preparetoserve.... What Romanian food is like.

[@Ana-Olivia135]

It's just so fascinating to see a foreigner's perspective of what and how we eat! I didn't even realise that we ate bread with pretty much everything haha, but now that it's been pointed out it seems true.

impressive how you`ve nailed the essence of every type of food,right to the point with the describings,honest and accurate.

[@DeeNailsX]

Thank you for talking so nice about my country and showing respect for new cultures that's very rare to see lately. I live in the USA and I miss our traditional foods so bad and it's hard to make them like they're made at home

[@Pain5k]

sarmale is the meaning of life :D

[@virgil6892]

Sarmale is turkey food.

[@Alexis-ur2ih]

[@Calinn86]

one small correction: traditionally, you don t eat sarmale with bread, you serve it with polenta and (though i m not sure this is what you call it in america) sour cream.

Thank you for this video. A lot of Romanians needed to hear a foreigner talk beautifully about Romania. I am one of them. You made me miss my country now,and the food,oh God the food !!

[@FanDarylDixon]

I love this guy and the way he makes our country sound amazing. Maybe it is but we're just used to all this stuff.

[@calinmisaras6348]

You are one kind person. Thank you for visiting my country and talking so sweet about it.

[@delialubanovici1518]

I stumbled across this video and I am so happy i did. I love how integrated he got into the culture. I'm Romanian and he is ABSOLUTELY correct on everything he said.

[@cristic767]

9:40 "piftie", is named also "răcitură" in Romanian Moldavia. That "jello" is so tasty because is made by boiling the bones. So, basically is a thick soup, an over-boiled soup of bones. All the taste is getting out from bones, that's why is so good. :) Very thick soup, in the winter's cold = "jello". :)

[@ebi9670]

[@alexandraartenie3632]

Thank you for spreading around our cuisine. I am glad that you liked it. There are tons of varieties of the food you described in all the regions of Romania. Maybe if you have time you can explore some of them and see which one you like best :D

[@constantingaleata3529]

Come back to Romania, you are welcome, and i appreciate the respect that you have for our cuisine. Next time you come, for "suc" try " Scoata " it's made out of elderflower. All my respect for you ! I wish you the best !

[@andreice2674]

I really appreciate your video and you have my full respect for talking so kind about my country. Next time while in Bucharest I will buy the first 3 round :)) ... and at the end a "shawarma" with extra pickles for hangover. Iti urez multa sanatate !

[@hooligansgamingro9364]

Nice, i'm glad that Romanian culture and food is tasted and liked in other countries , i like what you did , keep it this way! Pofta buna !

[@alissa81ali]

Dear +qpae123, Romania did exist before and after the Ottoman oppression, we didn't conquer any territories but joined all the 3 Romanian countries in one. Also we have different culinary influences from peoples that have either dominated or lived on our country's geographical space over the years.

[@marrydruli]

"Am tăiat un porc" I really cracked up at that one.

[@contraxro]

Dear Darwin, thank you for speaking so beautiful about Romania. Sometimes Romanians tend to forget how beautiful this place is, and God sends a guy like you just to remind them how lucky they are. Look at all those positive comments and see how many people, myself included, did you manage to make happy, by talking about the bright side of this country. Thank you again and God bless you too!

[@Emperor_Of_Mankind]

I like the fact he's salivating when talking about some of the food ... I can tell he was reliving the experience. I'm glad you enjoyed the food of my native lands. Maybe one day you'll return on your own.

[@gina179]

I used to know Heyrend, he and a few more americans had Easter dinner at my house 2 years ago! His Romanian was perfect!

[@LV7agent]

Yes we eat bread with everything :)) , i heard people eating apples and grapes with bread, you should definitely come to a Transilvanian city, and try some good stuff

[@mdragneel6435]

My dad eats rice with bread and potatoes with bread. And also with branza de oaie (=sheep cheese). I also am a big fan of branza de oaie.

[@solbandtulcea1750]

Gogosi is known as Donuts for us romanian ! and nothing to do with american donuts !

[@biancarusanescu2644]

Yeah! 😁

[@psmith85channel5]

Kebab and shwarma can be good but aren't really Romanian. Try tochitura (good with muraturi), bulz, mamaliga with fried fish, ciorba de burta, fasole cu afumicat (beans with smoked sausage). Very interesting food and great cheeses and soups. Tuica is also very good

[@gothicu]

I like how other people describe romanian food, most of the food he talks about can be found in the US but in another variation. I'm from Romania and for some time now I found our food a bit too fat for my taste, but even if I find it fat and we do eat a lot of pork this food is much more healthy than fast food. Big like for the video, I can see you liked our food I also hope you enjoyed the country as well.

[@kevinolesik1500]

did you try any of the Romanian Plum Brandy ? ... also doubles as paint thinner

[@LifeyApp]

Kevin Olesik so actually none of the interviewees on our youtube channel drink alcohol :) That's neat it can be used as a paint thinner though!

[@solbandtulcea1750]

Kevin Olesik This drink is called " PALINCA " and it is served in west country ! Lower drink is TUICA ! The difference between them is : PALINCA ( 89 or 90 Alchool ) and Tuica is ( 45 or 65 alchool)

[@clauclaudiu3654]

Bogdan Ichim daca tu poti sa bei alcool de 90% esti cel mai smecher bautor de tarie .... palinca are in jur de 55%

[@aszilike]

Kevin Olesik palinka is 55-65% made from plum, apple or even pear but that too expensive to produce. These can be considered national, traditional drink ;)

Saorma is not romanian food ! it is imported from turkey and muslim areas ! It is very popular now !

[@LifeyApp]

Bogdan Ichim good to know, thanks for sharing that info!

[@hulyefasz7043]

***** true not Romanian ... but in Turkey they have specific shawarma wraps with specific ingredients... but in Romania they use all kinds of ingredients... (you would never see a traditional shawarma with potatoes and so on...)

[@solbandtulcea1750]

i never eat turkish traditionaly saorma ! Well i can tell you another food that we use to serve as traditional food : Iahnia de fasole or Fasole cu ciolan ! All of this foods bases on beans . You should try some ! Sanatate si noroc in activitatea de zi cu zi !

[@aszilike]

Bogdan Ichim I just lived 1 year in Turkey, the shaorma here is called Durum. that mens wrapped. mainly chicken meet whit some tomato and onion wrapped togheter. thats all. the romanian shaorma has potato and bigger variety of vegetables ;) i would choose the romanian shaorma thoo

[@biancarusanescu2644]

First of all, it's called shawarma, and it's ROMANIAN. I am a Romanian and they are very well known in Romania, not Turkey.

[@Emiliaa07.]

ohhh i love your romanian pronunciation!! :) you're still in Romania? where you lived here?

[@babbonatale6342]

The bread thing is hilarious but true, there's a joke that says: What did the Romanian do when they "found" the baguette? Ate it with bread... :D

[@biancapetri5413]

Thank you so much for talking good about my country..😉

[@ancalyme]

I had to google piftie - racituri is my favourite winter dish. We always have it around new years in my family.

[@iordachesilviu2371]

ty for kind presentation.

[@ghp0518]

I'm guessing you haven't tried original "tochitura" (- translation is something similar to melted) . It's done like this: You put pieces of really fresh pig meat and pieces of the pig fat , maybe some smoked home-made sausage and slices of liver into a big iron cauldron pour some white or rose dry wine and salt and just let it boil for some time in the wine and melted fat, stirring it from time to time, when it's done serve it with some "mamaliga" (polenta) and "branza de burduf" (sheep fermented cheese), it is literally the best thing ever.

[@mariusiacob8345]

Cineva scria aici ca tipul este roman si vorbeste foarte bine engleza. Si ce, face o treaba foarte buna. Din cate am vazut eu in acest clip vorbeste foarte bine despre o parte din Romania.

suc = juice , nectar is non fizzy juice and is with pulp and things from the fruit

[@sMaX941]

Man I've benn watching videos like this and nobody I mean nobody says anything about ,,mici"

[@r3d0ct]

Piftia is like a jelly: mostly pork made, very garliclly but it's also made from chicken or, as this guy said turkey, basically is any meaty bone food that can give you a jelly (high gelatine content), meat added! So let's say headcheese is an example even though is not really a piftia but it's close to the idea.(in headcheese bones are removed, it's not so condimented and pork is the source!) Or as an italian chef said: best thing that you can do out of pork! And as usual, Romanians do it as a delicacy! Only for Holidays!

[@irasthewarrior]

Try sarmale with a red onion on a separate dish. Cut it in smaller pieces and put some salt on it. It's awesome.

[@AlexandruMarginean1]

the piftele are made from (i dont know to say in english but is the thing which is in the sarmale without the rice .... the thing which is used for bolognese spaghetti sauce) . Not from left parts :|. The meat is combined with garlic and some green things and cooked

[@georgeiceman867]

Nu a spus piftele ci piftie (racitura) de asta a spus ca avea bucati din urechea porcului sorici etc.

[@orlylazar]

Dude you don't know what you are talking about,they both are made from ground pork but Sarmale contain aprox. 3/4 pork, 1/4 rice,onions salt ,pepper,cabbage or grape leaf casings and are boiled with95% water and5% tomatoe puree ,thyme....and piftele are 100% meat ,egg,onions,garlic,parsley,dill,flour,salt,pepper, paprika and are shallow fried....what you were saying about bolognaise is just non sense.

i'm surprised that Romanian food has Arab taste in it. For example Shawarma, is a Lebanese one, you will see it everywhere on all streets if you come to all Arab countries, Shorba is also an arabic soup, most of the time we drink Shorba on Ramadan after breaking our fast. Salata also sounds like an Arab side dish that i now . i'm From Dubai btw.
