Must eat foods in Romania and our favorite Timisoara restaurant

[@kafka27]

My brother-in-law from Norway is so in love with Romanian food that he visits Romania twice a year just to eat Romanian food

[@teepsfam]

I could understand why! it's so good

[@kafka27]

@jerryevert644 The ingrediens are Romanian ECO..... the pigs /cows /chickens are fed with only ECO as is was before 300 years ago..Therefore any food taste is different from any other country... you Sherlock

[@teepsfam]

@jerry evert I'm sure he loves rhe whole experiece

Hey guys. The polenta that you guys saw in every dish is instead of bread.

Hope you enjoyed your visit, should you plan a part 2 in Romania try the northern parts Maramures, Bucovina, it has many UNESCO world heritage wooden churches and of course stunning landscapes, or the south-east with the Danube Delta, a little Amazonian experience in Europe, safe travels for you and your family :)

[@teepsfam]

that is a great tip. we'd love to go see those sites. thank you!

[@harryp3963]

Haha, that was so delicious to watch you guys enjoying the papanasi! 😄Can't wait to try out that restaurant now!

[@teepsfam]

hi from romania . nice video

[@teepsfam]

[@veneps]

we romanians love heavy food lol, americans too but we probably eat more pork than you guys, americans prefer beef instead :D right? anyway im glad you guys enjoyed my country, hope you didnt have any shitty encounters while you were here, you will always be welcomed here

[@teepsfam]

Thank you! We had a wonderful stay, can't wait to come back.

[@teepsfam]

Great video guys! Happy to see you enjoying Romania!

[@teepsfam]

it's hard not to love romania!

[@sergerea]

Tastes PAPANASI...right hand drops...left hand goes to the forhead and then straight to the heart...yep, it looks about right...Papanasi, 23 LEI, your reaction...PRICELESS!!! I carefully watch most of the videos about Brasov released by international youtube vlogers and for some reason the ladies 100% fall irremediably in love with this desert...lol, I hope you enjoyed ;)

[@teepsfam]

it's just soo good

[@mariusalinpostolache1179]

​@@teepsfamWow. 😂😂❤❤

[@fisichella78]

Is pronounced Me-oh-ree-tza. Great vid guys. Best of luck from Timisoara

[@cipaku]

The sarmale are actually made with pickled cabbage or vine leafs is why they have the sour taste that fits so well with the sweetness of the meat. We pickle most of the vegetables but most common are cabbage and vine leafs (for sarmale) cucumber and green tomatoes (as a side dish for other foods). We don't pickle meat or eggs tho stay away with that sorcery! :)

[@teepsfam]

ha ha I'll take that advice!

[@ardeiuti]

Glad you liked it. And,oh,hubby is sooooo lucky...

[@teepsfam]

thank you

[@Deivil007]

in Romania usually the winters are harsh and long Tons of farmers and agriculture/animal husbandry isn't industrialized so a lot of heavy labor for us We need that meat man no way we can survive on vegan diets!

[@teepsfam]

I saw that, very hard workers with very strong resolve! lovely people.

[@Monas99]

The name of the restaurant is Miorita from Timisoara..

[@teepsfam]

thank you, everyone should eat there!

[@andreiko3702]

I guess you guys miss this Papanasi while re-watching this video :P

[@teepsfam]

absolutely!

[@costelbanasu6447]

Polenta ... is a big difference between grinded corn and milled corn. Italians make polenta with milled corn , is basically a flour . Grinded corn is different and makes mamaliga different .

[@teepsfam]

great info! thank you

[@r.e.ddienstleistungen1676]

My Bosnian fiancé is obsessed with the Romanian food but the Muslim version of it without pork, I make him everything and anything. Let me know if you need recipes i will be more than happy to give you my family’s recipes for anything you like ❤️

[@teepsfam]

that would be awesome!

[@r.e.ddienstleistungen1676]

@@teepsfam ok, I’m starting with the sarmale recipe: INGREDIENTS: 2 x pickled cabbage, a cup of round grain rice, 1 kg of minced beef/pork, tomato sauce (preferably the one used for Italian pasta), salt, black pepper, red pepper powder, dried parsley, dried dill, sunflower oil, 2 large onions PREPARATION: 1. Take the cabbage and put it in clean warm water so the sourness comes off, change the water 2-3 times depending how sour you like it. 2. After the cabbage is up to your taste, start and prepare the leaves, you open them one by one and cut the hard parts from them ( the part that looks like a line in the middle of each leaf, from one leaf you should make 2 sarmale) after you prepare all of them it’s starting the cooking 3. Clean the onions, wash them in cold water for 2-3 min so you don’t cry cutting them and start cutting them very small, after you cut them put them in the pan with the oil( don’t be shy when putting the oil that’s the best part in sarmale). 4. In the same time that the onions are SLOW cooking in the oil, you wash the rice and after add him also on top of the onions, add the tomatoes sauce, salt, pepper, paprika powder and the dry parsley and dry dill( add more salt and condiments because after when you mix it with the meat it’s perfect) 5. After 10-15 minutes of slow cooking this mixture you put it on the meat and mix with your hands ( it should feel really soft, and the meat should be also sucking the oil and fat from the mixture) 6. The last step is to make the sarmale but that you can find on KZbin or on google I don’t really know how to explain it in words it’s something that you learn in slowly in time the more you make them the more better they will look. 7. After you packed them and put them in a deep pot for the oven, add water on them just enough to cover them and Thymian ( this is the secret of my oma Thymian make your house smell like Christmas) cook them for 1-2 h on low heat and enjoy them with sour cream, spicy pepper and bread or polenta. Also if you have smoked meat from a Romanian shop or something that you really like that’s smoked you can put it between the sarmale before you add the water it will add more flavor . PS don’t be scared to taste the mixture of meat and rice for salt and condiments before cooking it’s tasty also uncooked. Let me know after you try them what recipes you want more❤️✌️

[@r.e.ddienstleistungen1676]

@@teepsfamalso Papanași are very easy to make, the problem is that you will not find the cheese and sour cream for them I live in Germany and I try to make them with whatever I find here but they don’t come even close that’s the only problem when trying to cook Romanian food outside of Romania, the ingredients are not it sadly. Also you should try fried pommes with eggs, salty cheese on top and smoked sausages if you really like potatoes ( homemade made fries tho).

[@alexandrulukacs7910]

Next time you come in Timișoara, you have to try the food from the place called Curtea Berarilor. I went there a couple times with my dad, and it never left me dissapointed.

[@teepsfam]

we will definitely need to!

* * The sad part is that Romania is a very beautiful country with amazing people...but the poverty level is high and normal people can hardly afford basic food...not to mention going to restaurants...! Restaurants are for tourists or the few people that can afford once a month to eat out! * * ..................That music was way too loud and hardly able to hear you guys!!!

[@andreinecula6707]

Do u still live in Romania? Because i have seen a lot of comments like this coming from people who leaved the country 10-15-20 yrs ago and have no clue about whats going on in Romania now !!! They are poor ppl in Romania, like in any other country, but if u work hard and want to make a good living, that is not a problem. Stop talking crap about ur country, things have changed

[@gt-c-]

@@andreinecula6707 ...if you saw "a lot of comments like this"...then they may be correct? There is a GOOD reason good people left that country and continue leaving. And they are replaced by garbage from Asia... Grow a brain and learn to ACCEPT THE TRUTH even if you do not like it! Read again my initial comment...it is referring to "normal people"...which is the majority...not people like you that are NOT normal! And NO...I do not live there...(it is NOT my country), but I travel a lot including RO!

[@sensation2327]

I greet you from the Netherlands, of course I'm Romanian, I'm glad you liked the food, I hope you visit nature in the future, find a lot of cabins with places you rarely see in the world, thank you for visiting my country that I love, apart from politicians ha ha ha, just fine I wish you🌻🌾🌷🌼

Very interesting video! Thanks to the author of the channel for this fascinating video! It is interesting to see how people live in other countries! It is very important to know foreign languages on such trips. I would like to recommend to all travelers a practical guide to learning foreign languages by Yuriy Ivantsiv "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages". This book contains a lot of useful tips on how to learn a foreign language for tourists, students, entrepreneurs and anyone who needs a foreign language in life. There are a lot of good tips on how to solve problems with the language from beginner to advanced level of language learning. It turns out that the traveler only needs to know a few dialogues and you can easily travel around the world! You don't have to spend a lot of time to fully learn a foreign langua

Thank you, sounds great
