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.

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 😅 Usually pomana porcului IS a feast, but not in a restaurant lol. You should try an accommodation in Maramureș, especially during winter, they serve the most authentic home made Romanian foods. Their pomana porcului is a feast indeed.

[@descoiatorul]

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.

[@KaTsy112]

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 may be because I'm old school, but, to me, your posts lose a lot of spontaneity when you're sharing with 'Bonnie & Clyde' or you've met up with 'Mork & Mindy'. God!, I enjoyed this SOOO much!!! All the best to you.

[@tatianareinhard2772]

Sibiu ist ein schöne Stadt! Das Essen ist sehr lecker. Nächstes mal soll ihr "papanasi fierti" probieren. Grüße aus Germany!

[@patrickbrookings]

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

[@calichef1962]

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.

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!

[@SandyRiverBlue]

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.

[@TheCAppVIDs]

your review was very accurate. subscribed.

[@frectiedmenthos1]

omg, my mouth is sooo watering right now. you guys have eaten a LOT, hats down, i'm romanian and i can't eat all those amounts of dishes that you tried :) especially that they are super greasy and consistent. thumbs up for that. But guys, you definitely don't know how to eat 'ciorba de burta' 😂 .. Anyways, it was refreshing watching you 👍

[@Theendlessadventure]

Haha, when the food's that good, it's easy to go a bit overboard !😂 We had such a delicious day!

[@rgeta2685]

@@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 " borş" 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"

[@KaTsy112]

@@Theendlessadventure well, that also depends on the region of Romania. No, it's not made with "borș"(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 "borș ", 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.

[@sandratoma1228]

Glad you guys liked Romania and its food! It’s nice to see people visit Romania.

Must try "perisoare" sour soup. It is the best

[@abbussgarcia433]

Great selection, tho for me sarmale and polenta in general needs sourcream on top to complete the dish.

[@aleksandrap.9192]

There is traditional tripe soup in Poland as well, delicious. You should have tried😕 And gołąbki which are similar to sarmale but made of fresh cabbage.

[@mariusm792003]

sarmale can be made with fresh cabbage too...but that it's only the option when cabbage is in season!

[@heather91582]

Love the creepy "eye" buildings! 👁 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!

Pomona porcului and papanasi my all time favourite home cooked Romanian food. Grew up on all this food. Glad you enjoyed.

[@tudor3232]

I dont know that you followed my advise that I left you on Insta,but good choice with Sibiul vechi 👏 Its a crazy weather here and so uncharacteristic,usually this period is hot,very hot 32-36°C with no rain but the global warming have different ideas. In a sunny day I reccomand that you go in 'Muzeul tehnicii populare' there you can admire rural houses from all over Romania and after your tour you can eat at 'Carciuma din batrani'.

[@brisucata4281]

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.

[@ioanabdr]

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)

[@sergiukawa]

Orade noasta-i baza...Rogerius si Cantemir is baza.

@@costixyz8827 the Polish stuff is not so good

[@419ariel47]

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 don’t use pork meat but only rice and other vegetables which we do use it in the “Samale in foi de viță”. We eat them during summer time and lent/ fasting periouds as vegan dishes. Sarmale (STUFFED pickled Cabbage Rolls) became sort of “national” 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! ❤️🇷🇴💕

[@elaineder8914]

Those bread bowl soups, 😋. And that dessert looks absolutely delicious

[@pamelamiller3480]

Sibiu looks so interesting and lovely! The food looks quite heavy for summertime. Are there many fresh vegetables and fruits?

[@umidatsubasa]

Indeed romanian food is quite heavy, that's why we generally eat it together with a side dish such as a white cabbage salad, or tomato salad and many others.

[@pamelamiller3480]

Baron Von Albert Here in the US salad is usually served first but I like mine with or after the main dish

[@pamelamiller3480]

Flav C in the US here at restaurants the salad is always served first as in Canada. I tend to eat salad with or after the main. Makes more sense!

[@inoveo]

you'll find plenty of fresh food there.

[@ancaivan3908]

The food they chose is quite heavy (not the sour soups, but everything else) because they are traditional dishes and they are mostly winter dishes... but we do have a lot of fruit and vegetables. Most of us tend to buy fruit and vegetables from open markets and not supermarkets. Right now, for instance, it's the watermelon season, so everybody eats it.

[@DutchNomadFamily]

For a moment I thought you were at the Tour de France with those cyclists. I think with these dishes you could ride a great ‘etappe’ for sure.

[@OurBrokenDreams]

Dutch Nomad Couple funny you would say that. We are big Tour de France fans in Romania and every etappe the romanian comentators at Eurosport talk about a traditional food from the region the stage is going through and even give you the recipe and post photos on the website

[@DutchNomadFamily]

Cool! Do you like to see TdF yourself? I think those commentators make it interesting to watch and listen to the TdF etappes!. But those dishes in Romania, gorgeous. We have Romania on our travel list for 2019. We talked to a Romanian guy in Mexico and he was so proud! It must be beautiful, especially that curved road you have. Nevertheless, we would love to visit Romania!

[@OurBrokenDreams]

Dutch Nomad Couple Oh yes! I've been watching it with my dad since childhood. It is really thrilling. They joke around, analyse the route and which racer has a better chance, they give us pieces of gossip from the cycling world and even place bets on who they think will win the etappe. We have a beautifull country even though at times I feel it is not well advertised because of our past political aliegencies and my fellow countrymen whom currently live all around Europe. If you have the chance to come you should go to Transilvania or Maramures. The small cities in the mountains have an medieval flare to them because of the Germanic influence they had and also the villages are full of greens and blues, flowery fields, mountains going through the skies, endless forrests, hidden water streams and simple yet kind and inviting people

[@bianca-zh1bb]

In the past Bucarest from Romania was called Little Paris.

[@barvdw]

@@bianca-zh1bb There are other cities that boasted that title, though. Still, having been to Romania twice, now, I must say I liked it very much, especially Sibiu. Brasov was too cold when I was there, but still a very nice city. Bucuresti wasn't that bad, but still a lot of grime, too. And I must admit it didn't help that I got my foot stuck in a manhole, because the manhole cover was a size too small. I had to drag myself to the station and it hurt for the rest of the trip. It made it almost impossible to do a tour in Sibiu, glad I bit through the pain.

[@tatsumurai8265]

It looks like a dish with a mixture of many countries taste. Looks like delicious.
