Esse vídeo é demais. Esse canal, a gente assiste com suavidade e sem cansar. Essa bebida,Êiron,( se pronuncia com o N no final), é feita com coalhada síria e não com IOGURTE. Esses dois lácteos, são diferentes.🌻

Ficamos muito felizes com as palavras Salma! obrigado pelo carinho. Ahh entendemos! Faz mais sentido ser uma coalhada síria, obrigado pela dica, logo vamos para Turquia e vamos falar mais dele lá.

That building at 5:20 is built in 1935 and it was a modernist style. RON is New Romanian Leu, used to be ROL but due to very high inflation in the 90s, 4 zeroes were removed (so 10k ROL became 1 RON). Starbucks and US style fast food is somewhat disliked in most of Europe. And Starbucks is kinda like coffee soda, not proper coffee. Oh and in Italy, don't go inside a Starbucks, it's almost as much of a sacrilege as putting ketchup on pizza lol. The South of Europe prefers espresso, in Romania some prefer espresso, others boiled so more like Turkish coffee.' Also, I am assuming that covrig was with sour cherries, not normal cherries. In Romanian cherries is cirese and sour cherries is visine so different fruits. Anyway, Turkey is nice and has good food too so the 3 months there should be nice.

And biscuits salami, during communist times there was like 1 type of chocolate and kinda horrible plus maybe rarely some Chinese chocolate that was way better than the locally produced one but much worse than the average chocolate today. And in this context, biscuits salami and home made chocolate (ciocolata de casa), were chocolaty things people could easily make at home with just a few ingredients. And it used to be made round so kinda like a salami. Oh and you have to try bombe the next time you visit, it's a chocolaty round thingy usually made for Xmas and inside there is a sour cherry from visinata- with the seed still inside so don't break any teeth And the taste that Bia doesn't like is rum or rum essence. It's used quite a bit in Romania in desserts. Rum in Romanian is rom. On the upside, Romanian desserts are not always sweet and even sweet ones are not super sweet, except maybe b-day cakes.

We're on the team of strong/double espresso. Starbucks was just for seasonal drinks, but we found better and cheaper options at TED's and 5toGo. Thanks for sharing the history behind the salami biscuits. It's true, we didn't find anything too sweet in Romanian dishes.

@@biaedoug Do try Turkish coffee while in Turkey, it's mandatory. And yeah, Starbucks is also not the most affordable. Also Turkey is a huge producer of pistachio. And an oddity, halva in Romania and Bulgaria is made with sunflower seeds.

Actually, i have a suggestion for next time, a very different format but might be a bit much, too complex. Breakfast tends to be cold cuts, cheese paired with something green. Also eggs, gem are an option. And here can be a different types of cold cuts, a bunch of cheeses and even different ways to make eggs. Lunch first a soup then a second dish that's moire consistent, then dessert. And soups, 10-15 can be mentioned, second dish lots and desserts, many dozens so lots of options. Cozonac has to be mentioned, sarmale and cozonac are kinda the 2 mandatory dishes in Romania. And dinner can be cold cuts and the likes or even more like lunch but in this context you could go with bread spreads cos there are a bunch and worth mentioning .Zacusca, eggplant salad, fish eggs salad, salata de beuf, fish paste (pasta de peste), even pateu (pate), untura, smashed beans (can be a bread spread but not only). You can also do a picnic or grill section with mici, grilled slanina, fat dripping (from slanina being grilled over an open flame) on bread or toast+ onions., cabanos. Somewhere in cold cuts or Xmas section or both tobă, caltabosi, jumari, soric, sangerete, For Easter drob de miel ( it's kinda like a lamb haggis). Also pickles are common. And kompot to some extent. Oh Romania has good mushrooms too. There can be a section with unusual things, some examples piftie, tobă, caltabos, sangerete, pork bran, tripe soup, mancare de pipote, mancare de gutui, mancare de ceapa, urzici. For liquids, sana, pine tree syrup, elderflower lemonade (these 2 are not something consumed often but they are kinda different) and ofc tuica/oalinka, visinata, afinata. And Romania is also a major producer of wine and has been making wine for many thousands of years so some wines can be added too. Anyway, that's the basic structure but hundreds of dishes can be mentioned so that's kinda difficult.

Wow, that's a whole lot of foodie wisdom you've dropped on us! We totally missed out on the Cozonac :( Next time we're in Romania, we're definitely going to dive into all the goodies you've mentioned. The unusual foods section? Bring it on! haha We tried the tripe soup here in this week Bulgaria and it was super tasty. Can't wait to see how the Romanian version stacks up. Thanks a ton for sharing all this

@@biaedoug People are gonna mention dishes that are known to be liked by tourists and not mention boring normal things. And cozonac is not all that spectacular, it's a sweet bread kinda of thing and best home made - likely there was plenty in the Xmas market but while not all that spectacular, it's very traditional. And slanina (salo) is very Romanian but many tourists might need a bit of practice with it before they like it. Zacusca, foreigners tend to like it but Romanians don't know that. And there are lots of dishes that can be mentioned, many more than i have mentioned, literally hundreds. But maybe a core thing is the types, in the Balkans in general cold cuts and white cheese and veggies or pickles are important. And in Romania lots of soups, bread is important, strong drinks, mustard, sour cream, onions, garlic. And lots of things are home made, likely for 3 main reasons, first because urbanization is relatively lwo and second because during communist times, it was hard to find things in stores, plus home made is better quality and cheaper. Also, and this is a broader thing than just home made, in climates with winter, so when there are no crops, people still need to eat so there was a need to figure out ways to preserve foods - hence smoiked, salted meats, sausage, salamis, kompot, zacusca, tomato sauce (bulion), pickles and so on. For soups folks are gonna mention tripe and beans but chicken noodle soup is very common and quite traditional actually. Or supa cu galuste replaces the noodles with some dumplings, worth trying. Meatball soup (ciorba de perisoare) is quite good. Supa pasata ( maybe translated as vegetable or legumes cream) is quite common. Fish soup is a must try. Interesting ones and more for the summer maybe letuce soup and Erva-armola soup (used the term in Portuguese, figured would be easier than in Eng). Mushroom soup/cream is ok. And there are lots more, tomato, cabbage, potatoes. Sibiu salami is the most exported salami but there are plenty more types. Plescoi sausages get some PR but there are many different types and nothing can beat home made fresh pork sausage. Sana is like sour milk or kefir but Romanian. And dishes can vary from region to region, then in the Danube Delta everything is fish based. It's such a broad topic it's hard to summarize it or to mention enough dishes. And there are small things that are actually quite good and worth trying, like cabbage salad, it's just cabbage and a very basic dressing but it's quite refreshing and good. Or baked peppers, those are fantastic but it's not a dish , it's just something instead of pickles- the papers are baked on an open flame, pealed and then pickled in vinegar. Anyway, sorry, I'm complicating your life with lots of data and, yet, not enough but was thinking how to present the topic in a video without restricting it to a few dishes and that kind of format with breakfast, lunch and dinner plus some specific sections seemed like the most efficient. Oh and you can find wild boar and deer in Romania. Not sure about bear nowadays but used to be possible to find it- in theory bears are protected but a small number are eliminated every year by the gov to reduce the population - not ideal but yeah. Oh and don't try the onions dish, mancare de ceapa, it's just onions and oily - a few bites is ok but beyond that, it's too extreme lol.

[@realjx313]

@@biaedoug And good job for trying the tripe soup, I thought you chickened out lol. In Turkey don't avoid mutton, they know how to make it well.

@@realjx313Thanks for the recommendation. We'll try 😋
