AMERICANS TRYING ROMANIAN FOODS - PT.2

[@Alexandru0687]

As a Romanian i tell you, first make Romanian friends, they will teach you what to eat and how to eat. secondly home made traditional food is way better then what they sell in stores. If you get to know Romanians that have a better knowledge about traditional food and what you should eat and what you shouldn't then you will notice a huge difference. Besides you should visit and eat in the Transylvania region. We make the best food and drinks and the majority of Romanians said we have the best food and drinks. It also depends in what region of Transylvania you go. But hey if you interested look it up. By the way thank you for visiting Romania. I am happy to see foreingers visiting and exploring. Lots of places to see and know :)

[@RalucaBojor]

Awwwww hearing Milla say "mămăligă" made me smile :)

[@minime7375]

Goulash is hungarian (but it’s a stew, pretty common for romanians too), bulz is Romanian.

[@randombro89]

Well, a lot of neighboring countries have their own version of goulash not just Romania

[@koraXro]

Zacusca and ciorba are not very popular withi kids :) but as we grew older our taste evolved. We preferred soup and mash and fries... never stuffed peppers or sarmale but guess what we crave now as adults :)

[@ancientbunny3375]

Zacusca is the food for students 😅

[@andreeaboloca4440]

Beg to disagree....

[@georgegaming5094]

my grandparents made cozonac at home, my parents did cozonac at home, even I do cozonac at home. The store brought one is... subpar to put it gently. Same for the store bread, even just a simple bread maker is worlds apart from whatever is in supermarkets.

[@THECALDERONFAM]

I will have to try making it myself!

[@RaduRadonys]

@@THECALDERONFAM Yes, there are very affordable bread makers (like 200-300 lei) that do all the work, just put the ingredients and take out the freshly baked bread.. I have bought a bread making machine last month and haven't bought any bread since then.

[@tonnyharrytony4099]

Icrele are fish eggs but to be good they have to be made by hand at home. They have a divine taste.

[@m0t0b33]

there are a few store brands that taste pretty close to the homemade version.. they are found at Lidl... tried them personally.

[@liasun9]

Or at least bought from Lidl, "Camara noastra" - those are really good and pretty close to the homemade ones

[@RalucaBojor]

My theory stands. Anything with "Romania" in your title performs very well. Congratulations! :)

[@onestgermain]

Hello fam! Noted that you had a go at the lingo! Good pronunciation! Milla: mamaliga!!! She is so cute! Now, cozonac, is made at home, by, literally, everyone! In a few years, you will make it too! (If still there) Mark my words! Dry, shop bought one, is yucky! Clatite…they are my favorite! Them and mici! Home made, though… Ciorba de pui, is delish, but, again, home made, or at a good restaurant! Make sure you take her to a good place, to have ciorba de burta! Thank you for this snippet into your lives!

[@THECALDERONFAM]

I will have to try to make cozonac!

[@danielagheorghe262]

I like to eat my cozonac with a glas of milk if the cozonac is not home made

[@liasun9]

@@THECALDERONFAM Try to cook it with a bit of nutella instead of the cacao and nuts mix or alongside it - it's sooooo good.

The difference from restaurant and made home it is fare.....and taste a lot better . I wish you all a good health. ❤️✌️🇷🇴

[@THECALDERONFAM]

You are definitely right!

[@stradavisinului]

The order of eating is different with us. We start with zacuscă and icre - appetisers, then soup, then bulz, tochitură, ardei umpluți.

[@constantinmitrache8718]

right

[@Crowe_77]

Zacusca (home made) is awsome during fall and winter, acompanied by a coup of tea! There is also zacusca made of mushrooms or fish. Salata de icre(fishegg salad) is good with lemon, because of mayonese. After u put it on the bread, u pour 2-3 drops of lemon juice

[@THECALDERONFAM]

That sounds good! I would like to try the mushroom zacusca!

[@mihaelamihaiu2379]

Românian also eat icre with slice of tomatoes. Spread salt over tomatoes. You can do the same with salată de vinete.

[@corpi8784]

Bulz is a traditional Romanian dish which is typically prepared and eaten by shepherds.

[@THECALDERONFAM]

It’s so good!

[@augustiniumihaila4466]

Bulz is quite romanian. Goulah sounds a bit more fancy than tocanitza, but in fact are the same.

[@THECALDERONFAM]

Interesting, that’s good to know!

[@roxiegs348]

Ok, now I want to try it all! I love eggplant. I wonder if there is a Romanian restaurant near me. Thanks!

[@THECALDERONFAM]

It’s so yummy! Come and visit and you can try it all!

[@oanarew1888]

Omg guys… your pronunciacion is perfect 😲 I’m amazed

[@nannunbgd]

I eat in this moment a cozonac,but buyed not cooked at house. At house,is good.

[@vasilicavaduva923]

Ar ardei umpluți you can make them at home.it îs the same mix like at sarmale but you put the meet and rice and all the rest inside a bell pepper and you boil it with water.For tochitura you can fry some small pices of pork meat,when ready add a cup of water some bay leafs and black pepper let it boil until the sauce is less then half.serve with mămăligă "ouă ochiuri" and grated sheep cheese on top.Hope you will Enjoy it 👍

[@vasilicavaduva923]

Add one spoon of tomato sauce in the sauce for tochitura when is boiliing.

[@THECALDERONFAM]

I will have to try this! Thank you!

[@Sabinathor]

The main problem with Romanian food is that 99% when is home made, tastes divine. But in restaurants or caned in stores, is 50% chance to not be good at all. Usually sarmale, the soups and papanasi it's ok in restaurants too. I recomand to order Ciorba de burta at Citygrill network restaurants, it's almost good, like home made. The rest... depends 100% of the Chef.

[@THECALDERONFAM]

Very true! And thank you for that tip!

[@lucianboar3489]

And if you're in Sibiu, the ciorba de burta is very good at the Cabana Valea Aurie and Kontiki restaurants. Also there's very good ciorba de fasole (bean) at Adi&Nicol. These are all unfancy restaurants, like Italian osterias.

You should definitely come over and try some proper Romanian/Hungarian food. And our stuffed peppers are the real deal, you know, with the most delicious sauce ever!

[@THECALDERONFAM]

That sounds delicious!!

[@nannunbgd]

You must try cremă de zahăr ars,is very good. Or to cook,is easy

[@nannunbgd]

When my mother send me zacusca from country house,i take at work. Very good.

[@paula19335]

Ardei umplut and sarmale MUST be with sour cream on top.. a lot of sour cream. Without it is not that good. Also bulz is romanian. I really love you guys and your 2 beautiful angels 🥰🥰😍 edit: also zacusca must go on bread 🍞 the combinations are crucial to actually taste good. Chec is much much better than cozonac.. but yes.. everything made in shops is mediocre.. you must try it home made

[@ionicafardefrica]

the fish egg salad is often a hit and miss. It's all about the quantity of fish they actually put in there and the ingredient quality in general. Just so it's easier to understand, consider store bought salad has about 8-9% fish eggs, the rest are fillers, flours and additives. Home made only contains fish eggs, oil, onion and some lemon (I would guess around 60% fish eggs?)

[@THECALDERONFAM]

That’s good to know!

[@pascaalexandru7575]

Just a note, goulash come in 2 ways, as a goulash soup or a goulash stew, the favour it's similar it's just the amount of broth that's different and the consistency

[@THECALDERONFAM]

Good to know!

[@NapiRockAndRoll]

I must correct you. Goulash (or Gulyás) is always a soup. If it's a stew it called pörkölt. I know, the whole world thinks that gulyás can be a stew, but it's not the case. :)

[@pascaalexandru7575]

[@johnnypezona9513]

Glad you liked our romanian food! Cozonac is much better when is home cooked..way better than the supermarket one and it has raises and walnuts in it. Gulas is more of a hungarian dish that has been imported to Romania, very famous in the region of Transylvania because it was once conquered by Hungary and it become part of there country. Even nowadays you can still find people in the region of Transylvania that have hungarian names and speak hungarian (most of them also speak romanian too). :)) ❤ ✌

[@THECALDERONFAM]

We will have to try cozonac when it’s fresh!

[@augustiniumihaila4466]

First, goulas sounds more fancy than tocanitza, but in fact aare the same. Transylvania was a very short time incorporated in another statal entity , and that was not Hungary but Austro-hungarian empire. Hungary was incorporated in Ottoman Empire , then in Habsburgs Empire around 400 years.

if you teake them from take away its gone be always bad you must try to find home made everything and its have a different taste

[@roxdox03]

The store-bought cozonac is nothing like a homemade one… it’s a Romanian tradition to make cozonac at home at Easter.. and if you don’t make it, certainly someone in the family will… we personally never bought cozonac from a store… I ate a slice from someone once and it was so bland.. never since then ate again the store-bought variant

[@THECALDERONFAM]

I made homemade and it was definitely way better!

[@grootscereal]

I know I am late, but we eat our ardei umpluți with sour cream, it gives it a better taste and flavour afterall

[@Andrei1990-c9l]

Hi, As a Romanian I can tell you to try : Fasole cu ciolan or afumatura; Saramura de peste; Salata de cruditati; Salata de beuf; Tigaie picanta; Cartofi inabusiti; Toba; Shawarma but romanian style;). For dessert try: Nuci umplute; Salam de biscuiti; Ps: I love sarmale, bulz, zacusca and mici 😁

[@THECALDERONFAM]

These are good ones to try!

[@THECALDERONFAM]

YES!!!

[@chrisalton2022]

Bult isn't necessary Hungarian, it is...Transylvanian, let's say. I heard the original goulash was cooked without the broth, so it was more of a stew, the gulash soup is a variant for those who find the goulash a bit too dry or boring.

[@chrisalton2022]

*Bulz

[@THECALDERONFAM]

That’s interesting! So this must have been a more traditional gulas!

[@aviaxis6261]

Gulash is hungarian :) ... the bulz is actually dangerous because you can't stop eating... home made cozonac is about the same, but it's an extremely long process to make it right, could take more than a day so you won't find the right thing in the stores...

[@THECALDERONFAM]

Bulz is dangerous! I’m hoping to try to make cozonac soon 😳😬

First of all, everything done with mamaliga is pure Romanian, and not Hungarian, the corn grows very well all over Romanian lands and that replaced the bread from immemorial times in the romanians history. Goulash, the Hungarian word for the " tocanita de cartofi cu carne" is also a normal Romanian peasant 's food, more or less some spices, depends on each home taste. However, you should shop more in the open markets, where you can choose your own potatoes, vegetables, fruits, even cheese, sour cream,....., But, of course, then you have to spend time & effort cooking 😀.... , not everyone is accustom to do that. ...
