Get your freedom once you have it. Whatever your circumstances are. That is a shame. And California is really going down the drain. Many Americans are exiting. Maybe going back to your Romanian roots should be the real American dream for the future.

Side note: The langoș and the kurtos kalacs are actually hungarian and since they are so good and there's a big community of hungarians inside romania, we are also making them :))) We dont claim these dishes as ours (romanian's) (this was for the people watching so they know as well)

[@carteunu467]

Well, Romania serves the Romanian version. As it is much richer and divers than what you can get in Hungary 🇭🇺. So all you serve in Romania 🇷🇴 it is Romanian actually. You won't get langos with ham, cheese, sour cream, spring onions and corn in Budapest. Forget it

@@gigininho1974 there’s no Romanian version of langosi, we have “scovergi” which are fairly similar. Fried dough is not uncommon, it can be found all over the world in a form or another. Let’s just respect other cultures and not claim what’s not ours🙂 We have plenty of Romanian dishes that are unique, like the pie they tasted in the video. Most of these traditional dishes are not “street food” though so hard to find things like “tochitura” at a Christmas market.

Alivenci, plural form of alivancă, is a traditional custard tart, from the cuisine of Moldavia made with cornmeal, cream cheese like urdă or telemea and smântână. Mămăliga is for eating together with that meat!

Finally, someone who has the sense to mix the cabbage with the mamaliga ( polenta ). Polenta is not ment to be eaten ot it's own, it's a substitute for bread so when you grab a bite of cabbage or meat, pair it with a bite of polenta, it soaks up all the tasty juices and compliments the taste of the food. The cabbage is not exactly sauerkraut ( it can be but not necessarily ) and it's cooked and baked in the oven with pork fat, tomato sauce and other ingredients. As for beans, those are basically baked beans cooked with bacon or pork fat and some other spices to give it more substance and taste. Ah and vin fiert is mulled wine: boiled with a pinch of cinnamon for flavour.

The Panciu Winery was everywhere this year, and they do make some great (and cheap) wine- i bought 2 litres of red from Sibiu Christmass Fair and made some hot mulled wine at home (there are special spices in every supermarket) and it was just like the one from the Christmass Market. I'm sure i'll get Panciu Winery for my future wedding, insanely good for the price. They make some fancy, bubly wine too, and i can't wait to try it

[@ene.cosmin.mihai.]

Langos and Kurtos are actually Hungarian by origin. But we liked it so much that I think we are eating and preparing them more than they do. Probably many of the recipes are learned from the Hungarian community from Transilvania which are called Székely.

[@Dafterthought]

Szekely sunt de fapt nemți la origine asimilați de unguri. In Dobrogea ai numele Zegheru - De Geru care este un demonym pentru triburile germanice coborâte pana aici. ZE GHE RU - SZE KE LY. (Demonym - nikul pe care o pupulatie îl da alteia)

[@RaduRadonys]

Kurtos is not Hungarian, it originates from Székely which as we know is not in Hungary.

[@carteunu467]

Either ways, langos and kurtos are of Hungarian ethnicity. But Romanian versions are wayyyyyyy better and tastier and more divers. They should export the Romanian Xmas markets to all the big cities of Europe. It will be a blast. Here in the very west of Europe we have none or we must go to Germany but it does not compare to Romanian cosiness and cuisine. 🇷🇴🎄☃️🎁❄️

On top of the bear parade, there are also the “badanari”, people dressed in an ugly / scary way and again the idea is to scare away the bad spirits.
