Why Romanian Christmas Markets Are Europe’s Best-Kept Secret

[@Hillbilly001]

Looks like fun, however I don't think I'll be able to go. Cheers from Tennessee

Totally understandable-travel isn't always easy to swing. But hey, experiencing it through videos like this can still bring a bit of that Christmas market magic to you! 🎄 Are there any local holiday markets or traditions near you that you enjoy? Cheers!

[@Hillbilly001]

@FoodStorian Yes. Many. We have the Christmas Parade and Santa's House. There's usually the food trucks that show up for those. I live close to the Tennessee River and there's a boat parade there and again the food trucks show up there too. There's nothing like the Christmas Markets in Europe though. To bad really because when I was posted to W Germany in the mid 80's I really liked those. Especially the food. I know I'm a pig and proud of it too. LOL!!! Merry Christmas to you and yours. Cheers

Merry Christmas! Cheers!

Misi ? :) Try mitchi !

[@FoodStorian]

Ah, good catch! 😄 'Misi' does sound a bit off-it’s definitely 'mici' (or 'mititei')

+ we don't have the same problem with germany

[@FoodStorian]

That's an interesting perspective! Romanian Christmas markets do have their unique charm, from traditional crafts to delicious food, which sets them apart. Out of curiosity, what do you think makes Romanian markets stand out the most compared to others, like those in Germany? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Romanian LOY ? :) Try LAEW instead!

[@FoodStorian]

Ah, I see what you did there! 😄 Romanian 'LOY'? That's definitely a playful twist-maybe you’re hinting at 'LAEW' as in 'lively and ever welcoming'?
