Regarding stomach issues, I found that when I was there eating mostly Romanian food and homecooked food, my stomach was fine; I haven't felt better! No preservatives, all fresh mostly farm to table. Once I came back to USA, back to problems. Can't wait to head back to my surrogate home! As far as restaraunts, Caru' cu Bere was very good in Bucharest. I cannot remember the name of the place in Brasov. All the other places I ate other than home and restaurants were at the farmers markets.
The food is so delicious, and that’s crazy about your stomach issues. Can’t believe some of the things that go into our foods back home .
It's protein based and we add some veggies for fiber, alsi eat a lot of sour pickels, for probiotics. And i think all of the balkans eat like that, but we also gotten into junk food, so yeah if u keep at it most stomack problems shoul go away
I have the same problem when I am at work in France eating that s... food. Whan I come back to România the problems are gone...
Since I moved to Spain I started to have stomach strange reactions which dissapear the first day I enter Romania.
i live in Texas but every time i go to Romania i lose weight no matter how much i eat ...crazy huh?
❤❤❤❤From the PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
thanks to all of you youtubers for promomoting my country, I don't know how, but all of you keep poping in my YT feed and there are lots of you 😊. and each one of you is pleasently suprised with what we have to offer, from cuisine, to landscapes and people. thank you so much! regards!
Absolutely loved Romania 🇷🇴
HOOYAH!
Thank You for promoted my beautiful country Romania!
🇷🇴🇺🇲⚓🦈⚓🇺🇲🇷🇴
Thank you 😊
I havent been to Romania in years. You made me sooo hungry,,,
This video makes us hungry every time we watch it 🥰
loved every minute of this vlog, food look's delicious and romania look's amazing. I don't know why we didn't go sooner but here we go ✈
You have to go, Romania was amazing ❤️
My dream country Romania
Bro, I have no work permit and no visa. I am only 22 years old, I have finished high school and I have completed my studies in higher education now I will enroll in graduation. I want to work in your country now in any field. Can you help me get a job. Or you can give a job agency address.
I just wanted to let you guys know that the second you took a bite out of that hot pepper, you became honorary Romanians. You gotta try it pickled, as side dish for the ciorba or sarmale. We also make them into sweet and very spicy jam that you can put on steak
Thank you so much, we absolutely love Romania and can’t wait to come back. This time we will have so many new friends from here and instagram that can show us the right way!
@@TheAdventuringArtists The lesson to learn was: Never film the side buildings meantime you drive a scooter,because you may fall inlove with a light pole and give it a fast hug and a passionate kiss😆
I'm really glad you had a good time in Romania .. Wish you all the best and may you come back anytime ... One thing I wanna add .. If you ever wanna eat the real "Ciorba de Burta" you have to travel outside bucharest .. Ciorba de burta is one of the best ever .. Good luck you both and may goood fortune be on your side.
Thanks so much and we will definitely try it again in a smaller village! Can’t wait for a return trip 🫶🏻
The beams soup goes extremelly well with green onions
Greetings from Bucharest/Romania 🇷🇴
🇷🇴❤️
Great vlog guys! 💌 One thing though, tripe is not intestines but rather a specific part of the stomach.
Thanks so much!! Thank you we sadly learned that after posting this video 🤦🏻♀️😂 we will have to give it a second go!
Im from Bucharest, i “ate w u all the delicious foods!!! “ especially sarmale, stuffed cabbage!
It was all so good
Glad you guys enjoyed Bucharest!
Ciorba de burta is actually made with stomach, not intenstines and if maybe it felt a bit off it's because we usually season it with vinegar/garlic sauce (mujdei) to taste right before eatining it.
Next time we will have to try it seasoned that way.
the mujdei is NOT just a sauce it is made from chiseled garlic and (how much) vegetable oil incorporate into a dense pasta ,and lightened to the taste, with a bit of water ) if the pasta is still dense
@@cristianmicu you are right, I've simplified it for convenience of explanation, thank you for restoring glory 👌
Ciorba de burta is made by belly not stomach, its a big diference😅
@@deeadeea3193 Well we're both right, since belly and stomach are synonyms 😛
Those are not intestines in the "Ciorba de burta", it is the very stomach wall of the cow.
The translation would be "Stomach/Belly soup".
Also, you can put a small spoon of vinegar to go with it. It is usually very fat.
We will have to try some vinegar with it next time 😊
Tripe
You two are such a cute couple
Thank you for the kind words!! ❤️❤️
I so much appreciate people who appreciate my country - thank you very much. Just like you, I am also a gourmet, so I can give some advice and useful info:
The tripe sour soup is in fact not intestines, it is beef stomach (muscle) and it is the one that goes perfectly with the hot peppers you got from the market, although I would have chosen the smaller ones, dark green and with some brownish stripes - those are REALLY hot. This type of soup also goes very well with a little sour cream and a little vinegar (one teaspoon for a portion) mixed inside and of course pretty warm (almost hot).
You probably left Romania already, but here is a suggestion for the next time you’ll come - “The Dacians Farm” - it is not far from Bucharest and I see you don’t have to rent a car to get there, as you come in your van. Here is another gourmet, Mark Wiens, who was there and was blown away (just a preview of what would have waited for you there):
ruclips.net/video/kd0FRDkHqPc/видео.html
As for prices, a few years ago they used to be at maximum one quarter from what they are now. You guys are a little late, but you know what they say - better late than never … I am positive you don’t regret one second.
Thank you very much.
Salutations from a Romanian brother …
Thank you so much for all of your advice! We plan on visiting Romania again in the near future so will definitely take all of this into consideration!
@@TheAdventuringArtists I am very proud of you guys … I’ll explain why:
The “Terasa Obor” (“Obor” terrace) you named “Teraza Obor” … you replaced a letter there … and with “them”, we, the Romanian PEOPLE, are very tight brothers and sisters.
All this delicious Romanian food makes us really want to go back! We went before we started our channel, years ago. We went there without any expectations, and ended up absolutely loving it.
Great food, great people and a lot of beautiful nature. I hope you guys were able to see more of the country while you were there! 🍻
We were really excited to visit but completely blown away as well! We are actually headed back for another two weeks later this week! You’ve definitely gotta get back soon!
@@TheAdventuringArtists Nice! We'll give them a watch.
You guys need to do the fixings for the "Ciorba de Burta" Tripe Soup. Usually some vinegar and garlic. Wife is American born and although she was "Hell No" the first time, she is quite a fan these days. LOL
Next time we definitely will have too! Haha, we were so nervous at first but Maryssa actually enjoyed it.
Tripe is not intestines. It's the belly of the cow.
@@TheAdventuringArtists
In the following, i detail how it's made, if you're curious, and maybe will clear some of the "taboo"-ness off it. I haven't done it personally, but my grandma used to. As I recall:
It's actually made from the stomach of the cow and it goes through multiple processes before getting in the ciorba:
-after it's taken out, it's cleaned with water;
-(even washed with limestone powder);
-rubbed with something abrasive (like cracked corn or coarse salt) and brushed;
-then it's kept in vinegar and baking soda (and possibly onion) to whiten it;
-then it's boiled;
-the inner membrane is removed (so that you only eat the muscle, not the membrane that was in contact with the contents of the stomach);
-it goes through the above to get to this is the state (in which it's usually sold in stores);
-when the actual stock for the soup is prepared, the stomach is boiled again, separately (even with multiple water changes);
-they are only combined towards the very end when the sour cream, egg yolks and the final adjustments are made.
Hope this helps brush some skepticism away.😁
Ciorba de burta is such a mentality thing, literally the only thing staying in your way of trying it is your brain simply from knowing what it is. I've seen foreigners try it without knowing what it was and they said it was good and they even liked the sour taste of the broth, but once they were told, they were immediately disgusted. Similar to this, my aunt told me about a friend she had that tried fried frog legs. They told him it was chicken and he ate it all up, but once he found out it was frog, many months later actually, he instantly got so sick that he had to throw up. I mean, it's interesting how it's just all in our heads.
And some sour cream.
Sarmale and papanasi are a must every time we travel to RO. What delicacies... Plus the people in this country are so friendly and nice. Love from CZE.👍👍👍
Such unique flavors but so amazing!! Thank you 😊❤️
Bine ați venit! ❤️
I'm Romanian and sometimes I only see the bad things around me, related to the country and the people but now, seeing this video, through your eyes somehow, I realized that people are actually very nice and smiling, beyond all the difficulties and problems.
We are happy to hear that you are able to see it through a new set of eyes and enjoy it ❤️ thank you for your nice words.
You are what? Anyways country with that name never existed 😂
@@dfgukowhat country name didn't exist?
@@dfguko Romania is the country, Romanian is the nationality:)

Glad you enjoyed! Thank you 😊
That food looks delicious!
It was so tasty!
Awesome video😊
Thanks so much!!
Romania, good food, good people, very peaceful country to live in. Is a bit poor vs others EU countries, but what you can do.
We love Romania 🇷🇴
@@TheAdventuringArtists ❤🎉
Its poor but that is what makes ppl more humble compared to other countries. And ppl live christian, like they dont care about money, fame etc, they care about God
@@landreeallplease shut up, if we would live like Christians we would be hateful people
@@landreealln regarding this issue of poverty, it is getting better and better with the day, Romania is a promising country
Wow! What an awesome video. I loved every minute of it. Although Romania is not on my list of travel, it as soon be☺️☺️. I can’t believe how amazing the food looks like and how cheap the produce is ( those cherries at 10/kilo!). I seriously want to travel there just eat fresh produce which is unaffordable in Canada right now. But what really got me to continue watching this video is your wonderful personalities and your amazing ability to show us around. I predict your channel is going to be huge in a few months.Great job Ryss and Shaun☺️☺️👌👌
☺️☺️☺️We thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. Comments like these make us smile so big.
The food was so affordable in Romania and so good and fresh. My mouth is watering right now thinking about those cherries 🍒 Romania was honestly such a wonderful experience and we highly recommend a visit 🇷🇴❤️
Hahahahah! There`s no escape, Romania already bit you! Just watch some more travel vlogs from Romania and before you know it it will be on the top of your bucket list. Enjoy and happy trails! ;)
Romania is so underrated- my favorite in all Europe- delicious food, lots of history, beautiful architecture, breath taking raw nature, old traditions still kept in most villages, and above all really kind people. The Romanian hospitality is off the charts- my favorite European country to visit (much cheaper than other European countries). And I almost forgot- the best deserts I've had in 20+ countries I've visited so far. They're not very sweet which means you can savor all the ingredients a lot more. I miss Romanian food so much!
Awsome video, really hungry atm, i have some papanasi waiting for me.
So jealous 😊
Love your videos guys!Try to visit Transylvania!You will be blown away!
Thank you! We spent a ton of time in Transylvania and loved it! Our next video we explore some of Bazau land geo park ☺️
@@TheAdventuringArtists What is Bazau?
Come to Romania 🇷🇴 ❤ .Here is a beautiful country with friendly people. Let's play for fun...🎉🎉🎉.
Awsome
Thank you! Very much appreciated!
❤️❤️❤️
Romania...food tours capital of the world...NO BS!
Thank You for promoted my country👏👏👏
As i m sure u ve been told by other commenters here the tripe is the stomach itself, not intestines. Still glad you guys enjoyed!!!
Thank you!
You guys just made me miss Home...
❤️🇷🇴
If you want really good food you should ask a grandma to cook for you😂. It's always better when grandma makes it
We definitely had a few meals prepared by some and they were 🔥🔥🔥
Hello guys ! :) Nice travel vlog ! Thanks for all the details !! Be safe out there in the traffic. E-scooters are dangerous.
Thank you ❤
The "church/museum" is a bank hahaha
The more you know, haha hard to identify on a scooter holding a go pro 😂😂😂 still very beautiful 🤩
At 11:58 it is a museum, the bank is the building opposite
Thk for coming to our country we are relly gratful for you im happy becuse our food is the beast
Thank you!
Very nice 💯👍
love you both
Nice trip
Thank you!
17:37 Sarmale can also be eaten with sour cream above them. Some restaurants gives ya sour cream (to put it yourself) ..but some others (like from that place from the video) don't / didn't 😁 Sour cream is excellent on sarmale especially if your sarmale are hot or warm and the sour cream is cold-ish. Tastes pretty good togheter but can also make the sarmale less hot 😁 (if they were cooked recently or warmed up by them). Next time if you revisit Romania and eat ,,sarmale'' again ..try with sour cream too 😉
We will definitely try that next time ❤️
Ma simt ca un turist cand ma uit la video :)), desi locuiesc in Bucuresti
❤
have a nice fun in Romania !!!
Thank you ❤️❤️
that.s my country..and my city .. have a good meal everywhere u go to visit on Romania ! 🍒🍒🍒
Thank you!
At 7:51 ''just Catalin Bordea in the back making jokes :)''
Not too sure haha
Lo maximo
Cheers for the guy waving in the back while eating mici. Red dog for life and beyond!
❤️
Thanks for all that info. I'm headed to romania here in mid Sept for a yr. I took down a lot of notes hahaha. In definitely excited to get there and travel.
You’re going to love it!! Have so much fun there is so much to see 😍
More guys guys guys guys guys.............
It's dinner! Enjoy!
U are cool, guys
Thank you ❤️
La Mama is my favorite restaurant. first stop when I go. Breakfast is good too. The one you went to is the best location.
The food was really good!
Next time you guys have to visit Iasi❤
Would love to get out that way one day!
Good
I love me country me food and traditions from there miss you Romania❤Thanks to be there 👏👍
We loved it too!
I am very happy for you that you visited Romania and enjoyed it🙏❤️
Welcome to my country! 👏🙏🙏🙏 Please come to Suceava!
Thank you, and unfortunately we didn’t make it there. But next time for sure ❤️
Loved the video. You guys made us so jealous! Obor is the best. Always fresh food (not sure if you also tried the 1st floor where they have all kind of cheeses, cold cuts, and of course fresh meat).
La Mama used to be great, but we tried it last year and earlier this year and it's just not the same.
Hanul lui Manuc is to be avoided as well.
On your next trip ask the locals if there are any events in the parks in Bucharest. We tried the food in Parc IOR, from a sort of a pop-up restaurant and it was amazing (traditional Romania food).
Did you try the covrigi? It's the plain pretzel.
If you want coffee, next time try "The Coffee Shop". They have a few around town, but the one we like the best is on Mosilor, not too far from Obor
Thank you 😊 Obor was great we spent so much time trying all the foods and walking around. I agree the restaurants definitely didn’t compare with what we ate in the countryside ❤️ thank you for all the tips and if you wanna send us over a message on instagram we can reach out when we return!
@@TheAdventuringArtists I'm glad you enjoyed it :) Unfortunately I don't have an IG account, but I'll follow your channel and will try to think of some other places that I could recommend for when you return to Romania. Enjoy the rest of your trips!
I'm from Romania and from today I will follow you. I hope you liked what you ate at our place. They say we have very good food.
Welcome in our country❤
Thanks so much!
I love the Obor xxx
Nice
Thank you ☺️
Yw! ❤😍
We usually eat sarmale with sour cream on top and mamaliga(polenta). You gotta try sarmale with sour cream, it's a heavenly combination.
Next time for sure!
Nice video! Tripe soup is not made with intestines, but with cow stomach.
Thank you!
made my mouth full of saliva , damn
Haha that was our goal ☺️
You are great... and would make excelent ambasadors for romanian tourism
Trip soup need to be fixing with sour cream ,vinegar ,garlic and spicy peper .Just delicios 🤩🤩Very good to eat after you ' ve been drunk 😂
That’s what we were told 🤣 next time we will try it hungover and with all that 🥳🤣
it's so fun watching you being scared of all the Romanian foods :)))
❤️😂
12:02 That's the CEC Palace, headquarters to the oldest Romanian bank
We did not know that 👀 that’s really cool!
Watch to you ...now I'm hungry 😅. As a romanian, I eat a lot of mici, but this is ultimate video 😊 Zacusca must split on bread , and after you may bite that slice 😋 After this you must go at gim 🤪
Thank you, we definitely hiked it off after 🤣
you nou i love both
In case you plan to come again by van, go to a supermarket and buy canned sarmale & varieties of ciorba (I only buy the Scandia Sibiu brand). Helps you stay on budget, no fridge is needed to keep them unless opened & they taste really good. Add fresh herbs, sour cream or Greek yogurt.
Thank you for visiting!
come and eat ardei umpluti si cu smantana
welcome to Romania 🧛
Thank you! We love it here ☺️
Luca (and the others alike) got expensive af. One of those was 3lei before the pandemic. It was 1,5lei when I started highschool.
11:30 Also you could've just walked that little distance 😂
We definitely could have but scooters are fun 🎉
Everything is expensive nowadays. I'm a fan of eclairs and a few years ago, when I started working, it was 3 lei one piece, in a cafeteria. Now it's 10 lei.
I'm hungry now 😂😂
Hahaha our bad 😂😂 it was hard editing this video we wanted the food all over again 🥲
the tripe soup in Romania is usually eaten with some sour cream and garlic&vinegar based garnish or some fresh hot green chilli. to make the overall food a little bit more sour and spicy. that's when all the amazing flavour punches your mouth and tastes amazing.
as a Romanian I like tripe soup but I don't eat the intestines.
I basically use a filter to seperate the soup from meat whenever my mom cooks tripe soup.
They gave you bread near those ciorbe / ciorbas 😁
Usually romanian people loves eating bread ..so we tend to eat bread (bites) when eating ciorba too.
(same goes for mici ..we also take some bread bites) 😁
That makes sense! Next time we will ask for some!
The worst problem in Ro is the politica…they put down that amaizing country. I’m Romanian liveing in UK for years but alway my heart is there in Romania . Our food…..one of the best in the world. You just try it and feel it. Thank you for promoted a part of my country and our delicious food. God Bless you both
Thank you!
👏👏👏👏❤
Cum faci la pranz sa bei limonada? Un pahar de vin ,de la zona,nu era mai bine ?😢😊
The lemonade tasted great to us.
If I like it ? I dripping saliva 🤤 on my tablet , I barley wait to go home and eat them , some of the youtubers they took the receipt and they did some of the food home , are not very hard to made but you need the exact condiments, best of luck on your journey ❤
We completely understand!
In Romania at the market you can taste. If you don't like it, you don't have to buy
3:03 Best paired with a Romanian beer ..... and then it says "Tuborg" on the cup. :D But, ok, maybe they had a surplus of cups they had to use up one way or another. :)
5:19 If you wanted to save money, you could've taken the metro (subway) from Obor to Old Town. Take line M1 from Obor station towards Pantelimon/Republica, get off at Piata Victoriei (Victory Square), switch to line M2 towards Berceni and get off at Piata Unirii -- and, boom, you're right in the Old Town. A single-ride ticket is only 3 lei ($0.65 / €0.60). :) Even cheaper with a 10-trip card (20 lei, so 2 lei per trip, or $0.45 / €0.40). :)
5:50 Hanu lui Manuc does have good food, but it's correspondingly overpriced. It's worth straying from the tourist traps and try some of the hidden gems, e.g. the restaurant Bucătărașul. They have a variey of lunch menus for 25 lei ($5.50 / €5.00). If you're really on a budget, I can also suggest the student canteens associated with the universities / higher education institutions in Bucharest. Although primarily aimed at, well, students, they _are_ open to the general public as well. You can easilyu score a bowl of soup, main course, side and drink for less than 10 lei ($2.20 / €2.00). Here's one, just to give you an example: social.ase.ro/cantina/ :) In similar vein, there're also several canteens in the business areas of the city, e.g. Preciziei or Pipera. Close to the metro, too, so you won't be completely in the arse end of the city, hehehe. :)
10:28 Props for trying, but _bună ziua_ is pronounced more like "BOON-uh ZEE-wa". :)
11:35 Ufff...electric scooters. The plague and scourge of Bucharest. The locals riding them always think they own the sidewalk (yeah, they don't even bother keeping themselves on the road) and have no hesitation whatsoever to zoom past you, or furiously ring the bell a la "get off the sidewalk, dumb pedestrians!". And the rest of us just have to jump aside and run for our lives. :(
14:12 _Ciorbă_ is in fact a loanword from Ottoman Turkish (çorba), which itself comes from Persian šōrbā. You'll find it in several other languages, e.g. South Slavic чорба (čorba) or Russian шурпа (šurpa). Tripe soup is not a uniquelz Romanian dish -- in Polish, for example, it's flaki and can be served in a variety of ways, e.g. in chicken broth, or in a tomato-peppery sauce. :)
Thank you for this, we really appreciate the help! 🫶🏻🇷🇴
usually, the price is different from one area to another because the rent that they pay is different as well.
Makes sense, insure rent is higher in tourist areas.
Try brezel from Petre
I'll check it out!
