The beauty of our strong beverages is that its sweet and you don't realize that you get drunk
I should point out mamaliga is never eaten by itself. It's just a bread substitute. You mix it together with the main dish
Cu sarmale măi😇😇
Doar bulz
The grape leaves sarmale are just as traditional as the cabbage ones. You wont find them as often in restaurants but Romanians make them at home. At least in Moldova region where I grew up it was normal to have both when you d make a sarmale pot.
Thanks for the info! They were delicious
They are in cluj tho and we never make them with grape leaves in Transilvania, we only use cabbage.
@@dacian_1346 yeah but still, they are still traditional, maybe not to that region but you ll find them in other parts
We have them in Dobrogea as well. Growing up, most weddings, funerals and baptisms I've been to, served grape leaf sarmale with yoghurt instead of sour cream.
Frunze de vita de vie .
Good to see you again, we rewatched your Ljubljana / Lake Bled video before traveling there this summer. Thank you so much.
Very happy to see the new videos from Romania.
Yay, thank you! 🤗
yesss.. we romanians ...are friendly
guys, you're supposed to construct each bite with one part sarmale and one part mamaliga, and not eat them separately 🙂
Now we have another reason to go back and eat more :)
nah bro you gotta put some sour cream on that. it slaps
So glad you guys are back on RUclips! I miss you! Can't wait to see your adventures in Romania!
Hope you both decide to travel again in 2024 & chronicle the exciting adventures even if just for a brief period. You do it so well. Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you, David! We really put a lot of effort into the videos, so we’re happy to hear you enjoy them so much.
That desert looks so delicious
The Papanasi is so good 🤤
Love seeing all this deliciousness! We miss Romania already. Sending lots of love from France ❤
❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂
I am European, but never been to Romania! But I love you two, may God bless you richly, and I would be very glad if you would post stateside travel / Mexico etc as well for your current life!
Thank you, Michael! So glad you're enjoying our travel videos. Give Romania a visit when you have the chance!

Roata means The Wheel.
Welcome to Romania !! I subscribe ! 👍
Just found out you two were back!! So happy to see you both. As always thanks for sharing. You are fun to travel with 😊.
Thanks for always watching our travel adventures! We’re not officially back to publishing on RUclips or traveling full-time. We have found time to edit and share videos that we filmed, but never got around to editing. Figured now is a good time to share them since we have some time!
Well, “welcome back” anyway!! You’ve still got a great library of content. It was so nice to see you both pop up in my feed.
Super frumos...felicitari 👏👏
Yay! Another video! Thank you for bring us the rest of your trip here. Wishing you both the best on your new chapter so far!
Thank you! All is going well on our end. Glad you’re enjoying these videos!
Forgot to mention the egg plant salad (salata de vinete) is the best; it goes well with tomatoes! Zacusca is still #1 but egg plant salad is not far off.
Beautiful video , Beautiful couple , God bless
I love ittttt
Hi guys, the cheese in food most likely was cow cheese cause is common....You should be carreful for the sweet liquer, it hits as hard as palinca, it's just sweet :)
Nice!!! 😋
Guys I loved this video, so nice to watch. Can you discribe the names of plates did you have eat? I would like try on my travel to Bucharest soon. Thanks.
Matthias Corvinus was born 23 February 1443 in Kolozsvár, Kingdom of Hungary. Kolozsvar (now Cluj) was part of Hungary, before Romania. In fact the Hungarian name Kolozsvar means "Fortress of Kolozs" or "Castle of Kolozs." For the most part of the Migration Period, nothing is certain about the site's history as a settlement until the Hungarians (Magyars) arrived in Pannonia in the 9th Century. Although the precise date of the conquest of Transylvania by the Hungarians is not known, the earliest Hungarian artifacts found in the region are dated to the first half of the 10th century.[14] After the conquest, the city Kolozsvar (Cluj) became part of the Kingdom of Hungary. After WWI Kolozsvar (Cluj) became part of Romania. In 1940 Cluj was returned to Hungary through the Second Vienna Award, but Hungarian forces in the city were defeated by the Soviet and Romanian armies in October 1944. Cluj was restored to Romania by the Treaty of Paris in 1947. Anyhow, I'm an American who lived in Cluj for around 6 years.
❤❤❤❤
I wish both of you a Merry Christmas. Are more trips coming 2024??
i hope visit this country
❤
Hi guys! I did a double take! Are you traveling again?
These Romania videos are from our past trip. We never finished editing and posting the full series, and are now finding time to share them with you all here.
I thought that might be a possibility. You opened our eyes to Romania when you were there and can’t wait to experience it for ourselves.
Always good videos...... go to China sometime soon.
👍
Vegetarian sarmale....witchcraft!
LOL 😂
❤Cluj
I just had dinner, now I'm hungry again.
😂
Sheep chese, in the Bulz!
That meal looked like what grandma would cook during fasting days and, while I am not a vegetarian, I had a rainy mouth all the way. Thank you for the hard work and uploading the videos, great quality content! Have you decided when you're coming back to Romania yet?
Glad you enjoyed it! We haven’t decided when we’ll be back (hopefully not too long)
Hai🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋
After Cluj Napoca I would recommand you to visit Timisoara because is the most beautiful Romanian town but Oradea and Sighisoara are worth to be visited too. And Huniazilor Castle is one of the 3 Romanian castle that needs to be visited along with Peles Castle (which you have already visited) and Bran Castle (also already visited by you).
Thank you! We’ll have to come back to Romania again for Timisoara, Oradea and Maramures. We have a couple more places to share here soon!
Come back and see Iasi, you will be amazed by this beautiful city, not presented by mainstream media. Try a search on Google and you'll see, @@KeepGoingPlaces
That ”Semolina” was ”Crème brûlée” (Crema de zahar ars).
I live in this city :)
Probably the cheese inside the bulz is "brânză de burduf" (bellows cheese)
Thank you, it was very good!
Hello! Can you do a travel video about Estonia?
Jaiho Romania Italian Mauritius 🚩🚩🚩🇮🇳🇷🇴🇲🇺
Those types of sarmale you guys have they are mostly more with rice and mushrooms and carrots and onion hen anything
Thanks for this video - cheered me up on seeing horrible videos of the Islamic Attack on NYC 9/11 22 years ago.
Im from romania
There is a story with that statue of Corvin. The communists tried to take itr down with a chain pulled by a tank. They failed because the chain broke.
Povesti de doi bani. Nici vorba de asa ceva. Matei Corvin a fost roman, fiul lui Iancu de Hunedoara, principe al Transilvaniei autonome si rege al Ungariei! De ce l-ar fi dat jos? Si oricum, tu crezi ca daca voiau sa-l dea jos n-ar fi reusit? Nu fi copil credul si mai studiaza un pic de istorie, ca nu strica! Cea adevarata, nu cea falsa ungureasca!
The Transilvania region was also once a part of Hungary and the Astro-Hungarian Empire.
once...hmm. well like forever... just the last 100 years (minus few in between) was awarded by western powers to the roman state. it is really hurting to see all that building heritage like castles and so on treating like it would be built by romanians and even slovaks...
Mamaliga is made of corn flour
"Varza á la cluj", cabbage a la cluj is basically deconstructed sarmale. If you can't be bothered to make sarmale just mix everything together in a pot bake the shit out of it and there you have it:))))
Bit tipsy after palinka:)))!??😅😅
So vegetarians eat cheese. I didnt know that.. :D
yeah boy, i bet those vegan cabbage rolls tasted amazing. lmao
Im romanya
Sarmale isn't NATIONAL dish of Romania. It's ONE of them.
Where did u go? When is next video?
lol probably never
also their insta seems to be shut down
🙈 Promo sm
i dont want to sound like a food snob , but eating vegetarian sarmale instead of normal ones, is a bit of a crime. The meat dish is one of the best meat dishes you will ever eat , and the difference between vegetarian ones and meat ones is night and day sadly.
What kind of meat is in it?
1:50 not realpy, its made with corn
vegetarians try romanian food? is there any dish in Romania without meat?
You guys didn't have any "MICI"
You have to go back to Romania and get the "MICI."

Semolina is like cream of wheat.
probably that was Creme brulee/ !
Yes, very similar in texture!
@@KeepGoingPlaces because that it was, cremă de zahar ars-ruclips.net/video/1ncxuOtu2II/видео.html
În sfârșit ați mâncat și voi mâncare, nu plastic și cauciuc ca în America
If the Americans like our country, maybe we romanians complain too much about our country.. anyway we have to get rid of the stupid political parties which only do shit
In Romania people are champions at complaining but people don’t know they have it better than 90% of the world.
pallink is not to be sipped and critiques little girl.
But why Rumanian food smells so freaking bad. My neighbours are from Romania and every single food they cook smells appalling. Terrible. I mean judging from the smell, it can't taste good.
Do synagogues have statues of Abraham, Moses, David or any other Old Testament saints? No! Why? Because they understood the commandment (Exodus 20:4) not to make any idols...
Sarmale without meat are not sarmale, sorry 😂
Sadly ... when one is a Vegan, there can t be anything that starts with Traditional Romanian Food and leave the MEAT out of it ... let s be clear about it there is nothing traditional romanian in main courses that have no meat in them ,,, yes you might get some side dishes that are vegan by design BUT yea cabbage rolls with out meat in them are NOT traditional just so to name one ... and sadly the traditional aperitives and side dishes that were vegan were even non present in this food tour ... BUT yea all in all it is funny to see VEGANS going around country s who have a long standing meat based dishes ... funny ! but I just cant take this seriously !
As an Orthodox country, because Romanians used to fast quite a lot during the year and some still do, we have many amazing vegan traditional dishes.
Just because the young generation doesn't fast as much any longer and just because you were not exposed to traditional vegan food, it does not mean it does not exist.
Vegan cabbage rolls (sarmale de post) that they ate are traditional and amazing, if cooked properly. Usually they are not very popular in restaurants, because people are drawn more to meat dishes when eating out, but they are common in households year-round, but especially in fasting periods.
Just for your curiosity, these are some traditional romanian vegan dishes:
- all kinds of ciorba: de rosii cu galuste; de dovlecei cu acritura de zarzare; de cartofi cu zeama de varza; de cartofi cu tarhon; de fasole cu cimbru; de spanac; de urzici; de fasole verde and really all ciorbas that have the veggies as stars in various combinations, balanced with a good bulion 😁
- felul 2: doar cateva exemple ce imi vin in minte pe moment: sarmale de post, mancare de ciuperci, ghiveci calugaresc, musaca de legume, iahnie de fasole, pilaf, varza calita, mancare de cartofi, mancare de fasole verde sau pastai cu usturoi si ceapa, fasole frecata cu sos de rosii si ceapa calita.
Meat based dishes are delicious, but so are the veggie dishes. There is no point in putting them down, when we have loads of amazing food.
Have you had tripe soup?
Not yet!
@@KeepGoingPlaces if you are afraid to eat tripe, try ciorbă rădăuțeană, it is similar but made with chicken.
when to Russia or Ukraine? Or both?
