More Romania reactions: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HjUxvk4eDg0.html

I live in Romania. The eggs, meats and vegetables I eat, my parents breed and grow in the the country, on land that my family has owned since at least the late 1800s. And yes we do have fast food and supermarkets. But there is no comparison.

Thank you very much for the video Mr. Giant, with a gigantic heart. Your reactions are natural and you have all my appreciation. With love from Romania 💙💛❤

"Palincă", also called "Țuică" is usually a brandy made from fermented and distilled plums. In this video that palinca was made from pears. "Mămăligă" is very similar to polenta, but in Romania you prepare it with only cornmeal, water, and salt. "Brânză de burduf" is a salty type of cheese, made from sheep milk. This cheese is usually eaten with hot polenta. "Zacusca" is a vegetable spread, usually containing roasted eggplants, onions, tomato, and peppers. The first "zacusca" that he have tried, included mushrooms too.

I live in Romania 🇷🇴 ❤ The Dacian farm " Ferma Dacilor"is not far from where I live. it is at a distance of 50 km. all the food you see we eat almost every day, everything is natural. 😊I recommend you to come to Romania 🇷🇴

It is a fermented fruits distilled alcoholic drink, most popular is made from plums, apples, pears, quince, grape pulp leftover after wine making, apricots ... Also very popular are liquors made of sour cherry,blueberry or raspberry

Honestly if you want to know Romania, you need to eat around your trip !!! Every 3:33 Sliced/ toasted bread , covered with fresh spring or red onions and dripped with lard usually melted at a camp fire . 5:28 -home made sheep salamy with nuts inside 7:14 -zacusca is a spread made with diferent roasted vegetables (egplant , diferent varieties of peppers , onions ,wild mushrooms etc) 7:40- jumari -equivalent of pork crackling 8:09- ardei copt = roasted sweet pepper In Romania all roasts are made on camp /wood fire ,so the flavour of smoke is used to elevate the food to another level ❤❤❤ 9:50 - Romania has loads of varieties of cheese ..good cheese ❤❤❤ 10:45 - sticking the money on the singer's forehead is a way to tell everyone that the singer was remunerated 11:15 -Romania does produce very good wine (to bad no good marketing is made for it) 11:25- most likely is mutton ,but they got muddled in translation (no gravy made , is just sauce as it boiled on small camp fire for many hours 😋😋) 12:18 -mountain herb is usually wild thyme ❤❤❤ 14:07 -pork neck (as is rich in fat , so stakes do not dry while on bbq) .Mangalica is the variety of swine that has very high fat procentage but has very little colesterol .

if you want to travel anywhere in the world, don't miss Romania! you will not regret. it is Heaven.

I live in România 🇷🇴❤ ! Everything presented in the film is natural products! It is worth visiting Romania and trying traditional culinary products! Congratulations on the film and comments!

This video it is make for promotion. And yes you will find this thing in Romania mostly in country side. About pigs... for romanian it is like for fisherman fish! Almost evry house in countryside have one or more pigs. It is the same with wines: everybody have little vinyard and wines. It is not joke: pigs, wines, palinca, țuica will be find in evry house in Romania. It is one tradition in Romania: you have new born child - some romanian - will keep for when wedding childs wines, palinca, tuica produced in the same year when children was born. It is wild...

One day I will take you to Romania. My partner also lives in the Staten and she also really wants to see Romania. I live in Germany but my family comes from Romania and Hungary. I look forward to your videos and your enthusiasm about Europe. .thank you and keep it up 🥰👋👋👋

Subway, KFC, McDonalds and others are pretty wide spread in Romania. Also, what you're seeing here in terms of cooking skill is quite elaborate and also pretty specific to the region and in a certain context. You aren't going to see this show in every restaurant for sure. But fortunately we can still procure great quality products like vegetables, meat, all sort of milk products and in fact we're slowly turning back to what food used to be in Romania no more than 20-30 years ago, aka top notch quality BIO food. All this due to an increasing number of small entrepreneurs (usually a family or a group of families) entering this business.

Hey Mr. Giant, this was fun to watch! Everyone is getting hungry watching this stuff!😄 Greetings from Romania

Meat is a big part of Romanian cuisine. A lot of our favourite foods can be described as hearty and/or heavy. Probably due to cold winters. But we do have a couple of lighter options. A favorite of mine is an aubergine spread (we call it "salata de vinete " - aubergine salad). Zacusca (he had some, on bread) is a spread made with aubergine and other veggies like tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, mushrooms. Zacusca is made by cooking (btw, all Balkans do it in a form or another) and that makes it good for storing it for the winter. Polenta mixed with cheese and sour cream is another favorite, often served as a main meal. But polenta is used a lot as a side (or instead of bread), as well. And Palinca - the drink they had at the start - is a double distilled alcohol, traditionally from plums, but more recently from other fruits as well. A good Palinca should have over 105proof (it can get to over 160, but that's for professionals :P). A pig roast isn't something we see every day, but some traditional restaurants might do it from time to time - and at some festivals we might also have that. PS: I'd say it's a big difference between our favourite traditional foods and actual traditional cuisine. Meat wouldn't be as plentiful for a day to day meal - what is shown here would be a very rich feast in medieval times - and even today, it's a bit over the top.

Where I live in Romania , we are used to prepare these roasted pig feast usually at Christmas. The family is gathering from the city , or from more many places , into a village , and get to roast and cook lot of things , talk , have fun and bringing some old memories. Cause of course only where its lot of people , could be eaten such a big size of mangalica pig. Or when a motel in a village has enough customers , to attend to roast an entire pig , usually in weekends. I take part to this maybe some 30 times , and for a roasted pig must be envolved at least 20 people.

Ohhhh yes ! We have a saying " the best vegetablle is pig meat"😂😂

About 65% of Romania's habitats are in good conservation status (the EU average is around 15%). The country is almost evenly split between mountainous areas, hills and plains. Because of this we have quite an array of species of plants and animals: largest brown bear population in Europe, quite a few wolves, the European wild cat and the Eurasian lynx, a bunch of snakes (including 4 or 5 species of viper), jackals, foxes. We also have swans, geese, otters, deer, and some cool insects. When it comes to European fauna, we pretty much a bit of everything. When it comes to food it depends on the family and location. Outside of major cities people do eat like this, and growing up I've personally been to quite a few pig roasts. We do have US imports like McDonald's, KFC, or Domino's, but we also have more traditional fast/street food restaurants. It depends on which region you go to, but as a visitor you can find most of these in any traditional restaurant.

Meat is a big part of the romanian cousin. Many households grow their own animals aspecialy pigs witch are eaten in the winter. Also the fat plays a big role being a caloriecdens food for working hard labour's or for the cold winter.

Depends on the person, but I think the majority of the people cook at home, home made food. We still have markets buying food from the country sideand growing food in the garden.

We butcher a pig every year around Christmas time at my grandparents' house in the country side 50 km from Bucharest... in our village when you come in December you can hear pigs squealing and festive meals every day. I'm 40 years old and I don't think there's been a year without having a pig, we also have a big ram for Easter for "pastrama" all year round, it is a dry/salted meat and goes so nice on the grill. Between these, my family also raises 50 chickens and 10 turkeys per year for eggs and meat. We don't have a cow, we get the milk from a neighbor who has 5 cows and we pay him with grass, we let him graze the cows in my grandfather's plum orchard. He and my father makes "tuica" from plums and sells it to the villagers...they makes several thousand liters a year. Although I live in the city, I visit the farm weekly on the weekend and leave with a trunk full of good food . When I retire, I will leave my children in the city and move to the country and I will continue the tradition of eating like a king , butchering pigs and making tuica 👍

Man, come to Romania to taste the best food in the world. All food in Romania are tasty

Palinca or palinka is a 60 degrees alcoholic beverage derived from garden fruits like plumbs, pears, cherries, apricots, quince and so on; its milder version, tuica or rachie or rakja is the 40 degrees version... both are very flavourful and go well with traditional home/restaurant cooked meals

Childhood salami. Perfect description of taste Mr. Giant.. It is really well done. All Natural!

Mangalita is a typ of pig theat contains omega 3 like fish ''pigsalmon''

Pălinca (Pælinka) is an alcoholic drink , quite a strong one but we in România also call is "Holly Water" 😁🤙

1st time commenter here: palinca is some sort of romanian moonshine, made from fermented fruits (pears/plums) usualy, twice or three times distiled. As i was in the military on the part of Romania where they do and drink palinca, i was not acustomed with it (we drink "tuica" or "rachiu" in my region - wich is something similar) and i heard stories that the wood cutters used palinca as a mean to survive the harsh winters in the forests aswell as medicine, and i can can say that is true. My fellow soldiers gave me palinca first thing in the morning, and i had a better apetite, a better blood flow, and generaly a better day :) It is alcoholic, for sure, but i think palinca is the best way to get wasted in a natural way, without hangovers of getting sick. It preserves the flavour of the fruit its made from, opposite to "tuica" or "rachiu" wich are almost pure alcohol. Palinca is soft, is like a delicate massage of your throat and surely, i miss it a lot, even after 25 years. You can buy palinca in the supermarket nowadays but is not the same thing as a home made palinca.

We have a saying here in Romania: "pig is the best vegetable" 😁

Every think you see vegetable, meat , salamy etc is made in home, and grown in the back yard in the village you will find a pig in every home, and a garden with vegetables etc. Every think made in home and grown in your yard❤ also the cheese is made in home. I made cheese in home is not very hard, you just have to let the milk to turn sour then put " cheag" put that in a fabric with litlle litlle wholes so the " zer " to flow ,and let it hang untill there is no " zer" left, after that you put salt and let that cheese in salted water to stay. My translation in english is not grate but our grandmothers made cheese in home almost every day if you have cows in your yard. My grandma was up every morning on 04 in the morning to tende to the cows ,take milk ,feed them etc. It' s hard work but every think is fresh and healthy❤

You sound extremely wholesome. Just stumbled across your video. Can't watch it right now, as it's very late, but definitely saving for later. Subscribed.

"Palinca" is a double distilated drink , with an abv betwen 50-60 . "tuica" is only one time distilated and has lower abv 40-50 , but of course that depends from area to area. What you saw was a bottle put on tree, before the fruit starts to grow, so it grows in the bottle, and after that the bottle is filled with palinca, and aged so it can extract the fruit flavour.

Meat is a big thing, mostly in the mountains (people needed to preserve meat, so usually it's smoked meat) for the people going out with their sheeps. I thinkthat is the main reason why today meat is a big part of the food. But we do have tons of veggies and we do eat them. People here love cucumbers, mushrooms, bell peppers, herbs, carots, pumpkins, tomatoes, garlic, onnions and so on, people have gardens, also beans are also part of the foods we love. Fruits are good too. I think generally we do eat a variety of products. We also make milk products, cow and goat mainly and at seaside we do consume more fish and so on. We also pickle a lot :)

Palinka (in Hungarian and Romanian) = Rakija (Serbian), it's an alcoholic beverage, usually home made from fruits. It can be Quince palinka, apricot palinka, plum palika and so on. It's a great national drink, try some if you get a chance. Cheers.

In Romania if you want to eat very well, with the good old taste, you need to go the country side. In the autumn or winter you can have a very nice food experience.

In Romania, 60% of the population lives in rural areas and here people grow natural fruits and natural vegetables and raise birds (chickens, turkeys, ducks) and animals, so in general the food in the country is very healthy and yes the costs to grow something natural are expensive here too but we prefer to work hard than to eat chemicals from the supermarket, you would also ask if Romanians eat a lot of meat and here we have a joke "The romanian's favorite vegetable is meat"😂😂😂 .......of course we also love vegetables potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, paprika, eggplant, beans😊

Pálinca is a drink that is made at home and not in factories. It is prepared from Bistrițene plums and at the same time as it is being prepared, the strength of this drink can be controlled. Many years ago two types were prepared. the stronger one in alcohol was left to disinfect wounds and the other was for daily consumption during the winter

I love seeing your reactions 😅😊 And yours such an observant person and smart, you pretty much answer most of your questions right here in the videos 😂❤❤ much love from a Romanian living in Canada 🙌🙌

Wild life : brown bears gray wolf, carpathian minx, some areas are habitats for vipers, fox, deers bison

When its cold outside and you eat some pork cracklings with good bread, cheese, raw onion and a shot of palinca...

I love ❤ your reactions to Romanian contents........ You are the best advertising for my country 💕

That kind of food can be found by tourists in the so-called "traditional restaurants" if you are planning to be visiting Romania's big cities. People living in rural areas of the country, like villages and such, mostly rely and live off of the land and small-scale livestock farming. Everything that you saw in the video is indeed considered Romanian traditional food but all of that abundance showed in regards to the meat consumption is traditionally being spread throughout the passing of one year. Sacrificing a pig is mainly done before Christmas and the consumption of the obtained meat is usually spread by regular families on a period of 6 to 12 months and using different ways of conserving the meat. Other than that, yes, Romanians are definitely big meat lovers and I would say that pig meat is definitely Romanians meat of choice but also chicken, lamb, sheep, beef, fish(mainly on the course of the Danube river and in the Danube Delta region but not only limited to these regions) also deer, wild boar and such wild game meat. Romanian cuisine isn't tho limited to meat exclusively. It also has delicious vegetable soups, fresh made bread, sweet bread, all kind of spreads made out of all sort of veggies, pickles, deserts, you name it, they probably have it and above that you can still get them traditionaly made with fresh and natural ingredients. Other than that, people living in the cities are influenced more and more each day by the "western way" of living, meaning that they are tempted to go the easy and fast way(fast/junk/unhealthy food) all made just for, you already guessed, profit. I'm not 100% against the modern way of living but I strongly disagree with the way the government interfere and discourages simple people and small businesses to live a prosperous, simple life while also respecting their own traditions. Visit Romania until you still have a real chance of trying all of that great variety of food awaiting and also meet the great and loving Romanian people.

arround 65 /70 procent we eat natural food direct from garden. we have fast food also end KFs mc donald subway end everything . afcours we weat theare to. but we have allot of rustic restaurants whith romanian food end we prefear to eat theare!

as a romanian i can tell you that those "toasts", they have to eat it after they had some palinka, it helps so you dont get wasted

Romania is a massive meat lover country, usually every family has a pig over Christmas and most of the winter time, during time you need to grow the chickens but around Eastern we switch to lamb, by the time summer is around chickens are ready to be eaten and during Autumn is mostly eating the vegetables collected around that time.

Hey Mr. Giant, to answer to your questions: 1. We don't eat only meat, we eat also a lot of veggies, don't be mislead of what you see in the video, our diet is very balanced. 2. Yes, as much we can we eat healthy, but also our supermarkets sale a lot of processed food - but they are forced by the law to sale 50% of the veggies or meat from local production if it's available. 3. You can eat that type of food in a lot of places, but some specialties are available only on some limited areas of the country, you can't make a fire in the middle of a large city just to cook by yourself, but you can partially mimic what you see minus the smoke who offer a special flavor to the meat. 4. Our cusine is very rich, complex and also veeeery tasty (yummmmi). 5. We buy a lot of veggies and meat from local markets and we prepare our food at home most of the time. 6. We have a lot of fast foods here also (junk food as McDonalds, KFC, etc.) but personally I think I eat that $h1t more than 3-4 years ago, I don't like that crap... You are welcomed to come and visit us, for sure you won't regret it, you can also eat a lot of fish here, in the Danube Delta are a lot of specific dishes who are based on fish ;)

I from romania and didnt know this place until now. I like pork a lot and all looks so delicious Thank you for showing us this place

So this is happening right around Christmas and in Romania we have this tradition of slaughtering nd cooking a pig or more right before Christmas, most of the meat gets usually in the freezer but we still make sausages, smoked meats, barbeque, sarmale, piftie (a form of pork jelly that is served usually with horseradish paste or mustartd), etc. This dude came right smack in the afternoon after the pigs were butchered.

Best description of palinca: if you can drink it, you can drink practically everything on this planet. Is like an appetiser for heavy fat food. Enjoy

Romanians eat a lot of meat, especially pork. But we can go vegan too, because during Easter lent and Christmas lent, we don't eat meat, dairy, or eggs. Romanians eat a lot of soups, including the tripe soup. And stews too. "Sarmale" - stuffed cabbage or cabbage rolls, are usually prepared with pork meat. That "cabbage" is not just a regular cabbage - it's pickled cabbage (it has a lot of probiotics) - very healthy and delicious. If you want to eat like that, and you know how to prepared those dishes, you can eat like that in the city too, not only in the country side. In USA, you can find Romanian restaurants that prepare traditional Romanian dishes. I really hope one day, you will try and enjoy some of our Romanian recipes! Take care - God bless!💙💛❤🙏

You can find it if you go to traditional restaurant food is excellent and homemade bread, local alcoholic drinks. I must admit I love Jamaican cuisine so much your cuisine is very delicious.

There are dozens of places like that where you can take a vacantion from the city and enjoy, there are ...shops with traditional and natural meat - cheese - salami anything,or you go to the source to the country-side to purchase all natural - or most of the people from city have their parents - relatives on the country-side and be able to do that ;;; we do have fastfood like McDonald's KFC Burger King, must most of them are full of spoiled kids :)))

Mangalita pork is the top meat from this animal, as for beef, the best is wagyu. Romanian dishes are about the tastiest in the world. And McDonald's and KFC have a different taste compared to the rest of the world. We are a gourmet people and we always care about quality, appearance and taste! Come to Romania and explore unique tastes!

In general, romanians eat very natural in the countryside. They live in country houses, over 60%, they have vegetable and fruit gardens and raise birds, sheeps, pigs and cows ( small farms ). 🎉 Cristian

it`s combined. Yes, we do eat a lot of meat, pork, chicken, beef, mostly pork and chicken but we eat also loooots of soups, rich in veggies, carrots, potatoes, onions, peppers, beans, salads of all sorts. This is a restaurant like a...steak house, with medieval recipes, very very old recipes as well, from ancient times. All the products, the ingredients are locally grown, 100%natural, form the meat, veggies, spices, all of it. As a diet, we are more balanced than what you see here, as I said, this is like a stakehouse, therefore you see all the meats:))). Come to Romania and you will have soups too:)))

Palinca is between 52-60 percent alcoholic degrees, and it's a DOUBLE distilled drink from fermented fruits. At 40-43 alcoholic degrees we call it "rachiu" (same alcoholic degrees like other distilled drimks like vodca, whisky, cognac, gin, rum etc) and in some Romanian regions you can find "tzuica", which is same distilled drink, but, generally, at 23-25 alcoholic degrees.

Very nice video, I’m Romanian moved in the UK and i really miss the real taste of the food back home, but trust me once you taste any of those dishes you’ve seen in the video you’ll get totally addicted . The flavour is unique

Mici ( small ones), cabage rolls( sarmale) , ciorbă( sour soup) etc we have very tasty food with a lot of comdiments and we like to make food in our home ❤. You will find very few or non houses with ppl ( more women) not to know how to cook ..there is a funny saying in my country :" a women has to know how to make sour soup & scandal with what she got on her home" translation . O nevastă bună trebuie să știe să facă ciorbă și scandal cu ce are la îndemână în casă" 😂😂😂😂❤

This is medieval restaurant, especially with meat dishes. But romanians cuisine is not only based on this. 🎉Cristian

Palinca, yes.. In mountain area, they drink it before or after a nice meal. It has 60 to 70 procents alcohol and it is made from fruits such as plums and pears..

We have more than 100 types of soups (ciorbă) . Actually the accuracy is real . People eat that much meat in Romania. And this is not medieval, this is the way we eat. Sarmale is our national dish. I dont know why they keep saying medieval. Maybe because the name of the restaurant was reminding of Dacia who is our ancestral home.

In Romania, meat, milk, cheese, bread and wine are not just food, but a lifestyle. In Romania we don't say "I like meat", we say "the best vegetable is pork"

We lucky we still have restaurants like this in Romania and they are many, also we lucky that in most supermarkets we still find authentic Romanian ingredients, meats and cheese. We indeed eat a lot of meat as in Romania winters are very cold and need calories to be healthy.

Great video 🥰

42:00 we do eat like that from time to time. Urban area folks usually go to restaurants or cook at home (not the pig thingy lol) but sarmale is a must. They are not filled with grease or fat, it's a mixture of meats and rice.

We have the pork culture and everything is soooo gooooooooooood .Especially during Christmas we have a ton of pork specialities ,dishes and sausages .But during all year we have almost all of them. Each region of the country have their own specifics ,in some parts they also make more dishes with lamb or rabbit ,but we also have different other influences ,over all our food is very good and natural and yea kinda we are a grill and meat nation :) . Ah and we also love our cheese and spirits.

Palinca is like moonshine made of fruits. Good as appetizer.

pork and beef are our favorite vegetables :))

Palinca (resemble german schnapps) is spirit drink but like 60-70 degrees (verry strong ) Is natural and healthy , it boost up your metabolism we usually drink it right before we eat because it burn out the fats we eat (our food is somehow greasy) The one they drink is made from pears. (we do it from prunes - pears -apricots - quince) quince and apricots is the best tasting ones (aslo you most expensive) .Also palinca is hommade.

Yes! "Palica" it's like vodka, but a little bit harsher than vodka and more tasty. It's made of plums.

Hello there, We have an old saying in Romania and it sounds like this: The best vegetable is the pork. So, you were right, we eat a lot of meat.😊😊

Sending a big hug to you from România. Have a great day ❤

There is no place in the world where you can eat such amazing food, you just need to go to small villages, or traditional restaurant's

Evry 2 day i make a barbecue with sheep meat and pork ..and yes we love eat meat medieval stile

We also catch and cook our own fish . Definition of fishing. And yes meat is a big part of our food but also loads of home grown vegetables most of them are seasonal, fruits also seasonal mostly. I mean yea you can get oranges and pineapples stuff that doesn't grow there from supermarkets but the seasonal stuf is organic full of flavour and 100 percent natural i like to think that in our culture we like to still be in touch with nature and our ancestors ways of doing things. Love your reaction . I got hungry to lol😂

Horinca is one of the most spirited traditional drinks created by Romanians. Horinca often beats Vodka as the alcohol degree, which very often has an alcoholemia between 90 and 98 degrees

Romanian sheep chese it's not like the chese you know,but it worth the try also the foods you'll find in every region of romania is "tochitura de porc"(cooked pork mostly in his lard),polenta with chese and sourcream,ciorba de burta (a sour soup made with sourcream ,garlic,vinegar,and cow stomach,and the meat from cow,or pig legs)sarmale,chese pie,pastrama de oaie,drob,zacusca,salata de vinete(eggplant salad),also traditionally and culturally we don't eat all these foods all year,some we eat in the winter,some in autumn,some in spring In the summer time we eat a lot of tomatoes with chese or tomato salads because we have delicious tomatoes

Ok let me give you a bit of a background on what bbq means or it meant back in the day. Bbq were mainly held for important events, like weddings, christenings, local community events etc. Normaly will involve procuring some meat(sacrificing a pig , calf ,chicken), being sourced from the local community the onus was on no waste, therefore ppl wold create dishes from every cut so it taste good and is enough for everyone..also side dishes were present and to be honest the ratio is abou 4 to 1 side dishes to meat quantity Forgot to mention that we use a lot of "palinca" , similar to moonshine, but made out of frunts not grain( some ppl do make it from ray corn etc), now palinca require a health portion of food maily because it's used as appetiser drink and literal can create a black hole in your stomach

We got all kind of restaurants where you can eat everything you want, if you want food from eny place from Romania you can ask the Chef to prepare what you want on good restaurants, If you know USA is a free country where you can find any food is wrong...come to Romania :D

now, here in Romania a lot has changed (the West...), but when I was a child, many of our parents had a small place where we raised a pig for Christmas, I'm 44 years old and I'm about the last generation that knows what it was like to be in the city and raise and sacrifice your own pig at Christmas. for me it was something normal that at the age of 4/5 years old, i would help my sister to cut a duck. at that time I considered it food and not a pet. and by the way, no one tells to the camera, but when I was a child, it was normal for people to cut the Christmas pig in front of the block, (everyone burned the hair on the pig = crispy and tasty skin) as we were children, we couldn't wait to receive a little of crispy pork skin (not fried, just slightly burnt, but it's wonderful)

I grew up on food like that, but after the 90s all other junk food came to us too. Still if you have a good income you eat everywhere good. Our foods still have taste. Our tomato’s still have taste. If you want healthy food you still can get is, also mangalita is a pig that has less fat and is much more healthier. Also the wine tradition comes from 2000 y ago when the dacs worshiped the god Dionysos. We have 20 minorities in the country and also a mixture of traditions.

normally in Romania, giving alms to the pig is a Christmas tradition, if you come to any region in Romania during Christmas to any restaurant, house, etc. you will find these preparations and many others just as delicious. aa and palinca is a spirit drink normally between 40-70 degrees (it can even reach 80) with different flavors because it is made from a very large variety of fruits, combined or individual (plums, strawberries, cherries, apples, grapes etc.) related to meat, we like vegetables, fish, fruits and believe me we love to make delicious combinations that will leave anyone's mouth watering, what Mark shows in the video shows the traditions of the winter month (December) but spring, summer and in autumn we love salads, greens and fruits.

there are some excellent traditional places in Bucharest and around Bucharest to eat or to buy and prepare at home like ~ 30km away or so but i highly recommend that particular place and Transylvania ''farm, ranches'' if you're looking for a truly sublime experience. We have good traditional sweets too but not with a high % of cocoa tho. might be too sweet for your taste. yes, we do eat meat with meat with another meat and some other meat too and threw in there some vegetables, 'cheese', cheese.

palinca is like moonshine is a spirit drink ,what you saw in the video is pear palinca,we hang the glass bottle in the pear tree where the pear tree flowers are and the fruit grows inside the bottle during the season and then we make palinca from the remaning fruit and fill the glass bottle with the fruit inside with pear palinca . you can find pear palinca with the fruit inside the bottle in NEW YORK ,there is a romanian restaurant there that serves romanian cuisine and drinks and they have palinca on the meniu also you can find sarmale,ciorba de burta,mici,ardei umpluti,papanasi on the meniu.

YESSS. the meat is big part of oure coulture. every meal has meat. and we love all kind of meat.

Romănia is paradise live, good life and love persons

Pălincă, romanian pear moonshine, that's made like brandy ! Lovely !

We have local farm markets and the products come from the people who grow things and come and and sell . And that is in most cities . And people prefer to buy from a traditional source then supermarkets. But meat you can also buy from supermarkets . The farmers are quite good

I can say this: Mr. Giant is suffering watching this video. You can see how he drools. 😁😁🤪🤪

Palinca is a drink distilled from plums, twice, kept in mulberry barrels for at least 2 years with an alcohol percentage of 60-65 degrees. Its authenticity is checked before being tasted with a piece of bread dipped in the drink and lit, and the color of the flame tells the quality of the drink. Two small glasses are enough to lighten and drive away any darkness. Another lighter drink, about 35 percent, is that bottle that is hung on the tree when the fruit is small and the pears grow inside the bottle, in the fall they are picked and filled with Rachiu and kept for several months. Is more a lady drink...

Thank you for the video sir! You're awesome, keep up the good work.

It was a very small period when we all bought mostly from the supermarket, but we also had bio from country or market produce. A few years the market was "not in fashion" until it created us many children with autism, and now I can say that the market is in “fashion again” (We also starting to stop even spraying fruit and vegetables) so that is a 100% BIO 😊

The drink is called palinca, it is very strong, and the taste depends on the fruits from which it is made. Anyway, it is by far the best sophisticated and versatile drink and it doesn't cost a lot either.

In wild we have wolfs bears there is a reservation of wild horses In Romania is the biggest population of bears in Europe

Palinka - is a moonshine of plums. If 3 times distillated can go up to 68 % strength

In Transilvania we do pàlinca from plumbs at 70 degrees and he keeps 3 to 5 years when it is around 60 degrees is ready to drink,and you have to try to have a opinion….😂…. All veggies and fruits in Ro have unique taste like a legend.

palinca made from prunes( there's variants of fruits or/and legumes) it's one of the best traditional alcoholic drink in romania as a similarity in processing its similar to moonshine but different ingredients moonshine its closer to tuica thea palinca/ horinca

That oven you were talking about and making bread we still have it, best bread named baked on vatra.❤

We have vipers in some areas. Bears, wolf, wild cats, roars, deers, and other animals.

Yes, this accurate ! Everyone here in Romania is a Master Chef :))

I live in the city (Sibiu), and 95% of the stuff we eat we buy in a local produce market. Meat, vegetables, bread, everything. Other than coffee and sugar, I don't buy much from the supermarket. What they show in that video is not daily stuff, it is for large gatherings, special occasions like Christmas, or restaurants. What we eat every day is more down to earth, but not that far off. We still make sarmale, have a pork-based barbeque, make stews, eat zacusca, just not at that scale. If you scale down your expectations, you will find most of the stuff they have shown at any decent traditional restaurant.
