Famous Romanian Food, Love At First sight

Romanians really enjoy eating. They like to have a full table with every type of goodies, especially for the holidays. Nowadays, nutritionists recommend us to eat healthy food, meaning many raw vegetables and fruits, which are specific to the area where we live and according to the ongoing season.

Romanians know what healthy food means, but that does not mean they give up their famous food. Romanians have special traditional food. As in every country there are different regions with different original famous specific food.

For example, in Transylvania, to prepare the traditional Sunday meal, housewives get a fat chicken from the household, pick the feathers and cook a noodle soup, but not any type of noodles. They make those noodles, as well as the rest of the food at home. That soup is part of the Romanian famous food list.

There are some types of famous Romanian foods, which have been borrowed from the Austrians for example the schnitzel prepared with fried potatoes. That specialty is cooked after coming back from church, because Romanians have a tradition in this field too, as many others do. They always go to church on Sunday. As a proof, the schnitzel ritual is still kept today all over Transylvania. Of course, this all comes with good quality wine and home made palinca (a strong beverage made of grapes or prunes).

For desert, women usually bake special cookies and all sort of pies. The most famous of them are the pies and the cookies made with nuts cream or vanilla, baked, of course, in the oven of the wood stove. Romanians also have a tradition in baking home made bread in a special earth made oven.

That is one of the traditional famous Romanian food specialties. The huge fluffy bread was and still is made with potatoes and wheat flour and all the ingredients used for baking it are natural. Everybody should taste this type of bread, because it is very tasty, the crust is very crunchy and the taste is special.

Whether there are special original traditional famous Romanian food specialties, or some borrowed influences, the variety of the cooking department is huge. No matter what we are talking about, all the final results can be categorized as tasty.

Many people choose their food today being influenced by the colors of the wrappings or the color of the food itself. Unfortunately, there are generations, which do not know the taste of a garden grown tomato, or the taste of a chicken grown up on corn.
