what does it make Romanian food so special? Back to history. Romanian territories were occupied by Turks, Hungarians, Austrians, Polishes, Russians. And we are still a Latin people. Where in the world would you find such a mixture?

At countryside people still use clay vessels and cast-iron kettle for cooking. Dishes prepared in this manner have a unique taste. And we still use vegetables and verdures untouched by last discoveries of genetics. They have the taste your grandma knows and you must be lucky to remember it.

That's why I think it's a pity to arrive in Romania, go to restaurant and eat pizza or Chinese food only because you don't know the meaning of those Romanian names for food or you're afraid they use ingredients that might hurt you. So please check my tips and advice for a Romanian food in Romanian restaurants.
