No matter where we visit, one of the important things for us is to taste the traditional foods of the region. Visiting Romania was no exception and we asked all of the locals that we met what foods we should eat while we were there.\u00a0We were able to try the greatest variety of food\u00a0while we were in Brasov, but we understand that these were typical meals that could be found throughout the country. What we heard over and over again was that we needed to try the polenta with a spicy pepper\u00a0as\u00a0well as the\u00a0cabbage rolls, so we definitely wanted to give that a try.<\/p>\n

Pork dominated most menus, but there plenty of other choices as well.\u00a0 We did find that most meals did not utilize a lot of spices, although they were\u00a0almost all\u00a0hearty in nature. There are definitely influences from countries throughout the region, so it should be no surprise that we found treats like Baklava on various menus in addition to those unique to Romania. One of the more interesting meals that we ate was a pork loin filled with goat cheese and spinach with a black currant sauce.<\/p>\n

Our photos will not do the food true justice, but we did enjoy trying some of the various dishes from Romania. At some point, when we have a chance, we will likely try to recreate some of these on our own, but we will likely tweak them a little to include a few more spices.<\/p>\n
