The people of Romania really know how to enjoy food. You will find the Romanians stacking their tables with all sorts of delicious food, especially on certain special occasions which call for a feast. Nowadays talking about good food habits is the "in thing". Nutritionists and doctors are writing articles and columns in almost all the magazines and newspapers about the benefits of eating healthy food, like raw and seasonal fruits and vegetables, fresh from the garden. It means that we should not indulge ourselves in junk food, at least not very often.

The Romanians are well aware of the health food craze, but they have not fully discarded their traditional cooking habits. Each province of Romania has its own unique cooking style.

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.

Some traditional Romanian delicacies have been borrowed from other cultures. The schnitzel with fried potatoes is essentially an Austrian preparation, which is cooked on Sundays after coming back from the church. Romanians, like many other nations, have a strong church going tradition, and the schnitzel ritual is kept alive as a symbol of that tradition throughout Transylvania. It is washed down with fine wines and palinca, a strong brew which is made from grapes or prunes.

For dessert, 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 homemade bread in a special earth made oven.

Romanians usually make their bread at home with traditional ingredients like Wheat flour and potatoes. Adding synthetic flavor is a strict no-no. This home made bread is still one of the all time favourites of the Romanian cuisine, which maintains its taste with a crisp outside layer and spongy inside.

From the long list of the mouthwatering Romanian recipes, it is perfectly understandable why they are famous in the world, be it a recipe of their own or one influenced by other cultures.

Many people choose their food today being influenced by the colours of the wrappings or the colour 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.

Though Romanians try to be traditional in their food habits, nowadays a fair number of people are opting for dining out often or having packaged food at home. This is mostly because they have no time or energy left to cook after having to cope with their hectic timetables.

But the superb conventional culinary delicacies of the Romanian people should be tried by everybody, because they are in a class of their own. Once you have tried them, it is virtually impossible not to fall in love with these delicious goodies, for example the scrumptious 'sarmale' or cabbage rolls, or the 'ciobra' (broth) or the soups.
