The Most Delicious Traditional Romanian Dishes

It was difficult to choose just a few traditional Romanian dishes for this guide. Growing up eating mostly traditional food, I remember countless delicious dishes that warmed me in winter and cooled me in summer.

Nothing beats a hearty pork stew on a chilly winter afternoon. Likewise, enjoying fresh telemea cheese with red onions and smoked lardons on a balmy summer evening, followed by a cold slice of watermelon, is simply unbeatable.
