Corn, plums, pork and cheese are some of the most common ingredients, and the most famous Romanian dishes are <strong>Mici, Ciorba de Burta, Mamaliga and Tocitura<\/strong>, but there are many more worth trying, as we&#8217;ll tell you below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The country also has delicious fried dough sweets such as <strong>Papanasi<\/strong> and other baked pastries that they eat during festivities such as <strong>Cozonac and Mucenici<\/strong>. And if you like strong emotions we recommend you try <strong>Tuica, Afumata and Macrisul<\/strong>, three traditional drinks that will surprise you.

Papanasi, egg fritters<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Papanasi are an irresistibly delicious Romanian dessert. They consist of <strong>doughnuts made from a dough of fresh cheese<\/strong> mixed with eggs, flour and sugar, which are then fried until golden brown and crispy. Papanasi <strong>are traditionally served with jam, often fruit jam such as raspberries or strawberries<\/strong>, and topped with sour cream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The combination of the soft, tender dough with the sweet taste of the jam and the contrast of the sour cream creates a dessert that delights the palate and is an important part of Romanian confectionery.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\n<figure class=\"aligncentre size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-attachment-id=\"31991\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/romania\/typical-romanian-food\/attachment\/romanian-food-papanasi\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Romanian-food-Papanasi.jpeg?fit=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,682\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Romanian-food-Papanasi\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Romanian-food-Papanasi.jpeg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Romanian-food-Papanasi.jpeg?fit=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Romanian-food-Papanasi.jpeg?resize=1024%2C682&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Typical Romanian food\" class=\"wp-image-31991\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Romanian-food-Papanasi.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Romanian-food-Papanasi.jpeg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Romanian-food-Papanasi.jpeg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Typical Romanian food: Papanasi @pixabay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Cozonac-sweet-bread\"><\/span>2.
