"Romanian food is distinct yet familiar to most people, as it has some unique elements to it but, fundamentally, it is similar to the gastronomies of other European countries. The local dishes are the delicious sarmale, imported from Turkey, mamaliga (polenta), friptura (stake), and cozonac (a special cake bread baked for Christmas or Easter). Other dishes include a burger bun with a slice of ham, a slice of cheese and a layer of French fries, cow brains, ciorba de burta (sour tripe soup), an onion salad - diced onion served in a dish, tomato salad - diced tomato with cheese, pig skin - boiled and sometimes in stew, and drob - a casserole made from lamb internal organs. Bread comes with almost every meal and dill is as or more common than salt as a flavoring.
Generally, there is good street food, including covrigi (hot pretzels), langoşi (hot dough filled with cheese), gogoşi (donut-like dough, coated with fine sugar), mici (hamburger patties in the shape of sausages), and excellent pastries.
Most restaurants in Romania, especially in more regional areas, only serve Romanian food, even though it is similar to Western European food."
