The rich and tasty food in Romania is an influence of foreign settlers that have occupied the land in the past, nations such as Greeks, Hungarians, Germans and Turks. These past influences have allowed Romania to create its own unique gastronomy. Pork is the favourite main dish among most Romanians but you will also find great beef, lamb and chicken dishes. Savouring fish dishes are typical of the Danube Delta. Most meals are complemented by soup which is a national specialty in Romania. Also a variety of delicious cakes can be found on special events and holidays.
