Romanian FOOD TOUR – 7 dishes you MUST try in Transylvania! 🍽

Transylvanian cuisine plays an important role in Romania's gastronomic heritage and reflects the country's rich and varied past.

Transylvania has been part of or ruled as an autonomous region by many different kingdoms – the Hungarian Kingdom the Ottoman Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire – all of which contributed to shaping the country's unique cuisine.

Additionally the region was home to as many as 750000 Transylvanian Saxons a German ethnic group that settled in the region in the mid-12th century. Most Transylvanian Saxons emigrated to Germany after World War II with a second wave leaving after the fall of the Iron Curtain but Saxon dishes or their variations are still cooked and loved in Transylvania.
