National food
Romanian cuisine owes much to Turkish and Greek cooking. Soups with meat, vegetables, and noodles, thick cabbage soup, pork stew with lots of garlic and onions, and stuffed cabbage leaves are all staple fare. Desserts include placinta (turnovers), saraille (an almond-flavoured cake covered in syrup), and baclava (a pastry made of thin layers of dough filled with nuts and topped with honey syrup).
Social customs
Romanian national holidays include the New Year (January 1 and 2), the Monday following Orthodox Easter, May 1, National Day (the day of Romanian unification with Transylvania, celebrated December 1), and Christmas Day. Romanians’ lives are generally guided by the religious traditions to which they adhereAmong the ethnic Romanians, the folk costume has been tenaciously retained in the rural areas, and virtually every county has its own variant of colour and style. Silk, the weaving of which was long the occupation of peasant women in the south and southwest, has lent much to the beauty of local folk costumes, especially the richly embroidered blouses and head scarves.
