Ciorbă de burtă (Beef Tripe Soup)

For a daring and brave experience when traveling abroad, you must try one of the most popular soups in Romania - Ciorbă de burtă (Beef Tenderloin Soup). Although the name may not sound too appealing, this is a real delicacy and sure to make you swoon.

Tripe soup is a traditional Romanian soup made with beef, garlic, sour cream, eggs, and vinegar. With a great creamy texture, this is a dish that anyone must try.

Unofficially, Romanian people call this the "queen of soups." It is considered a rare delicacy. It is sweet, sour, and nutty, with many other subtle flavors blending under the surface. The soup is so simple that it has many magical aromas: diners cannot help but wonder where they come from when the dish seems to consist of only water, bacon, and a few vegetables. The obvious answer is that all these mysterious flavors come from the chef's virtuosity, which is the explanation I often go with. Served hot with pickled chili peppers will bring unforgettable experiences for you and your diners.
