Food and Meals of Romania by: Stanton Doyle Breakfast in Romania is usually small. You'd eat something along the lines of bread, butter, jam and tea. The largest meal is eaten in the early afternoon. Main meals are usually meat-based. Other popular dishes include sarmale which is cabbage leafs stuffed with rice and meat. I like this article because it shows the different meals and dishes that Romanians eat. It's always nice to learn about food that you don't eat on a daily basis but somebody else does. It's important because food is usually what brings a family, or culture together so without that, it wouldnt be as signfifcant.
