Mici Sausage

Cultural Context

Mici, or Mititei, are a beloved Romanian street food, traditionally enjoyed during summer barbecues and festive gatherings. Their origins trace back to the 19th century, when they were created as a way to use leftover meats. Mici are often served with mustard and fresh bread, symbolizing hospitality and community. Today, this dish has gained popularity beyond Romania, with variations appearing in neighboring countries and among diaspora communities.
