Mici are skinless grilled minced-meat sausages seasoned with garlic, pepper and thyme, served with mustard, chips and pickles, often with a beer.
Mici, also called mititei, are a Bucharest favourite whose origin is disputed. A popular legend places the first ones at Iordache's tavern at Strada Covaci 3 in the Old Town, where the owner ran out of casings and grilled the meat without any; Playtech calls the story poorly supported. Journalist N. T. Orășanu is credited with the name mititei. Caru' cu bere publishes a letter dated 16 June 1920 with its beef recipe, seasoned with pepper, thyme, allspice, coriander, cumin, star anise, baking soda and garlic. Many Romanians eat mici at barbecues on 1 May.
