History

A popular story claims that the mici were invented in the late 19th century by one Iordache Ionescu, a cook working in one of the many busy pubs in the Lipscani district of Bucharest, named "La o idee" (roughly "The Idea"). According to the legend, Ionescu was famous for his fresh sausages, but during a particularly busy day he ran out of casing and the idea of placing only the filling of the sausage on the grill came to him. The improvised new dish proved an instant hit and their popularity continued to grow ever since. The famous nearby restaurant Caru' cu Bere is also sometimes given as the birthplace of the mici. Regardless, the dish is first mentioned in 1870 by French-Romanian journalist Ulysse de Marsillac, and around 1872 they get their name from writer and humorist N. Similar varieties of skinless sausages appear in contemporary cooking books by Ecaterina Steriady (1871) and J.C. Hințescu (1877). Throughout the years, the recipe lost some of the original ingredients, such as caraway seeds and allspice, and began being made with pork, rather than beef and lamb. Sodium bicarbonate, a raising agent, is also commonly added to the modern Romanian recipe, which improves both the flavor and the texture.

Origins of mici:

The story goes that Iordache Ionescu was attempting to make traditional sausages, in a restaurant in Bucharest in the late 19th century called "La Iordache" but he ran out of casing, so he decided to form the sausages without it, resulting in the skinless, elongated shape that we now associate with “mititei” or “mici.”
