Pleșcoi sausages are a Romanian sausage made from mutton spiced with chili peppers and garlic, traditionally made in and around the Pleșcoi village, in the Buzău County of Romania. If the mutton contains too much fat, it can be balanced with beef, but with no more than half of the mutton content.
Serbian origin
A story says that the recipe for sausage Pleșcoi is due to a Serbian greengrocer moved to Pleșcoi in the nineteenth century with a Serbian sausage recipe: the Babic. But in a region where the sheep is predominant, unlike Serbia, the merchant was inspired to adapt the recipe to the local stress and new flavors masked by strong spices, and then by drying and smoking sausages.
