Can you please share some easy Romanian recipes for me to try?!
I am mostly interested in simple, delicious recipes.
Thank you in advance.
Answers: I saw a topic about Romanian food and people were listing their favorites. I was wondering if you could please give me some Romanian recipes to try, using American measurements, and if the ingredients are not readily found in American supermarkets, please tell me where to find them.

Try Mamaliga; it's basically american style grits or polenta. You can cook it with cream and add cheese, but it still looks/taste like grits to me.
Lots of recipes for it online-and it's super easy. Its basically the starch served at alot of meals.
You can always make a Romanian omlette, but first you have to steal 6 eggs. Borrow some milk, grub up some mushrooms from the local forest and if you can get it, a little cheese. Very authentic
Hi
First of all there's no '8 oz. Sliced banana ' in the soup just in case you took it seriously...typical Romanian humor :-)
The most popular Romanian recipe would be stuffed cabbage(or vine) leaves which is served with the recipe above. (mamaliga=polenta) and usually sour cream. That's the national dish in Transylvania anyway. Since you said you want something simple i'm not gonna write it down because whilst it's not difficult per se it does take some time and patience to make (folding all the tiny leaves lol) but it's extremely yummy so if you want feel free to email me and i'll translate it for you.
