ce mi-ai facut, Irina!!! acum trebuie sa ma duc sa-mi iau capsuni si smintina.
mi-aduc aminte din copilarie, in casa bunicii de linga Vatra Dornei, ne umplea un castron cu fragi si smintina, o bucata de mamaliga rece, si asta era - raiul papilelor gustative. :)
Love this! I'm new to substack and found your blog. This post brought back great memories with my grandma, from Italy. I grew up eating a lot of polenta. :)
I am definitely going to make this. Maybe tomorrow. Thanks for sharing the recipe and history behind it. My father and his family were from Basarabia. They left in 1940.
It’s nice to meet you @Shelley Marie Motz and thank you for reading the story. So many people left in ‘40, after the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact. It must have been heartbreaking.

Hello Melissa, it's good to meet you. We love cornmeal in Romania, and it is a staple ingredient in many traditional dishes.

Definitely heartbreaking. One day I hope to return to visit.
