Romanian cuisine blends Balkan, Ottoman, Hungarian, and Slavic influences around pork, cornmeal, and soured soups. Sarmale (cabbage rolls), mămăligă (polenta-like cornmeal), mici/mititei (grilled minced-meat rolls), and ciorbă (sour soup soured with borș) are staples. Distinct from Hungarian and Bulgarian cooking through the centrality of mămăligă and the sour-borș souring tradition.
