ROMANIA
Preparation
1. Put on the fire a deep and heavy soup pot with
one quart of water and a level tablespoonful of
salt.
2. Bring to a fast boil. Empty a box of yellow corn
meal into a soup plate.
Take a hand-lul and let it sift slowly through your
fingers into the boiling water, stirring constantly
with a large heavy wooden spoon.
Continue adding corn meal until you get the
desired thickness. Be careful when adding the
corn meal to lower the flame when it begins to
boil again, as there is a tendency to boil up
sud¬denly and you may burn yourself.
