Possibly the stodgiest food known to mankind, these are something of a local speciality: huge balls of polenta (known locally as mamaliga) with a cheesy centre.
Best served with a big dollop of butter and salty yoghurt poured on top - no really, it should come as part of the package. Well worth skipping breakfast and possibly lunch for. Dieters beware, though; they might well pack a bit of cholesterol.
Most traditional restaurants in the area, priced four Euros or so.
