As for the Dacians, they may well have made it with corn -- if "corn" means wheat (as it often does in England).

Do not merge Mămăligă with polenta just yet. What we need is clarification vis a vis the simmilarities or differences. Give me a couple of days while I attempt to find a middle ground on this issue. --Ezeu01:48, 5 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I assume it was someone with a tourism interest in Romania that wrote this article. I'm Romanian, was born there and emigrated to the USA several years ago. This article might be correct about these things, but it's overcomplicating a very simple peasant dish. I mean, puhleeze, you don't have to use a special pot to cook it. Good heavens!
Here's the easiest way to make your own pot of porrige-type mamaliga: It's a 6-1 water-maize ratio. Yes, 6-1. If you're scared, then make it 5-1, but no more for porrige. Get cracked maize that's very yellow, and has nice big cracked grain pieces.
First, put the water on, and add a 1/2 tsp of salt, bring to a boil and add the corn/maize. Stir, and have faith. It will come together. If it doesn't after 10-15 minutes of boiling and occasional stirring, add another tablespoon, and wait at least 2 minutes to see the effects before adding more. The moisture content of maize is variable, and a nice porrige consistency is hard to get without stiffness.
CAREFUL: Hot mamaliga bubbles up like lava and sticks like glue to your skin! Wear an oven glove on your stirring hand and keep your face away! If it's "lava" consistency, turn the heat off, you're done. But it doesn't have to have that consistency to be "done." It will stiffen up lots more as it cools.
Now turn off the heat, and add 2-3 Tbsp. of cottage cheese, and the broken peices of 2 slices of crisped bacon (Bende Kolozsvari is particularly nice) -- per quart of finished porrige. At first, eat only 1-2 cups of this. You will be shocked by how filling it is.

I don't know who did this, but the page has been ruined. It is no longer in English. I tried reverting it, but it won't let me, as the old page was much shorter.--66.136.147.109 (talk) 14:57, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
In Western Ukraine and Carpathian mountains it is called "banush" when it is in its hot and liquid form (equivalent to polenta). It is typically served with smetana and brynza. "Kulesha" is made out of the same ingredients, but the process is different, so it has the consistence of bread, is sliced, and is used like bread. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.109.220.116 (talk) 21:40, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Mamaliga is mentioned at the begining of the book "Dracula". Jonathan Harker wrote the recept in his diary. (I apologize for my poor english) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.100.46.252 (talk) 19:02, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
