His name is Viorel Moldovan.

Well I was talking in a general sense. And I know Aromanians are not very tall people. I take it from my distant relatives (my grand-grand-grandmother was about 150cm or a bit less ). Also, the Romanian football team is not very tall.
I'm sure you are above the average height of every Romanian.

- Nu ma nu ma iei, nu ma nu ma nu ma iei

That's Moldavian! Why does everubody asociate cheap songs like that with -ro? Even Romanians do that

 

[lucian-crusher]

mm people here associate Romanians with mamaliga and manele xD

I don't like mamaliga and I don't like manele
I knew about us being asociated with mamaliga in -bg because of Hristo Stoicikov (,,Mamaligarski out")

 

[Blush]

mamaliga is the best

 

[Alexu]

mamaliga is the best

it became a national brand

very interesting associations, I would like to see more

 

[vatroslav_cro]

Err sorry for my ignorance but....what is mamaliga??

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

I dont know what it is either

 

[AlekS]

Mamaliga is the national dish made of cornmeal. I think it should be associated with Moldova more than with Romania.

It's also wide spread in the Western Ukraine and here on the South
Though we add lard there sometimes, I like pure mamalyga without any additions.

 

[lucian-crusher]

Mamaliga = boiled corn flour with salt.
At the begining poor people in -ro where eating that instead of bread because it was cheaper. Now it's a delicatese and we usualy eat it with white cheese and sour.

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

OMG it sounds disgusting!!

 

[AlekS]

but it tastes gr8
It's not my fave dish but I like cooking it, it's simple.
I adore eating it with shashlyk ... mmmm
