Ia has a simple cut, and is usually white and made of hemp, flax cotton or silk, over which geometrical or floral motifs are embroidered in colored threads.Motifs differ from one region to another. The used ornaments, colors and materials represented a social mark, age, marital status, religious affiliation and place of origin within the country. There is also a day dedicated to the celebration of this shirt, namely the 24th of June. 🧆 Mititei/mici - (both Romanian words meaning "little ones", "small ones") is a dish from the Romanian cuisine, consisting of grilled ground meat rolls in cylindrical shape made from a mixture of pork/beef/lamb with spices such as garlic, black pepper, thyme, coriander, anise, savory, and sometimes a touch of paprika; often served with french fries, mustard and pickled vegetables.
