Same?

Isn't it the same dish as [1]?--Mycomp (talk) 03:58, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, but there are similar dishes troughout southeastern Europe and the Middle East, maybe even dating back to antiquity. Different meat is used, different spices and herbs and other side dishes. In Greece they call one popular variation Soutzukakia Smyrneika, the dominating spice is cumin, served with rice and tomato sauce (it originated in Smyrna, todays Izmir in Turkey.) etc. pp.--77.117.250.236 (talk) 06:44, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

According to the original recipe of Ionescu Iordache ...

... there's no lamb meat in the mici. According to some speculations based on historical arguments, sheep's meat came to be added due to poverty, to make the mici cheaper - cattle was typically raised for milk and field work, and beef was expensive. Also, most Romanians nowadays dislike the specific smell and taste of lamb, not eating it even on Easter, when it is traditionally eaten, and therefore most mici sold in supermarkets today don't contain lamb - just pork and beef. The original recipe, transcribed from a letter kept in the archives of the Romanian Academy, can be found here: http://www.cevabun.ro/mititeii-de-la-carul-cu-bere-povestea-reteta-proba/. (Oddly enough, most Romanians are also not aware that the original mici recipe didn't contain any lamb. Also, the original recipe contained a lot more spices than mici contain nowadays - spices are also expensive, proportionally speaking, which is why supermarkets use them sparingly, and almost nobody prepares the mixture at home anymore.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.114.14.97 (talk) 17:12, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
