As a fun fact, in 2008, in the village of Turia, Covasna County, the locals made bulz as a roll 150 meters long and 32 cm thick. They used 400 kg of cornmeal and 150 kg of cheese. The bulz was made using 15 cauldrons, each with a capacity of 50 liters, brought by shepherds from sheepfolds all around the area. This earned them an entry into the Guinness Book of Records.

If you go camping, and make an open fire, you can have the outdoors version of this dish. Make polenta as you would at home, then let it cool. Make small balls of cheese, then cover them in polenta, making moderate sized balls. Place them directly on the hot coals to bake, until they get a good crust. Of course, you can also prepare the same version in a baking tray in your oven.
