  1. – hash browns with sour cream

    – shnitzel with cabbage and potatoes

    – beef rolls

    – łazanki (type of pasta with sourkraut and wild moshrooms)

    – krupnik soup

    – sour cucumber soup

    – żurek soup

    – zapiekanka (baguette baked in oven with cheese, champignions fried with onion, and chives)

  3. Kapusta, mało salne ogurki. Barszcz czerwony. Wiejska sausage. Gorlonko. Belvedere. Zubrowka +jabko mięta sok. Piwo + malina

  4. Yeah! You should also try,
    -Pierogi (dumplings with various fillings)

    -Placki ziemniaczane (potato pancakes)

    -Barszcz czerwony (Beetroot soup)

    -Kapuśniak (soup made from sweet cabbage or sauerkraut it differs a little bit in taste)

    -Kaszanka (blood sausage, made from pigish blood, grouts and liver)

    -Grochówka (split pea soup)

    -Krupnik (soup made of grouts or rice)

    -Bigos (cooked sauerkraut with various ingredients, should be quie fat and with lotsof meat)

    -Drożdżowiec (Kind of sweet but not much, pastry made from yeast, best with butter)

    This is what comes to my mind in first place if it goes to Polish quisine. But there is much more.

  5. Nothing beats a good quality żurek soup with sausage and hard boiled eggs.

    If you prefer sweets: makowiec (poppy seed roll cake) with candied oranges on top, or classic filled donut with rose jam and sugar icing.

  11. Bigos. Miód pitny. Oscypek/Redykołka. Bryndza. Zapiekanka. Pierogi ruskie. Ogorki Kiszone. Barszcz czerwony. Krupnik (soup, not the alcohol… although the alcohol too).

  12. Flaczki

    My American GF loves zupa ogórkowa (pickle soup) and żurek

  13. Ok, going by the food mentioned in the article:

    1. żurek – while I’m not a fan, yes, people generally love it and it’s worth to at least try
    2. flaki – as above, but while good or passable żurek is easy to find, good flaki may be harder so don’t get discouraged on your 1st try
    3. racuchy – 1st time hearing it listed as a Christmas dish but maybe I’m living under a rock, also contrary to what is written you can find it in many bars and restaurants but I strongly advise against eating them there unless you get a good review from someone, good racuchy are hard to come by and you may need to do some research or bribe someone to invite you to their home
    4. makowiec – make sure it’s good quality bakery, not supermarket one

    Foods not mentioned, which is a heresy:

    1. Bigos, especially homemade one
    2. Babcia’s schabowy, another bribe recomended
    3. Bread and sausages in general
    4. Grochówka, especially the military style
    5. Zapiekanka – Polish street food, can’t go wrong with that
    6. Rosół – Polish Sunday/holiday/sick day soup with egg pasta

  24. It’s a crime that no one is mentioning chruściki!

    I think they’re called angel wings in English, at least that’s what the supermarket box said, the the bought ones were NOTHING like the ones I made with my babcia back in Poland!

  25. Makowiec. It is a cake with poppy sead.
    Schabowy. It’s a pork chop.
    Any thing from Magda Gestler restaurant

  27. DUDE LISTEN TO ME. When you’re in Poland just go to Zapiecek restaurant. They have THE BEST food eva mate. Trust me its perfect. Go, thank me later
