Polish cuisine - traditional food
This is a thread that I will develop and expand for a long time. I will focus on our traditional, polish food, although we have different types of restaurants: Indian, Italian, Japanese, French, Turkish and many others so there is something for everyone. However, this is a blog about Poland, so I will write about tasty Polish cuisine.
We have really tasty cuisine. Our traditional dishes date back to the last few centuries and are related to our history.
Polish cuisine has used the gifts of nature for centuries. There are many lakes and forested regions in our country, so it is no surprise that our dishes are prepared with mushrooms, game or fish. In the Baltic, you can choose from a variety of fish such as cod, herring, halibut or flounder. Fish soup is very popular. My family lives near the lakes so its custom is to smoke trout and whitefish - fish that live in lakes. Every year we also go to the forest to pick mushrooms. We dry them, freeze them (and then make mushroom soup or sauce) and close them in jars in vinegar. They are a tasty addition to numerous dishes.
Personally, I can recommend chicken soup "rosół", sour rye soup "żurek" with hard-boiled egg and white sausage, but we also have tripe soup "flaki" and even blood soup! called "Czernina" and, of course, lots of different types of noodles, dumplings, pancakes and meat dishes such as pork chop "kotlet schabowy", goulash, hunter's stew or polish "bigos".
In my photos the main roles are played by: pork tenderloin goulash with forest mushrooms, regional dishes from Podlasie like: kartacze, potato sausage and potato cake; polish dumplings called kopytka, tripe soup and sour rye soup, and of course dumplings "pierogi”.
