In Poland there is a well-known saying, "Proverbs are the wisdom of nations". Like
most Poles I have heard the proverb, “The grass is greener on the other
side of the fence” meaning that we undervalue familiar things and may
not even know what treasures we possess. One such treasure is Polish
cuisine. It is rarely featured in restaurant, which usually offer
“universal” dishes, although such local delicacies as kartacze (potato
dumplings with minced meat, also known as cepelinai), kolduny (dough
dumplings stuffed with meat) and kolaczki (sweet cakes with cheese
filling_ are served more and more often.
Here, I will describe simple
dishes such as krupnik (barley soup), bigos (cabbage stew) and pierogi,
which are always met with enthusiasm, regardless of the age or personal
preferences of the eater.
It is foods such as Polish herring, zrazy, red beets and mazurek cake that make Polish cookery so worthy of interest. Printed in Poland. Metric weights.
