Poland Is Different

UniquePoland Catchthe European Sun Polish cuisine Each region in Poland has its own original and unique dishes, sometimes only differing in name. These are various dishes prepared with love by our grandmothers and the recipes are passed down from generation to generation (grandma’s bigos will never taste the same as the one that mom makes). Often these are dishes with unique and unusual ingredients. Bigos Bigos is a dish consisting mainly of sauerkraut cooked with tomato puree and with the addition of meat, various types of sausage and mushrooms, always served hot. This is one of the most popular dishes in Poland. White sausage - biała kiełbasa A type of sausage which, unlike others, is not smoked, but is cooked fresh. It is made of medium minced pork (sometimes with the addition of beef) in the natural small pork intestine. Spiced with garlic, pepper, marjoram and salt which additionally preserves it. Blood sausage - kaszanka Sausage made from groats, blood and offal such as liver, lungs, tongues, pork rinds and fat. The basic spices are onion, pepper and marjoram. After mixing the ingredients, they are put into the intestine and cooked. Later, you can cook it a second time, fry it with onions in a frying pan or with sauerkraut on the grill. Blood soup - czernina Soup made with chicken broth and duck or rabbit blood (usually duck). The characteristic sweet and sour taste gives it sugar and vinegar mixed with blood to prevent it from clotting. most often it is served with noodles, pasta or potatoes. Pierogi The most popular Polish dish made of a special hand- madedough and filled with various stuffing such as fruit, cottage cheese, sauerkraut with mushrooms, spinach, meat, potatoes and onions. They can be cooked, baked, fried or grilled. Knuckle - golonka Veryfatty part of pork with delicate meat. It is cooked together with vegetables with which it is then served. Horseradish is the most commonly used as an addition. Most often found in Polish homes before the New Year's Eve party. Brawn - salceson A typeof offal products made of pork, beef or calf head with the addition of fat, offal, blood, trimmings of meat, skins and spices. The headcheese meat is cured, cooked and seasoned accordingly. The mass prepared in this way is filled with pork stomachs or beef bladders, boiled and pressed.

The same name may be celebrated a few Times a year but people usually choose the day closest to their birthday. „Dać Ci laczki?” – slippers for guests In every Polish house we have to take off our shoes when we enter the house and it’s quite normal when a host asks if you want to get a pair of slippers because it is very „unhealthy” to walk barefoot! Polish pizza In Poland it’s normal to eat a pizza with ketchup or garlic sauce. Poles make a very rich pizza named ’rzeźnicka’ (butcher’s pizza) with A LOT of meat like sausage, salami, ham, chicken as well as an onion, cheese, EVERYTHING. Poles add kebab meat, pineapple, spinach, fish and other things to make a pizza very filling. We are all family Our parents’ best friends or family friends are called our ’aunts’ and ’uncles’ although they are not our relatives. Polish national MEMES In Poland we have our own memes with proboscis monkey. We name them Janusz, Grażyna, Pioter, Karyna, Brian and Jessica. They show our worst behavior such as being presumptuous, selfish, argumentative, and that we love all possible discounts in stores. Parawaning - windbreakers Even on windless days on Polish beaches, Poles deploy windbreakers only to designate ’their plot’ on the beach and separate themselves from other sunbathers. Thank you for your attention.
