Except for pierogi, I have no idea what this says. Luckily they spoke English so we got pierogi, some kind of artisan honey bread, Polish cheesecake (sernik) and apple meringue pastry. Very tasty!

(Well one of my childhood friends tried to eat it.


Once.)
Oooh-- wrong restaurant! I bet he or she felt like a heel afterwards. <yuck! yuck!>

As teens in Cleveland, my friends and I used to always go to the Polish Festival in Slavic Village and feast. Pierogi, cabbage rolls, chicken meatballs, potato pancakes, and so much more. So good! I just gained 10 pounds thinking about it. Now I need a nap. :sleep:

Polish is some of the best food on the planet. I would have been a very good Polish PPerson, of that I am sure. Detroit had a heavily populated Polish suburb/area and we used to go there often. Fond memories.

Polish food is the best!
Except for misere, a communist era salad made from cabbage and drizzled with yoghurt. Had in Poland in 1991 when the country was transitioning from communism to capitalism and democracy. Here's an anecdote: I was walking on the sidewalk in Warsaw. In front of me was an old woman, dressed in black with a babushka, hobbling along with a cane. Coming in the opposite direction was a young hip couple, hand in hand - the girl was wearing a miniskirt. After they passed the old woman, she turned around and hoisting her cane in the air she gave them what for. Obviously she was jealous of the new culture and its freedom.

That's also a type of cucumber salad, no? A few years ago here in Portland, amongst the hipster food carts, a traditional old world babcia (grandma) suddenly appeared selling amazing plates of ridiculously inexpensive Polish food. Some had that salad with it, and I thought it was pretty good. When asking her about different foods, she would pile on free samples. My co-workers and I pondered how she survived and always suggested she put out the ubiquitous tip jar, which she lacked. She always shook her head. Unfortunately as expected and to our disappointment, her cart just disappeared one day. 😞
