Herring brings back memories. Not to my liking I never made the connection Sledz and herring until now.

pickled herring is really a jewish thing not polish but since there were many, many jews in PL before the wars, poles now eat the hell out of them.

JUst for the knowledge: The main Polish Jewish foods are:
Cholent (beans, potatos, barley and meat cooked before sabbath and then left to stew slowly on a fire over night and eaten the next day.)

Holopches (stuffed cabbage)
Gefilte Fish (originally carp stuffed with chopped fish, but now ususally just the stuffing)
Chrain (ground horseradish, usually mixed with red beets) used as a sauce for the gefilte fish
Kishke (stuffed intestine)
P'tchah (jelled calves hooves with pepper and eggs - looks ugly but tastes good)
Tzimmes (sweet carrot pudding)
Compot (fruit soup - served cold)

Yehudi, what about kogel mogel?

I see polish cuisine is pretty much the same as russian. Cool. Names of the most of dishes are the same.

kogel mogel

There's a thing called "gogel mogel" made from eggs that's supposed to be good for a sore throat. Is that what you mean? Or is that a kind of Kugel (noodle or potato pudding)?

Yes, kogel mogel is just raw egg with sugar, optionally some people also add cocoa powder. I used to eat this as a child in the 80's when sweets were hard to get. :)

Well, now I know it's kogel mogel and not gogel mogel. My grandfather used to recommend that for a sore throat. I always thought it was a Jewish thing. Is that a regular Polish food?

I actually think that it is. Is it popular in Pl? Hmm, hard to say. All my friends know what it is. Polishgirltx also seems to know it, so it can't be that unpopular. :)

In reply to Yehudi

"Kogel mogel" are egg yolks stirred with lots of sugar (2 tsp per egg yolk) until very light yellow. Later a little bit of lemon juice, some "spirytus" (rectified spirit) or instant coffee granules can be added. Usually it is eaten just like this with a spoon but can be also treated as sauce for desserts.

Thanks for the recipe. My sore throat from October is better now, but I'll remember it for next winter.
