How often do you have Polish Food?

You learn something new every day :D I always thought it was a Scandinavian dish originally. Though when I read the link, I thought "wtf is a "neighbour herring"?? lol

The Slovakians claim it as theirs too :D


Norweigan I would have said.


The clue is in your post - its like a thin grilled german sausage (I had it when I went to see Sparta play in CZ) - Will be having it when the markets come to Manchester next week too...

Not a patch on the mighty Slavia. ;)

Whats the name of it? I tried to explain it to my butcher, but he had no clue what I was talking about.

Borsch, vareniki (pierogi), knedli, guliash, golubci (those rolled into cabbage leaves), kolbasa (kielbasa) all that I eat occasionally. Polish food? :) Ok I agree... I would only need then to start a thread "How often do Poles eat Russian food?"

Even though I haven't been on Polish cuisine for a long time, I believe I can switch to it easily as it doesn't distinguish drastically from that of Russian.

Read the link :) It is a typical Dutch dish that has been copied by Scandinavian and lots of other countries, but none of them make it as good as the Dutch do. I'm really not saying this because I am Dutch.

M-G (yum!)

From what I can gleen from the net this is what they are called:

Nuremberg style bratwurst

But Butty might be able to shed some light on if this is true.

Lithuanian 'Zeppelin'
Like a led Zeppelin, guaranteed to clog up every major artery.
But seriously, it must have come from surviving the long cold winters.

That's the one, Seanny. A heart attack on a plate. They should aim it at the Scottish market, it'd go down well there ;)

RN, I can't imagine that that sausage served at footie stadiums is anything popular. If my memory serves me correctly, it was mainly hotdogs that were being served at Piast's stadium. The shorter, stubbier ones also. Do you mean parówki? I don't think you are describing frankfuterki (Frankfurters). I bought a good quality parówka once before a local footie match. Anything longer is generally classed as kiełbasy. Could you describe it more!? Almost everything is served with a chunk of bread and some mustard. Check Google Images for parówka, it is great when piping hot.

Youz'd probably deep fry it :)

space cakes?

Nah, Seanny, it's already dripping in fat but stranger things have happened. Some milk bars do pierogi that way but you can always pour it out if you don't like it.

pierogi are not vareniki and they are not russian, you russians think everything on earth started in russia:P
and wódka is polish.
and oscypek too.
and borsch originates from ukraine not russia and it tastes different from polish barszcz.
and in ukraine every soup is called borsch.
and and and...
east europeans have almost the same traditional dishes. the difference is that eg. polish people eat more potatoes and ukrainians like very fatty food. if you think polish food is fatty go to ukraine, ok.nobody asked anyway:P

I like fatty food...I might have to give that a go!

McDonalds is coming out with the McPierogi soon..Smaczengo:)

What's the difference between your pierogi and vareniki?
I do not have a habit to label things "Russian". :)



lol
Well... considering that Mendeleev was partially Polish you're right to a large extent.


In some areas they probably do but those who I've talked to named that way only beet-soup. So do Russians. Of course taste of all dishes differs depending on particular area. I bet my neughbours' borsch is something different. :)

You're right though saying that Ukrainian food is generally fatty. in Ukraine they threw to borsch the whole piece of salo (pig fat) thus you could only eat it while it was hot. :)

i ate vareniki prepared by a Ukrainian girl and they tasted different from my pierogi. if you don't believe me i can send you a plate of pierogi!

I can easily believe you. An apple-pie (sharlotka) cooked by two different persons living next to each other (no matter whether it's in Poland or in Russia) will taste differently. I just thought you knew of some basic distinctions in preparation. I for one do not know of any. Do you?

in ukraine :
pierogi - baked
very small pierogi with meat - pelmini (from siberea)
very large pierogi with meat - manti vareniki - boiled

you can serach yandex.ru for different

We have Polish food most every day.But we also like other ethnic food which also tastes really good !!!!!!
