Food / what type of food in poland,and maybe Krakow? [18]

the ones ive seen really didnt answer the question, ive seen that they are passed down through blood. my great great grandparents were born in Krakow, they came to the states at the age of 15, and i dont believe they were naturalized or anything

is $1.20 US a good price for 1/4 lb of Krakowska ?
