Food / Polish Duck Soup [117]
I grew up with Polish grandparents and czernina was a staple...Babci used to kill the duck herself. The kartofle were fabulous...any of my non-Polish-American friends just about gag when I tell them about it...usually in the context of enjoying the foods that you were exposed to as a child and they don't seem strange.
Interestingly, the grandmother from Warsaw made the better of the soups...the grandmother from Galicia didn't quite make the grade with czernina.
