Polish food in Pictures.

these look good :)

you made this from scratch? care to share the method?

Am going to będzin next two week do any body know any good restuarant where i can get good food

all of the pictures of food are making me hungry! even the ones with cabbage & sasauge, the two of the 3 foods i hate most

Me kaczka z jabłkami (and some good ale, of course)

Quite ironic but kaczka in Russian is "utka" and we also cook it with "jabloki". So if I put "p" in front of Russian "duck", I could have post pictures of our pres with apples. :)

rofl. good one.

I need to cook some Polish food soon and get some new pictures in here. Been doing a lot of cooking but not Polish.

A friend of mine was telling me tonight about nalesniki. I had never heard of it until he explained it. Anyone have any pictures of that?

naleśniki = crêpe

omg.. :o u all made me tasty now :|
I just love Polish food

I may make it tomorrow. Maybe I will post some pics. I meant to post some pics of my foray into kopytka, but they are still in the camera.

Ah they look nice enough. I'll have to get them from somewhere.


Oh yes that would be good. And the kopytka as well. And anything else that anybody happens to have. :)

OK Here goes with the kopytka. Can't say it is as good as Babcia's, but it passed the "Won't Make You Vomit" Test:

To be continued...

• 
  Mash the Potatoes

  Rice them - Warm first
  
• 
  Add Potato Flour and some regular flour
  
• 
  Add an Egg Too.
  

Part Deux!

  Season with Salt and Pepper
  
• 
  Knead - Be sure to remove rings...
  
• 
  Ready to roll out...
  
• 
  Rolling Rolling Rolling! The fun part.
  

Serve with bacon, sour cream and green onions. Maybe tomorrow, I will show you how to ruin nalesniki!

• 
  Cut into bite sized Morsels

  Don't get interrupted whilst frying :-(
  

Good job Fred (multi-talented ;)

I am now hungry and will have to raid the cupboards...

Thanks for posting, they're great. :)

Thanks PD! Smacznego!

nice..

how much is "some" flour? and how many taters did use?

oh,good! i like it !!!

Depends on how much you didn't eat from the night before! :-)


It comes down to texture, and how much potato is left over.

The texture is somewhere between Goo, and Crumbly. As if that helps, huh?

I always look at this thread when Im hungry :D

This thread makes me hungry! ;)

Mr Chopin, do you have a recipe for kopytka with proper measurements?

the ones he posted are close enough.. very polish recipe indeed. :D

thanks fred.

Yes the pictures are great but I could do with a written recipe with measurements in it, not that I really like following a recipe but when I make something the first time it's always handy... :)

Is that any help ?

I put two links up and they both use similar amounts apart from the salt !

My Mom never weighed anything and most Polish people just instinctively know how much to add. I learnt by watching my Mom lot when I was little.

:)

Cheers for that Lir. :)

I only use recipes when starting off something new. After the first time I don't bother with them. Same with weighing, first time weigh, after that don't bother. ;)

Yes I'm just the same as well especially with some traditional English dishes <first time I made Yorkshire Pudding was a nightmare Lol>


Yvw. :)

I am the same, except when making pastry dishes as it really does need to be exact in that case.

As for meat, fish and veg...I just keep tasting until it tastes right.

You got the quotes mixed up Cardno.

PD said that up there LOL.
