Polish cakes made in Poland

Who sings to the kids "Urodzin czas, urodzin czas!"?
You or the missus?

We all sing 100 lat aka 100 returns of the day.
Check it out:

Thanks!

When I was a guest at a cocktail party at the Polish Consulate General in New York
many years ago, I sneezed and the host said, "STO LAT!"

Guess the phrase has various applications.

Yes, it is used for birthdays and sneezing.
Amasing! I wasn`t aware of it until I read your post.

Neither was I until I heard the wish in context and understood
what the gentleman was saying.

We spoke exclusively in Polish throughout the proceedings.

Mówi się też "na zdrowie"

Sure, when toasting, not when sneezing LOL

No LOL here, we do say na zdrowie when someone sneezes.

Nice to know. Similar then to saying "Gesundheit!", I guess.

Exactly.

My wife made two cakes for our guests: carrot one and another one with plums from our orchard.

See those pastries?? Savoury flavoured with minced meat stuffing. That`s what I like - a plethora of flavours at a time - sweet, sour, savoury, etc

They look like sausage rolls to me.

Is that Sernik in 103 and 105? The one with white icing? on the top.

Yes, but the roll dough was a bit sweet, sprinkled with sesame seed. It nicely contrasted with savoury filling.


Of course. :):):)

Talking about cheese cake......
The middle one in 103 is an interesting one because I learnt about its existence this year. My colleagues call it babka serowa - cottage cheese sandcake.
I checked the recipe and one day am going to make it cos it is easy. The texture is fluffy and flavour - excellent.

Interesting. I saw that pic and thought you'd made a mistake. It looks like a load of bread rolls to me.

Indeed, but it is wet sandcake based on cottage cheese.

I haven`t shown you this collection of assorted cakes:

BTW, the last pic shows sth controversial. What, namely???

Non-Polish desserts?

No, I mean that red stuff aka decorative cherries. It has become very controversial over years. Why and to what extent?

They're not real maraschino cherries which are sour and from a variety called marasca. These cherries are bleached and then marinated in sugar syrup. They are also dyed and flavoured.

Exactly, with a special dye which has been recently banned in the US while here in Poland is legal.
