Merged: Whats your favourite polish dish?

One of my friends is from Poland and I want to impress him when he comes over for dinner next week - what type of dish would you recommend? thanks

every poles likes pierogi

Not every, and it is a hassle to make.

Kotlet Schabowy (pork steak hammered flat and breadcrumbed) is in many ways the national dish.

Kotlet Schabowy is very similar to Austrian/German Schnitzel. Easier to do than pierogi. Can also be done with chicken fillet. It's very tasty.

Different kinds of soups are also very commonly served in PL, especially as an entrée (e.g. barszcz czerwony, rosół).

was going to suggest that too!
a great dish, served with some salad etc.

And mashed potatoes without butter or milk added but with the fat from the pan drizzled over. Delicious!

stop it Jonny you're making me hungry.....
OP I am sure you will find a good recipe/instructions for Kotlet Schabowy online. but if you don't, PM me as have finally perfected this dish after lots of practice......;)

The coating always either falls off or burns when I do it!

yes I know that one, JM, gotta deep fry at a good temp.

Golabki, (Stuffed Cabbage), Smoked Kielbasa, (Sausage), Crispy Potato Pancakes, just a few, and there are many more.
Most Polish food is great, just some are greater than others.

Pro tip:

Coat the meat in flour.
Then coat the meat in egg.
Then coat the meat in breadcrumbs.
Shallow fry on high.

The combination of flour and egg will keep the breadcrumbs on. Tried and tested by natives for generations :-)
Enjoy!

this is exactly how i make it and my coating has never fallen off. golabki is my all time favourite, but as with pierogi, its time consuming to make. stick with the kotlet dish ,its relatively failsafe,quick to make and lovely with salad. personally i prefer this made with chicken. good luck with whatever you choose to cook!

Schabowy

Hmm, if I was able to take only one dish to a desert island, it would be pierogis stuffed with meat and abundantly sptrinkled with skwarki. Everything floating in melted lard fat. After having such a dish, you don`t heel hungry for hours and can built a lot of infrastructure on your island very quickly.

Ruskie for me :)
But then bigos, gołąbki or fasolka po bretońsku would be great too
