Traditional Polish Foods

No, it isn`t pc, it is just pure decency.

That's a tough one. There's a few. If I had to choose it would be Zrazy.

Sernik for dessert.

You're right. Polish women can get angry if they're hungry too! LOL

However, Polish cheese cake can't even hold a candle to New York cheese cake from Junior's!
Just demonstrating a little local pride, Feniks:-)

You mean those beef wrappings, stuffed with pickled cucumber???

Wow, I have almost forgotten this dish exists in Polish cuisine. We have never made it.
After your reminder, I need to think of it.

Ok, you will say that I have never tried Cheese cake from Juniors.
But I have tried many Cheese Cakes from across the world and as delicious as some of them were, Polish has always been the best!

I would have to disagree. For me, that type of cheesecake is too rich and creamy. Polish cheesecake is not as dense and 'heavy'.


Nothing wrong with that!


That's the dish although I've had it with other fillings not just pickled cucumber. I think there's quite a lot of variation with filling content.

I also really like Pierogi Ruskie and the pierogi stuffed with lung although I've forgotten the name of it now.

American cakes in general seem far too over the top for me.
Keep it basic, keep it tasty and don't add too many distractions to it.

For me they're too sugary. I once made a Red Velvet Cake for a friend's birthday and found an American recipe for it. I don't like that cake much anyway but for me it was way too sweet. She loved it but I could barely eat it.

I too hate overly sweet cakes or deserts.....disgusting!

I don't think of that as overly sweet...

If you want to go straight to a sugar coma, try Sicilian cassatina, it's like 5 pounds of sugar in a 3 pound sack...

Here are some easy Polish recipes for beginners.

I once sampled some sernik at a Polish eatery in Clifton, NJ,
though not in Poland.

It was certainly acceptable, but not having grown up either in Poland
or even a Polish-speaking household recently over from the Old Country,
I really can't judge, Feniks. You may well be right:-)

??? I have no idea yet. Good riddle. :):):):

For me, yes. The few American cake/dessert recipes I've tried have been heavy on the sugar. Not to say that other countries don't have sweet cakes too.....

I haven't heard of Sicilian cassatina but the marzipan would make me want to try it.....


You've never tried this?

To be honest the thought of trying lungs was a bit off-putting but I really love these pierogi.

Not only never tried but even never heard of. Amasing!!!
Actually, I never eat lungs. I prefer brain, liver and kidneys. And tongues.

I've never tried brains. I'm not overly keen on liver but I love kidneys.

You should try the lung pierogi.

I`d better not. What if the owner of the animal was a smoker?? Passive smoking also make your lungs prone to cancer. I don`t want to get such a disorder coz it is unnice.

The lungs would be from livestock so it's not like the animal is going to be sat in the house with a smoker......

You've eaten brains and you've eaten steak tartare if I remember correctly. Raw meat can contain salmonella, E Coli, etc but you're fussy over eating lungs? Strange.

But a smoking owner can sit with an animal in its sty...... Who can guarantee he/she didn`t???????????


It isn`t a problem. I am immune to salmonella and even if not, diarrhoea is a much lighter disorder than cancer........

Lungs are also popular in Bavaria, e.g. Kalbsbeuscherl!
