What are common Polish dishes?!


Question:

What are common Polish dishes?


Answers:

Polish food varies by region and the names for Polish food change by region, but this is from my region of Poland (Bialystok-area, north eastern Poland).

Most of these words have letters that don't exist in the english alphabet so I just used the closest letter that resembles it.

1.) Pierogi - Little ravioli-like pastas stuffed with cheese, meat, fruit, etc.

2.) Bigos - "Hunter's Stew" - Chopped cabbage and meat stew (meat can be any scraps you have left over from other meals - my mom is making some this weekend with leftover sausage and then some ham she bought).

3.) Kotlety Schabowe - Or, breaded fried pork loin, almost like country-fried chicken. You can also make it with chicken.

4.) Kotlety Mielone - a bit like meatballs; it's just seasoned ground pork or ground beef that is shaped into a ball and fried.

5.) Golabki - a cabbage leaf, stuffed with ground meat and rice (typically either pork or beef) and boiled in a tomato-like sauce.

6.) Faworki - A light, airy pastry (with a dough similiar to puff pastry dough) covered in powdered sugar.

7.) Barszcz - Or, "borscht" to Americans, it's a beet soup, spiced and seasoned, and for Christmas it is traditionally eaten with "uszka", which means "little ears", which are little pieces of pasta stuffed with mushrooms.

8.) Kolaczki - A type of cookie with a dab of jam in it.

9.) Flaczki - A soup made out of tripe. Unbelievably delicious, well-seasoned and, if you get past knowing what "tripe" is, you'll be absoutely amazed by how good it is.

10.) Placki Ziemniaczane - Potato pancakes; similiar to Jewish latkes.

11.) Mizeria - sliced cucumbers in a sour cream sauce, a bit of a salad/appetizer dish.

12.) Nalesniki - A crepe-like pancake stuffed with sweet cheese, then rolled and usually topped with jam or preserves.

13.) Paczki - A type of deep-fat fried ball of dough, often filled with a jam, jelly or custard. Very much like a doughnut.

There's the ones that come immediately to my head, but there are many, many different uniquely Polish meals.
