Another favourite meat dish is golonko, pork shank. It must be boiled for 2 hours and then it is so tender that it melts on one`s tongue. Unfortunately, it is very fattening. Here, served with buckwheat.  |

Polish cuisine borrows a lot from neighbours` kitchen. E.g., pierogis are more Russian than Polish. Golonko seems to be German. Leczo - a Hungarian dish with various kinds of vegetables and sausage.  Fry onion  Sprinkle abundantly with red sweet peppers and fry  Sprinkle abundantly with mushrooms and fry  Sprinkle abundantly with tomatoes and fry  Add zucchini and fry  Fry sausage on a separate pan  and then add to the dish Serve with whatever you want. Mostly solo. Here, on ice. Ooops, on rice, of course.  |

Jaga....two helpings it must be really tasty. My mom would make this for our Christmas dinners. The peirogi were tiny but did not look like these do. These look more like Italian tortellini which are a tiny stuffed pasta.
Pawian you say that golumbki are a German derivative. I have never seen any recipes similar...but do for Russian an Ukraine recipes.....are you sure about the German. Then why also if one refers to a golumbki it is always associated with Poland.

 They are delicious. It is only beef or lamb marinated and grilled. So if you like grilled meat and veggies(onions, tomatoes,musrooms,peppers) you would like our kebabs. Most of the time we refer to anything stuck on a stick and grilled as a kebab...can be shrimp on the barbie too. yummm!!! Hmm, it is not kebab in the picture, it is szaszłyk (szaszliki), something a bit different. Kebab in Poland is a a bun ripped on one side with meat-vegetable stuffing inside. Meat is delivered in balls  That`s how meat is fried. The ball of meat is going round and the assistant shreds it into tiny pieces which then land in the bun.  Kebab -  How you eat it  I must say it all looks really disgusting. And eating it is a very dirty job - you can`t avoid smearing your hands and face completely. Yuk!! |

Pawian ,
My photo is what we call here kebobs/kabobs and usually it is served with a salad and rice on the side.
Your photo is what we know it here as Gyros (Greek Sandwiches) served in a pita bread which looks very much like your photo. The way they are sold here are usually in a mall so it is fast food items that are cooked on a grill right in front of you. (and if you order this in a Greek restaurant (inside dining) it is usually served with pita on the side which you would use to pick up the meat with sort of Mediterrean style eating (with fingers). The mall version we have here (although I have never seen the meat hanging as such and maybe would not be approved by the Health Dept here) is thin slices of beef that is cooked on the grill and as the meat is cooking the chef will be fast chopping it and turning over till cooked. Then thrown into a pita bread, with your toppings, sometimes a yogurt sauce, tomaotes, onions, lettuce and rolled and served.

Any good recipes for white borscht would be greatly appreciated. There are two recipes because white borsch for many Poles is the same as żurek. They look and taste similar. In order to make white borsch you need sauerkraut sauce. In order to make żurek you need żurek. It is water in which you dissolve some flour with salt and local spices (garlic) and keep for a few days until it turns into a tasty, sour, a bit bubbly liquid. You can drink it solo or use in soups. Żurek water and sauerkraut are easily available in Poland. Here, żurek poured into a glass ready to drink.  What about America? |
