This could be a dumb question, but what do the people living in Poland like to eat at home? What is the most eaten Polish food?
What kind of a meal would a average Polish family have if they were eating Polish foods? Why do the average Polish family like to eat one thing or another?
I am looking for the foods from Poland, that the Polish-Americans miss the most.
Mike

I'll try to help you (though we are not typical):
Fried fish with mashed pots and sauerkraut
Barszcz ukrajinski (sometimes with boiled egg or broad beans)
Żurek (without meat)
Some kind of salad with peas, mayonnaise and carrots
Sardine, mayonnaise and apple
We also eat pierogi, but not at home. Otherwise we eat plenty of Italian, Spanish, British (I include British-Indian with that, if I may use that term) and "not sure where it comes from* food.

I won`t talk about my tastes because I like a lot of things which can be seen through my photos. |

I was astonished to read Mike's question - after all those kitchen threads and culinary photos. I don't really know what 'average' Polish family likes to eat. I don't know what Mike means by average. Polish cuisine in general does however have some unique traits. This is how I see them, and of course it is just my personal viewpoint: 1. a lot of fermented food is eaten, from cucumbers, through cabbage, and sorrel to milk. 2. Since Poland has been and partly still is densely covered with forests, a lot of mushrooms and berries and other food from forest groundcover is eaten, in addition to most obvious forest food, the wild meat 3. Since Poland has been and partly still is densly covered with fields, a lot of mealy and potatoe foods are eaten: pierogi, kluski, dense soups, and one million+  dishes from potatoes. 4. Since the lakes and rivers - the fish are eaten from the sea to the mountains (in fact the best pstr±g-trout is in the mountains). 5. Since the Poles are a patriotic lot they eat (add to many dishes) a lot of white sour cream and eat a lot of beet soup (barszcz) which to non-Poles has a strange colour,much to vibrant for something edible. |

Tufta, excellent lecture. I will have to remember it to use here and there. How about copyright? Will it be enough when I mention: by Tufta? |
