Dzien dobry! (POLAND!!!)

Square of Warsaw at night.

KRAKOW



POLISH FOOD
consists of lots of lard-cooked things
above: cabbage rolls stuffed with rice and meat, mushroom sauce
above: complimentary "Polish peasant bread with lard"
(Yes, that is a whole little vat of lard. just for us. mmmm...)
Perogi, yum.

CRAZY POLISH SIGNS

So this restaurant lured us in with the promise of "a greeting gift", and then once inside I thought this was the best menu I had ever seen. Here are some highlights: (And I really shouldn't laugh at their English translations, as I can speak NO Polish (po polsku).

"Piglet in plums and garlic"
"...slaughting of pigs..."
"Fare for a woman" (thin veal petals)
"Winged Poland: that is chicken wings roasted in honey and sesame"


below: please note the poster for "Friends". If you know what the American logo looks like you will laugh at Polish for FRIENDS. Sooooo many consonants!!
