Often the soup is soured by fermented bread and thickened with a roux. Often potatoes, along with sausage and hard cooked eggs are served in the soup. Easch family has their preference and recipe here is one from the Net. I had mine served at a Polish restruarnt and loved It. Note: there is no beets in the reipce! http://www.grouprecipes.com/104350/polish-white-borscht.html This Polish version of beans, has meat (usually pork, sausage or kielbasa, or bacon-Boczek) which adds extra flavour. http://www.grouprecipes.com/102785/polish-style-beans.html Buraczki is such a Polish dish. Of course beets are eaten all over the world but personally I’ve never seen them anywhere else prepared the way we prepare them in Poland. We fry them with flour, sour cream and yessss horseradish. They say that things go together like ‘peas and carrots’, well to me it should rather be as ‘beets and horseradish’ http://www.grouprecipes.com/102375/buraczki-zasmazane-braised-beets.html This recipe comes from my mommy. She loves her pickles and makes them few times a year. Although I’m not a big fan of pickles I decided to give it a try. They’re perfect with sandwiches, hot-dogs or hamburgers. Mmmmm they give American fast food a Polish kick ;) So here it comes, my mommy’s recipe: http://www.grouprecipes.com/102355/pickled-cucumbers-ogorki-malosolne.html IABLOCHNII SUP from: Women's Day International cooklbook -(1967) originally from Poland Looks like a delcious apple soup! http://www.grouprecipes.com/101104/russian-apple-soup.html Poppy seed a typical central and eastern European ingredient ..There are millions of poppy seed recipes (cakes, pies, buns, dumplings and so on) my mom makes wonderful grounded poppy seeds rustic bread ..god !eat and go to haven..amazing...:)marchwiak.:marchew means just carrot in Polish. Marchwiak is a roll cake with carrot-poppy filling from ..a beautiful region of eastern Poland, with Lublin as its capital city. Marchwiaki were traditionally baked for polands All Saint's Day. A very similar yeast roll cake, but with other filling (apple-poppy) its close to usa cinnamon roll http://www.grouprecipes.com/98373/polish-carrot-poppy-roll-cake.html Cheesecake has to be a special guest on each Polish Easter table, same as during the Christmas time, but same time it has a very privileged place in the ordinary, non-festive period. It means that it is one of the most beloved cakes in Poland and so it is, together with apple pie. Cheesecake can be baked or cooled, light as a mousse or heavy and thick, with a differrent consistency that depends on adding gelatine, sour cream, milk or cooked egg yolks, flavoured with cocoa, peaches, jello, orange succade, lemon juice or sour cherries, underside with biscuit crumbs, layer of cake or anything... The big differrence in cheesecakes worldwide is the cheese that we use. In Poland it would be twaróg, a kind of quark or curd, which can be sold already mashed into a silky cream, or you mash it on your own. Nevertheless, people sometimes follow American standards and add philadelphia cheese. There also are cheesecakes with thick balcan yoghurt instead of cheese. http://www.grouprecipes.com/98119/polish-cheesecake-sernik.html
