Polish food is great. If you have ever tasted Pierogi, Golabki,
Duck with Apples or, say, Roasted Trout, you'll most likely agree with that
right away. But there are many more dishes and Polish cuisine is really worth
exploring. It offers a rich choice of tastes and flavors, which makes any food
lover happy. PolishFood Online
Where does this enjoyable variety come from? First of tradition
and history. A few centuries ago Poland was one of the biggest countries in the
world - home to many different nationalities. Not only did they provide they
own culinary input, but Polish nobility were always eager to include novelties
from abroad into their cooking. In this way Polish food became a term
encompasssing a great deal of ideas, stemming from inside and outside the
country alike. And that's exactly why in Polish cuisine you'll find Ukrainian,
French, German, Italian, Jewish, Hungarian, Oriental and other influences.
Variety is a great thing, you might say, but is there anything
more specific that could be said about Polish food? It is usually claimed that
there's a lot of meat in Polish cooking and that it's dominated by dense,
"heavy" sauces. Poles are also said to have inclination for sweet
things. There is much truth in these opinions. It is also true that many of the
Polish traditional dishes are not particularly healthy. But that is no reason
to give up Polish food. First of all the "unhealthy" (but very tasty)
things may be safely enjoyed provided that you eat them in moderation. Probably
every cuisine has such items. And apart from that it is absolutely possible to find
enough of great Polish recipes for dishes which will satisfy your palate and be
good for your health at the same time. Fish, dumplings and various soups are
just some examples.
It is worth noticing that there's more than just tradition to Polish cuisine. Modern Polish cooks use modern trends and their original ideas. As a result even a modest herring may become an unexpectedly thrilling experience. So in order to really know what Polish food is like, you'll have to actually taste it. The best way of doing that is of course by coming to Poland. It is after all in its native land, where a cuisine can be best appreciated. Restaurants, regional food makers, people, places and, last but least, drink. But finding a reliable Polish food supplier or restaurant may also be a satisfiable solution. Just don't be tricked by cheap imitations :)
Polish cuisine of today still keeps developing. Just like any
great cuisine of a living nation. lthough some bad habits form that era still
linger on, freedom of creation along with good old recipes have made wonders.
