Today you will learn about the foods of Poland. Since I am going to tell you about the foods of Poland, would you like to hear a little bit about Poland? Poland is in Eastern Europe. The language of Poland is Polish. Poland is where World War II started when Germany attacked Poland in 1939. In World War II the Soviets and the Germans attacked Poland at the same time and split it in half. Poland became an independent country in 1989 and joined the European Union in 2004. The Polish flag is white and red. Poland’s currency is the zloty.
We got to try some of the foods of Poland. Here are the foods I got to try.
Bigos
It is a stew made of sauerkraut, meat, and tomato sauce. It was okay, but not very filling. I don’t really like stews with stuff in them.
Golabki
It is vegetables stuffed in cabbage leaves. Traditionally it has a red sauce over it. I hated it because I do not like cabbage.
Zapiekanki
It is a pizza like thing with a whole bunch of stuff on it. I had 2 different kinds of zapiekankis. The first had mushrooms, cheese, pickles and ketchup. I did not like it. The second one had vegetables, cheese, sausages, and garlic sauce. I liked that one A LOT better. It was yummy because I like pizza.
Kielbasa
It is a Polish sausage. Poland is famous for its’ sausages. It is really good.
Nalesniki
Nalesniki is like a crepe but has filling in the middle. The middle was filled with cheese and on top it had homemade raspberry sauce. It was okay, but I like pancakes better.
Pierogi
It is a dumpling with stuff in it. It can have strawberries, berries, meat, potatoes, and more. I tried 3 different kinds of pierogi. I had strawberries pierogis, meat pierogis, and potatoes pierogis. I loved it because you can have pretty much anything in there.
Obwarzanki
It is like a big pretzel with poppy or sesame seeds. I loved it.
Lody
It is ice cream. I had the swirly ice cream with chocolate and vanilla. My favorite food in Poland was the lody, because I like ice cream.
