"Appetizers and Canapes"


Appetizers hold a very important place in Polish cuisine. The Poles are very hospitable people and they look on a meal as more than a form of nourishment. A meal is an occasion, a time for entertaining, a time for conversation and laughter. It is no wonder, the, that appetizers are important. If you want a typical Polish taste and appearance, try Beet Relish for flavor and Flybanes as a platter decoration.

"Soups and Stews"


Soup is the basic to the Polish meal; it is to the Poles what rice is to the Oriental and pasta to the Italian. Cold Cucumber-Beet Soup is a specialty in summer. Duck soup in the winter; Borscht is common all year round. You should also try the Nothing Soup - at least as a conversation piece. Bigos is the Polish national dish. You will have to go a long way to find a heartier, more fragrant stew.

Liver Mounds are a special taste treat and, of course, you MUST have dark rye bread as an accompaniment to any Polish meal.

"Vegetables, Salads, Sauces and Dressings"


An Italian queen is credited with adding vegetables to Polish cuisine, but the Poles have long since given them a magic refinement. Cucumbers in Sour Cream are refreshing, Mushroom Cutlets buttery rich, and the sauerkraut dishes unlike any other you have tasted. The Rose Salad makes a stunning buffet decoration. Cold Horseradish Sauce is a natural with cold meat, as is the tartar sauce with fish.

"Desserts"


Poles take special pride in their desserts. Their pastries, in particular, can rival those of any other cuisine in the world. Mazurkas are a special treat. Try the several variations of this cookielike pastry. You will certainly be congratulated for your chocolate or walnut tortes and possibly even more so for the Country Cheese Cake. For special occasions the Baba (grandmother) cake is a must!
