Feeling brave?
the real taste of Poland

ZHOO-rek

Sour rye soup with sausage and a boiled egg. Tangy, smoky, very Polish.

BARSHCH cher-VO-ni

Clear, deep-red beetroot soup. Sweet and sour. Served:

• czysty clear, in a cup
• z uszkami with tiny mushroom dumplings
• z krokietem with a fried croquette

HWOD-neek

Cold, bright-pink beetroot and kefir soup. Summer only.

FLA-kee

Tripe soup with marjoram. If you spot it, you've found the real deal.

BEE-gos

Hunter's stew of sauerkraut, cabbage and mixed meats, slow-cooked for hours. The real deal for connoisseurs: very distinctive, with a strong sour-smoky taste and smell. Not for everyone.

ka-SHAN-ka

Fried blood sausage with buckwheat, served with fried onion. A real deal for the adventurous: rich, earthy and very distinctive in taste and texture. Not for everyone.

KA-va zbo-ZHO-va

Caffeine-free grain coffee with milk. Pure childhood nostalgia for Poles.
