We had a few traditional dishes in Poland, but the options are not as many as in Spain. And a lot of stuff has meat (which I won’t eat) or cabbage (which Grady won’t eat)! But we are definitely trying out a few things when we get the chance! Most of the traditional Polish foods are extremely high carb comfort foods… I sincerely hope someone out there is following along and empathizes with how fat I am getting for the sake of this stupid blog!

The pierogies here are delicious! We learned an important lesson the first time we ordered them! We stopped into a little local restaurant for a quick "snack"... we ordered 4 pierogies (2 for each of us). It turns out that an order is not 1, it is a whole plate full! Our "snack" was 32 pierogies!!!

Goldwasser - a type of herbal liqueur invented in Gdańsk in 1598 that is known for its 22-carat gold flakes suspended in the liquid. Not to be confused with Goldschlager which also has gold flakes, but a completely different flavor (and made in Switzerland much later than Goldwasser)
