WHAT, SULLY OFF THE GROG ?

After month travelling, Damian is officially off the grog, with a stomach bug… (that means I’m only down to few beers a day , as part of my moral support) ….. Not sure what it came from, as we have been eating much the same foods, often sharing plates, to try the Polish cuisine.
I have to give him credit…. He is usually very set in his eating habits (doesn’t eat pork, which is somewhat of a problem, as Polaks love their pork dishes), and has been surprisingly adventurous in trying new things….. I feel partially responsible (for his gastro), making him try all the dishes ….after all, its part of the trip ….and I figure what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger!!!

So far on list of things consumed:

• Soups, soups, and more soups (I try one at least daily, figure it a great way to try flavors from every region, Damian swore it was not a meal, and will never to try … he did, and actually enjoyed)
• Various Herring dishes (all over this trip)
• Steak Tartar (in Warszawa, voted by us as best dish of the trip)
• Smoked Pigs ears (Latvia)
• Bigos (cabbage with bacon)
• Polish potatoe pancakes (breakfast)
• Pierogi with sweet cheese, and with blackberries
• Zapiekanka (bruchetta like toasted bread take-away kiosk)
  

Things on list to go:

• Golonka (Pigs foot in beer sauce)
• Czernina (Ducks blood soup)
• Pork Ribs (must have on trip to this part of world)
