Make sure you try these tasty treats when visiting Poland
A classic Polish dish, pierogie dumplings are one dish you've got to try in their native land. The fillings can be savoury — with mashed potatos and cheese — or sweet, filled with strawberries and served with cream and sugar.
This comforting soup is made with sour rye flour — akin to sourdough — with potatos, kielbasa and boiled egg. It's often served in an edible bread bowl.
This 'hunter's stew' is made with cabbage — or sauerkraut — and meat, usually sausage, with mushrooms and other ingredients. It's best eaten with a serving of rye bread.
There are plenty of different sausages to try in Poland, but kielbasa is one of the most traditional — often served at Polish weddings.
This traditional Polish poppy seed cake is served at Christmas and Easter. It's not too sweet, but will melt in your mouth.
Make the most of a land that’s mystified for millennia.
