Each country has its own national dishes and specialties that you must try if you decide to visit it. Polish cuisine has developed tremendously over the centuries due to historical circumstances. The national Polish cuisine shares some similarities with Central and Eastern European traditions such as Italian and French cuisine.
Although the traditional cookbooks of this nation are dominated by meat dishes, there are many recipes that are prepared with dough. This is due to the fact that in the Middle Ages Polish cuisine was based on dishes made from agricultural products (millet, rye, wheat), fruits, herbs and local spices. It was known mainly for the abundant use of salt and the constant presence of bulgur.
Some of the typical Polish dishes made from dough are already so popular that they have become fast food and can be tried literally at every turn.
Poland is famous for the so-called Varenki. They are stuffed with meat, cabbage with mushrooms, as well as cottage cheese and fruit filling. Dumplings are especially popular, which in Poland are called Russian (stuffed with cottage cheese, potatoes and fried onions).
Of the pasta dishes, pancakes, stuffed pizzas and pies are a great success. In fact, the difference between varenki, pizzas and pierogi is extremely small, and for some tourists even insignificant. Of course, any Pole would be happy to explain to you what distinguishes the three pasta delicacies. The dumplings are the Polish equivalent of Russian dumplings, while the pizzas are steamed with potato flour dumplings.
The most popular dish in Poland is undoubtedly the so-called Pierogi, which are prepared by boiling in salted water. The recipe for the dough is water, flour and eggs, but the subtlety is in kneading it. It should become soft.
Then roll out, cut into circles and put salty or sweet filling in the middle of each. Fold each pie in half and stick together, then put in boiling salted water and remove with a slotted spoon. If desired, the pasta can be drizzled with fried fat.
