Traditional Polish cuisine flows from the melting pot of diverse influences as befits country at the world crossroads, inhabited by traveled and novelty-happy entrepreneurs, merchants, soldiers and worldly gentry. In the metropolitan Krakow considerable contingents of immigrant Germans, Italians, Jews, Hungarians, Scotsmen, Czechs, Austrians, etc. also left their mark on the city’s menu over ages.
- Pierogi (dumplings) – A sort of pasta shell stuffed with meat, spices and vegetables.
- Kotlet schabowy – A tenderised pork shnitzel dipped in egg and flour and coated in breadcrumbs. Served with – you guessed it – dill and scoops of creamy mashed potato.
- Barszcz – Beetroot soup thickened with sour cream and served with hunks of bread
- Kielbasa – Honky sausages served with fried onions and……DILL!
- Placki ziemniaczane – Potato pancakes served with a rich beef goulash
