The Traditional Tastes of Poland

More and more these days, holidaymakers deciding on travel plans are counting the local cuisines of possible destinations into their equations. And with so many places to choose from for a trip away, a detail as deceptively small as the food can often swing the vote in favour of one particular location.

Food is a definite winner for Poland. As if the country didn’t have enough going for it – like a rich history, beautiful towns and cities, quaint villages with old-fashioned transport systems and a social life rivalled by none, Polish cuisine is unforgettably delicious and one that you will find yourself looking up recipes for as soon as you arrive back home from your holiday.

Heavy on only the most filling ingredients, Polish cuisine features plenty of chicken and pork, as well as the stodgier vegetables, like carrots, parsnips, turnips and potatoes. Meals taken in restaurants and casual eateries in this exciting country are hearty and guaranteed to make even the most enthusiastic foodie full, so you won’t be disappointed. Stacked with breads, pastries and other delicious home baking, Polish food is certainly satisfying and you won’t need to go far to find it – cities like Krakow and even smaller places are awash with street vendors selling mouth-watering pastries and servings of fries are very common so you’ll never go hungry.

There are a few dishes that have become national symbols of Poland that really ought to be sampled. Borscht, for example, is a tasty soup with beetroot as its main ingredient, prepared different depending on whether you are having it hot or cold. Follow this up with one of Poland’s most famous dishes: dumplings. Polish dumplings, or pierogi, are served in a variety of forms – from sweet to spicy to salty. Traditionally, the dumplings are filled with meat, mushrooms and vegetables, though you can even have them stuffed the fruit as a dessert. Pierogi are usually served with sugar and melted butter and a delicious insight to some of Poland’s festival dishes.

Pizza in Poland comes with a twist as ketchup is used on the dough instead of tomato sauce – try it to discover your preference for yourself. And, of course, don’t forget to wash everything down with some of Poland’s fantastic lagers. Popular and inexpensive, Poland’s own drinks are second to none and certainly worth sampling – so make sure you try one or two when you’re exploring this incredible country’s cuisine and convince friends to make the most of cheap calls to Poland so you can tell them all about it. Na zdrowie!

There are many products out there that promise to whiten your teeth, but they often cost a pretty penny. While asking my friends and family for advice on what worked for them, I came up with my own home teeth whitening recipe. I wanted to share the concoctions I have made right in my kitchen that have given me the best results.

The first whitening recipe that I ever discovered was after I ate a handful of strawberries. I noticed once I looked in the mirror that my teeth looked whiter than before so I got to thinking and toying around with my fruit. I first took the same amount of strawberries I had eaten, which was five, and blended them in my blender.

I then took my strawberry concoction and used it to brush my teeth. I thoroughly brushed my teeth right after and made sure to floss right after just in case there were any strawberry seeds stuck in between my teeth and my gums.

I also didn’t want to have the sugar from the strawberry eat away at my teeth and give me a cavity. I was trying to whiten my teeth and I didn’t want to create any other sorts of problems and I’m sure you don’t want to either.

The next recipe I used that was successful and right from my own home only has one ingredient, which is baking soda. I take a teaspoon of baking soda and spread it all over my teeth. I then brush my teeth as if I am polishing some old silverware. It works really well, but it can taste quite bland.

For those who are looking for flavor, I suggest dropping in a few drops of mouthwash to give it a mint taste. Another alternative to baking soda is using some hydrogen peroxide from your medicine cabinet. It is just as effective and not as messy as the baking soda.

I use about a half of a cup of hydrogen peroxide and swish it in my mouth for up two 30 seconds twice a week to maintain my smile. Just make sure that you do not swallow the peroxide or the baking soda! The most effective way is to brush with the baking soda and then use the hydrogen peroxide mouthwash right after.

I hope that my home teeth whitening recipe also works for you. I know that stubborn stains can be embarrassing and make people feel uncomfortable when they smile. I am always searching for new recipes so I can pass on affordable ways to whiten smiles and make people feel better about themselves.

The best CABBAGE ROLL recipe?

My baba made the best cabbage rolls. (I know every one thinks that too!)
Sadly, she recently (tear!) passed away (extra detail… on my birthday no less). Without giving away her recipe. She was Polish so maybe that would affect the outcome of her delicious meat packed leaves of cabbage? I would LOVE to hear some family recipes… if you’d be kind enough to share with me. I promise I won’t tell anyone your secrets (lol..not possible on here).
I have tried looking on web-sites… but there are just TOO MANY to choose from! It would probably take me days even weeks to decide!
Please help me in my quest for the perfect roll.
luv, shugarplum
Please help! I was planning on making them this Sunday, so I need to be prepared Thanks so much!
I knew I shouldn’t have put this under ethnic cuisine !

1 pound lean ground beef
1 pound ground sausage
1 onion, finely chopped
3/4 cup uncooked white rice
1 cup water
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
1 large head cabbage
1 (32 ounce) jar sauerkraut

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, sausage, chopped onion, rice, water, and salt and pepper.
Bring a large pot of water a boil. Separate 12 to 15 large cabbage leaves from the head, and place in boiling water. Boil until soft, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from water, and set aside.
Into the center of each leaf, place a small amount of the meat mixture. Fold in the sides, and roll up from the bottom. Secure with a toothpick.
Place a layer of sauerkraut in the bottom of a large pot. Arrange cabbage rolls in a single layer over the sauerkraut. Cover with remaining sauerkraut. Pour in enough water to cover the rolls. Bring to a boil, lower heat, and simmer for 90 minutes.
