I grew up with a Polish granddad, and as such have always had traditional Polish food around. I very rarely see any restaurants selling Eastern European food, maybe it's not popular because a lot of the food is very hearty and often uses cheaper cuts of meat, a lot of it is "peasant food".
But I was in Spain this week and there was a Polish restaurant, so me and my OH went. He remarked how much he enjoyed the meal and that it was a shame that we didn't see more of it around.
I had Golabki, which is seasoned pork mince, mixed with rice, and wrapped in a cabbage leaf, served with a mild tomato sauce, mashed potatoes and veg.
My OH had Golonka which I must admit I would've struggled to eat, it's a roasted pig's knuckle - too fatty for me but he really enjoyed it.
Another of my favourites is Bigos, which is essentially sauerkraut, bits of old salami, and any bits of leftover meat you can find lying around, but it's actually really tasty.
Any other fans of Eastern European cuisine? If so, what's your favourite?
