Polish Food

Yummy "Golonka"

I had high hopes for polish food and for the most part it was a major let down, and some what my fault. The only Polish food i had tasted prior to actually being there was a home cooked meal a friends mom made for me from a here polish mothers secret recipe, it was delicious, amazing even, i loved everything i tried, so when i had the opportunity to go to Poland i was looking forward to resurfacing these flavors my palette had yearned for for so long. The best traditional polish food i had was "Golonka" Which is a Pigs Thigh, very juicy and delicious. The perogis were okay, but i eventually overdosed on them when a friend and i ordered a 30 piece platter of meat perogis that were terrible, my friend ate 3, i ate 27 of them, i guess i felt obligated to finish them. The next two days i was misserable and literally only had two meals. The last thing i wanted to do was eat. Also for some reason, i had developed a craving for a smoothie, i learned that they are not easy to come by in Poland. The ongoing joke of me trying to find a smoothie was rather funny, especially when we went to a bar that had strongly recommendation trying their smoothies. I ordered it and the waitress came back 10 minutes later to let me know that they can't make it, i asked why? was it because they were out of the ingredients? No, she said the person that knows how to make them had gone home. This was way to funny, it is so simple, yet they don't seem to understand the concept. The funniest part is that it is on the first page of the menu as a strongly recommended drink, and we ordered before 10 pm, but it still couldn't be done. I look forward to making some killer smoothies in my parents new kitchen. I miss you Vita-Mix.

Joke:

How many Polish people does it take to make a Smoothie?

Zero, they don't know how. The guy who makes the Smoothies is American and he went home for the night.
