WYBREDA W KRAKOWIE: POLSKO-ANGIELSKI SŁOWNIK JEDZENIA


Pierogi

Z myślą o moich zagranicznych czytelnikach, którzy śledzą mojego anglojęzycznego bloga Fussy in Kraków, postanowiłam stworzyć polsko-angielski słownik najważniejszych polskich potraw. Może Wam też się przyda, gdy będzie próbowali wytłumaczyć jakiemuś cudzoziemcowi zawiłości kuchni środkowoeuropejskiej. :)

Barszcz

Tradycyjne polskie potrawy	Traditional Polish dishes
bigos	a Polish national dish made of cabbage, sauerkraut, cuts of meat and sausages. My family eats bigos during Christmas time and we season it with forest mushrooms and a glass of red wine. It's strange but delicious!
gołąbki	cabbage rolls made of cabbage leaves stuffed with spiced minced meat and rice, sometimes served with tomato sauce.
gulasz	goulash, meat stew. It's the national dish of Hungary but Poles also love it and eat it a lot.
kasza	groats. The most popular is kasza gryczana (buckwheat groats) often served with gulasz or meatballs.
kaszanka	a traditional blood sausage made of kasza gryczana (buckwheat groats) among other things...
kisiel	a fruit dessert similar to jelly. Served warm or cold, sometimes with pieces of fruit or cream.
kotlet schabowy	pork cutlet coated with breadcrumbs. It's very similar to a Viennese schnitzel but we still believe it's one of our national dishes. ;)
pierogi	Polish dumplings. The fillings may range from meat, to sauerkraut, to fruits (especially blackberries) but I especially love pierogi ruskie (literally Russian pierogi) filled with boiled potatoes, cottage cheese and onion.
placki ziemniaczane	fried potato pancakes. They're usually garnished with gulasz (see above), mushroom sauce or sour cream. Probably my favourite Polish dish. :)
smalec	lard with crispy pieces of pork rinds. Bread with smalec and a pickled cucumber is often served as a starter.
zupa	soup. Polish people love soups of all kinds but the most popular ones are: pomidorowa (tomato soup), jarzynowa (vegetable soup), barszcz (beetroot soup), krupnik (barley soup), and żurek (sour rye soup).
żurek	sour rye soup. Traditionally, we eat it for Easter breakfast. Żurek is usually garnished with a piece of sausage, boiled egg or potatoes (or all of them at once).
