A FOOD
As a dressing PIEROGI are covered with fried onion. Also cream of all sort can be served.
2. SOUPS all sort of broth based liquid meal, always WARM!!!! Although you can find
gazpacho in Gdask if You really have to. Soup is obligatory for a selv respecting housewife.
Depending on the main vegetable soup can be called:
- ROS chicken broth, often called clear (CZYSTY)
meaning vegetables are removed after cooking, served
with nuddles, Anna loves it on the left.
- BARSZCZ CZERWONY (red borscht) is based on
beetroots, in
restaurants
usually served
clean of
vegetables(called
then
CZYSTY=clear),
often with small
PIEROGI (called
USZKA) inside of it, picture on the right ->
-
-
- UREK (sour rye soup) white heavy(rye flour is used) soup with lots of meat inside,
usually sausage, bacon or ham, all smoked) and also eggs on top. To me enough for a
dinner especially if you also eat a bread in which it is served instead of a bowl. Below on
the left
- GROCHWKA, soup based on pea, called military pea soup, very thick and stuffed with
smoked bacon, my favourite ! below on the right
And there are many more but not so attractive like those above.
4. PORK CHOPS most popular polish dinner, but traditionally german dish. Same version but
with turkey or chicken is usually labeled a child menu. Hard to avoid. Notice that side salad is
cabbage again !!! In child
menu the potatoes can be
replaced with french fries but
make sure those are not
frozen but fresh ones.
Potatoes will always be fresh.
5. GOLONKA W PIWIE (Pork leg
in beer), german dish again, I
do not think I have ever tried
to taste that but men seem
to love it without
exceptionsee picture below
on the left (notice the
cabbage around the leg).
10. RACUCHY Z JABLKAMI (RACUCHY with apples). That is a dessert. Apple slices are fried after
being wrapped in a dough of flour, egg, milk and sugar. See picture below:

C SHOPPING
This is a list of what I would have bought if I were going to Gdansk:
- Chocolate to drink by Wedel company. For sure can be bought in the chocolate drink bar
in BALTIC GALLERY at GDANSK WRZESZCZ district. By the way it is also the best shopping
center.
