  • Szaszłyk

    In Polish, szaszłyk (SHASH-wick) is the name for that skewered creation known as "shish kabob." See photos of szaszłyk here and here!

    Szaszłyk has ancient roots in the Balkans, Turkey, and Persia.  At once both simple and complex, it is a favorite in Poland - particularly in the warmer months!  A creative cook ("kucharz") will combine different types of marinated meat ("mięso") and vegetables ("warzywa") on a single skewer.  One thing remains the same: cooking over an open fire ("ogień").  Be sure to set the table with plenty of salads ("sałatki") as well as condiments such as mustard ("musztarda"), ketchup ("keczup") and horseradish ("chrzan").

  • Wiosna

    In Polish, wiosna (vee-OS-nah) means springtime or Spring. As with every place that is visited by winter ("zima"), Poland is ready to welcome the shift in weather ("pogoda"). This change in seasons ("pory") also brings a change in foods as vegetables ("warzywa") and fruit ("owoce") become more numerous, more diverse and freshly-picked.

    And don't forget the outdoor barbecue: Poles are famous for their grilled kielbasa ("kiełbasa z grilla") as well as the family or neighborhood picnic ("piknik").
