one thing that i love that brings back memories of Poland, heh, is a tomato salad that actually might not even be "polish" but that's what it makes me think of
chopped up tomatoes, cucumbers, and onion, with a little sour cream, salt and pepper
SO GOOD!!
also if you have any kind of POlish store anywhere, get polish bread, polish cheese, and polish ham
little open sandwiches are the polish STAPLE
bread, butter, cheese, ham, and a tomato slice, with salt and pepper, and tea, something like english breakfast tea, not regular lipton
it will bring back memories of childhood for her
The tomato salad you speak of, is that kind of like a gazpacho, but not at pureed? I could do that. I'll have to do a little research to see if there's a polish store anywhere nearby. Thanks!
yeah it's just chopped tomatoes, i don't know what gazpacho is...
lots of onion, salt and pepper
and then the sour cream medley that's left on your plate when all the veggies are gone, is best sopped up with a piece of polish rye bread
haha :)
i just looked it up - it's not pureed at all, it's basically just chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, onion and sour cream
it's sooo good i have it all the time now that i have my own toms and cukes
Gazpacho is basically red onion, tomato, cucumber and spices pureed and served cold, so I think it's the same flavors as the salad, but obviously not the same dish.
From google, it doesn't seem like there's any polish delis near me, but I'll keep looking. Thanks for your help!
no problem!
and i wish i knew what kind of bread, ham and cheese they were or how to describe them other than "polish"
there is just nothing else like them in regular stores, heh
