What is a common pastry that is found in Poland at practically every bakery? Can you describe it for me? I mentioned kolaczki to someone who is from Poland and they had never heard of it before. Is there something more commonly known?

You will find "p±czki" in every bakery. They are round donuts without a hole in the middle with prune, raspberry or other fruit filling inside.
"Makowiec" pastry filled with poppy-seed, usually elongated.
"Piaskowa babka" - very good, size of a loaf of bread.
"Szarlotka" - pastry made with apples
"Mazurek" - pastry with raisins, apples and other ingredients.
"Babka" - can be any flavor, usually round

It's just a regional name used in Wielkopolska region for "dro¿d¿ówka". My online translator tells me that an English equivalent would be "scone" or "bun". Lets wait for Krysia to verify this though.

I was able to find pictures in the search engine "google". I couldn't find pictures with the other name. Thanks.

While we're on the subject, what is a common candy and a common sweet drink in Poland?

Do you recognize the candy Ptasie Mleczko? Is that commonly known in Poland?

Yes, it is. I don't feel like sleeping right now.

PS: I don't think we are allowed to talk in private here. Met me in off-topic lounge. And take some wine with you.

My God, I haven't had those in forever. If anyone can bake some for me it would be very nice Too bad Erie, PA doesn't have a Polish bakery anywhere. We have a Russian candy shop with Polish chocolates, but no bakeries.
