Ranj: Polish Bread is GOOOOOOD!!!!!! :) That it is. When is hot out the oven it tastes so good, can eat it just with butter.

Champ21: 'Polish Rye' from the local German bakery. It is so good I almost spritzed in my pantaloons. Unfortunately 90% of 'bread' sold here is factory-made stuff like 'Chleb' Baltonowski, barely edible.

I have heard that there are breads made in Poland from grains other than wheat and rye. Does anyone know of these, what they are called?

It is probably sacrilegious but Polish bread makes good toast.

no it isn't sacrilegious - one of my favourite dishes is a simple bread topped with hard cheese (though rather mild hard cheese, way milder than cheddar) fried on butter or margarine - add tomato concentrate on top - delicious - you may add tomato slices, onion slices or paprika slices under the cheese - fry covered (otherwise it will burn)

also Polish bread is very good for croutons that you add to soups (one soup that is particularly good with croutons is the pea soup (zupa grochowa)) - I make my croutons on a good cooking oil (in Poland there is something like 'virgin rapeseed oil' (however hillarious or disturbing it may sound) - 'olej rzepakowy z pierwszego tłoczenia' - apparently it has the best combination of unsaturated fatty acids you can find in nature - and a bit surprisingly it actually tastes really good - regular rapeseed oil doesn't taste as good - virgin rapeseed oil is also very good for salads - (while olive oil is good generally (I feel like having a sip or two from time to time) it does not combine well with Polish food or the recipes that I use (it has too strong flavour in my oppinion) and virgin rapeseed oil (like 'Olej Kujawski') wins all the way)

ergot requires a intermediary plant before it can infest rye and now the plant is mostly missing from the Polish landscape (it's called berberys in Polish IIRC)

OK - I was wrong - ergot has nothing to do with 'berberys' (barberry) - it's completely different fungus that does (stem rust)
