ravi jaya: Thirty years back I tasted rolled baked pork wrapped by some leaves, prepared by the mother of my room mate at the University. It was really tasty and I am yet to taste that type of baked meat. Are you in a position to give the recipe Gołabki Heres a recipe. its a great dish if made correctly.

Wroclaw Boy: its a great dish if made correctly The wife made some last night with kasza? and no tomato sauce. Went well with the gravy. She said it was mostly a southern recipe, her mother would *never* make it that way....

Sour cream for potato pancakes is tastier, when thinned out a bit with buttermilk :) A sincere thanks PF, for putting up with me FIVE terrific years, muah!

Hi! I'm looking for a recipe for a Polish cheesecake that has chocolate cake mixed in. It looks marbled. I found a photo of it on the web but that's as close as it comes. They make it at our local Polish Market but only once a year. Would you happen to have a recipe for this??? ~Thanks for your time~

I'm trying to find a recipe for Polish coleslaw....we had it in Wroclaw on holiday. It was delicious! I think it had shredded cabbage, onion, carrot and celery seeds in it but it had a kind of vinegarette dressing with just a hint of mayo. Please help. I'm addicted to it! Thanks.

the thing is there may be countless variations of these recipe with differing dressings and ingredients - the other things is it's nothing traditional - why don't you just experiment with the ingredients - one recipe I have found goes like this: a quarter of a white cabbage, 2 apples, 1 onion, 1 carrot, some green parsley, mayo, sugar, salt, pepper - I'm pretty sure the ingredients were a bit different with the salad you had (including the dressing) - there may have been some vinegar in the dressing - I don't actually know what you mean by celery seeds - I have never heard of celery seeds as a herb/seasoning - were the seeds dry or green? - I guess dill must have been part of the dressing (it gives a nice aroma)

There's an Irish county that has a similar vibe: Hi - Coleslaw Wicklow, pleased to meet you.

I have tried several variations of the Polish coleslaw recipes and experimented with the ingredients to try and find that particular flavour but with no luck. Most list celery seeds, which I had at first thought were mustard seeds and some even list shredded fennel or fennel seeds. I have tried them all and my grocery bill is escalating at an alarming rate lol. I have even driven to different towns to search all local Polish deli's in the hope of finding it :)

you may be more lucky with French and Italian delis - celery seeds are not a traditional Polish ingredient, I have actually never seen them in shop - just read about them and maybe the coleslaw you had made use of them because there seems to be some trade in them in Poland

You can buy Marwit's coleslaw in Żabka and it's also available in Tesco stores.

Yes, it is a brand with a slightly varied product line.

I heard Polish people call it Kolesław :) My point exactly, lol. Polish shops near me never seem to have this soup; fortunately, there are plenty of shops locally which do :)

Maybe check out a Jewish Deli or something because the brand has a Hebrew sound to it and the name is using non-Polish names.

Manischewitz food products are sold in the Kosher section of local Stater Bros. Markets. Their potato pancake packages sure save time in the kitchen. Also beats having to peel those starchy potatoes.

A sincere thanks PF, for putting up with me FIVE terrific years, muah!

I think polish coleslaw has more sugar, and more vinegar. Sometimes grated apple. Everybody has their own recipe, tho.
Szczaw, or soup from it, like in the jar in the picture, it's hard to believe somebody would package! I've heard that during the occupation, when you had nothing left to eat, you'd make a soup from it, which was a common weed in the yard. And I don't think that acid is good for you.

It's not a coleslaw thread though, lol.

but it doesn't seem to be very Polish as a brand or as a name.

It's the Jewish version of a Polish soup, zupa szczawiowa.

I live within a few minutes walk of half a dozen Polish businesses, and twice as many Jewish stores. For some reason, certain Polish foods aren't that easily available in the Polish shops (I'm sure that some of them are just a front for some "other" kind of business hehe, since when did Poles just live on packet soups and cakes anyway? lol) so I get the rest of my "Polish" food from the Jewish stores. It's not as good as my mum used to make, but it will do; it's not something I eat every week anyway.

I make most of my own food, but a few Polish dishes aren't worth the effort, as the ready-made or packet version can be as good, and sometimes just as cheap. This is one of them ;)

Indeed. I use a packet version for my placki/latkes; as you say, it's less work. The best brands also have a flavour which is very close to the real thing. I would never buy "instant" English food, but for some reason, Polish/Jewish packet foods have really nice flavours. Telma Krupnik is better than my mum's! lol

louicky: beef rolled around sliced pickles and.....??? a piece of onion and a strip of good Polish sausage - served with their own dark sauce (I get thickened a bit) - they are cooked in a covered pot in an oven but don;t ask me how should they be kept there and what temperature (my guess is 200 degrees for more than half an hour)

no shrimp - once fresh water crayfish were common as rivers and lakes were very clean and before invasive crayfish were somehow introduced (which are not that good and don't grow as big)

no calmars and octopi in Baltic, some mussels perahps but they have never been popular

the popular Baltic fish are herring, cod, plaice, sprats

I can't imagine any powdered mix (pancakes, soups, wheatevr) holding a candle to the real thing. In Polish there is a saying about placki kartoflane: Jak nie tatre to g*wno warte!
