Quoting: RoseyinChicago
We always had cucumbers in sour cream, mashed potatoes (with the Golabki sauce over them) and polish rye bread (with seeds). My grandmother and mother made the Golabki sauce with a mixture to tomato soup and tomato juice. We are from Chicago, by way of Poland and I understand that this is more the way Russian/Polish made and served their Golabki.
hi,
thinly sliced cucumber with sour cream is called mizeria [meezerya] (dont ask me why coz i havent a clue) you season it with salt and crushed black pepper, add some sugar and fresh chopped dill - yum! its a great side for all dishes that include young/baby potatoes
you should also try it with fried egg and baby potatoes or pork chop in breadcrumbs and baby potatoes
(again it is necessary not to undercook potatoes, Im a polish girl living in Ireland, and everytime somebody else cooks spuds they come out hard and even raw inside, not mentioning there was no salt added to the boiling water, which makes the spuds inedible)
fresh dill and parsley are national herbs in Poland :)
