Après ski Poland
Hospitality is of great importance in Poland. Guests can be happy about always being welcome, whether they are expected or not. A central point is the good food, as you never have to go home being hungry. Christian holidays, like Easter, Christmas, name days and weddings are celebrated to the fullest, everything that the kitchen offers is served. The Polish cuisine and its dishes are shaped by various influences. German , Russian, Ukrainian, Turkish and Jewish notes can be found in the varied food. The Polish cuisine can be described as very savoury and solid.The Polish agriculture and everything that the farmers grow, shape typical and traditional Polish food. That's why you can find many dishes that are made of potatoes, sauerkraut, beetroot, cucumbers, eggs, cabbage turnip and mushrooms. But most of all, Polish locals like to eat sausages that are made out of meat. The Kielbasa (smoked spicy sausage) is the best example. Just a few years ago the usage of meat per head was the highest in Poland, so it is no wonder that a lot of meat and sometimes a glass of Vodka is necessary to make the Polish meal complete.
