Carp was one of the dishes and it was surprisingly good. I’ve had it before and it was shit. They were telling me that in the old days they would catch a carp and stick it in the bath for a few days to clear out the mud flavour. In fairness all the traditional food was crazy good, especially the pickled fish and eggs. Flaki was another dish that was really tasty. All washed down with bottles of vodka Gonna go back to Warsaw to have a proper visit in summer. I didn't like any of the polish food I tried, all processed pork and pickled veg Fernely whittenstall did a grass carp once 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Didn’t dislike anything if I’m honest. Flaki was by far my favorite. That and the home made alcohol. He packed me off to the airport with a load of meats, pickles homemade fresh horseradish and 3 bottles of home made liquor, one of which I drank on the plane (pigwa - quince, aroniówka - chokeberry & czarna - I think fig). The homemade vodka was easily the best I have ever tasted. Edited January 28, 2023 by mushroom 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
