Food
Like their central and eastern European neighbours, Poles are insatiable meat eaters: throughout the austerities of the past decade, meat consumption here remained among the highest in Europe. Beef and pork in different guises are the mainstays of most meals, while hams and sausages are consumed at all times of the day, as snacks and sandwich-fillers. Game is also common, and lamb is a speciality in the mountain regions where sheep-rearing is practised. In the coastal and mountain regions, you can also expect fish - particularly carp and freshwater trout - to feature prominently on the menus, with lots of seafood in the Baltic region. A meal without meat is a contradiction in terms for most Poles, and vegetarians will often be forced to find solace in customary stand-bys like omelettes, cheese-based dishes and salads. Thankfully there are now a few vegetarian restaurants starting to appear in the larger cities, while an ever-increasing number of mainstream restaurants offer vegetarian dishes ( potrawy jarskie ), albeit largely unimaginative ones. The word wegetarianski is useful, as are the phrases bez miesa (without meat) and bez ryby (without fish). The site has details of vegetarian restaurants throughout the country, although it's currently in Polish only.
