Your photos are awesome as always 🙂 The food looks tasty, but still, $45, as you say, pierogi and kluski ślaskie can be made very cheaply with no special ingredients needed :/ Poland is not Timbuktu or Antarctica, there is plenty of common ground with American cooking. Bread and potatoes are the main Polish starches, we have plenty of similar veg and fruit, and all the dumplings are made from normal all purpose flour, or potato, or with white cottage cheese (like pierogi leniwe). But that is how business goes, if there are not that many customers, but the few ones are very desperate, and there is no concurrence, they will raise the prices even above what would be appropriate. Money turns the world upside down, or something like that :o)

And I like your Happy Monday photo (:

Wikipedia has ALMOST anything you ask for 😉
and I totally understand the whole pierogi making thing. It’s terrible. We’ve got to go there together some day. The next time I’ll take some Tripe Soup. I know my husband will hate to be near me for the next few days after that 🙂

I’m glad that the food was good. As for prices – I remember mentioning to my friend that barszcz is a cheap food. Well, in Poland it is. Here, maybe not so much since beets aren’t popular.
And making pierogi is so tiresome… If I could I’d charge a lot for them 😉

dzięki za koment. no i faktycznie nie ma to jak pojechać do Polski co by się najeść dobrze 🙂

oh… my dad loves it. he thinks it’s one of the best dishes in the world. I use to eat it as well… There was a time that I had been thinking it’s an aweful think to eat when I was a teenager. Right now I wouldn’t mind to try it again.
