What is the characteristic of Polish cuisine? It is commonly believed that traditional Polish cuisine is very full, but heavy and fatty. In fact, properly prepared Polish dishes can be incredibly healthy, tasty, and light. However, if you want to clearly classify Polish food, you need to bear in mind that Polish cuisine is very diverse depending on a specific region Traditional Polish cuisine is a combination of local traditions with the influences of nationalities living in the former Republic of Poland Polish cuisine is characterized by the influences of German or Jewish, as well as Ukrainian or Tatar-Turkish cuisine. At the same time, Polish cuisine leaves a great deal of room for chefs, who, drawing on traditional recipes for Polish dishes, can improve them so that, without losing Polish flavors, adapt them to the tastes of modern society. Thus, Polish dishes are largely based on cereals, mushrooms and forest fruits. The undisputed hero - apart from flour dishes - are all kinds of silage.
