A feast on a plate

What would a holiday in Morawskie-Toplice be without tasting the local cuisine, which is one of the most diverse in this part of the continent? As in Poland, it is based on cereal, meat and dairy products, although there is no shortage of vegetables, fish and legumes. One of the most frequently eaten dishes is polenta, which is made from corn flour, salt and water, and similar rot from corn flour, buckwheat, and salt, often served with yoghurt, cracklings or honey. Similar to ravioli dumplings - zlikrofi, will appeal to lovers of Italian flavors. They are filled with potatoes, onions, bacon and spices. They are served with lamb or mutton sauce. Potato jota with beans and sauerkraut is popular among soups. Especially during holidays, potica, a yeast roulade with a nut filling, lands on the tables. You should also try pršut, which is a type of smoked ham similar to prosciutto. Food in Slovenia is not light, but thanks to the access to the thermal complex and many physical activities, you will be able to easily burn extra kilos. End an intense day with a tasting of local wines from teran, lebula or cviček varieties.

I like closer and longer journeys - with an analog camera and a great appetite, because I always like to get to know the local cuisine during the trip. My favorite region in Europe is the Balkans, especially Montenegro, Albania and Bosnia with Herzegovina, which I have visited several times. I dream of returning to beautiful and unpredictable Iceland. I am currently in Southeast Asia.
