Visited an Agritourist farm in Poland and learnt about the Polish traditions of vegetable pickling and river fish smoking! It was a Super cool experience as we tried our hands at tying trout, and getting them ready for the smokehouse. We also learnt about the pickling of cabbage and cucumbers, which is an extremely tedious process that is largely completed by hand, or feet (as they believe that vegetables trampled on by a young lady with long legs taste better). We rounded off the evening with a local Masurian dinner which comprised the trout that we smoked for about an hour, pickles, clear chicken soup and organic fruits. What an eye-opening and food-filling evening! Will strongly recommend that you plan a trip here (Aktywna Agroturystyka) #polandtastesgood #poland #omgwhereskim

We went to popular Mokotowska 69 restaurant in Warsaw for our first dinner in Poland. For my main course, I chose Masurian Catfish as I was keen to try a local fish. This catfish came from Poland's northwest Masuria Lake District which boasts over 2,000 lakes. 🐟 The large, thick slab of grilled catfish was set on a creamy white mound of mildly spicy horseradish risotto. The fish meat browned outside was white, flaky, tender and moist inside. It tasted savoury (from seasoning) with slight earthiness and underlying sweetness. The sweet risotto grains were tender with subtle nuttiness (softer than Italian style) and the rice mound was held together by the creamy zesty horseradish sauce. 🍎 A couple of sweet crunchy balls carved from Polish Paradise apple complete the dish. 🇵🇱🍴 It was a great start to my first Polish culinary adventure. #polandtastesgood 😋 #polandfood
