I have a fond of the Slavic countries. in those countries, Poland reigns at number 1. I think it’s probably because Poland and Vietnam have a lot of similarities, which over time gradually I realized during my process of soaking up about polish culture. When reading about Poland through books, I see the image of my country hidden in the image of Poland. to get up close to a culture that we love, as you know the best way is to travel to that country directly. but I haven’t had a chance to go to Poland, I have to find another way to continue close to that culture. I read books of Polish literature. For a long time, I have longed to enjoy Polish cuisine. Not long ago, I discovered by chance that near where I live there is a restaurant serving Slavic cuisine called The Slavic Tea House. because I love Poland the most, I thought I would try Polish food first. Yesterday after coming home from watching sports, a friend and I planned to go to a cafe, then order lunch online and have it delivered there.
I messaged their page. I ordered Pierogi. they asked me which filling to choose. Since I love potatoes and mushrooms, I chose that filling. When I received the food, in addition to a cup containing Pierogi, I also saw a smaller cup attached. when my nose took in its scent, I thought it was cheese, but I was wrong, it was actually sour cream to dip Pierogi in. In my country’s cuisine, we don’t have such a sauce. Because I was so impatient and couldn’t wait, I immediately opened it and enjoyed it. Pierogi was great. It’s a blend of the sourness of sour cream, the softness of bread, the richness of potatoes and the sweetness of chopped mushrooms. next time, it will be the turn of the barszcz . soup
