Polish Dinner for 10

An unbelievable Polish dinner for ten by Dorota Michalewska-Kilstrom, with the assistance of her husband, Kevin (he has no Polish blood, but a Polish heart and significant training and experience in Polish eating and drinking habits).  This traditional Polish celebration with all the trimmings includes:

•Welcome with Polish vodka (ice-cold as God intended) (you are allowed to leave and re-enter as often as you wish to be welcomed multiple times)!

•Appetizers:  Multiple types of Polish cheeses and meats, including sausages (kabanos and kielbasa), Polish vodka, Polish beer, and (Non-Polish) wine*

•Course 1:  Polish Beetroot Soup – Czerwony Barszcz

•Course 2:  Polish Vegetable Salad – Salata Jarzynowa

•Course 3:  Polish Hunter’s Stew – Bigos (more Polish drinks)

•Course 4:  Stuffed Polish Dumplings – Pierogi (more Polish drinks)

•Dessert:  Polish Dessert/Pastry – Sernik (cheesecake), Makowiec (poppy-seed cake), or Szarlotka (apple crisp)

•Espresso or Coffee (in the Polish style if you are up for it), Polish honey liqueur:  Krupnik

Most importantly, this is a chance to enjoy an evening with new or old friends and even learn a few words of Polish if you wish – Kevin will teach the inappropriate ones.  Date to be arranged, but probably not July or August as Dorota is likely to be off to Poland. 

*Unfortunately, there are no good Polish wines, so we will substitute appropriate wine from another fine country.
