I knew it would be tough to be a vegetarian in Poland, but considering my love for a variety of pickled foods, I went for it. I was right, most restaurants have little in the way of vegetarian options aside from pizza. In fact, I have been eating a lot of Italian food. However, I have recently found some great food! Maciek, my professor, recommended a great place that is almost all vegetarian and we went there for lunch on Monday. It has a cool coffee house atomosphere (my style) and tasty fresh sandwiches and salads. The next day was when I really found the perfect food for me. We went to a small restaurant with another instructor, Irina. Where I order polish soup. I love soup. It is a beet based, cold soup, with yogurt, cucumbers, green onions, and dill, topped with hard boiled egg. Yum. (and it's a really pretty magenta color) So, basically, this is what I'll be eating for the rest of the trip. This place also had other great options like vegetarian baked beans and crepes.

Magenta soup...you are much more adventurous than me! Good thing you like pickled food. Glad to see the pictures of George and your group. I check the blog everyday for your updates...what a great idea. Love, Suz
Polish soup??? I have never heard of such a thing. I guess my Polish grandparents didn't pass that recipe down. Can't wait to see the pictures and hear all about my homeland. -Jackie
P.S. If you run into a "Matuszewski" tell them I said Hi!
this magenta soup is called "chlodnik" ;)
What a coincidence!! That soup is the exact color of your room at home!! I bet that's why you like it. Reminds you of home. Send more food photos as you find new things you like. Karen
