Polish culinary traditions date back hundreds of years. Poland, a land blessed with rich fields, has always been one of the region's main growers of potatoes, cabbage and beets. It is no wonder that these ingredients are a big part of its culinary heritage. Cabbage soup, stuffed cabbage, cabbage stew, sweet cabbage, potato dumplings, potato pancakes, potato and cheese pierogi or ravioli and a number of beet soups have always held a prominent spot on the Polish menu.
Poles immigrating to the United States have brought these culinary traditions with them to the new land and have passed them on from generation to generation. Not surprisingly most people are familiar with such favorites as the cabbage stew, pierogis, a Polish versions of ravioli, and kielbasa or smoked sausage. Whether these dishes bring back memories from grandma's kitchen or you are a novice when it comes to Polish cuisine, Café Polonia's rich menu is sure to please all.
