Poland Tradicional Dishes

Cucumber soup

Cucumber soup is a traditional Polish soup (sometimes simply ogórkowa). It is made from sour, salted cucumbers and potato. Occasionally rice is substituted for the potatoes. A similar soup is also common in Russia and Ukraine, where it is known asrassolnik.

The cucumber soup is a soup based on cucumbers, also known in various cuisines. The two major varieties are the fresh cucumber soup and pickled cucumber soup.

Kopytka

Kopytka, kapytki(literally "little hooves") are a kind of potato dumpling originating from Poland. They are very similar to gnocchi, although they are typically served baked with cheese, fried bacon or onion. The dish is a part of Polish, Belarusian and Lithuanian cuisines.

The typical ingredients are grated potatoes and flour, but may also include eggs, salt, and other seasoning.

The Polish dish is usually cooked in salted water, whereas in Belarusian and Lithuanian cuisines kapytki is baked first, then stewed or boiled in water.

Gingerbread 

Gingerbread is a sweet food-product flavored with ginger and typically using honey or molasses^[1] (treacle) rather than just sugar. Gingerbread foods vary, ranging from a soft, moist loaf cake to something close to a ginger biscuit. The different types likely share a common origin.
