Do as the Romans do...or at least try to: Perogies, Perogies, and More Perogies

My search for the ultimate comfort food has come to an end. I have found what I have spent my life looking for; Polish food. I have never eaten anything so filling and delicious as I did this past weekend in Krakow. Everything I ate from goulash, potato pancakes, to jelly-filled donuts was absolutely delicious. My mouth was never disappointed. When we arrived in Poland I hadn't the slightest clue what Polish cuisine entailed. I quickly learned it was cheap and amazing. After a long day of traveling and exploring on Friday, we stopped at a precious little Polish restaurant for dinner. Between the four of us (Christina, Bonnie, Sasha, and I) we ordered quite the schmorgasbord of food: meat and cabbage perogies, stroganoff, goulash, steak with horseradish, stuffed pork, and of course extra-large sized Polish beer. We ate like royalty for a ridiculously cheap price. It was the first time since I have been in Europe that I wasn't licking my plate trying to get the last scrap. As my mom says, I was satiated. Over the two days we were there we only consumed two meals and didn't need any more than that. We were always stuffed. The tastes were things I had never had before. I already miss the food and I just got back this morning.
