It is Poland's most popular side dish. This has remained as Poland's favourite national food. With the accent on storage, sour cream, curd cheese and soured milk have become important constituents of the Polish kitchen. Fresh cream and milk would be left to ferment. These dairy products have become an essential element in the taste and flavour of Polish cooking.
Meat plays a significant importance in the Polish diet.
Perhaps the most famous Polish meat known is the kielbasa , the Polish sausage. Polish food has much to offer, and I for one enjoy its robustness. I spent my first Christmas in Canada with Peter's family. The festival is celebrated on the evening of 24 December. Known as Wigilia , it is the most important culinary event of the year.
