  • Description

    Since the very beginning – the era of the Piast dynasty – the Poles enjoyed good food. Our dishes – both traditional and modern ones – are appreciated abroad and they frequently become culinary titbits. However, due to constant hurry and fast food restaurant chains, our eating habits are getting worse.

     

    The variety of tastes and scents, unique recipes based on tradition and high quality products accompany those who decide to follow the Trail of European Network of Culinary Heritage. On the trail we can try regional dishes. Raków serves Dzionie – a dish which according to tradition was “stolen” from the Jewish pots by the inhabitants of Raków.
    A gut stuffed with meat and matzah soaked in broth looks like liver sausage but it tastes much better! The secret of the unique taste of  Dzionie lies in its preparation resembling a mysterious ritual. Parzybroda (beard burner) may have a scary name, but it was used to be cooked in every home in Dalszyce and Raków region and now is one of the most recognizable dishes of the region. Boiled potatoes served with kraut and scratchings with a bit of grease are also delicious. A spicy pickle is perfect appetizer to every old-Polish dish.
    Delightful tastes of regional cuisine are not the only attraction of the trail. All the farms are situated in the most picturesque parts of the region. There"s nothing more relaxing than a rest in the bosom of nature. Fresh air, no cars, peace and quiet make us feel newborn.
    The journey with the European Network of Culinary Heritage Trail is a memorable experience and a fine way to gain a new perspective on this unique region.
