Polish Christmas Dinner at our Friends’ Home

Our friends once again invited us for a Polish Christmas, starting with delicious fish in aspic.
We have enjoyed this meal with our friends a number of times over the years.

Next: borscht.


… with a glass of wine and some water.

The Polish favorite: bigos stew.


I love poppy seed roll! There was also poppy seed pudding.

I have some Polish background but I can't say I've ever eaten a lot of Polish food. It looks yummy. And I love the POlish pottery dishes too. hugs-Erika

My grandma's people were from Eastern Europe, and her meals had a heartiness that your dinner reminds me of.

Your Christmas dinner looks delicious and reminds me of the very tasty food I ate in Poland when I visited my dad's childhood home. Have a happy new year, Mae.

So fun to see your Christmas Dinner, Mae. Great looking food and table. The dessert looks super interesting - I may have to look that recipe up.

Looks like it was a wonderful event.

Happy T-day and Happy New Year! Hugz

This looks very yummy. My Mum came from Königsberg, Prussia (now Russia), maybe they had food like that, too (they fled in WWII).
I have no one to ask. So I enjoyed this very much.

That looks delicious -- especially the stew. Maybe next year our international dish should hail from Poland!

I just did you a comment and it disappeared. So here goes again:
I have never had Polish food, although I have heard of borscht.But I think it's a great idea to have a Polish themed dinner.
The poppy seed roll looks delicious. In fact it all looks very nice.
I'm sorry to be late but happy T-Day and a happy New Year!,
Hugs,
Lisca

I apologize that I am late visiting. I can't get my blog POST to load, but I got my blog to load once and now I am afraid to refresh it in case I won't be able to see it at all. Please be aware I am truly honored and sincerely delighted you shared your drink with Bleubeard and me for T this Tuesday. I am so grateful for your friendship and fellowship over a drink. Thank you for joining us for T today. I also love poppy seed bread!
