Hate to break it to you, but there’s a good chance you won’t get to try this duck blood soup in Poland. What?! Why not? Hold on, we’ll explain in a second. First, let’s see what czernina is all about.

“I had the honour of being a judge in one of the most prestigious wine contest in Europe organised by a British wine magazine “Decanter”. Given that such contests are based on blind tasting premise, I had no idea whose wine I was tasting. It turned out that one of the finest Pinot Noirs in that contest was a Polish wine”
When it comes to bread etiquette, a loaf of bread should always be placed with a flat side down (it’s the ‘worse’ side of bread, in case you ever wondered) so that the ‘better’ side can worship the Lord (residing in heaven).
Autumn is the best time of the year when it comes to fresh vegetables. Marketplaces all over the country are sprawling with fresh veggies. Pumpkins, Brussels sprouts, root vegetables and a real apple extravaganza. But most of modern Polish marketplaces are not only about carrots and apples. You can buy local goods in jars which work great as souvenirs, try something tasty (like a traditional stuffed jacket potato) or simply go eye shopping.
When spring veggies finally appear, we Poles go crazy to the point of having a special word for produce from the first harvest—the crispy little radishes, salad, onion greens and other springtime bounty are collectively known as nowalijki
