Polish food

It's OK - I adore languages, even though I'm not much good at 'em.

Maybe googling around you can find better. Or wait until Fieldgate chips in.

Thanks.
Quite unluckily this time I'm sitting in a lobby of a hotel in Japan, with a tiny laptop that is ok for reading messages, not so great for typing.

Anyway, I'd go with Vinny's suggestion and make chłodnik. You'll find recipes on the net.
Pierogi (pl.), pieróg (sing.) are often made with berries, especially in season. Blueberries are a popular filling. Other fruits: plums (hungarian plums), sour cherries, strawberries.
Savoury pierogi are usually made with meat, mushrooms, mashrooms and cabbage.
Prunes in bigos - yes, that's not unusual, but they'll be only a few, as bigos is a savoury and hearty food. Some add red wine too. Practically, everyone who makes bigos does it in their own way hence the ingredients may vary widely.
Or, you can try the easy way - there're many Polish food stores that popped up in UK cities over the last years.

The singular is pieróg

Yes but who ever heard of eating a singular pierog? ;)

I don't have any recipes but I love blintzes - especially cheese blintzs. Most people top them with some sort of fruit - I can just eat them plain. I like blinis with smoked pork (Russian) and salmon cavier.

When I was in Ukraine awhile back, some of the locals were downing caviar like we Brits eat baked beans ! !
I was amazed also, just how cheap it was in comparison to here in The UK.

sasha,
Yes, when it comes to eating it's pierogi.
Blini (it's plural too) are Russian though.

Batty - that must have been a good while ago. Now it's all regulated and caviar isn't cheap anymore.

What price for UA caviar are we taking nowadays?

Yeah I know Blini are Russian, fieldgate. Back in Maryland I used to get them at the Russian market. I wouldn't have mentioned them except that they were mentioned earlier. The funny thing is the Blinis I used to get were blintz crepes (for lack of a better word) without the filling.

Especially for sashac, here's one blin.

Some are darker, some are lighter, but blin = crepe.

The blini sold here in France (usually for eating with smoked salmon) don't look like those thin crepes in #27. More like small American pancakes, like this. Personally, I find they don't have much taste and prefer my smoked salmon on thinly sliced rye bread.

Ugh! My server at work won't let me look at any of the pictures! I would have to guess that NA's is closer to the ones I buy if not exact - they're somewhere in between a crepe and injera in thickness. Hell's Kitchen showed ones that looked like small pancakes - I like the thinner ones better.

bjd - the one's I used to get were sweet and would go nicely with smoked salmon. I usually eat my salmon on a white bread with sliced hard boiled eggs, when I'm not eating it on bagels and cream cheese, of course.
