Pierogi Paradise. Happy Valentines!

(this was only $10.00 CD)

Happy Valentines Day!


I had the opportunity to spend a week in Krakow, Poland, last summer and boy was it a foodie heaven! Rich, saucy, buttery, bitter, dishes just oozing comfort and country flavor.  Krakow has to be one of my favorite cities, unlike Berlin it's clean, and in a way, very reminiscent of Vancouver. There's even wifi pretty much everywhere, which was awesome.   


My favorite spot was the old town square, Rynek Glowny.  My friend Derek and I ate way to many pierogies at so many different restaurants, one place was almost 500 years old and was frequented by St. Pope John Paul II 




 
One afternoon we were gorging on dumplings and brews and out of the blue came this wicked thunderstorm, it was pretty incredible. Kids were playing in the rain and we were eating this...



We also spent some time in the Jewish quarter visiting the oldest synagogue in the city as well as a renowned Kosher eatery, where we heard some really amazing live music. One of my favorite things on a cold winters night has to be Matzo Soup, it was pretty hot out that day, but that was no excuse for not indulging. We also had to find cabbage roles and MORE PIEROGIS.
