WHAT TO EAT?
Just when you thought you got the hang of Polish cuisine and the long names, Silesian cuisine takes you on an altogether different linguistic and culinary experience. So what's best to try? Well, there are over 100 regional dishes you can test, but the most quintessential dishes are meat based, such as 'rolada śląska', a rolled beef patty filled with onions, bacon and pickles. This surprisingly tasty dish comes with some Silesian dumplings ('kluskie śląskie') and red cabbage or fried sauerkraut on the side. 'Żur śląski', a sourdough soup but mixed with potatoes is equally popular, as are 'krupnioki śląskie', a blood sausage consisting of pig's blood, pork offal and buckwheat. The taste sensations differ slightly across Silesia, and in the Częstochowa region, food is rich in vegetables and mushrooms, whereas in the mountainous Beskid region, pastoral foods are more prominent, from home reared meats to dairy products.![](https://s.inyourpocket.com/img/text/poland/katowice/logo-slaskie-smaki.jpg)
