Polish Food

C and I finally tried one of the Polish restaurants in our new neighborhood. I ordered the viener (their spelling) schnitzel and mashed potatoes. I wasn't sure what kind of meat would turn up. Pork? Veal? It turned out to be chicken. With an egg on top. Not pictured was the vegetable, which was a little combo plate of saurkraut, pickled red cabbage, shredded carrots soaked in something sweet, and a teeny bit of salad with iceberg lettuce. We spent the entire meal continuing to look over the menu, and I know exactly what I'm getting next time: farmer cheese pirogi's, fried, and a side of red cabbage. Maybe I'll get a blintz for dessert, too.
