Nostrovia!!! For those of you who don't speak Polish, that means Cheers!!! I used this word many a time over while in Krosno Poland this past weekend in the celebration of my dear friends Eshan and Sylwia's wedding. Vodka, food and dancing were in mass amounts and if you left hungry or full of energy clearly you didn't celebrate properly. The Polish people love their vodka, but I think they love their food even more. From the moment we sat down as Dwa Cerca until we left there was an endless supply of food. Soups, potatoes dishes, meat dishes, more potatoes, more meat, it just went on and on. And all of it lovely. Well I say that but there were two dishes I found questionable, the first being a jellied meat and veg dish, and the second a fish fillet (herring I think or mackerel) wrapped around some sort of shredded cabbage or apple and covered in a bright orange sauce. Neither dish appealed to me, but I did try pretty much everything else. In between dishes of food and shots of vodka we danced, oh did we dance! Then of course we returned to our chairs out of breath and with tired feet to start the round again. Food, drink, dance, repeat, food, drink, dance, repeat! Nostrovia!!!
