What kind of funky restaurant did you go to?
If you said we were sour because all we eat is cabbage, I could understand it. Between the Sauerkraut, rolled cabbage and Hunter’s stew, we eat a lot of cabbage.
Potatoes are a filler for perogi. That’s it. Or twice baked with dill.
My other half is Irish. THEY eat boiled potatoes.
I don’t remember the name but it was in walking distance to the Polish/Lithuanian museum. It really had nothing on the menu that did have potatoes as its primary ingredient. I order what sounded really good, but it was in essence mashed potatoes and put in a loaf pan baked then sliced and finally fried. It was beyond bad. There was some kind of red cabbage on the plate to go with it. I have had some really tasty sausages I bought from a Polish grocers in San Jose, CA.
