greetings,

i'm looking into teaaching opps in Poland and am curious about the food...is it as "meaty-starchy" as often portrayed, or are there more vegetarian-friendly options?

i'd appreciate your insights.

peace,
Y

There are plenty of vegetarian options in Poland, especially in the main cities. For further information, check out the Lonely Planet guidebook to Poland. They have a food section

Czesc:

Yeah, vegetariamism was once a dirty 4 letter word in Poland but is becoming more accepted now (so I hear). That being said, the main staples are still meat, fish, and potatoes (the Bigos is to die for though). I knew a few vegetarians when I was there and none of them complained of it being a problem...

Ask when you get there.
It is to die for.
You either love it or hate it. and then you learn hoe to cook it the way you like it.

Agreed. Bigos is to die for. It must be homemade though, the store bought stuff isn't that great.

And it must be 50/50 fresh and pickled.
Some people make it without meat as well. I believe they add more mushrooms and we know how good they are in Poland.
