I’m not a fan of gelatins, but if I were in Poland and it were an option, I’d give it a whirl at least.

It's very vinegary. I finally tried it a few years back, after passing it up every Christmas. Only cause my parents wanted my daughter to try it, so I tried it with her. There now I can say I tried it. Then I moved on to the polish sausage and ham pickle roll ups. 😋

Just like the cannibal sandwich, that big here in Wisconsin, but I believe it's spread out over the mid-west. I'd never try that, cause it's fucking raw!!!
@Levenrack I'm familiar with the Cannibal Sandwich; it actually has its' origins across the Atlantic...

@Amyrakunejo oh cool. Probably German or Polish?... ok yeah German roots. 🤓
Actually that totally makes sense, majority of immigrants were of German descent, specifically Milwaukee, where I grew up. Poles and Irish next.

Not if there were other food available. I made a tomato and veg aspic once, and it, at least, looked appetizing. The photo above looks like Spam gone wrong. 🤣
Levenrack · 46-50, M
@4meAndyou the one me and my daughter had, was very sparse with the veggies. Probably 75/25 ratio. I'm sure it would have been easier, if it had more of those veggies to cut in the sourness, of the dish.
Found a larger image that I could scrutinize more fairly.
I say it looks okay; I'd try it at least once.

I'd certainly give it a try

My mother makes this with pigs trotters at Christmas. I eat everything my mother puts in front of me.

@jackjones68 what was the filling for the pierogi you had? Probably wasn't prepared good? I don't know, I love pierogi.
If I was a POW, for sure.
Levenrack · 46-50, M
@DrawntoaDistance ok if I "had" to, then yeah obviously. So same I guess.
DrWatson · 70-79, M
Is it vinegary?
DrWatson · 70-79, M
@Levenrack I have had something similar.

I would try some, but probably just a small amount.
Levenrack · 46-50, M
@DrWatson yeah I was able to finish it, same with my daughter. But, never again.
Levenrack · 46-50, M
@DrWatson Also it was accompanied by a ritz cracker. Helps to get over the hump.
I hope you mean Polish...

From what is it made?
Levenrack · 46-50, M
@SomeMichGuy What are you asking or referring to? Yes this is a polish dish. And, if you're looking for the recipe. I'm sure it's made with pork cuts and gelatin.
@Levenrack A Polish dish, not like something with which you'd polish something...ok.

Pork and gelatin? So like a porcine-laced Jell-o? Pork bits stuck in a flavored gelatin?

I guess gelatin is more ubiquitous than I'd have thought. Gelatin + what you have around. Makes sense.

Thanks for the info!
Levenrack · 46-50, M
@SomeMichGuy sure... glad I could.... help I think. I'm sorry your question just threw me off is all. Carry on!

Nah, not a fan of jellied meat.
It was meat and cabbage
@Levenrack these were horrible. I had them in krakow
Levenrack · 46-50, M
@jackjones68 ok.. yeah sorry. But sometimes more authentic, doesn't mean it will be better.

I had tacos that way at Mexican restaurant. Very boring and bland.
@Levenrack i definitely agree
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
It looks like pork and I don’t eat pork.
Yu’al eat that.. but dont like Vegemite?

Weirdos 😎
Levenrack · 46-50, M
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout I'd try it, never said I wouldn't. Do they sell that in local stores in the US? Or specialty mom and papa shops?
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Never had Vegemite.
Levenrack · 46-50, M
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Are you into yuckin yums, sir? 😁
Don't blame you.

@Punxi You are....... not wrong.
Levenrack · 46-50, M
@Punxi 😆 I'm on my phone doing this, I look up at your newest avatar pic, and it literally looks like you're wiping off your mouth, with your sleeve. Possible vomit? Maybe?

@Levenrack Observation Porn.

That was back when I was slowly shedding Ninja me.
Levenrack · 46-50, M
@come2gether oh come on, you didn't even think about it.
come2gether · 46-50, M
@Levenrack lol, the visual says enough. I don't eat gelatinous anything
Levenrack · 46-50, M
@OlderSometimesWiser I don't know, maybe I should take this post down. I seem to creating mental and emotional distress...... but I won't 🤗🙃
