After negotiating a plum deal for an apartment in which to live (!), another comforting meal was in order. Well, to be honest, we picked a restaurant that met two requirements: outdoor seating and a "biznes lunch" deal. As is apparent by now, żurek is a common vehicle for sausage. Rather, sausage makes any soup taste like magic. The sour soup at this terrifically idyllic spot in Warsaw's New Town was incredible.Note the bread bowl? It had been pulled from the oven moments before landing on our table. A hard-boiled egg and crispy kielbasa boosted the soup's protein content while providing crucial texture to this otherwise rather thin broth. It's hardly a meal in a bowl, though, since the wee parsley sprig was the only possible source of vitamins, whatever those are...
Congrats on finding an apartment!
ReplyDeleteHow common are bread bowls in Poland? Do they have other carbohydrate bowls? I'm thinking potato bowl...
ReplyDeleteThat bread bowl looks delicious. And I hope you enjoyed the parsley sprig!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a potato bowl, but you know that now I am going to make one. The most bizarre, I think, would be a pierogi bowl...
