Not Polish Sausage

Fusion restaurants embrace the idea that all ethnic food is good and "fuse" different countries' flavors to make what they presume is the food that triumphed in the survival of the fittest. In many countries in which I've lived, usually that's Asian food, what with the flavors that one cannot find at home being the most attractive. However, one day wandering through Praga, we found a fusion Mediterranean place. Well, I'm not sure they would have called it that. But wooing us in with moussaka (MICROWAVED, boo) as a lunch deal and then offering an appetizer platter with salami! Fun! Made me want to buy some of the not fresh pasta on the wall.

The amazing thing about Poland is that I would never order this particular sausage from abroad again [watch out for future posts on Czech, Serbian, and Ukrainian, though]. Because, delicious and peppery as it is, it was exactly what I expected. Fresh mozzarella, though, might be worth the price of the whole platter.
