I should also mention that many Poles like to eat sweet dishes also for a dinner. A good example is provided by nalesniki (Polish-style pancakes made from a very thin dough), knedle (dumplings stuffed with plums or poppy seeds), pierogi with a sweet curd cheese or noodles with fruit mousses. We have published recipes for these Polish specialties, as well. The Roman Catholic rituals of feasting and fasting were introduced to Poland around A.D.900, strongly influencing Polish food traditions. No meat is eaten during the fasts, so many meatless and fish dishes have become a part of Polish cooking.

A culmination of the late lunch is the " second course" (drugie danie).

In Poland, homemade cakes are commonly served. Specialties worth a try are: yeast cake, makowiec (roll with poppy seeds and dried fruits), mazurek, ciders, piernik (ginger cake) and delicious Polish cheesecakes. For those who like to enjoy a special, gourmet taste, we suggest to try paczki (Polish donuts) filled with rose jam.
