Spice level warning — Flaczki is not what I expected
I underestimated Flaczki. The deeply savoury with fermented notes description didn't prepare me for the reality. dried mushrooms brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating.
the Christmas Eve wigilia meal has strict traditional rules including twelve meatless dishes. The a family Christmas Eve wigilia dinner setting means locals eat this with ease while visitors like me reach for water. kompot fruit drink cut through it better than water would have. Don't order the mild version out of caution — the full version is the point. I'd go back. Three stars only because I wasn't warned.
