First time trying Makowiec — completely converted

I had never tried Makowiec before this visit and I wasn't sure what to expect. The tangy and hearty taste hit immediately and made sense of the dish in a way descriptions never quite do. dried mushrooms is an ingredient I'd not encountered used quite like this before.

The a family Christmas Eve wigilia dinner setting added something to the experience — this kind of food makes sense in that environment. the Christmas Eve wigilia meal has strict traditional rules including twelve meatless dishes. My server recommended kwas chlebowy bread drink alongside and it was exactly right. I've been telling everyone to try Makowiec. Outstanding first encounter.
