Breaking bread, celebrating special occasions over delicious home-made food and raising a toast or two with family and friends - have long been a Polish tradition. Regardless of their ethnic background, people who grew up in or near traditional Polish neighborhoods often recall the aroma of freshly baked rye bread coming from Polish bakeries and that mouth-watering, smoky, garlicky scent of kiełba

sa wafting into the street from Polish sausage shops. They may fondly recall streaming platters of pierogi (filled dumplings) and gołąbki (stuffed cabbage rolls) brought to the table by their friends mothers, grandmothers or aunts. There is an easy way to relive your wonderful memories, by having all these great tasting foods delivered right to your door. At Polana.com, you will find a wide array of traditional delights, from hearty soups and dumplings to choice meats and sausages and gourmet cakes and pastries.

Some foods can bring back an entire place in one bite. 🇵🇱

For generations of Poles, zapiekanka has been one of those unmistakable street-food favorites: a long, crusty roll topped with mushrooms and melted cheese, baked until hot and golden, then finished with chopped chives and, of course, a generous drizzle of ketchup.

Maybe you remember grabbing one after school, during an evening out, or from a little street-side window somewhere while visiting Poland. Warm, simple and deeply familiar, it is the kind of flavor that can take you back before you have even finished the first bite.

Bake Polana’s zapiekanka until the bread is crisp and the cheese is bubbling, add your favorite toppings, and bring a little taste of Polish street-food nostalgia home.

Find zapiekanka at Polana.com.

And tell us: ketchup on top - always, sometimes, or never?

Smacznego! 😋🇵🇱

For many Polish families, summer has a very particular smell: the smoke of an ognisko. 🔥🇵🇱

It is the scent of kiełbasa slowly roasting over the fire, rye bread waiting nearby, mustard and pickles passed around the table, and an evening that somehow lasts much longer than anyone expected.

An ognisko may look a little like an American campfire, but the memories around it are distinctly Polish. Someone brings a guitar. Songs begin. Stories are repeated. Plates keep getting refilled. The fire burns lower, but nobody seems particularly interested in going home.

And then there is the smoke -the kind that stays in your hair and your sweater long after the fire is gone. Catch it again a day or two later and, for a moment, you are right back there.

Labor Day may be approaching, but summer is not finished yet. There is still time for one more ognisko, one more kiełbasa over the fire and one more long evening outside with the people you love.

Bring the flavors with you from Polana.com. Order by August 30 for delivery in time for Labor Day.

Smacznego!

Don’t miss the sound - or the flavor. 🔥🇵🇱

There’s a kielbasa roasting over an open fire in almost every Polish summer: slowly turning above the embers until it’s hot, smoky and beautifully browned, with that unmistakable campfire aroma drifting through the air long before anyone sits down to eat.

And this weekend, it tastes even better: all smoked sausages are ✨ 20% OFF ✨ at Polana.com.

Planning for Labor Day? Order by August 30 for delivery in time for the long weekend.

Smacznego!

Kopytka means little hooves, and in most Polish kitchens the simplest way to eat them is also the most loved one: warm, coated in melted butter, a spoonful of sugar over the top.

It’s the after-school snack every kid asks for, standing at the counter before the backpack even comes off. 🎒🍽️🥟

They’re softer than pierogi and heavier than kluski śląskie, so the butter has plenty to hold onto.

The same dumpling turns savory just as easily, next to a plate of meat and gravy, soaking up whatever’s left in the pan.

Shop Kopytka at 👉🏼 polana.com. They’re delivered right to your door, anywhere in the U.S..

Butter and sugar, or butter and gravy? 🥰🍽️🇵🇱

Smacznego!

There is one herb that turns up in almost everything in a Polish kitchen, and it is dill.🌿🌱🥒

It goes over young potatoes with butter, enough of it that the potatoes turn green at theedges. It goes into the jar with the cucumbers, whole stalks, flowers and all. There is asoup made almost entirely of it. It goes over fish, through sauces, onto anything with sour cream anywhere near it.

Maybe you remember a bunch of it standing in a glass of water on the windowsill all
summer, because somebody bought more than they needed and would not let it go to waste.

In a lot of kitchens dill is a garnish. In a Polish one it is an ingredient, and often the
thing that makes a dish taste like home.

Everything that goes with it is at polana.com.

What did your family put dill on? 🌱🥒

Smacznego! 😋🇵🇱

Pierogi have been on Polish tables for centuries, and one of the best things about them is how little stands between the freezer and dinner when you order them pre-cooked from Polana!

They arrive frozen and go straight into the freezer, where they'll keep until the evening you need them. No thawing, nothing to plan ahead.

When that evening comes: a big pot of water, a teaspoon of salt, a slow boil. The pierogi go in frozen and cook uncovered for two to three minutes, and they let you know when they're ready by rising to the top.

From there most Polish households move them into a pan with a little butter over low heat, turned once, until both sides are golden. It takes a few minutes longer and it's how most people prefer them.

For the savory ones, half an onion cooked gently in butter until it's soft and golden, poured over and tossed through, with sour cream and chives on the side.

For the sweet ones, melted butter, then cold sour cream and a spoonful of sugar over the top. It's how strawberry and blueberry pierogi have always been served in Poland.

Bring authentic Polish pierogi to your table, anywhere in the U.S. with polana.com!

Sour cream on everything, or only on the savory ones?

Smacznego!

Every Polish family has a version of this. You stop by for coffee. You stay an hour. You leave carrying a canvas bag with six jars in it and enough food to skip grocery shopping that week.

None of the jars match. There's a honey jar with soup in it, a pickle jar holding jam, something that used to be mustard and now definitely isn't. Nobody in a Polish kitchen has ever thrown out a jar in their life, and every one of them was being kept for exactly this moment.

The labels are masking tape and her handwriting. No date. Just the word, in a hand you'd recognize anywhere.

You say you don't need any of it. She hears you perfectly. The bag fills anyway, and then you drive home listening to glass knock against glass on every turn.

Here's the part that takes years to work out: she wasn't giving you food. Polish grandmothers of that generation didn't always say the soft things out loud. They filled a bag instead and trusted you to understand eventually.

Maybe the jars don't come as often anymore, but you can still have many of the same flavors shipped right to your door, anywhere in the U.S., from POLANA.COM.

What was always in the bag at your babcia's house?

Smacznego!

Put a Polish cookout and an American cookout side by side and the differences show up fast -

There are no burgers. There is no barbecue sauce anywhere on the property. The bread isn't a bun, it's a thick slice of rye set at the cooler edge of the grate to catch whatever drips off the sausage above it, and that slice frequently turns out to be the best thing anyone eats all day.

The sausage gets scored before it goes on, so it opens as the fat renders. It cooks off to the side rather than over the hottest coals, because rushing it is the one genuine mistake you can make.

And whatever ends up on the table, something sour goes beside it. Pickles, sauerkraut, horseradish sharp enough to make somebody's eyes water.

None of it is complicated. It's just what many Polish backyards worked out and never saw a reason to change.

All Polish cookout ingredients are available at polana.com. Order for Labor Day by August 30th!

What's one thing at an American cookout that would never survive a Polish one?

Smacznego! 🥓🔥🇵🇱🇺🇸

There’s a word for it. Dokładka. The second helping, and in a Polish home it was never really offered so much as administered.

You'd say no. She'd hear you perfectly well. The spoon would already be moving, and by the time you'd finished explaining that you were full, there'd be another cabbage roll on your plate coated with a generous amount of tomato sauce you definitely did not ask for.

And then you'd eat all of it, because it was the best thing you'd had all week, and because she was right, which was the part nobody ever said out loud.

That's how a Polish grandmother said the things she wasn't going to say directly. Not with words. With a plate you couldn't refuse.

What dish could your babcia always convince you to have another serving of? 😋

Smacznego! 🍽🇵🇱

There's a particular kind of comfort in Polish food. It tastes like someone took their time with it, because for generations, someone always did.

Back-to-school season has other plans. The mornings start earlier, the evenings run shorter, and somewhere in between, dinner quietly turns into whatever is fastest.

That's why every dish at Polana is made the traditional way and then made ready. Pierogi go into boiling water for a few minutes. Gołąbki warm through in their sauce. Kluski śląskie take about as long as it takes to set the table.

Nothing was simplified and nothing was cut short except your evening.
Keep a few packages in the freezer and let the school year come. 🎒✏️🥟
