Eating and Drinking
Polish food is rather heavy and filling and reflects the many -influences that Poland has been exposed to. Meat is normally -eaten such as beef, pork and poultry and also sausages and ham. There are only slight regional variations. On Fridays many Polish refrain from eating meat. In the summertime at lakes and the sea-side, there is a lot of fresh fish available. Autumn brings game and mushroom specialities (especially chanterelles). Breakfast is usually hearty with bread, sausage, scrambled eggs, tea or coffee. Lunch usually consists of soup, fish or meat and a dessert. Tea is the national drink of Poland, but beer is also very popular with Polish breweries producing more and more varieties of beers.
