"We had a wonderful tripe soup, featuring cow stomach and herbs, mellow as hell; a plate-flopping pork schnitzel accompanied by two scoops of potatoes laved in brown gravy; a massive serving of bigos, a hunter’s stew like a sauerkraut hash; a choice of two salads, of which we picked cucumbers in dilled sour cream, and cooked cabbage that was better than it sounded. Washed down with a pair of large-size Polish beers, the tab came to $60, including tax and a generous tip." - Robert Sietsema
