Rolady Gotowe
Rinderrouladen (; plural, singular Rinderroulade ()) are a Germany, German meat dish, usually consisting of bacon, onions, Mustard seed, mustard and Pickling, pickles wrapped in thinly sliced beef which is then cooked. The dish is considered traditional also in the Upper Silesia region of Poland where it is known as ''rolada śląska'' (''Silesian roulade''; ) and in the Czech Republic where it is known as ''španělský ptáček'' (''Spanish bird''). In Britain, the equivalent dish is widely referred to as beef olives. Beef or veal is typically used, though some food scholars tend to believe that the original version was probably venison or pork, and pork is still popular in some areas.

The meat is cut into large, thin slices. The filling is a mixture of smoked fatback, chopped onions and chopped pick ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Kopalnioki
Kopalnioki (English: ''Liquorice'', German: ''Lakritz Bonbons'') is a hard Silesian candy without filling, with a mint-anise taste, common since the end of the nineteenth-century. Ingredients The candy are produced from sugar, anise oil, hypericum extract, melissa and mint as well as colouring - carbo medicinalis. Etymology The name of the candy (''kopalnioki'', a variation of the dialectal Polish word for coal mines, ''kopalnie'' or coal miners, ''kopalnicy'') can be explained by the dark colour and coal chunk shape of the sweet. Other explanations state the candy was given to coal miners to protect their throat from coal particles. Coal miners would often take a few pieces for their children and as such popularised the sweet. See also *List of Polish desserts This is a list of Polish desserts.

Hauskyjza
Hauskyjza ( Silesian: ''home cheese'' from the German ''Hauskäse'') is a foodstuff made of cottage cheese, carum and other ingredients, which are mixed, put aside for a few days to acquire the characteristic sharp flavor, scent and tacky consistency, and then warmed and fried. Often baking soda is used to condition the cottage cheese. Hauskyjza or Ser Smazony (fried cheese) or Ser Zgliwiały (rottened cheese) is a traditional product in the regions of Greater Poland, Pomerania, Kuyavia, Subcarpathia and Silesia. Before refrigerators were widely available, it was valued because of its high fastness. Haukyjza has an exceptionally strong scent and flavor, pleasurable to many aficionados, but found offensive by some people. (In numerous Silesian jokes, the flavor is compared to that of long-unwashed socks.) Most traditionally, it is served with dark bread and carway or with "music," chopped onions soaked in vinegar and oil. Some people prefer it freshly made as a type of fondue ...

Peel (fruit)
Peel, also known as rind or skin, is the outer protective layer of a fruit or vegetable which can be peeled off. The rind is usually the botanical exocarp, but the term exocarp also includes the hard cases of nuts, which are not named peels since they are not peeled off by hand or peeler, but rather shells because of their hardness. A fruit with a thick peel, such as a citrus fruit, is called a hesperidium. In hesperidia, the inner layer (also called ''albedo'' or, among non-botanists, ''pith'') is peeled off together with the outer layer (called flavedo), and together they are called the peel. The flavedo and albedo, respectively, are the exocarp and the mesocarp. The juicy layer inside the peel (containing the seeds) is the endocarp. Uses Depending on the thickness and taste, fruit peel is sometimes eaten as part of the fruit, such as with apples. In some cases the peel is unpleasant or inedible, in which case it is removed and discarded, such as with bananas or ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
