As the Food Trends report suggests Pyszne.pl 2023/24, although Poles love local cuisine, they are increasingly looking for delicacies from different parts of the world. An ideal example is dumplings. At first glance, this is one of the simplest recipes, but each culture has its own idea – and it closes its favorite flavors in the dough and filling.
Dumplings are most often ordered at lunchtime (between 12 and 14). As a rule, we crave them right after the weekend – we prefer to choose this dish on Mondays and Tuesdays. One Warsaw resident apparently thinks it's good to eat dumplings every day. Within a year, he ordered them up to 354 times!
