<< I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for Books on Period Polish
 Cooking....or even better some recipes...
 I'm very anxious to compare my "old family recipes" to see just how
 changed they became over the years.. >>
Ok here goes first i do not say I know all there is to know about poland or
its foods
The area that constitutes modern poland is small compared to the kingdom in
the gothic period and into the renascence period it basicly contained modern
Poland Lithuania {after the marriage of the last piast heiress to the grand
duke of] most of belarussia and the western ukraine. The foods there of were
divided into 5 classes according to my source[Zbigniew Kuchowicz "old polish
customs of the 17th-18th cent.] These later merged into your typical three
styles of cusine peasantry,burghers,and nobility. Now for the nation itself
yes it was over run or invaded many times over its long history but it did not
disappear as a nation untill 1796 after the american revolution [third
partiction between Russia,Prussia and Austria} for polish cooking and a brief
history and some period sourec material get a hold of Old Polish Traditions in
the kitchen and at table by Maria lemnis and Henryk Vitry in english good luck
