This past weekend, together with my sister and some friends from home, we traveled to Elmwood Park, NJ to a restaurant called Royal Warsaw. This restaurant offers a typical polish cuisine along with some typical American food choices. I thought I would write about this since in class we always refer back to our food voice. For my essay on food voices at the beginning of the semester I wrote about pierogies and what they mean to me and how they tell my story. Sure enough this is one of my favorite foods and so at Royal Warsaw I decided to order them as my main entree. As an appetizer I ordered traditional Polish soup called “zurek.” This was served inside a bread bowl which made the dish extra appetizing. Although this food is not nearly as good as the homemade polish foods my family makes, it brought back many memories of how we make pierogies and other dishes as a family back home. I even brought back some extra pierogies for my roommate to try a traditional dish from my culture. Having opportunities like dining at this polish restaurant allow me to explore my food voice further.
