Pic of the Day: July 12

What is your trout doing on my bacon?  No, what is your bacon doing on my TROUT!  A lovely mountain trout is a welcome break from routine cheese & uh, meat (wait, isn’t bacon?…) in our usual Polish fare.  I know that a lot of our buddies are Fans of Bacon so, feast your eyes on this fish with the requisite lemon, butter and fresh horseradish.  Bacon, btw, is a delish topping on pierogis, and we even enjoyed crisped bacon bits (maybe skins) suspended in lard as a tasty (albeit fatty) spread for your peasant bread — the ‘rich man’s butter’.

After this dinner, we waited patiently in our hotel room to make space for our Cheesecake made from Twarog (since I love cheesecake, and based on a recommendation from my Polish cuisine guide Daniel).  As per usual, the Allens managed to eat well that evening.
