Breaking bread, celebrating special occasions over delicious home-made food and raising a toast or two with family and friends - have long been a Polish tradition. Regardless of their ethnic background, people who grew up in or near traditional Polish neighborhoods often recall the aroma of freshly baked rye bread coming from Polish bakeries and that mouth-watering, smoky, garlicky scent of kielbasa wafting into the street from Polish sausage shops. They may fondly recall streaming platters of pierogi (filled dumplings) and golambki (stuffed cabbage rolls) brought to the table by their friends mothers, grandmothers or aunts. There is an easy way to relive your wonderful memories, by having all these great tasting foods delivered right to your door. In our new catalog you will find a wide array of traditional delights, from hearty soups and dumplings to choice meats and sausages and gourmet cakes and pastries.
