Good Food in Szczebrzeszyn over Christmas

Just back from Szczebrzeszyn in eastern Poland where me and my wife spent a few days with her parents over Christmas.  While travelling there, we stopped off at a wonderful traditional Polish restaurant near the small town of Ryki on the Warsaw-Lublin road.  What you can see below is the meal I had:  pork joint, oiled salad; grilled pepper, fried mushrooms, and mashed potatoes.  Yes, this was genuinely scrumptuous.


Inside the restaurant, it was like being in a museum, my favourite antique piece being the small rocking horse below:


As usual, I also really enjoyed my mother-in-law's homemade food which included the following:


1.  Vegetarian Gołąbki with some kind of oatmeal and rice (rather than the traditional pork) inside the cabbage leaves



2.  Babcia's (Grandma's) Biscuits - these are better eaten just after being cooked, as they have an incredible buttery taste



3.  Apple and Walnut Cream Sponge Cake and Soft Raspberry Cheesecake



4.  Homemade Kiełbasa (Sausage) cooked on top of a radiator - this really is the best way of cooking homemade sausage, although it does require a certain amount of patience.
