A meal isn’t complete without dessert.

That’s true around the world, but desserts differ from country to country.

Some are light and fruity and some are rich and chocolaty.

Although makowiec is most commonly served around the holidays in Poland, the pastry can be found in most of the country all year round. It’s a roll of sweet yeast bread that’s filled with dense poppy seed and sometimes topped with icing.

Ukrainians eat this, too. (Ukrainian and Polish cuisine is very similar, and in many cases, the same.) My family either makes or buys this bread around Christmas and Easter. The only difference is we don't apply icing. Other fillings include: Walnut, Apricot, and Prune. One of my favorite foods, in fact. :D

While crême brulée is indeed a quite common dessert in France, it's certainly not the favourite. And definitely not mine.

As for the rest, it's the usual Euro-New World-centric list with a thing not taken into consideration: non-euro desserts are usually older and more traditional while most euro dessert date back to the XIXth and XXth centuries, use American (columbian exchange) and or tropical ingredients and require more sophisticated material/technique.

I hate makowiec :p

NO! lmao. Oh, well, more Makowiec for me, I guess. ;) What are your favorite Polish foods/desserts?

I am not sure if I have any. I don't eat much.

Just drink the vodka, huh? ;) Well, you would be inexpensive to keep around the house. That's a plus. :D

I drink liquids all the time, not necessarily vodka. Now, for example, it is orangeade. But in case of traditional Polish drinks, vodka is on the first place, indeed.

There are traditional European desserts that were made before XIX around. They're made of fruits, berries, natural sweeteners such as honey. Something like this:




Cookies with milk.

I know. That's why I think it's stupid to compare modern Euro desserts to traditional non-Euro desserts.
