Hi, Everyone!
This forum is getting quite. So I thought I'd ask if anyone has any Polish recipes for toddlers. We are adopting a little boy who will likely be 15-18 months old when we bring him home. I thought I'd start looking for some foods that he might be familiar with to help with the transition.
My husband has already discovered perogies which sound like the perfect AMERICAN food --bread, potatoes, cheese a little meet, etc. In fact, my husband was delighted to discover that he's been eating homemade (by him) Polish food for years!
Anyway, I wasn't sure a young toddler would eat perogies and I have no idea what toddlers would eat in Poland. Oh, and our son may be just starting solid foods due to some medical issues so if you have any idea what kinds of soft foods/baby foods Polish parents use to introduce solid food, I'd appreciate it.

Hi!
Growing up in Poland I remember having a lot of soups.
We always had soup before the main course which usually consisted of some meats and potatoes. Stews were also a big thing and anything with cabbage. No deep fried foods and ice cream was a special treat. Now this is in the seventies and food was not available as it is now.
Now you can find and have anything you possible want.
However, Polish pirogi's and stuffed cabbage is still the best in the world!
Have fun exploring Polish food!

Hi,
I also grew up in Poland and do remember the soups. We all loved tomato soup with a lot of cream in it (makes it thicker) and a lot of rice in it as well. Another favorite was a cucumber soup made of pickles (they cannot be marinated pickles, but they have to be pickled with only dill and garlic - no vinegar, you would probably have to buy them in a polish store). It is very easy to make and I will be happy to give a recipe if you are interested.
