[…] Schindler’s factory. Definitely the best part of my trip and of Kazimierz itself are the zapiekanki. The link talks about ketchup as the dressing of choice but I can personally vouch for garlic […]

I second the zapiekanka recommendation. I found them serendipitously, when sudden downpour forced me to take cover at the intersection of Stradomska and Josefa Dietla near the Jewish district. There I succumbed to the pleasures of a steaming zapiekanka, loaded with salad and pickles too for 4 Zlotys.

Another cheap and good food option is to take the #4 tram, and then bus to IKEA. Outside IKEA, they have grills set-up, with really yummy food for 3-7 PLZ. Just don’t ask me why I went to IKEA in Krakow :).

Great blog! I wish I had seen this before my Europe trip.

Love it, but beware, Polish ketchup has a slightly different flavor than that sold/eaten in the U.S. A bit of ketchup is necessary to give flavor with the cheese and mushrooms that are prominent parts of this.

I was in Krakow a few summers ago and regret having missed these. My credit union shut me out from every ATM in Poland, and I think these snacks would have sustained me for a few days on what little cash I had. Although I think I would have wanted to go easier on the ketchup.

Um, pierogi anyone? And, of course a Lenten favorite is poonchki. These look pretty good too.
