Museum Open Day

Last Sunday, the Historical War Museum opened its door to the public for free. It was part of an educational open day in conjunction with Stary Toruń Pierogarnia. They also opened up the 'secret' tunnel below Most Paulinski.

The Peirogi Mural

Pierogarnia Stary Toruń is a popular eatery in town. It specialises in pierogis...or dumplings. To be honest, the word dumpling doesn't give it justice. The oven-baked pierogis can be best described as a cornish pasty!!

As you can see the restaurant has decorated its exterior with this eye-catching mural.

Three Polish dishes

This is a typical 3-course meal here in Poland. First up is Żurek - a traditional sour soup made with yeast extract, eggs, sausages and garlic. The main course is a selection of perogi (Polish dumplings) and then finally good old homemade apple cake.

All dishes shown are from the local perogi restaurant "Leniwa" - see our earlier posting a few weeks back at: http://torundailyphoto.blogspot.com/2007/05/home-made-dumplings.html.

Hope Toruń Daily Photo has whetted your appetite!

Home-made dumplings

This cute little sculpture adourns the entrance of a brand new Pierogi restaurant here in Toruń. You are probably asking yourself what on earth are "pierogi". Well they are simply the Polish word for dumplings!!! The Poles absolutely love them and they form part of their staple diet. At the new "Leniwa" restaurant you can try all different types of pierogi...beit with chicken, spinach, cottage cheese, chocolate or whatever...I am sure you too will find them delicious! As the Poles say...they are "Mniam Mniam" (Yum Yum!).

The contemporary-style restaurant has only been open for a few months and is already attracting large numbers of customers. Here at Toruń DP, we are sure they will continue to do well!

You can check out their web-site at www.leniwa.pl.

Incidentally, the word "leniwa" means "lazy" in Polish!
