Smalec: Fried lard, often served complimentary before a meal with hunks of homemade bread. It sounds evil, but it works like a miracle any day, especially an arctic one. Ideally partnered with a mug of local beer. Any Polish restaurant worth its salt should give you lashings of this prior to your meal. You only need ask.

Soup: Keep your eyes peeled for Poland鈥檚 two signature soups; 偶urek (sour rye soup with sausages and potatoes floating in it) and barszcz (beetroot, occasionally with dumplings thrown in). Table manners go out of the window when eating these two, so feel free to dunk bread rolls in them.

Bigos: You鈥檒l either love it or vomit. Bigos, a.k.a hunters stew, is made using meat, cabbage, onion and sauerkraut before being left to simmer for a few days. If you have second helpings then consider yourself a Pole by default.

Pierogi: Pockets of dough traditionally filled with meat, cabbage or cheese, though you will also occasionally find maverick fillings such as chocolate or strawberries. Accept no imitation, the ones served in Polska on Nowy Swiat are some of the best in the city.

Desert: Few things in life get a Pole more animated than a good desert. Sernik being a must if you want to even attempt to convince a Pole you have visited their country. You can't do much better than the Vienna inside the Marriot Hotel. Surrender to desire and take on the all-you-can-eat dessert buffet.

Zapiekanki: Also known as Polish pizza. Take a stale baguette, pour melted cheese on it and then cover it with mushrooms and ketchup from a squeezy bottle. Best eaten when absolutely plastered. Where to buy it: various fast food cabins dotted around the city centre.

Vodka: There is no better way to end a good meal than with a few shots of vodka. Some might be accustomed to drinking vodka in cocktail form, or diluted with coca cola, orange or tomato juice. In Poland this is a crime on a par with sleeping with your sister. Drink it neat and chilled (the glass as well), and keep an eye out for Chopin and Belwedere - the best of the best. If you do insist on tampering with the drink then look for vodkas that come with slices of lemon, orange or strawberries inside the bottle. Particularly popular with foreigners is 呕ubrowka. Each bottle contains a blade of bison grass, and it鈥檚 socially acceptable to drink it with a dash of apple juice.

Dont forget about things like Saurkaut, and Kelbasi, wow so tasty.
