Polish cuisine is a hearty and flavorful cuisine that is based on fresh ingredients from local sources. It often features a mix of meats, grains, starches, vegetables, and herbs. Polish cuisine is known for its rich sauces, often made with cream or sour cream, and its generous use of seasonings. Popular dishes include bigos (a stew of meats and vegetables), kotlet schabowy (breaded pork cutlets), pierogi (dumplings stuffed with cheese, potatoes, and meat), and gołąbki (stuffed cabbage rolls). Polish cuisine also has a strong influence from its geographical neighbours, with dishes such as herring and pickles, goulash, and dumplings also being popular.
