5 reasons to visit Poland this September

 

If you don’t mind taking a little gamble with the weather (it can go anywhere from 12 to 35 even degrees) Poland is the place to visit now. We are giving you 5 reasons why.

1. Mushrooms – the season for the best forest mushroom starts just now! In England they cost like gold and are available in maybe 5 little delis in London. In Poland mushrooms are sold literally everywhere so don’t be surprised seeing people along every single road offering the best Porcini or Chanterelles you have ever seen. Be careful though and don’t buy them just from anyone! Health and safety first!

Check Alma Delicatessen or Krakowski Kredens for the dried mushroom you can then add to your sauces or stews.
Chanterelles are available also marinated in vinegar – perfect as a little snack with your vodka shots. If you are in Warsaw this autumn try them served in cream sauce at U Kucharzy (Ossolińskich 7)

Mushrooms from the photo above were picked by me, my mum and Ma during our afternoon stroll in the forest close to my parents’ house.
