I particularly like to make Spanish omlettes -- myam, myam! Or, the options here are pierogi (dumplings stuffed with cottage cheese (Ruskie) or meat (mięso) or sauerkraut (kapusta kiszone) or spinach (szpinaczki)) or the ever favorite kotlet schabowy (pork chops -- they taste best in E. Europe!).

I've been dabbling in salads as well and the pickled gherkin juice (ogorki kiszone) makes for a great base. You can also add in sour cream, dill and then put in cucumbers, some papyrka and some slices of sausage or other cold meat along with buckwheat (kasza grzyczyna) or pasta and it's a good meal.

My Mom who's got the Irani heritage is appalled at what we eat though -- she's a great cook and I never learned (strangely enough my wife's mum was and her aunts are great cooks and SHE never learned either!).
