I've eaten Polish once, and a friend turned to me, gestured at the plate and said "Isn't this why they left Poland?" It's about the only cuisine I've written off in majority. Most everything else has something I like or love. Don't even want to try again with Polish food.

I've made my distaste for Slavic cuisine known, but Poland gets a pass for the pierogis. I was there for like three days and ate at the same pierogi place three times-- it was that good.

I'm a big fan of any kind of pouch-like food: pierogis, knishes, dumplings, wontons, Hot Pockets -- you name it.

t edit Actually, a dumpling is more of a lump o' dough and not a pouch. But still yum, so I'll leave it on my list.

I had a burrito for lunch. Nom nom nom.

ita and Liese, come to Chicago!! We'll get you set up with some fabulous Polish food, and as for Greek food, well, we've got an entire neighborhood full! I was at Parthenon in August, and had some yummy lamb. And saganaki (flaming cheese--"Ooopah!") was invented here!

ALSO a pouch of sorts. Er, in that the tortilla holds in all the burrito-y goodness.

I'm about to have pumpkin pie!!

Well, Sox, she's working on it.

I think anything that involves dough is good.

Similar to pouch food... I'm a big fan of meat and dough -- meat pies, bao, etc.

Oops, I lied--I didn't have lamb at Parthenon, but dolmathes (sp? the grape-leaf wrapped meat loaf thing). Those were good, too. But my 17-y.o. nephew wouldn't be convinced to try some ethnic food and stuck with his NY strip steak. Oh, well, if he comes here for college, he'll get introduced to good cheap ethnic food anyway.
