first Polish food experience in Hamtramck!

On Sunday, Eric and I went to Polish Village Cafe in Hamtramck for - what I suppose might be - a taste of the homeland.

It was an adorable little hole in the wall. Smaller, dark with a long bar across the right side of the room and little tables with red and white checkered tablecloths and candles. Unfortunately, we got there a bit late (around 815pm, and they close at 9pm). Fortunately, we were able to order carry-out -- which was what our homebody lazy-asses had been considering anyway.

Whilst waiting, I discovered Zywiec. (Which I consistently pronounce incorrectly ... along with every other Polish word I've learned thus far ... which is not very many. Lol.) Quite yummy, and alcoholic at 5.7% ABV considering its lightness and drinkability. It came in a pint ($5), which meant I drank half of it and then tripped going up the stairs on my way out. Ah, classic.


However, this level of buzz worked out fantastically for when we finally got home to eat our food. Pierogi with sweet cheese and meat, potato pancakes, and Nalesniki with apples. Delicious and greasy. Our choice were limited because we were so late, but it was overall, quite fun ... next time, I want to go earlier so that I can try potato pierogis.
