Polish sour rye soup built on a soured rye starter, simmered with smoky sausage and potatoes, finished with cream and halved boiled eggs — a tang no other soup quite reaches.
Diced potatoes baked with minced pork, onion and paprika, finished with a yoghurt-and-egg topping that sets to a golden crust. One of the simplest things to cook and very hard to get wrong.
Ukrainian curd cheese pancakes, crisp at the edge and soft as custard inside. Breakfast in most houses, dessert in the rest, and twenty minutes either way.
