We started with a combination platter of "Jewish caviar" (chicken liver, onions, hard boiled egg,) egg and onion salad, beef tartare and salmon in spinach (lox and cream cheese wrapped in a spinach souffle.) Nothing very exciting, but very fresh and seemingly traditional. The caviar was the highlight for me, having never seen anything quite like it, and very easy to eat with only a subtle liver flavor.
For dinner I ordered the meat bouquet with rice and salad, a mixture of different cuts of pork fried in a variety of concoctions and doused with strange sauces. Each bite of meat was consumed with a bit of the cabbage and slaw, and despite the fact that this meal seemed very Polish, the impressions left on my tongue were nothing short of... chinese. Imagine General Tso's chicken as interpreted by a Polish chef with no such intentions.
