You will notice people walking around eating a long sandwich covered with pasta sauce and cheese. In actuality, it is a baguette, split in half. cooked in the over until the cheese is melted.
Here it's called ZAPIEKANKA, you can get it from any street vendor.
you can get it in all different varities. It should only cost you about 7 zl. (about $2 US)
I admit, I did have one or two of these while I was in Krakow(and they were delicious!!!!)

Try one of the traditional soups when you are in Poland, they are really very very tasty:
Polish sour rye soup: (zurek) this one is my favorite and one of the culinary musts, a vegetable soup flavored with fermented bread with cooked white sausage, garlic and onions.
Sauerkraut soup (kapusniak) a typical polish winter soup based on sourkraut, ribs, mushrooms and onions.
Beetroot soup (barszcz) classic beetroot soup usually served with little dumplings filled with meat.

Usually I write on VT about museums and monuments. For Krakow I started my comments with one of the best beers I did drink in my life!
I discovered the gorgeous dark beer called PORTER from the Okocim brewery when having lunch at the restaurant Europejska located on the north-west corner of the Rynek Glowny market.
This beer tastes like a somewhat sweet Guinness or one of these dark Belgian Monks beers.
They serve it in bottles of 50 cl and it has 8,6° alcohol content!
There is also a PORTER beer from the Zywiec brewery. Has a slightly bitter taste and 9° alcohol.

Rynek Glowny is a good place; they never stop eating and drinking even at night.
Pierogi are also served grilled or am I wrong?
