Polish night

Last night I went out for a meal with some friends. We decided to do something different from the usual curry hit, so we went to a Polish restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised.

I had borscht, for the first time ever. It's a clear beetroot soup, full of complex flavours like peppercorns and juniper berries. They made a vegetarian version of it for me, made with mushroom stock. It was really delicous.
For my main course I had something I couldn't possibly pronounce. It was mushrooms, peppers, onion and very finely sliced courgettes in a spicy tomato sauce. Yummy too, but very rich. I only managed half of it.

We had a great laugh and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. We were supposed to go on to the cinema to see The Men Who Stare At Goats, but we took so long over eating that we missed the film, so we went to a nearby pub to round off the evening.
