Spice level warning — Makowiec is not what I expected

I underestimated Makowiec. The deeply savoury with fermented notes description didn't prepare me for the reality. smoked sausage brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating.

the Christmas Eve wigilia meal has strict traditional rules including twelve meatless dishes. The a traditional Polish restaurant setting means locals eat this with ease while visitors like me reach for water. Żubrówka bison grass vodka cut through it better than water would have. Don't order the mild version out of caution — the full version is the point. I'd go back. Three stars only because I wasn't warned.
