  • Jesień

    In Polish, "jesień" (YEH-shyen) means autumn. The autumn in Poland is approximately three months from September ("wrzesień") into October ("październik") and concluding in November ("listopad").

    It is common to harvest the last of the fruits ("owoce") and vegetables ("warzywa") at the beginning of autumn. The majority of birds ("ptaki") head south and the sun ("słońce") begins to rise late and set early.

    Autumn can be a romantic time of year, and Polish tables will be set with various types of meat ("mięso"), soup ("zupa") and other hearty fare.

  • Piwo

    In Polish, "piwo" (PEE-voh) means beer.  Beer has been an important part of Polish culture ("Polska kultura") and Polish cuisine ("kuchnia Polska") for centuries.  Did you know that Poland is the third-largest producer of beer in Europe?

    You will find a brewery ("browar") in every major town ("miasto"), and there are more than 70 of them across the country ("kraj") -- each one with its particular tradition ("tradycja").  At home, beer may be consumed at dinner ("kolacja") and especially with friends ("przyjaciele").
