BOOK FRAGMENT:
„Don't look for descriptions of tourist attractions or nature here. We decided there was no point in duplicating information, apart from the most essential, because in the Paśny Buriat publishing house's offer, you will find a lot of books that describe people and places in Podlasie and Suwalszczyzna. The list of recommended titles is placed at the end of this book. Our guide is a supplement to those titles – when you get hungry while visiting Suwalszczyzna, we will tell you where it is worth stopping for delicious local food. We have gathered here places serving dishes in every price range, both elegant restaurants with table service and bars where you can eat on paper plates.
„The traditional cuisine of the Suwałki region is based on what is in the field, in the forest, and in the lake; still tastes like we remember from childhood, when bread was baked without leavening agents and improvers, but with sourdough, meat tasted like meat, not antibiotics, vegetables from the field were bursting with juices obtained from clean earth and sun, not from pesticides, and we ate them picked straight from the bush or pulled from the ground. In many places in the Suwałki region, we often encounter dishes from outside the region, sometimes even from around the world, but we are most interested in those places that serve regional cuisine.. Because we travel over 500 km several times a year for these flavors. They are the heroes of this guide. While kugelis is dominant in Podlasie, in the Suwałki Region we will encounter potato sausage much more often than elsewhere.. And also fish, because there are as many lakes here as 'ants'!".
