Polish uszka, also known as "little ears"

Further to my post on 22nd October 2013, when I talked about Borcht, Elzbieta sent me this card from Poland. This card shows a Traditional Polish borscht with dumplings called "Uszka". 


Polish uszka, also known as "little ears" because of their shape, are one of the three main Polish filled dumplings/crepes along with pierogi and nalesniki. They are typically made with savory fillings and boiled in broth. Mushroom-filled uszka served in beetbarszcz are a favorite for Christmas Eve wigilia dinner.

Thank you Elzbieta for afixing such beautiful stamps on the card. What pretty roses!
