POLAND TASTES 52 Unforgettable holidays: Eastern Poland Eastern Poland, also known as “Kresy wschodnie” (Eastern Borderlands), includes the territories at the eastern border of Poland neighbouring on (from the North to the South) Belarus, Ukraine and Slovakia. They encompass mainly the Podlaskie, Lubelskie and Podkarpackie Voivodeships. This region is an exceptional mix of cultures. The history of these lands is interesting and colourful, due to the trade routes from the European West to the countries situated to the East from Poland, as well as to wars and immigrants from different parts of the world. Traces of these events have survived in architecture, customs and eating habits. 56 Beef on Polish table TRADITIONAL POLISH CUISINE 58 Delicacies from eastern Poland The areas of eastern Poland - Podlasie, Lublin region and Podkarpacie – provide tourists with outstanding variety of dishes of these regions’ traditional cuisine.
