As in any Catholic country, Easter is an important event in Poland, and after six weeks of Lenten fasting people make the most of the Easter Sunday Feast. Class participants will join in the customary Easter "blessing basket" and greetings. There will be tastings from the traditional Easter buffet of smoked meats and accompaniments, Polish salads and bigos (hunter's stew). This will be followed by Polish baked delicacies, the Easter cakes - babka, mazurka and sernik (cheesecake). and Yes, there will be wodka! Easter traditions will be explained, and several interesting recipes will be demonstrated. (Wesolego Alleluja- = Happy Easter!)
