The Cheese Tour of Poland



Well Poland may not be particularly well known for its cheeses, but it does have one: oscypek, smoked and salted goat cheese from the Tatras Mountains.

With the texture of overcooked calamari it takes some getting used to, but its addictive. The two zloty piece I bought from a little grandmother with a basket in the tunnel near the Galeria didn't even make to within a couple miles of home.

Here's a picture stolen from wikipedia, since I don't take my camera out with me usually. As you can see, they press it into neat shapes. It took me a week to figured it was cheese not some odd pastry or wood carving.
