My aunt gave me some leftover food from Easter and I wanted to share some of the finest Polish cuisine with people from around the world, and no better place to do this than this cosmopolitan platform.
So, here is traditional Polish Easter cake the Mazurek:
I'm pretty sure it is Mazurek with almonds, rains and... stuff.
Of course that's just the dessert. I also got traditional jars of meat:
It is indeed real meat. I emptied one of the jars into a bowl so you can take a better look:
It's not yet heated up so forgive the floating clumps of fat, but you can tell its fine meat indeed.
I also had a cheesecake, but sadly no pictures, I ate it already because it actually looked edible.
Well, that's it. It may not be much, but I'm sure those pictures say a thousand words each. I do hope I didn't make any of you too hungry.
Anyway, I'm off to eat some of these delicious specialities, it's not everyday I get to dine on such fine food. I sure love getting unidentified leftovers.

Also I don't want to hate on polish food, but whenever I had any while visiting my distant relatives over there, it's always like a perverse, lovecraftian version of dishes I have at home. The borsch is boiled with acid. The pelmeni/koldunai/whatever are filled with things i'd never imagine. The pancakes are weird. Even the pickles taste differently. All this food has the form of regular, normal food but is made of something completely different.
The goose was really good though, that I can compliment for sure

From the looks of it it's more like Uszka which in Poland are exclusive to red borscht and are filled with sauerkraut and mushrooms. Unless you are talking about pierogi, then yes they can be filled with many things from sauerkraut to fruits.
Can you elaborate, or is it just taste?
Pancackes are one of the few things I like to make, so I fancy myself an expert (on making them not inedible((sometimes)))

Huh, yeah I guess it was Uszka which I was talking about, but I had pierogi too at different points, though never with fruits. I actually liked the mushroom filling.
If memory serves me right they were denser and bigger than the ones I'm used to. It's like comparing a filling meal to a light dessert, if that makes sense.

Well there are pancackes - naleśniki:
And pancakes - placki:

Placki
Though they were beefier than the ones in your photo, so maybe it was more to do with the cook
