I’ve been asked if the portions are really small, and therefore the people are not as obese in Poland as in the US.
The portions are slightly smaller than in the US, but it seems soup is always served as part of the (restaurant) meal. And these are big honkin’ bowls of soup— I’d guesstimate a good 12 ounces if not more... and always delicious.
In comparing today’s fish and chips (and two kinds of fabulous kraut) with last week’s baked fish with tots and kraut, definitely today’s portions were larger than last week... I couldn’t finish everything... but in today’s restaurant they don’t serve dessert as part of the lunch special. The price is the same.
There is much less obesity in Poland, but it still occurs (much more than in Italy).
