New Food #4 - Chleb

So it's hardly a new food, but bread (aka Chleb) seems to be a MAJOR part of the Polish diet.  It's inexpensive, it's good, and there are all sorts available that you can get, and it's fresh every day.  I find that I'm eating more bread here than I ever really did in the US.

My favorite are the little baguettes (about 6-8 inches long) of garlic bread that you can get.  They slice the baguettes diagonally a bunch of times and into each slice they put some olive oil, butter, and garlic.  If you can time it right and get them while they are hot, they are fantastic!

Another type I've found is called Bartowski or something like that.  That's a picture below.  It's sort of dense, and seems to have a bit of rye in the mix, and it makes really good french toast (although I can't seem to find any vanilla here for some reason).

There are also all sorts of rolls, wheat breads, and other types.  I've only tried about 5 or 6 different breads yet, so I figure I'll have lots of variety to try over the next couple of years.
