I can't believe it hasn't listed the Polish "żur" (or "żurek"). It is a soup made of soured rye flour, served in a bread bowl. Utterly delicious. For me it is, by far, the best traditional Polish dish (and soup). Here you can read more about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Slavic_fermented_cereal_soups https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Slavic_fermented_cereal_s... Edit: I found it on their website, but it's missing on the map: https://www.tasteatlas.com/zurek https://www.tasteatlas.com/zurek Edit2: Thanks for pointing out that I can click on the number directly. Not too intuitive, but zurek is there!

Came here to post the same thing. Żurek is phenomenal and Polish cuisine is among the best, and most underrated. Recipes online say you need to make a fermented starter liquid called zakwas, which is allegedly sold pre-made in Polish grocery stores. But I could not find it for sale online. There are instant żurek mixes on Amazon, though, and a few packets are now on their way.

  Polish cuisine really is amazing. My favorite cold summer soup is Chłodnik, a bright pink creamy beet soup with farm-fresh hard boiled eggs and young potatoes on the side. Borowikowa is a hot mushroom soup made from wild Porcini mushrooms gathered in the fall mushroom-hunting season with an incredibly rich taste. The Poles take ingredient quality very seriously and have so many awesome food traditions, plus are getting much better at reproducing other culture's cuisines, I think mainly due to open EU borders giving a lot of restaurateurs working experience outside the country.

    Well, this atlas registers it as a Lithuanian dish šaltibarščiai, much to dismay of Polish who believe it's their chłodnik, and Belarusians who are certain it's their chaładnik.

In what part of the world are you in? Changes are there is a at least on Polish deli around you.
