Dishes from other countries influence our national cuisine. There are some Turkish, German, Russian, French, Jewish and Italian dishes.
Some examples:

Thanks to Italian cuisine our dishes became lighter and we started to use more fruit, vegetables and spices. Bona Sforza, Polish queen, who came to us from Italy, had brought most of vegetables we use nowadays.

Russia gave us “kutia” – dessert made of poppy seeds, honey and wheat.

Thanks to Turkish cuisine we drink coffee nowadays.
