I'm not a Polish cuisine expert, so when I saw Nina's Pierogi selling a Polish Platter at Khatsahlano Street Party, I had to try it.
The Polish Platter includes a 2-piece cabbage roll, 1-piece Polish kielbasa (pork sausage), 4 pieces of cheddar cheese & potato pierogies, and a pickle. I also said yes to all toppings: bacon, onion, and sour cream.
When I took a bite of the cabbage roll, the first thing I got was the cabbage. Then, the soft and delicate pork inside was moist and succulent. It's perfect.
I'm trying Polish kielbasa for the first time. It tastes like pork sausage. I wonder if there will be an international sausage restaurant that only sells a sampling of different sausages.

Now, let's discuss the pierogi. I've had frozen pierogies before, and it's not as good as this. Nina's pierogi is soft and chewy, but the inside is creamy.
The pierogies are topped with bacon, onion, and sour cream. The crispy bacon provides a satisfying crunch, contrasting the softness of the dumplings. The sautéed onions add a slightly caramelized and tender texture and a pleasant mouthfeel. A dollop of sour cream brings a creamy and smooth consistency, creating a luscious coating over the pierogi.
