We cook Kangaroo steaks on the BBQ. The meat is so tender, flavoursome and full of iron and nutrients. Also very low in fat.

In the past decade, “grilowanie” (grilling)’s become the national pastime. Anywhere you go, you can find someone grilling some delicious finer cuts of beef or, of course, sausage. Smoked kielbasa and kaszanka (it’s this very tasty black pudding related dish) seem to be the biggest hits, but shish kebabs are huge too.

And if you ever have a chance to check out the southern mountain towns in that lovely country, especially in the slightly more touristy zones, watch for the giant grills restaurants have set out outdoors. I’ve seen ten foot motorized spits of marinated meat set up by the dozen over giant grilling tables. It’s impossible to resist these things, especially when you walk by them at night. The glow of the charcoal feels so inviting, especially with all the marinating spices hiting your nose.

The smell of roasting just permeates the atmosphere when you travel through these places, and sticks with you, too. God, I miss waking up in the morning with the scent of bacon in my hair.
