Polish and other Slavic agricultural cultures are well known for their nose-to-tail eating. Polish Flaczki (pronounced Flahtch-kee) soup, is one of Poland’s many national dishes and very popular at most eateries and restaurants. Angelina Peters shares her family recipe for Flaczki (also known as Flaki), but says that this recipe may slightly vary between regions in Poland. Flaczki is made from beef tripe, it’s strong but rich flavour is balanced by an array of spices, especially marjoram.
