A traditional Polish dinner is composed of three courses, beginning with a soup like the popular "rosół" broth and tomato soup. At restaurants, the soups are followed by an appetizer such as herring (prepared in either cream, oil, or in aspic); or other cured meats and vegetable salads. The main course usually includes a serving of meat, such as roast, breaded pork cutlet, or chicken, with a coleslaw-like "surówka" , shredded root vegetables with lemon and sugar (carrot, celeriac, seared beetroot), sauerkraut or mizeria salad. The side dishes are usually boiled potatoes, rice or less commonly "kasza". Meals often conclude with a dessert including "makowiec", a poppy seed pastry, "napoleonka" cream pie or "sernik" cheesecake.
