Cebularz – Polish onion cake.

Me a and  Maciej decided to make this rare polish Jewish specialty, the recipe comes from the eastern part of Poland where Maciej lived once in a life time. To his surprise this baked dish is served only in the area where he lives! When we first he if i have ever tried this simple and unique dish but my simple answer was NO I DIDN’T! About a week ago Maciej discovered this wonderful cooking blog called “Zapiecek” from which we copied the idea to make cebularz. If you know polish you can read about it here. Tomorrow I am going to share some with my friends from my work place, and I can’t wait for their reaction!

Surva is the International Festival of the Masquerade Games in Pernik. It is the biggest event of this type not only in Bulgaria but on the Balkan Peninsula. It promotes variations of ancient Bulgarian customs that are still alive today. These are an important part of the Bulgarian folklore tradition and are meant to be performed by single men and women. With its competitive nature, the festival is not only a venue but also a contest for the living vessels of this tradition, namely the Kukeri and Survakari.
