Polish and Mexican
It sounds like a strange combination, but l’Autre in Mayfair’s Shepherd’s Market has for years offered both Polish and Mexican dishes. You can go for all dishes of one cuisine, or mix and match. Two chose to go Polish, and ordered the borscht (beetroot soup) to begin with.
I also chose Polish, and went for a starter dish of seafood pancake. It was a wholemeal pancake stuffed with salmon and shrimp and other goodies in a light sauce, and came with a dollop of sour cream. For my main course I ordered pierogi, Polish dumplings, as I often do.
These were mixed, but mostly minced pork, and came with my own little pot of borscht and a pot of sour cream to dip them in. They were delicious and completely filling. The wine we drank was a New Zealand Marlborough Hills pinot noir, rich, dark and very smooth.
