And we're at letter Z at the end of this gastronomic journey. I know Poland has many dishes that start with this letter, but for me, I chose Italian Zabaione:



It's a dessert made from egg yolks, sugar and fluffy custard with some form of alcoholic drink mixed in, usually sweet-tasting wine but can also be cognac or something else.

@DoctorEldritch I still have to go to the south to be able to get a yakisoba. The Grain Village, unfortunately, only has Chinese and Thai stir fry places.

It's not exactly Z, but I guess close enough. Żurek is a sour rye soup that I like a lot. Sometimes it is served in a bread like in the picture below. This reminds me of my spouse, The Egg Hater, who likes the soup but always chucks his eggs to my bowl. 😂 But you can definitely replace the eggs with more sausage or potato and still have a filling soup.

@Saka I like it when the soup is poured into a bread bowl, my country does that too sometimes. Do you eat the bread too or leave it? I try to eat it myself.

Recently, I came across a new fusion version of this food at our central market: soup is poured into a waffle cone similar to the ice cream one (do you have ice cream in a small waffle glass with a dull rather than pointy end in Poland?) Looks like this:



So same as with ice cream you can eat the "food container" as well. I tried it, it was ok, but the soup itself could have been better. Though I tried the fish one, maybe I should try the classic mushroom or cheese. Oh well.

But for now, the alphabetic gastrotour has come to an end. Thank you @GoLLuM13, @Saka, @Alexia4bit, @Marwaesam, @Liue, @NadaGalal, @Evie and @saheransari for joining!

@DoctorEldritch I have never seen a waffle like in the picture. I would try to eat the container though. I did eat the bread I had my żurek served in, but usually I have it on a normal plate. The bread is a fancy option.

I wish more foods were served this way, though. Maybe it's better for the environment, not to need to wash plates or produce plastic/paper ones. Then again, one would need to calculate the amount of resources needed to bake the edible bread bowl, so not sure what is better for the planet in the end.
