A few years back we were on vacation out of Ohio and around Cleveland somewhere we got lost and ended up in a place called 'Slavik Town'. We stopped at a really old drugstore connverted into a restaurant/buffet and it was a Polish place called 'The House of 7 Roses' or something like that. Everybody was speaking Polish. The daughter (40's) waited on us, the mom, late '60's, did the cooking, and grandma, '90's, did the baking. All done with lard and with chicken fat. Some of the best tasting food I've ever had, and the crusts on the blintzes or whatever they were---were fantastic. You cannot get good ethnic Polish or Russian or German food out here in CA. That is some excellent stuff.
