It's obvious that food is very crucial part of our life. It's important that it is healthy and provides us with energy for the rest of the day and the necessary ingredients for good functioning. I usually eat 3 the main dishes: breakfast, dinner and supper and also I eat some snacks between the meals like yoghurt or fruits and etc. I don't go to the restaurants very often but I remember when I was in Chicago I went to one (I can't remind the name) and I ate there a sandwich called BLT. It's definitely the best sandwich I've ever had. Another very splendid but not so healthy was CHALUPA in Taco Bell. So yummy!! When it comes to the strangest food I've ever eaten it may be the prawns. I ate them once and I will never eat them again. I just don't like them. I definitely would recommend a foreign friend to taste PIEROGI.

To my mind the best meal in Poland. Pierogi ( in English DUMPLINGS ) are stuffed with different stuffing like country cheese, mushrooms, spinach and fruits. It is excellent! Vegetarian diet may as well be good as bad for health, it depends. Good prepared and balanced vegetarian diet doesn't affect to health negativity. Contrary, it provides increased amount of fiber, potassium, magnesium and unsaturated fatty acids which can improve health. It can be bad in vegetarian diet when you eat not as you should, because then you may be at risk for protein and vitamin B12 deficiencies.
