And, well, it could have been worse as far as mistranslations go. After all, it's not only Polish businesses catering to English-speaking patrons that make translation mistakes; the same may happen to U.S. businesses selling supposedly Polish food to Polish Americans. Like the one that confused the Polish words ''"szpinak"'' ("spinach") and ''"spinacz"'' ("paper clip"). Office-supplies-filled dumplings, anyone?

Chanterelles. Small, peppery, trumpet-shaped mushrooms. Their bright yellow colour might remind you of chicks, which explains why ''"kurki"'' is the common Polish name for them (see [[Epic Cooking: The Decorous Rite of the Mushroom Hunt|this older post]] for more about Polish forest mushrooms). So there you have it: '''''kasza z sosem kurkowym''''' is buckwheat with chanterelle sauce.

Making ice cream with ''advocaat'' may be as simple as buying a bucket of ice cream and pouring the egg liqueur on top. But if you'd like something a little more involved, then here's a recipë for home-made ''advocaat''-flavoured ice cream.
