Hello and welcome to “Forking Around with History” – a blog about food and drink, as well as language, literature and history. My idea for this blog is to do – in the area of Polish culinary history – what MythBusters were doing in the area of physics on Discovery Channel. That is, to find some oft-repeated tidbits related to the history of Polish (and not only) cuisine and verify whether there is a grain of truth to them. My goal is to make it both interesting and informative – even if inexpert, because, just as the MythBusters are not physicists by training, I'm neither a professional historian nor a food specialist. I hope, though, that historians and food experts, too, will find it interesting or even inspiring.
