Gofry, or waffles, were a rare treat during the bleak communist era

They’re still as delicious now as they were then, the only difference being the massive choice of toppings. Up there on the left, is a cinnamon apple one with cream, and on the right, it’s the cream with dried fruit and nuts in some kind of syrup. You can buy them in lots of places around the Old Town and Nowy Swiat in Warsaw. If you come and visit in the summer, and you want to do as the locals do, then go get yourself one pronto!
