NOTES : Barley, one of the world's oldest foods and a nutritious grain with an appealing nutty flavor, is widely used in Poland. The following barley dish can be served as an accompaniment to fish,

meat or poultry. It is usually made with flavorful wild mushrooms,

but cultivated ones are also good.
