We spent a four day weekend in Poland to attend Paul's colleague's wedding. There was a small Dutch contingent that made the trip over to Poland. It was fun, fun, fun! A ceremony in the town hall was followed by a reception in a grand palatial venue, dinner started at 6pm and the food continued until the wee hours of the morning. The Poles certainly know how to throw a good party with 110 litres of vodka for only 106 guests. And to help consume more food and more drink, there was a lot of dancing to a Polish band. The first dinner reception lasted until about 6am in the morning and the die-hard party people managed to get 2-3 hours of sleep before the second day of partying. One of the highlights of the first night, was the roast boar. To celebrate his daughter's wedding, the bride's father organised a wild boar to be roasted and at midnight the guests were advised to gather around the dance floor for a special surprise. I was expecting a bridal waltz or the wedding cake cutting ceremony. Wrong! The chef wheeled out a trolley onto the middle of the dance floor the roast boar and two massive candles in the middle. The bottom photo is about 15 different ways of preparing pork on a large platter (not from the boar but a regular pig). This was part of the feast from the Sunday (Day 2) reception.
