description

The author focuses on the culinary aspects of wedding celebrations, especially on the wedding culinary heritage in Upper Silesia and its contemporary changes, including locations where the wedding reception is held (private houses, inns, fire station banquet halls, portable wooden halls, restaurants) and decorations at the event (from folk religious art through magical functions to omnipresent kitsch). The article focuses primarily on the wedding menu: from conventional festive cakes (kołocz) to wedding cakes (multi-tiered, iced or sheet ones), from traditional regional cuisine to Hungarian goulash soup, chicken De Volaille, carpaccio, Niçoise salads, etc. The latest fashion for non-alcoholic drinks for the wedding is also underlined.
