In the context of pre-Christmas preparations arises a question: Is there a dish without which the Poles cannot imagine their Christmas Eve supper? We asked about it in an open-ended question. Only one in ten interviewees did not tell us his/ her favourite dish from Christmas Eve supper. Definitely, the most popular at a Christmas Eve table are fish served on that day in various ways (49%), including a carp as a favourite dish of the largest number of interviewees (29%). About one in four Poles cannot imagine his/ her Christmas Eve without red borscht (23%) - especially the one with traditional tortellini (15%) – or dumplings (22%), in particular those filled with sauerkraut and wild mushrooms (10%).

More on that issue can be found in the coming soon CBOS report in Polish.
