Ethnic food & fun
MARQUETTE — The red and white flag of Poland unfurled in the sunny breeze that swept across the Lower Harbor Friday afternoon. Smells of stuffed cabbage rolls, Polish sausage and sauerkraut lingered around the booth of the Polish-American Society. Brittany Bushey of Marquette was drawn to the exotic smells at this year’s International Food Festival and decided to order a “pierogi.” “I’m really picky and I like to walk up and see the table and look at the food,” she said, while taking a bite from the boiled dumplings, stuffed with cheese and mashed potatoes. “It’s pretty good.” Frank Schaffer and his wife Diane of Diorite are members of the Polish-American Society, and on Friday they were eagerly explaining the “Golabaki” (stuffed cabbage rolls) and the “Kapusta z Grzybami” (sauerkraut and mushrooms) to food fest goers.
