Warsaw tripe soup of beef tripe slow-cooked in a paprika-marjoram broth with carrot, parsnip and onion, finished with grated cheese. The capital's name-stamped tripe soup.
Flaki po warszawsku is the city's claim on the wider Polish flaki tripe tradition, which appears in cookbook records from the 14th century. The Warsaw version is distinguished by its marjoram-paprika flavour profile and a final grating of parmesan or hard cheese over the bowl. The dish became canonical at Pyzy, Flaki Gorace and the milk-bar zupa boards through the 20th century, and is the cheapest hot lunch in the city.
