| - Okay, so, my hubby, his cousin, and I wanted to try the wonderful polish platters at Bloomfield Bridge Tavery, so away we went. When we first entered we noted that the bar was very dark and damp, and smelled like an old bar room. Since we have all had our share of dive bars, and we had heard such good things about the food, we decided to stay. My hubby and I each ordered the polish platter-red and his cousin ordered the polish platter-white. Keep in mind while I describe the food, all of our grandparents are right off the boat from Poland, so we've all had our share of home cooked Polish food. The polish platter-red featured, haluski, kluski, pierogi, gobki and kielbasa. The haluski, kluski, and pierogi could barely be distinguished from each other, they were starchy blobs of flavorless overcooked pasta. The kielbasa was not any kind of authentic home made kielbasa that any of us have ever eaten, but more likely Hillshire farms or some other sausagey type substitute. Now the gobki was truly interesting. We've all had it made with tomato puree, sauce, even soup, but hot sauce? Really? Gobki, is usually very delicate in flavor, not so hot that it kills your taste buds. Sorry guys, but these polish folks will not be trying this place again.
