Very popular meal, especially when chanterelles are in season, fall, and especially in the south of Poland, in the mountains. Chanterelles and other wild mushrooms are picked up in the woods by locals and sold to restaurants as treat.

This indeed is a heavy meal – oil fried pancakes and mushroom creamy sauce -but I never regret making and eating it. It is just delicious and very special.
