In a few hours I'll be on a train to Krakow, Poland. So, we took one last walk around the city and ate lunch at a place called Dovra that has a logo of a saw cutting a log. Inside, the walls were covered with potted spikes (some decorator's PhD thesis?) accompanied by a truly nasty waitress. We made the best of it and spent the rest of the day drawing and painting.

Here is a few more choice menu items I have collected:

[From "Noah's Ark Restaurant":]
Kufta - Pride of Armenian Cuisine
Nobody knows when 'Kufta' was started. Armenian women took only the best parts of beef, smashed them on stones with wooden hammers till them became a homogenous viscous mass. They sculptured a ball and boiled it. They called it kare-kufta because kare means stone in Armenian.

[Noah's also offers -] King Pilaf with a Raisin

[From "Uncle Sam's Cafe - American Grill and Bar":

The buffet offers such American favorites as- ]cod liver salad, sauerkraut with cranberry, hard boiled eggs with mayonnaise topping, squid salad, potato pancakes with mushrooms feeling, brussel-sprout with grape, glassed carrot, and green bean with cash.

Uncle Sam's Hit:
Forester Salad - Roman salad leaves, forest mushrooms in our unique service. Uncle Sam's favorite salad! You have never tasted it!

Guanabo Sheep Cheese - Fine specific taste, excellent food qualities make this cheese indispensable to beer and grape wine

Hot Dishes -
Butcher's Surgeon - sturgeon baked in sour cream sauce

Pork leg presented to Uncle Sam from Germany! - pork leg roasted to golden crust

Grilled Dishes from Chef - order dishes from Chef and spend unforgettable 25 minutes waiting. All dishes from Chef served with garnish as you could enjoy in restaurants of America

Fajitas:tex-me dish - chicken and beef stripes served in hissing pan with four tortillas

Romano Pork - pickled pork neck cooked by recipes of american italians

Hundred-per-cent American ribs - Tender pork ribs with delicious honey flavour, served with Blue Ridge smoking and barbecue sauces, garnished with young American corn cobs boiled in milk and French fries

Desserts
Banana split - Chiquita banana with three Baskin Robbins ice-cream balls (as you wish) richly topped with fruite syrup and whipped cream; you feel pity unless taste!
