Flaki is a savory soup made from beef tripe, sliced into thin strips and simmered with carrots, celery, onions, and aromatic spices like marjoram, bay leaves, and sometimes paprika. This hearty dish, whose name literally means “guts,” is a long-standing favorite across Poland, particularly in Warsaw and Lesser Poland, where it's often served at weddings and special gatherings. Flaki is slow-cooked to develop a rich, gelatinous broth and is typically eaten with bread rolls. It dates back to the 14th century and was reportedly a favorite of King Władysław II Jagiełło.
Common variations include Flaki po Warszawsku (Warsaw-style, with more vegetables) and Flaki z pulpetami (with meatballs).
