There are several one rquirements at a Polish wedding. High on the list is eating. Well that’s not all. You also have to dance, drink, talk, laugh, sing. But eating helps all the other things go smoothly.
For example, the reason an average size guy like me can do 15-20 shots during a wedding is that you’re eating and dancing all the time. Well, eating all the time. Except when you’re dancing.
