Twaróg can be eaten plain, with salt, sugar, or honey, or it can be mixed with sardines or chives into a cream cheese-like spread."

We came down for breakfast on the first day of the stay to find a real actual salad of all the breakfasts - cold meat, croissant, bread, rye bread, cereal, yoghurt, porridge, egg, bacon, sausage, cake(!), local polish delicacies, all manner of juices. It was amazing! We ate quite a lot obviously - tried a few things, and left a few others because we were too full. Then the next day we went down for breakfast to find that they had put out ONLY WHAT WE'D TRIED the day before but in larger quantities! Market research in action!
