Chicken and some vegetables in a gelatinised broth. There are tons of variations since you can put basically everything in it, and this one looks actually good, i seen much worse. It's often eaten with vinegar. Large amounts of vodka optional, but when served as small portion with two glasses of vodka (per person) it's known as "lorneta z meduzą" (binoculars with jellyfish).

Why is it gelatinised? I think it would look a lot better in just hot broth.

All those versions do exist as a hot dish in broth too. Gelatinising turn entire thing into cold dish for more variety. Also, vodka.

Its like artificial selection to get rid of autistic kids. Sweet jello already bothers me, savory or fishy gelatin seems like a nightmare.

Don't forget that it's often eaten with spirit vinegar and optionally vodka. The fact that it absolutely turn your nose and mouth inside out is the point. Also worth remembering when someone accuse Polish cuisine of being bland lol.

One of the ways the Soviet Union used to torture Nazis in gulags until it was banned by the Geneva convention
