What Chleb is
Rye and wheat country loaf with a chewy crust.
Chleb is listed as a bakery item in the Poland guide, where the index tags it vegetarian and mild. That is the useful shorthand, but it is not the whole story: the same name can cover a breakfast version, a street version and a restaurant version with different garnishes and prices.
