Mister H: Jihozapad saying that 99% of the Polish people he knows hates English food Well depends how many poles he know :) Proper, fresh prepared English food is really nice. Maybe all they had was microwave "value" stuff which i kinda don't blame them for not liking :)

tornado2007: i mean, sausage, mash, peas and gravy :) YAK! Nope I would have schabowe, mizeria and mash thank you very much :)

tornado2007: ok so if you had to have one or the other, its the gravy on your chips or salt and vinegar, whats your choice??? :) It's all this "chips with scraps" stuff I don't get... no wonder everyone's fat round here... eating bits of leftover batter!!!!!!111!!!1 :) But, in general, English food is nowhere near as bad as people make out. Though if you do all your shopping in those cheap freezer shops, I'd agree. But those jars of Polish bigos/gołąbki, etc are almost inedible too. Strangely, the best fish and chips round here are sold by a Pakistani/Middle-Eastern takeaway!

tornado2007: Salt & vinegar texans love chips salt & vinegar, but here chips are not french fries... ;) Jihozapad: buffalo burgers round there :) more like buffalo thighs around the clock... lol

Jihozapad: It's all this "chips with scraps" stuff I don't get I don't get it either :) Even tho im fat lol

Jihozapad: It's all this "chips with scraps" stuff I don't get... no wonder everyone's fat round here... eating bits of leftover batter!!!!!!111!!!1 :) yeah i must admit i don't get the 'scraps' part either, gravy i like but scraps, nah that just means extra swimming or something!!!! Jihozapad: the best fish and chips round here are sold by a Pakistani/Middle-Eastern takeaway! actually i have to disagree with you there in the main, the only people who can even attempt a decent fish and chips are the numerous Chinese takeaways, i find the Indians, Pakistani's etc etc haven't got a clue pgtx: texans love chips salt & vinegar, but here chips are not french fries... ;) yeah when i went to america when i was young, everytime i would ask the nice lady in the hotel for chips, she would bring me crisps!!!!! I didn't say anything because then i just thought she was a 'stupid yank' but after speaking to some Americans on Holiday i soon discovered chips were 'potato chips' I.E. 'crisps'

bunia: Nope i disagree maybe he means Turkish, they do OK fish and chips, but the best are Chinese... All the corner shops round here sell Polish meat...

tornado2007: actually i have to disagree with you there in the main, the only people who can even attempt a decent fish and chips are the numerous Chinese takeaways, i find the Indians, Pakistani's etc etc haven't got a clue But they do! I've tried dozens of fish and chip shops on my way home from work, and the place I'm referring to is the best! They do 100 frozen samosas for £13 as well - beat that! :)

bunia: bunia Welcome back to the forums Bunia :) Polish meat in English supermarkets? Getting back on topic...today I ate Polish sausage that began with a Z. I can't remember the full name. I've never had it before but it has black pepper through it. Any ideas? It was bought in a supermarket in the UK.

Admin: Żywiecka ?:) (not 'Z' though) That's the one! :) OK... it started with a Ż :P Very tasty. :) bunia: Why didn't i think of Ż? My fault, I should have used the correct letter.. It's definitely one of my favourite sausages though...I'll be buying more. :)

bunia: its just so wrong to have salt+vinegar on your chips :) An acquired taste, I remember thinking how disgusting the frogs were for slapping mayo all over their chips.. But vinegar on chips is actually quite healthy since the vinegar breaks down the fats...
