I was thinking more the ubiquitous sweetened cabbage. Goes a treat with burritos, that does. Not.


Just head to your local friendly restaurant "The Mexican" to sample such delights ;)

(the cocktails in there are fine, but the food..blurrrgh)

Poles are stingy in regards to food consumption.Poland also lacks the ingredients necessary to make tasty greek food.(it is not like Ukraine where they don't even have olive oil but it is not like Germany).In my opinion in Poland it is better to open a shop selling heavy greek drinks and wines or even a club like bouzoukia.Poles like always to drink and dance.

What possessed anyone to create that muck?

I remember reading a Polish recipe for something particularly bland, even by the standards of '90s Poland which ended with the sentence "If you want to make it spicy, add a tomato"!

The OP's idea for a Greek shop in Podkarpackie is in teresting but ambitious - better make a decent Greek cafe and have a product range of retail stuff for sale - thereby having 2 income streams.

There is a fair amount of talk in economic circles regarding Greece's financial longer term prolems, and there is expectation that noticable numbers of Greeks will disperse through EU countries. The market for Greek items demanded by ex-pat Greeks is going to expand greatly.

That's an interesting thought, and presumably Greek products will be cheap due to their need to export as much as possible.

My feeling though is that Warsaw or Poznan are more likely bets for a dedicated Greek shop, since Podkarpackie is more a place of emigration than immigration.
