What made in Poland produce would you recommend

If majonez, ONLY kielecki!

I went on the Wawel website yet couldn't figure out what the center is made from.

Too true, but the ones with nuts in are even better!

so what's it made out of Pam?

The white Michalki and the original Zamkowe are both with nuts. I think the difference is only that White are made with white chocolate and Zamkowe with dark. There are also Pomarańczowe and Kawowe without nuts.

Thank you Zazulka. So the center is made from chocolate?

Here is more info in Polish.

Classic Michałki come in two guises - wraparound sreberku ( are smaller ) and wrapped like chocolate candy (they are larger). For the autumn / winter Wawel gave the market a new type - white . How could I learn from the Internet , the white is not white chocolate , but only a " glaze " , but I decided to retest the Michałki castle classic and compare them to the new , white.

Hey, they contain "spirytus". This is why people love them so much !!!


Not sure about the white Michalki but in the dark Zamkowe the center is made of nuts and cocoa and fat mass with a touch of alcohol.

Thanks again!

Only if I am desperate like now when have have run out of Winiary and I can`t put it on my cottage cheese sandwich.


Rybnik, that ham sold in NJ might be a spoof from rotten West! :):):):)

or

you experience the syndrome of "happy childhood memories." :):):):)


Ooops! Now I know why they behave like debils.


Bol, it is impossible to recommend fresh ham as there are so many kinds of it.

So, it was much simpler to recommend the best tinned one.

Isn`t it simple? :):):):):)

quite possibly :)

You are wrong :) ONLY majonez ketrzynski

krakus kielbasa mysliwska



rolnik papryka

Do you know that the real reason for the doom of the Franklin's expedition on "Enterprise" (1845) through the North West Passage (Canada now) were the tins he loaded on board? Franklin knew about people dying of hunger in the previous expeditions, so he swore not to let it happen in his voyage. He ordered thousands of tins to be stowed 'which were later found to have lead soldering that was "thick and sloppily done, and dripped like melted candle wax down the inside surface"'. When they were imprisoned in ice, they were dying of lead poisoning, without realizing that. Inuits reported their crazy and scary behaviour; describing their facial features as black. Franklin wanted the best for his crew but his actions led to a disaster, including cannibalism.

In view od the above: Krakus tins? Why should I try them? :-)

OK, I remember being treated every morning to a pea soup and a pork fat spread, during our military summer camps. Notwithstanding all those ridiculousness of the Polish army (I assume - any army), the pork spread was actually excellent. Wrapped in a waxed paper, delivered by "Baltona" to Polish Navy and Marine, would be transferred to Polish Army after it expired. Nevertheless it was still delicious.

Because, due to distance and transport costs, it is the best Polish-made ham you can get in Canada? :):):):)

Zelmer Poland

They're not bad products at all - I've got some of their products too.

Another company that really could do well if they actually tried to export their stuff.

The majority of shares seem to be owned by a holding registered in Luxemburg. Wonder who is behind that holding. Probably a hedge fund.

Gdańsk is famous for amber stuff:

Gdansk, Sopot and the Baltic coast are a definite destination for those who (like my friend) are shopoholics and totally in love with Amber jewellery! :) What you pay in a Wizzair fair, you'll probably save on a few items of beautiful jewellery pieces - so it's worth a weekend shopping trip! [...]

I want it all! Unfortunately my purse disagrees with me:(:(

Come on! Dump that silly purse. Turn to your credit cards instead. :):):):)


Yes, the one which brings fondle memories of the past. It was created in mid 1960s.


pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwik_%28detergent%29

The producers organised a very successful advertising campaign with the slogan, Ludwik, to the saucepan! Ludwik is a male name.

for me too.
Today's packaging is soooo different from the '80's!

  this is what I remember
  

More chocolate i'm afraid......Pasia biscuits are my new addiction. It's impossible to just have one.....

Rolnik makes good stuff indeed.

Pity because yes, I was going to say Polish produce - my two beautiful children ; )

But ok ... if you ask ... this summer I found some astonishing tomatoes in Poland. Like, tomatoes from Greece. From a hot Mediterranean country. They were amazing. I brought a whole Ryanair cabin bag full of them home. And they didn't cost £1.99 each.

You mean Pasja by Dr Gerard?

Poland candy

drgerard.eu/strona/o-firmie

The main activity of the company Dr Gerard ( until April 2011 functioning under the name Lider'S - KG )

combination of traditional production of " sweet " products with the most advanced technology
currently available on the market. The company Dr. Gerard is one of the largest and most important
confectionery producers in Poland , whose success is based on very high
quality and a wide range of products.


That`s true. Polish fruit and veg are much tastier than foreign stuff. Unfortunately, we still have to buy foreign veg and fruit when it is off season in Poland.

Fruit and veg...I agree... Very good. But it is normal that off-season they are imported, no?
We always try to buy seasonal, that ensures it is local.
But chocolate? There are only two countries in the world who produce chocolate....The Swiss and these mad Belgians :). Poland has way to go in that field :)

Yes, it is. And that is a good moment to see the difference in taste.

Do you know that Polish diplomats and Euro Parliament members advertise Polish strawberries every summer?


Yes!


:):):):) Who knows?

Well, I tried once or twice Lindt pralines. Yes, they were good, but really nothing special, comparable to products made in Poland by foreign and Polish capital.

PS. Sobieski, I just recalled communist times, late 1970s. We could compare between Polish, Czechoslovakian and Hungarian chocolate. Which one was the tastiest, you think? :):):) I know you know the answer. But if some other members don`t, I can say the Czechoslovakian and Hungarian chocolate was simply inedible. :):):):):)

These are the ones! Coconut cream in the middle. Totally moreish:):)

I've had three of these today, because they're 3 for £1.00 at Tesco (one of the very few things I buy at Tesco these days, Sainsburys all the way):

Potatoes and onions??? :):):):)
Come on, even Polish patriotism has limits... :):):)
