What's the equivalent of US cream cheese in Poland? Just plain, no fancy flavors. And to go along with that is there anything that comes close to a bagel? I'm from the NYC area and I miss my bagels.

cream cheese - editd/changed serek śmietankowy


bagel - not unless they're imported. I think there've been plans by expats to import/produce bagels in Poland but I don't think they ever got off the ground

Try Philadelphia for cream cheese. And Bagelmama in Krakow has bagels, as does the bagel shop on ul. Jozefa in Kazimierz.

That may be, but I've never come across a bagel (in the american sense of the word) in Poland. Maybe they were more limited to Jewish people (and changed once they got to the US).

FWIW I've known a couple of Polish people who said bagels were the only bread product they liked in the US (and who'd never come across anything like them in Poland).

It could be, I'm not into bagels enough to especially remember.

I used to enjoy going to a local bagel place when I was in the US but that was as much (or more) for the social experience as for the food...

On the other hand, if someone knows where to find fresh corn tortillas (esp white corn) then I'm all ears.

These come in seperate wedges. My favorite thing is to get a bagel and toast it, then smother it with laughing cow cream cheese. Oh my! It makes my mouth water l!

Make 'em. I do :) you can buy masa in wroclaw, or just grab some regular corn flour.

I mix it in a bread machine, break off little balls, slap them between two pieces of wax paper, roll them flat, throw them in the pan. They freeze well too.

there has been a thread about that too.. but i think the consensus was that it didn't matter if they were fresh.. btw. they aren't that hard to make from scratch, if you can find corn flower in PL.. that may also be a challenge..
