Irish Potatoes - Mark's and Spencer Tea... all are good, but for the most fabulous winter footwear around you better get to ul Zgoda 5 Warsaw for their 20% off winter sale - www.malinowobcasy.com

anyone for treacle bread? :)
I've managed to find treacle so make tb quite often

and of course Kerr's Pinks are The Best Potato ... with lots of butter ... ah ...

To answer the OP -- no, I haven't found any good shop in particular though a few things are coming into 'normal' supermarkets: cheddar is becoming quite easy to get - also kerrygold butter. heinz baked beans are common in Real, at least. I'm still searching (weep) for Heinz Salad Cream though HP Sauce is easy enough to find.

No sign of Mr Kipling though and sometimes i'd kill for a slice of toasted Veda with butter :P

rozumiemnic: I really cannot believe that anyone would leave Britain and crave these utterly loathsome and revolting foodstuffs. Exactly. All processed foods of yesteryear, a grim legacy of the industrial revolution. It's easy enough to knock up some mayonnaise in ten minutes rather than buy something like salad cream.

And those sausages..............yuck........maybe close to blasphamy but they really are the most vile and rubbery sausages in Europe (discounting School dinner sausages). Mind,an old Butcher once told me that the only food Butchers will never eat is sausages :)

Unless you find a butcher who prides himself on making great bangers without the nasty bits. There are lots of them in the UK. I used to have an account with a butcher in the north who made excellent sausages: pork and leek; lamb and rosemary; beef with horeseradish. He won awards regularly. The stuff from supermarkets made from MRM (mechanically recovered meat) should come with a health warning. Dog food is better regulated.

JonnyM:

I do like good tea and coffee though.

The M & S range of teas is good and the price is very fair about 8PLN for the 20 sachet box of exotics/organics/fairtrade and about 10 PLN for the standard char 50 box. The quality of the tea is leaps and bounds above the regular Polish dust bags. Although I do not claim M&S to have the best tea selection in PL, there are speciality shops that sell loose tea the selection is very good although a touch more expensive.

why would you want to subject yourself to british food on the continent when there is so much excellent french and italian to enjoy?!

Why would you want to suject yourself to overrated French food when you can have Indian, Thai or Chinese?

Moderator :

but where is the text

On the images :) duh!

isthatu2:

gherkins

Well, we do like pickles... lol.

I have to admit I do like HP sauce. And it's not made in Birmingham (or indeed the UK) any more, iirc, so it's not even that "British" these days. I should be in Warsaw after Christmas, though; so if anyone wants some... lol.

Mind you, my time in the North also means that I learned to like gravy on my chips as well.. lmao :)

JonnyM: salad cream. My guilty pleasure I have to say - very versatile. Poles I know love it actually - goes very well with hard boiled eggs amongst many other things.

Never tried it. Nice one. Don't like mayo at all - especially the home made stuff so never really thought of trying this. Maybe I'll give it a go Just looked at the recipes/comments - a few look useful alright but some very offensive comments (!) "It's mayo with vinegar and lemon juice" Is it arse! Bloody philistines.

JonnyM: Hammond's I drove past there a few weeks ago; I think it's "yuppie" (well, about as "yuppie" as you can get in West Yorkshire anyway... lol) flats now :(

I haven't try Scottish tea yet. is it taste good ? I came across this report today - http://www.fastmr.com/prod/321030_globalseedtreatment.aspx. I'm not familiar the publisher, but it looks pretty focused. Anybody here know the company?
