Is there McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut etc in Poland? Food survey.

one of my friends always laughs at me for making "sandwiches" out of potato waffles, bacon and HP Sauce.

It's some weird Polish thing, obviously. :)

Well, I like them, and that's what counts innit! I don't laugh at her bloody peanut butter sandwiches and cold pizza breakfasts, do I???

that dont sound so bad??


Peanut butter and jelly with a Ice cold glass of milk....Awesome!!!! lol

what the heck is that??


yuck ;)

what the heck is *what*? HP Sauce?

It's a great sauce made in Birmingham, UK (or at least it used to be; it's probably made in Shanghai now though, lol). I expect you Americans would probably call it "brown sauce" or something <yawn> haha

i know what HP is...

i have never had that kind of meal...that's why i'm asking....

that's probably because no-one else appears to do them apart from me haha :)

McD's has spread its wings everywhere, even in smaller cities. In Tychy, there are 2 or even 3. I worked in a city of 88,000 in Japan and there was one there too.

HP Sauce above, advertised by Frank Bruno back in the day. Poor Frank, he went off the rails. Lee&Perrins is from Birmingham too, Heinz make a good Worcestershire sauce.

Pizza Hut relies on its name. I liked eating there but there are so many good pizzerias in Poland. Here in Gliwice, there is Da Grasso, Telepizza, Bombola, Fantastico and Dominium to name but a few. Many small locally-owned businesses have popped up too and they are well worth scoping out.

For anyone who says that the quality of pizza in Poland is poor, they are being overly critical. A big pizza represents great value

On the subject of McD's in Poland, who the hell ever gave planning permission for the branch on Florianska, Krakow.... just in front of the Barbikan? Hideous :(

Pizza Hut - last time I ate there, I was 10 years old. There is really nothing appealing about those places... all bright red plastic decor and oily pizza and bland salad... no thanks.

I really wish that pierogie would take off in London... like a "pret a pierogi" or a Polish version of Leon (which is currently taking over London).

I ran out of HP Sauce, so I had to have Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce on my potato waffles today. And very nice it was too. :)

One of my exes is from Birmingham, but I wouldn't want her for breakfast LOL.

Actually, while we're on the subject, shall we turn this into a Birmingham thread? Anyone for faggits and pays? afta which we can get the buzz to the pub for some Brewy Leven, eh bab? lol ;)





"ready to pierogi" makes no sense though! ;)

But I see your point. Unfortunately most Poles in London are serving coffee, so they have no time to open a pierogi restaurant haha

SouthOf - I'm now going to read your posts with a Brummy accent in my head.

On that note, I'm off to make beans and toast for my lunch... with a nice big dolop of HP :P

I know a bit about Birmingham as I worked with a guy for a couple of years, whose family is from there.

McLeish now at the helm, not doing a great job, but also not getting the rub of the green.

It'd be good to hear a few positives about Birmingham, as all we hear is London this and London that. No offence LondonChick.

Not at all.




Actually I'm a big fan of Brum... (and Jeff Lynne, but that's another story). Mr LC spent a bit of time working there a few years ago, so we spent a couple of weekends there.

I loved the Mailbox / Brindley Place... some really good restaurants and bars. I also enjoyed the Ikon gallery and there was some pretty good shopping too (this was before the new Selfridges... I bet its even better now LOL).

I like it, even though it looks like Warsaw lol, but then I like Warsaw as well, so it's all good innit.

Jeff Lynne of ELO, right? He's cool. I can't believe bit** was edited from the random abuse thread but kurwa wasn't. Bit** is not that strong thrown with standard intonation. Kurwa is going out of fashion a bit in Poland as it is less cool to swear. Not only I have noticed that

So, Brummies?

lol - I'm with you there. Well, as long as it took off elsewhere too...London is a bit far just for a snack ;)

frozen mail order? :)

hi there i am going to Wroclaw next month [first time in poland] and i was wondering what the cost of a macdonalds and kfc and polish food and of course the vodka can you help me there thanks vince from torquay devon england

ps i got the flight from martin lewis [clever man] £6.02 return from bristol airport

this cake is called Kopiec Kreta (Mole's Mound) and u can get a ready mix in the shop made by Dr. Oetker brand.

Ketchup is a sauce.

And way different from Ketchup in the US. Our ketchup would taste horrible on pizza, but the PL ketchup tastes ok on it.

that's racist... what's the difference between them???

There's is a different taste. A little bit sweeter than our salty ketchup. What can I say? I'm racist towards US ketchup:)

Its thicker in the US

and why would anybody put ketchup and corn on a pizza????

for the same reason why people make pbsj sandwiches..... yucks...

How about PBJ with sliced bananas in it....yummy

Thats known as the Elvis special...lol

yeah, right....and plus Polish ketchup... lol

PB and J OR PB and Banana. Either one is yummy.

PBJ&B - Sugar shock!

As for Ketchup on Pizza? Haven't yet developed a taste for it yet.

Fluffanutters!!!!

MMMMMMM.....fluffernutters.....I love those sandwiches:)
