I understand poles coming to uk

Any specific dish you really despise?

Yeah...it is pretty vague. There are so many different types of dishes.

Begosh or sour krout. Had one of the Polish chefs make me some and it was horrible. Also Polish apple pie is ruff as is all the other food I have been frought to try over the years. They keep trying to convince me that polish food can be good.

Bigos and saurekraut? Ok so you don't like cabbage and saurekraut. That's one dish and sauerkraut was originally Chinese and germans named it that. How can anyone dislike apple pie. It's different from American apple pie, but it's a lot better in my opinion...You must not like apples because it's nothing but chemical free apples and spices..what's not to like?

Everyone i have ever spoke to about Polish food have said it is great food and so much healthier x

But this guy only mentions sauerkraut and apple pie

Wine bar...where do you reside?

They were the two most recent attempts to convince me that Polish food is good. Just get over it Polish food is not good. Compare it to Hispanic Thai Indian French Malaysian Italian English Chinese Japanease and almost any other country and can you really tell me that there is anything good about Polish food.

I would even argue to call "sauerkraut" a dish. You don't eat it only by itself. BTW, I prefer the name kapusta kiszona (kapoosta kishona) or sour cabbage, because just like FISZ said, it's not a German "invention".

What I wasn't aware is that it was originally Chinese. I only knew that it was brought to Poland and the rest of the Eastern Europe by some Asian tribes, probably Mongols, at the beginning of the Middle Ages, and it was used by polish cooks ever since. Interesting. Every day you get to know something new.



Well, you can't please them all. Personally I love Bigos and sour cabbage. Besides, it’s very healthy.

Well aside from "plinze" and "ogórkowa" soup I love it all.

PS: This conversation is rather pointless, as everybody has different taste, and one really can't say which one is better or more valuable.

Yes, People love Pierogies! Almost everywhere I go Pierogies are mentioned when PL food is discussed. Barszcz is very polular here in the US, Stroganoff...which I think is Russian, but I believe there are PL versions of this..also frequently eaten many places including Brazil. If yyou like pork, there are tons of great pork dishes. Near the baltik there is some of the best fried flounder and cod I've ever eaten. You just need to try more things and don't assume all PL food is bad because you had 2 things. That's like saying all Chinese food is bad because I don't like General Tso's Chicken and and Szechuan beef.

I think you are missing the point a lot

So what is the point?

....don't think there is one

I metioned begos and apple pie as they were the recent dishes Itries not becuase that was all I tried. But face reality its not like the streets are full of Polish restarants around the world. Every nation on earth seems to have Indian,chinese french and Italian restaurants. In the UK there are also Greek turkish and Thai places to eat. But no Polish food despite the legions of poles in the UK.Its becuase Polish food is no good.

A few other points. Stronganoff is Russian and the brazilian version has tomato sauce added so how is that related to Polish food. Also Pierogies are Russian and are shite compared to the Italian and chinese Equivalents.

If you think that pierogi are Russian than you have to be German.



So before the first Turkish restaurant was opened in the UK Turkish cousin was awful? Thank you for putting a smile on my face wine bar.

What about English restaurants? I never saw one in Poland, Germany, Czech Rep., etc...Does that mean that English food is awful?

PS: There are polish restaurants in England, Australia, USA, Germany, etc...Polish delicatessen are becoming more and more popular, not only among polish immigrants, but also among other nationalities. If you don't like it, well that's your opinion. I won't cry about it.

Polish food is a way of life, this guy probably eats bugs!!

Burp! lol

it is strange what you say as I made polish apple pie and my husband says that it is similar to English one and tastes really good.

Sauerkrout? it is more german thatn polish and if someone doesn;t like pickled food he wouldn;t like suer krat, picke onions, gherkins.....

There is one thing that Poland i really good I think cakes- I tried them in UK, Italy, France.... Our cakes are the best. And I must admit it is big influnece of jewish cuisine.

Chinese? all greasy.... Indian ok buy if you like everything spicy .....

I don't say that Polish food is the best but in the world ranking it is more to the top.

Maybe not in the UK but where I live:
NY
Polonia- Restaurant NY NY
Kasia's- Restaurant Brooklyn NY
Polska- Brooklyn NY
Just Like Mothers-Brooklyn NY
Baltic Restaurant-NY NY
Christina's Polish Restaurant-Brooklyn NY
Teresa's- NY NY
Szarotka Restaurant- Brooklyn NY
many more......
NJ
Amber Cafe & Restaurant
Bar Europa 2
Big Stash's
Bytowia
Krakus Restaurant
Polonez Tavern
Polonia Polish American Restaurant
Pyka's Restaurant
Razem Café
Tania's Restaurant

I can go on , but this was just to prove a point. If the food is so bad, why would we have them all over the place? We have some of the finest food from all over the world in NYC and the Polish are included.

Fisz,

as the title of this thread says I UNDERSTAND POLES COMING TO UK they come here to try world tastiest cuisine- especially greasy fish and chips, chicken nuggets, turkey twizlers, heavy bland pies, overcooked salt free vegetables, .....

Fisz is right!!!!
If its so bad why are these restaurants packed everynight in Chicago??

Bobak`s
Czerwone Jablusko
Old Warsaw
Mikrus
Nowa Polska
Przybylo`s
Sawa`s
Staropolska
Zofia`s

Thats just a few of them... I think he doesnt have any taste buds

An Americans are known for their gastronmic abiltiy arn't they.

I just googled Polish restaurants and there are 17 in London!

On in Wilmslow - very posh area south of Manchester....Cafe Lech, so I would say that there are a few in the UK!!

Wow....so it must be pretty tasty food



never heard that...maybe we just have more exposure than some. I'm sure there are just as many different types of restaurants in the UK than anywhere else...you just need to go out and try more things wine bar.

So for the PL living in the UK. Do you go th any of the PL restaurants in the UK? Are they as good as in PL?...i'm guessing no, but might as well ask...

In Scotland there aren't any Polish restaurants yet... only a few cornershops... But I think that we won't be waiting long for them, for Shelley found 17 (at least) restaurants in London.

I don't go to Polish restaurants.. I don't have to, my mum's an excellent cook and if need be I can cook myself too. Rosol is my favourite soup.

I adore polish food, but then again I like other types of food too.

I used to love sweet dishes best but I now prefer savoury stuff.

From speaking to the Poles who arrived in the UK in the last 1- 2 years they all miss Polish food and think English food is largely terrible. It's a matter of taste and what you are used to.

Fact.

It was sarcasm what I mean is`that Americans are famous for eating rubbish food and not knowing anything about the world outside the US.


hth

Yeah, I agree, people loathe local bread
