You like kiełbasa, we like kiełbasa

Posted by: Michał In: feeeed me!

Move over, spaghetti bolognese, pierogi is about to kick your ass. Well, maybe. Europe is falling more and more in love with Polish food, according to a quality Polish daily, Dziennik Gazeta Prawna. Last year Poland exported 13.3 bn euro worth of food. That’s a lot of kabanos. But Europe – and Germany in particular – wants [...]

More Polish food at Tesco

Posted by: Michał In: feeeed me!|so very Polish

While browsing through my enormous backlog of unread blog posts I came across a short post on Bar Mleczny, another UK-based Polish blog, about Polish food in the UK. Well, there are two pieces of news to share in fact. First, Tesco has decided to double the amount of Polish food it offers as its [...]

Ah, blueberries…

Posted by: Michał In: feeeed me!|so very Polish

So, it’s getting colder again. The summer is almost over. Yet my supermarket is still selling some lovely blueberries. Over the past couple of months I’ve been religiously buying them fresh. I just thought my daily cereal routine – dominated by bananas, apples and sometimes raisins – needed an injection of fresh, seasonal fruit. And [...]

Posted by: Michał In: feeeed me!|wódka with a W

Through this blog, of course. Although I do realise my previous few posts on that subject probably only just scratched the surface. But I’ve just come across a rather impressive selection of Polish places – or venues serving Polish food in some form – on a user review site Qype. The good thing about it [...]

Polish sausages

Posted by: Michał In: feeeed me!|so very Polish

My good friend from uni, Kasia, came to London last week for a short trip with her students. “What do you want from Poland?” she asked me over the phone. Hmm, the list can run into pages – new music, good books, a bottle of good vodka, sausages. “Sausages,” I said without hesitation. “Actually just [...]

If you’re on a diet, look away now. Last Thursday Poles celebrated Tłusty Czwartek, aka the Fat Thursday. Tłusty Czwartek is mainly celebrated in Poland and in Germany and it marks the end of the carnival. It’s the last Thursday before Lent, which starts with Ash Wednesday the following week. So what is Tłusty Czwartek [...]

Review: Daquise, the Polish restaurant

Posted by: Michał In: feeeed me!|reviews

When I think about the quality of service in restaurants in Poland over the past ten years or so, I have mostly good things to say about them. A massive improvement, with courteous, often bi-lingual staff and swift service. Not always, but mostly. Pity the same cannot be said about many Polish places in London. [...]

The longest sausage is no longer Polish

Posted by: Michał In: feeeed me!|links

Don’t you just hate it when you’re beaten at your own game? Looks like Poland has just lost another claim to fame. According to AFP, Bucharest attempted a new world record a day after Boxing Day, with a 392-metre (1,286-foot) smoked sausage that took two weeks to prepare and weighs a hefty 150 kilogrammes (330 [...]
