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 customers are [...]

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.

How to find Polish food in London

Through this blog, of course. Although I do realise my previous few posts on that subject probably only just scratched the surface.

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 one, we [...]

Polish Christmas food

Posted by: Michał In: feeeed me!

Here I was, trying to find time (and inspiration) to write a post on Polish Christmas food, but it looks like yesterday’s thelondonpaper did a relatively good job.
Tom Moggach wrote a piece on how different countries celebrate Christmas from a culinary perspective and included this, rather well-researched, concise, yet informative bit:

Polish bread

Posted by: Michał In: feeeed me!

Ask any Pole in the UK, what food they miss and I’m sure quite a few of them will say they miss Polish bread. I do. Why?
To begin with, we hardly ever eat toast. Bread is something Polish people will be picky about. Take Tarnów, for example. This city in south-eastern Poland (116,000 people) sells [...]

How to survive winter?

Posted by: Michał In: feeeed me!| p for press

The Independent seems to know the answer – eat Polish food. Quite a nice article on rustic Polish food, with a couple of recipes thrown in for good measure.
Clare Rudebeck tries her hand at pierogi and herring salad and seems to be fascinated by a spicy dish called ‘leczo’. I was surprised to see that [...]

Posted by: Michał In: feeeed me!

Yum! Probably one of the most popular Polish foods, pierogi is a kind of stuffed pasta, where the stuffing ranges from cottage cheese and spices to mince meat and onions. I was just browsing through my old pictures and came across this one, from a restaurantin Warsaw specialising in traditional Polish fare:
