Five years later I still think the same thing. I just wouldn’t.

Of course you still think the same thing.

I don't believe that I have ever tried Polish food tbh.

So I'll have to take your word for it.

Yes, I would give it a go, I'm assuming its meaty..

Only thing I wouldnt try is African food after being at a house party and seeing half cooked chicken being stored in a bin.

Crimson Dynamo 03-02-2025 09:28 AM

most Supermarkets have a Polish section so its widely available popular food

we have had a large polish population since the 2nd world war so their food influence has been fully integrated into british cuisine.

I’ve had a polish stew before and that was really nice. Can’t remember what it was called though.

You went to one party and encountered one instance of bad culinary hygiene. Hardly speaks for the whole of a continent’s cuisine.

I’m having jollof coconut rice for tea. Enjoy your haggis.

Then don’t stereotype Africans because of one dodgy chicken.

My goodness dear boy, where on earth did I do that?

I merely said I wont try african food again after that bad experience....all I would be able to think about is that bin of half cooked chicken..


A bit like a bad school experience involving liver or something....


So please dont stereotype me, cause I don't do it to anyone.

Come to think of it it is a bit strange that we have so many Polish shops in every town but never any Polish restaurants or takeaways

I like going to Polish shops sometimes for their smoked meat snacks but I'm not aware of many great Polish recipes

I think its because when Poles arrive they take jobs in jobs away from food - their skills lie in other areas



They get better paid elsewhere

I’m not sure about elsewhere but Cardiff and Bristol do. I imagine London and Manchester will too.

Redway 03-02-2025 07:51 PM

Liverpool has literally one or two.

To be fair, I can’t imagine most people seek out Polish restaurants. That’s the whole point of this thread. It might sound funny or mildly xenophobic to some but it’s just the truth. Most people don’t go out for Polish on a Friday night. Let’s be real.

Oliver_W 03-02-2025 08:09 PM

It's not that I "wouldn't dare" - I wouldn't, but it's nothing to do with being daring :laugh: it's just that no Polish food I've seen looks remotely appetising to me :laugh:
