Polish people and Thai food

I have found there are only few Thai restaurants in Poland. Once, making a call to a restaurant name "Thai........ in a city nearby Gdansk, I asked about their Thai food but the Polish girl could not explain me, then I asked if anyone could ......finally, I had to say Thank you and Bye. Or ...if i could speak Polish, I would get the wanted info.

Anyway, about 10-15 Polish people have tasted my Thai food, 12 of them fancy it very much indeed. I has been encouraged to run a (small) Thai restaurant in Gdansk where there is no competition of Thai food business.

In my opinion, the similar favorite taste between Polish and Thai food is sour taste:

Polish: sour soup, Bigos, salad (no mayonnaise, no cream)

Thai: Tom Yum (spicy soup), spicy salad........(* spicy......less or more)

Do you think Thai food will be welcome?

Go for it.
Especially larger cities, with a a cosmopolitan touch such as Gdansk, are always good places for the out of the ordinary in the art of mixing the edible things.

I just love Thai food ! 7 days a week and Im Polish !

There is a great Thai restaurant in Warsaw, I can't remember the street name. Having tried authentic Thai food, I think it would be to the taste of many Poles. My friends are Thai/Polish and they said the same, that Poles who are open-minded tend to like Thai dishes. Poles like vegetables which the Thais plump for. There are reputedly many foreigners in Gdansk so u r bound to get some custom. Also, it is a port so u can get imports quite readily/easily. Just make it slightly more to the Polish taste, i.e not too spicy. I love spicy food and got a blow ur socks off dish in Bangkok but it was VERY nippy and I needed a litre of ice cold water to help me out. My advice would be go for it!!

What was the name of this dish I would love to try it for sure.

I can't remember the Thai name but it was Thai spicy chicken

quote=Seanus] it was Thai spicy chicken [/quote]

Sort of this chiken?

Not sure, it was coarser than a leg or a breast that u'd buy in a British supermarket, I can tell u that much. Raw chili on the top, yummy!! No wonder my stomach moved towards ulcer development.

My last idea is spicy chicken salad.

chicken, onion, lettuce, veggies etc. & small pieces of chilli

It is sour & spicy, served cold.

This is really nice. My friends are Thai/Polish. Their dad is Polish and mother Thai but they were English teachers. They might have some good ideas

i love hot spicy food but many people may not. polish food, in general, isn't very hot.

i dont do spicy food, makes my eyes water and my nose run lol

Onions make ur eyes water too, spicy food is great. God Bless Indian and Thai curries. I don't go to vindaloo level heat tho, or even ceylon. A good madras is as adventurous as I get. Thai curries are even spicier, make sure and bring the ice-chilled water

i always stick to korma and pasanda, there is no way i can have madras without overheating ha ha

Those 2 mild dishes are legendary, got a taste for it now. The standard curries, rogan josh, dansak and balti are all good too.

i like rogan josh or madras too, i mean the taste and the flavour, but the spices are too strong in them and i end up having a litre of water with it, not very enjoyable! my bloke says korma is not a curry as curry is meant to be spicy and korma is like a dessert... oh well i dont care, i love it, with chicken or prawns and some mushroom rice. mmmmm!!

Poland just doesn't compare to the UK when it comes to Asian food but there are obvious reasons for that. Prawn curries, they hit the spot

i know, my sister always asks me to bring some sauce for her, she loves korma too. ive thrown in some poppadums and mango chutney as well last time i saw her, she was extatic lol. prwans arent big in Poland, i actually know many people there who wont eat them just because they think they are disgusting. my mother wont even want to taste them lol.

They are not bad from Tesco, quite fresh. I love them in a Thai chili sauce. There's a specific Thai sauce, the name escapes me, but it's great. It's basically raw chilis. That's gonna p*** me off now, trying to remember the name. Ah well, bed time anyway
