Is there McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut etc in Poland? Food survey.

Never had Horse, "I dont I think I`ve had it"
I like that t.v. show Mr. Ed though:)

I had horse meat in Italy many years ago - wasnt actually aware at the time of eating it...only after when I asked the waitress (school skiing trip - no menu available!!) also had sweet meats on that particular trip....again wasnt aware what they were until later!! Both actually quite pleasant.

Ranj I think Bubs is a vegi so the idea of meat isnt very pleasant.

A....how could you be so....so....insensitive......am cringing now........almost crying.......just think of us guys for once....come on.........

Don't you have 99cent burgers in Poland? (I think that would be less than 3 zl.) We have them here. You can get fast food very cheap here. That's the reason so many people stop and get fast food in the US because it's so inexpensive and because it's fast and they're in a hurry. Restaurants here are alot more expensive. You can't get a meal for less than 8 dollars (about 24 zl I think).

Yes, one burger is about 3 zł so 1$ (exactly equivalent), but we earn (average job i.g. shop assistant) 6 zł so 2 $, and people in US I bet earn much more (10 $ per hour or sth), so less expensive for us is buy meat, vegetables and bread and cook ourselves . :)

meat is murder etc etc... and aint no other kind of meat going near my mouth... etc etc...

So are you a Smiths fan too??

My bro his wife and two kiddies are all vegies.....even their wedding was all vegie..never had a problem eating at their house foods always good

what... just coz i dont eat dead animals doesnt mean i have bad taste in music... :)


its all about the food...

...just dont be putting none of that dead animal stuff on my plate...

How Rude!!! Dont diss the the Smiths, you happen to quote a name of one of the albums - that brought me to the conclusion you like them...:)

gosh... did i...? inadvertant i assure you...


but arent they all a bunch of depressed weirdos...?

Bub "meat is murder" is the album

and no they are not a bunch of depressed weirdos, they're actually very good and still doing gigs after over 20 years so they obviously have something...

I think Poles are still in a decent shape comparing to western dwellers. Some may be just pleasantly plump, but not grossly obese (ok, a few are). I left Poland in 1980 and the amount of HUGE people on the street was shocking to me. My aunt in Poland always complained that she is fat. I wrote back to her that she could be a model comparing to a lot of people on the street (she was about 180 Ibs then).

Guess what, they got bigger since then and I gained 17 pounds since my arrival. Some people gain more than that in a year. IT'S THE FOOD plus the convenience of a car and an elevator in a 3 story building. As I literally run up the stairs, my fellow Americans are waiting for an elevator! People love to dig their grave with a fork and a knife, if you know what I mean. This might be a blunt statement, but it's time to zip the mouth for many.

thats because McDonald's hasn't come to Poland with large numbers yet. but then again it won't be so popular

we love our own food- so unless they start serving Pierogi and knedle (spelling??) i doubt fast food will catch on. knedle i meant dumplings ( i can't spell, srry :) )

so we will stay slim compared to Americans. I only see common obesity among Polish elderly, never the young. but the elderly deserve to be obese, they've been on this earth too long and have gone through too much **** and they can do what they want. Whether its drive 5 miles an hour or complain about today's youth....they earned it.

I hope it doesn't catch on. I hate fast food and it's embarrassing to me that America is the home of fast food :(. Subway is ok but the rest of the places gross me out. I'd rather shop at Whole Foods or eat a nice homecooked meal any day. Oh, and I'm crazy for sushi...do they have sushi bars in Poland?

You want a girl that works in McDonalds? Fast Food, fast love eh? :) No George, don't apply, he said Women only. :)

I feel the same way lovely it is embarrassing....I NEVER eat at these places!

Subway would be the only one I`d go too.
At least they make thier own bread.
And you can get salads

Thread attached on merging:
Polish Snacks, McDonalds, Burger King et al

Quick question:

I hear that fast-food restaurants are not really popular in Poland. Poland apparently has the least Macs and Burger Kings in Europe. Question is: why is this and where do the Polish youngsters go when they want to have a bite after the dance and drink on a Saturday night?

M-G

They go for kebabs and pizzas or to chicken joints. The Poles love their fast food.

Ok, thanks for that. These are pretty general snacks...Are there any typical Polish snacks you can buy in quick-joints?

M-G

Kebabs and gyros
Most of the people I met there said they thought mcdonalds was disgusting

Thats not true. Perhaps the youngest generation now, yes, but the 25+ and older age group very rarely eats out at these greasy joints.

That is true, kebabs are huge here. From 25-40, they do.

McDonald has horrible, horrible food here and KFC has very good food. Really good!

McDonald's in Poland tastes different from Canada.

KFC is the only fast food chain I remember seeing whilst in Poland....don't think I ever saw a McDonalds or BK.

I thought these guys tasted the same everywhere in the world...KFC in Holland is really gross and not popular at all. In Ireland it's ****** too, and here in Dublin are, as far as I know only 3 or 4 KFC's whereas McD tastes reasonable and BK is actually good. However, I'm not a big fan of fast food anyway.

M-G

OMG! Conversely!!! KFC - fatty, disgusting food.

I'm not a youngster and I prefer pizza!

In the cities, they go for kebabs and zapiekanki if anything. In the country - they usually can't afford to eat out much so they go for pizza or go home for some proper food.


Yes, zapiekanki - half a long piece of baguette, covered in cheese + other toppings then grilled and covered with ketchup. Also in Krakow you get lots of obwarzanki sold by ladies from little carts dotted around the city.

mmm, I usually make mine with a portion of fried up ground beef and bacon if you like, with 1 or 2 large onions. Quite a bit of pepper and salt with that, and other spices to your liking. Then add mushrooms, mozzarella cheese to the fried up mixture and the cheese itself will melt with everything on the pan. Then you put this mixture on the baguette, and bake in the oven for 5-7 minutes : )

McBigos, McPierogi, McFlaki anyone?
