Food / Polish cuisine and eating habits missed by Poles abroad [16]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could help with a project I am currently writing for my cooking course? My project is based on Polish eating and drinking customs in the UK and what they miss from their homeland?

I have questions such as:
1. Do Polish people prefer to cook their traditional Polish foods at home are they commonly used to eating out or buying a take-away?
2. What are the main Polish eating customs eg. times to eat, favorite dishes, how are their meals arranged, drinks served with meals etc...
3. Do Polish people in the Uk eat more "english" food or do they prefer to cook their own national dishes if they can?

4. Are there enough facilities for Polish people in the UK, with regards to getting their own recipes either as raw or already cooked?
5. How much would a POlish person be prepared to pay for a main course in an ENglish/Polish restaurant in the UK?

Many thanks for all of your advice
Kind Regards
Sarah

UK, Ireland / Polish Restaurant - Polski Kuchnia in the Greater Manchester area [48]

Hello,

I am in the process of opening a Polish restaurant in the Greater Manchester area, and wondered if some Polish people on this forum, could give me some advice please?

Basically, I am in the process of recruiting an award winning Polish chef, so the food will be traditional and tasty. I just have a few questions:

1. Would you visit a Polish restaurant if there was one in the area that you lived (as apparently from previous research it seems most Polish people cook at home in Poland)?

2. How often would you visit such a restaurant if you enjoyed the food?

3. Would you purchase food if a take-away option was delivered to your work place?

4. Are there any traditions that the Polish follow when sitting down to eat?

5. What do you miss from Poland that you would like to see in a restaurant? ie. polish music, magazines, appetizers before food is delivered....

Any other information would be greatfully received.

Many thanks in advance

Hi there

I was just wondering, on which dates of the year do Poles have festivals or celebrate an occasion? ie. like thanks-giving in the US?

Thanks
