Correct me if I'm wrong, but that means that fast food will win with polish food because it is cheaper, and then polish food will be eaten only by poor people.
I liked your response, your writing skills suggests that you are not polish, if you are, then well done. You must also belong to the higher level of polish society
For many people who work full time, unless you have babcia at home cooking for you it is cheaper to buy take away... ie time associated with buying food, cooking, cleaning up etc.
Take away food isn't just hamburgers it can be a wide rage of foods.
Now I fell offended by you thinking that as a polish person I have never tried fresh vegetables and fruits. For your information, we do have them in Poland
I never said that, having a wide variety of different fruits and vegetables which are accessible daily is important.. From my experience apart from strawberries in season, tomartoes, cabbage, potatoes are pretty cheap the more exotic fruits are expensive.
There is not much variety in winter unless you are flush with funds and prepared to pay a high price.
Besides, one of my favorite dishes is duck with pyzy and red cabbage /"surówka" /"kiszona kapusta". Isn't duck meat considerate to be lean?
What a feast, very nice food, I don't think the average pole would be able to affort such a treat.
but please accept that polish people have been eating it since centuries, and still enjoy doing it. Not everybody has to love the food that you do
I don't like saying this but poles have not been exposed to variety of other foods....sorry
One more thing. The kids don’t eat fast food because it’s remarkably tasty, but they eat it because they don’t know better.
The problem is that take away food contains excess sugars,fats, and salt that makes it tasty and addictive...I might say say that I love take away but now only realising that it is bad for you.... Children listen to what is on TV and act accordingly.
A company like Mcdonalds carefully engineer there advertising to target the young, everying from the color of there stores ie Yellow, red. blue are attractive colors for children to free gifts etc
Don't forget Bill Clinton loved his takeaways.
I’m not blind, nor stupid. I know that many Poles will take the easy path, but observing my family, and friends I’m very confident, that things aren’t going to change drastically in the next few generations.
I hope your right, but going by overseas trends, I don't think so. obesity is become a cronic problem in western countries.. USA leading followed by UK and Oz... like I mentioned before problems associated with overeating will kill our health system..
Let me ask you a question lef. How does the situation look with your national cuisine? Does it still exist, or is it "the food of the past"?
Good question, does any country have a national dish!
I suppose roast lamb/chicken and potatoes but thats what the British have.
Its probally the barbecue... lots of red meat and prawns (beer to wash it down)
Because oz land is a very multi cultural society, people enjoy variations of chinese, greek, italian etc food. the days of having steak and chips at a restuarant are well and truly gone.
