"Nostalgia" - Polish shop in Glasgow

So I'm out and about in Glasgow and I notice there's a shop called 'nostalgia' which claims to sell all things Polish... I looked in and it looked like mostly vodka and stuff - but isnt all vodka the same, generally speaking? If not, perhaps someone can recommend a brand of Polish vodka to me that you dont usually get in the UK!

Also, I was just wondering, what are the things Polish people living in the UK would normally go to a Polish shop for, rather than just getting them out of Tescos or something?

Well Lettuce by name lettuce by brain (LOL) Have a look in TESCO and you will usualy find a Polish food shelf there you will find a lot of typical \polish food (Either sour or pickeld)

F..k vodka. Whisky is better.

Mmm I have a nice bottle of Bruichladdich and a bottle of Talisker put by for Christmas :)

Arrr, if they cancel my flight to Poland, I'll pop in :)

Noo...it's all mine....I'm hiding it

Aren't you going to share ? Bad kitten !

only if I have to...but they'll have to find it first

there also a great polish shop in paisley, just outside glasgow. but the name fails to come to mind. i have a nice 10 year old bottle of Talisker whiskey from the isle of skye:) and its my excuse for getting drunk on christmas:)

me too:)

So, I'll be drinking alone, then.

Don't know...I'll be too busy guarding my precious treasure to know what other people are drinking

I must learn one is not to dilute the other. Prefer vodka, but whisky when I get bored of it.

Whyte & Mackay. Gin & tonic. Beer.


Scots are strange folks. Perhaps we have more in common than we think.

There's one in Edinburgh too. I've never been in it though. Perhaps it's time I paid it a visit as I pass it every day! I have looked in though the window and they sell more than drink, plus they have a little cafe.


Yes it really is a shelf! Lets campaign for an aisle! :D

I often like to think so :)

You have to try some Zubrowka,it has a blade of buffulo grass in it and a nice smooth taste,also try some of the flavoured vodkas,Wybrowa pepper flavour is spot on,dont forget some ogorki to go with it, I throw them out of my burgers but munch a jar full in a good drinking sesh :) Also tyr adding a dash of apple juice to any plain vodka,if you feel you have to mellow it down a bit.


Ive never seen perogi (russian dumplings) in tesco's but there is always a que of about ten people laden with them when Im in my local Polish shop:)

are you sure that it wasn't a banana?

They must be good... What exactly are they?

They are dumplings filled with mushrooms+cabbage, meat or cheese/potatoes mashed. U have z grzybami/kapustą, z mięsem or ruskie. Very soft and tasty, good winter food
