Tony2462 1 | 12 3 Aug 2010 / #1Can anyone help I live in Krakow and I am trying to find some english cider in cans or bottles to drink at home, also some good english cheddar ( strong flavour), I love polish food but some tastes from england will never die! If you know where I can get either of these or you have something you want from home over here lets see if we can help each other out
POLENGGGs 2 | 150 3 Aug 2010 / #3order it from sainsburys or m&s's online store ?otherwise you gotta settle for cheese which tastes like cheese spread baked into formas for cider, there actually is a ok brand and its cheap , don't know if it is available in Malopolska, the 'wine' I am talking about is called ANTO£EK. Its available in £ódź anyhow...
Harry 3 Aug 2010 / #4I am trying to find some english cider in cans or bottles to drink at home,A company called John King Polska import Bulmers but it is pricey (23zl a bottle in the bar in Warsaw that stocks it). Your alternatives are to come get the stuff in Warsaw from Fish & Chips or to have the stuff sent over by britishcornershop.co.uk (52 cans of Natch is £80 including shipping).
POLENGGGs 2 | 150 3 Aug 2010 / #5I think it would be more economical to book a return to london and go into a offflicense
Jay24 12 | 64 3 Aug 2010 / #6Remember drinking Bulmers in Nic Nowego about a year ago. I've not actually looked recently to see if they still sell it but it might be worth checking out.
setanta 2 | 1 3 Aug 2010 / #7Cheddar you should be able to get in Alma or Carrefour (at least that's the case here in Tarnow). For cider I've no idea but a shame no one is considering how many apples we have in this region.Just came back from Estonia. Lots of cider there. Not just apple and pear but also lemon, cherry and melon flavoured. Yummy!
wildrover 98 | 4431 3 Aug 2010 / #8I have tons more apples than i can eat in my garden....maybe i ought to start making cider...???
time means 5 | 1309 3 Aug 2010 / #9Wildrover cider has a catchy ring to it. Hand pressed by buxom Polish wenches in traditional costume.
irishlodz 1 | 135 3 Aug 2010 / #11big carrefour stores have a wiltshire cheese in the main fridge. alma and real do kerrygold cheedar, red and white at the cheese counter.a wine shop in lodz does spanish organic cider that isn't bad. 22pln for 1L. pricey. I've also found polish cider in champagne bottles. like scrumpy with little fizz. similar price.
polkamaniac 1 | 482 3 Aug 2010 / #12I think that this will help you out: this product you can buy in every bigger shop (tesco, kaufland etc)Iin polish it is called "ocet jablkowy" enjoy
OP Tony2462 1 | 12 3 Aug 2010 / #13I Know that Magners is 65zl for 24 cans in tesco calais maybe it would be an idea to start up a cider club and send a van to collect some and maybe some John Smiths etc.I currently have to go to a couple of bars in Krakow and pay 14 or 15zl for a large strongbow.
Harry 3 Aug 2010 / #14an idea to start up a cider club and send a vanNo need to send it all the way to Calais: the Warsaw fish & chip shop have a van coming to Poland every week and are happy to bring back whatever you want. You'd (probably) just need to get it from Warsaw.
OP Tony2462 1 | 12 3 Aug 2010 / #15I have inlaws in warsaw, any idea how i can get in touch with the warsaw fish and chip shop?
smurf 38 | 1940 3 Aug 2010 / #17Jaysys, I'd love some Irish cider, can't inderstand why you can get crap like apple-flavoured beer here but not proper cider, surely with the hot weather here. it'd be a success.I suppose the irish pubs have bulmers...no sorry magners...but since there's none in Kato anymore I'm not sure.I got Cheddar in Lerlerc last week, it was alright like but not the best, although must better than the shite gouda you get in shop
OP Tony2462 1 | 12 3 Aug 2010 / #18Smurf I am working on the cider drought if enough people want it then it can be got watch this space.
Harry 3 Aug 2010 / #19It can already be had in Poland: John King Polska have Bulmers and Fish & Chips can bring back anything that's sold in the UK.
OP Tony2462 1 | 12 3 Aug 2010 / #20Harry any idea how much it is at John King Polska as I have been on their website but cant find it there.
smurf 38 | 1940 3 Aug 2010 / #22if enough people want it then it can be gotHope so, just make sure and get it before the snow comes, cider is useless when it's in cold weather
aaaaa 4 Aug 2010 / #23/me prefers swedish, pear cider (kopperberg) than English ciders... anyone knows where can i fing it in Poznan/Bydgoszcz/Torun area?
polkamaniac 1 | 482 4 Aug 2010 / #24aaaaaaa---this product you can buy in every bigger shop (tesco, kaufland etc)Iin polish it is called "ocet jablkowy" enjoy
RubasznyRumcajs 5 | 495 4 Aug 2010 / #251. kopperberg is a famous pear cider, not an apple cider2. apple cider != ocet jablkowy AND apple cider != winko jabłkowe
MareGaea 29 | 2751 4 Aug 2010 / #26. kopperberg is a famous pear cider, not an apple ciderKopparberg is available in different tastes, not only pear. Don't know if it's available in apple, but I do know you have also a blueberry variety and some othe fruits.>^..^<M-G (and Bulmers wanted their cut of the success of Kopparbeg in Ireland, so they suddenly release also a pear cider and a blueberry cider - how surprising)
RubasznyRumcajs 5 | 495 4 Aug 2010 / #27Kopparberg is available in different tastes, not only pear.yes, i know- but perry is their main product (as far i know). and, speaking about other fruits- i cannot stand most of them**only elderflower and lime is good
beckski 12 | 1609 4 Aug 2010 / #29My sis would buy sauerkraut juice and drink it right out of the can. I nearly gagged watching her drink it. Much too bitter for my liking. The only thing I'd consider using the product for, is adding flavor to Polish food.
OP Tony2462 1 | 12 4 Aug 2010 / #30When Adam and Eve ate the apple from the Garden of Eden God was mighty peeved and he did say unto Eve"Damn it woman that was my best Cider Apple"
