not exactly a recipe for diversity in the kitchen, or the rynek for that matter.
not really although I am sure that Poles like to experiment in the kitchen, the problem is that the choice in stores in very limited and when I want to cook something I have to bring stuff from Canada eg. spices. I remember when I wanted to make Comsmopolitan Martini once for my sis and there was no cranberry juice.
i'm not a big beef eater, when i lived in the states i ate beef maybe twice a month, sometimes less.
maybe polwedwica wolowa would be good, but the one I saw was little tiny piece, I just gave up after that. Poles overcook most of their meals too and I cannot eat stuff like that, because it has no taste left.
I was at a Mexican restaurant in Wroclaw 2 weeks ago.
oh, I can imagine that. I don't really recall a similar experience, but I just usually don't eat ethnic food in Poland when visiting.
and sure, maybe there's "a place" somewhere in warsaw where they do a good job of it, who knows, but i don't live in warsaw, most poles don't live in warsaw......
so true. When I was in Szczecin I noticed that most ethnic restaurants were closed down anyways. So that probably proves that Poles in general prefer to eat their own food.
Good beef? Eh, Aberdeen Angus is probably the best in the world. Ask anybody in the meat selling business in America. I've also tried Kobe gyu (beef) and it was impressive. Still Aberdeen Angus gets the nod ahead of it.
I know that, can you find Angus beef in Poland though. I think they don't even rise those special cows - there is a long history of raising good quality beef in Scotland and I am not denying it.
Try some fish from the North Sea or the Moray Firth. Since when has fish not been good food? It's healthy and good for the brain :)
what is this? a competition? Is is because I said that Scots know nothing about food? I take my word back - but I have a Scottish friend and his taste for food is just beyond anything I have ever seen. He can eat anything and will not see a difference:).
As for soups, Poland can hardly claim to be much better though I still put Poland as European champion.
I hear yah. What can I say - my Scottish friend is horrible, but I guess I made a mistake of painting Scots with the same brush, which was silly of me.
