we used to buy a lot of East European produce as my Dad felt bad for the people and wanted to give them a bit of money (he was/is in no way a leftist)
also, with the exception of some truly awful Romanian tyres, East European produce was usually cheap, reliable and un-showy.
would you have prefered if we'd boycotted Eastern Block produce instead to show our support?
in 1981 we didn't truly know the scale of the food shortages in Poland, and Dad now says that if he'd known he would have had a serious dilemma about buying Polish food
i'm really keen to know what you thought back then & now
all the best tim
