Food / Where can I buy Fresh Trout (Pstrąg) in or around Kraków? [6]

I recently visited Ojców - the trout farm there brought back memories of eating fresh trout when I was a boy in America, so I have a yearning for the fish now. Can anyone suggest where I can buy fresh trout in or around Kraków? If not, perhaps a restaurant that offers tasty trout dishes? Thanks!

Life / Reliable Weather Service In Poland? [25]

Maybe for the US but it's crap for Poland as I used to use this and it was always wrong

I agree - Wunderground was accurate in Chicago but not in Kraków. Is weather forecasting inherently more difficult in Europe than it is in America?

Food / Flour / Wheat in Poland [8]

I would like to buy whole wheat flour for making bread here in Kraków, but I am not sure which type to choose from the store shelf. I understand Graham, but there are several varieties at my local Tesco about which I have no clue. Here are the names:

Góralski Ciemny
Litewski
Niedzicki
Pieniński
Sądecki

Can anyone help me with descriptions or English translations? Are any of these considered whole wheat?

Also, can anyone explain the "Typ" that is listed on each package of flour? I see Typ 500, 550, etc., but have no idea what this means. Thanks!
