Which Polish product you can easily do without?

I could survive without some Polish dishes, such as kisiel, milk soup, serwatka, kompot, flaki or any other organ meat, galareta (jelly) made out of pigs feet, potato pancakes, szmalec and żurek.

how about kaszanka? buckwheat+pig's blood ..delicious:P

Actually quoted half my favourite Polish foods right there. It's all about the organ meat...mmmm. And bizarrely there are a lot of things on that list (minus żurek) that you can get in Scotland under different names and quite traditional!

Lard, pig's knuckle and tripe

tripe

I think this is universally agreed on the site. I actually have never met a person here who likes Flacki and I have never met a person in the UK who likes tripe. Infact we had a chicken dish in my restaurant back home that had tripe on the plate and it was never eaten...ever!

I can eat it without balking but I can certainly do without it.

Vodka. I have it once a year.

Tripes are OK. Yummy!
Pig tongue is delicious too!:

Seriously, tongue is pretty tasty. Heart as well...think about it, two muscles that are very lean and well worked so plenty of taste and healthy to boot :)

Still don't dig the tripe!

Wegeta. Damn stuff. Anything you cook for a Pole without half a ton of salt and a shovel of Wegeta in it is "bez smaku" według nich...

This is very true - the Polish diet must be among the most salt-laden in the world.

Also Maggi seems very popular here - someone once told me it's slightly addictive.

Dreadfully so - I can happily live without adding it to anything, but it seems most Poles demand it to be added, even to things such as spaghetti with a homemade sauce!

I always thought the opposite, that they didn't add enough salt to the food.

But then I am Scottish :P
