It is probably sacrilegious but Polish bread makes good toast.
Homemade Polish rye bread would easily become contaminated with ergot which is now synthesized as LSD-25 giving the Polish varieties of religious experience.

ergot requires a intermediary plant before it can infest rye and now the plant is mostly missing from the Polish landscape (it's called berberys in Polish IIRC)
OK - I was wrong - ergot has nothing to do with 'berberys' (barberry) - it's completely different fungus that does (stem rust)

. Bought bread is good enough.
I hear more and more stories about baking one`s own bread. One day I must try it though I am not so enthusiastic about it, I must say. This opinion about good bread in shops still holds true.

A few months ago I went to a bakery close to where I live (small chain with four or five stores in one city and seemingly no webpage(!)) and pretty much stopped buying break anywhere else... about ten times better than what is found in grocery stores.
Favorites include 'bydgoski'* (made from żyto czesane... what's that?) and szwajcarski (dark with raisins) and roasted potato bread and 'emilki' (very close to American 'dinner rolls' which I'd been jonesing for before I went there the first time)
Their sweet things are also good, sometimes very good but their breads are really amazing.
*it looks nothing like what you get in google for 'chleb bydgoski'... it's round and dark but not dense..
(dark with raisins)
Yes, those stuffings add new quality to bread. I like wholemeal with sunflower or pumpkin seeds. Also, plum bread is interesting.
But the best is craft bread which consists mostly of various seeds - it is so wonderfully al dente.

Yikes! I don't care much for any seed besides sesame seeds on baked goods....
sesame seeds
Not bad, I like them in sesame biscuits. But bread must offer some stronger resistance to my teeth so I need more and bigger seeds.
Polish bread is also chałka - it takes its origin from Jewish ritual bread called chala.

Manna from heaven.
Thank goodness for the Jews. If it weren't for their arrival in Poland, Poles would still be eating grass.
Anyway, here is a much better and more interesting origin story:
Poland's Daily Bread
Polish folk culture celebrates bread and grains in a very special manner. Its roots can be traced back to the old Slavic beliefs, which have become mixed with Christianity over the centuries.

It reminds me a lot of brioche. Quite sweet and not really for serving with soup.

While you reminded me of that cult film featuring an argument by the divorced couple about the sense of buying an adult kid some brioches for supper .
In Polish only
Nasty exchange:
x: Brioche? For supper? You probably have something wrong with your head!
y: With the ass!!
Nobody mentioned pumpernikel? I eat it regularly.

I feel sorry for you.
It actually looks like a solid meal.
The sausages on the left look like French merguez.
The sausages on the right look like what we call in Russia "hunter sausages".
Some salo, of course.
Some Russian Salad (Оливье).
Black bread.
Pawian is Russian!

Both are the kind of dried sausage called kabanos in Polish - they are thin or even thinner as you can see.
Some salo, of course.
Salo aka lard? It is no lard, but ham.
And two kinds of mayo salad.
Pawian is Russian!
A few years ago I would find it funny.
It is no lard, but ham
Sorry, looked like salo.
In general, your plate looks like a traditional Russian "zakuska" for a good vodka session.
What you are missing is some scallions and herring.

Kołacz or kolach is a kind of bread. I like the one with cottage cheese sweet filling. I already ate them as a child in communist times. When I am tired of regular bread suppers, I order tkolach from myself as a nice diversion.

Polish bread used to be good, now it's good enough but not that great. All because of GMO crops.

How does it affect the taste of bread?
Sometimes a colleague in one of my schools brings traditional country bread for everybody to try. It tastes delicious.
Do you suggest this bread could be even more delicious???

The best Polish bread you can buy comes from Chicago, duh!
Sorry, I don`t believe it coz you are a rightist and they always lie. :):):)

hmm. you are retarded and have paranoia at the same time, you ARE special.
I forgot to mention that Polish nationalists are the same liars as rightists. Sorry if I offended you with my forgetfulness, Iron, but I am old. :(:(:(:(

No problem you are even more special than I have thought. You are retarded, you suffer from paranoia and an early onset of dementia, All at the same time,. WOW.

Thank you for that appreciation of me. At last, after so many years............
The best Polish bread you can buy comes from Chicago
No, the best Polish bread you can buy comes from Chicago, but the best bread I can buy comes from Katowice.
Thank you for that appreciation of me
No problem, anything else you suffer from that I could add to the list?
I like the one with cottage cheese sweet filling.
I have only tried this once as I haven't seen it since. Absolutely delicious. Although I think it tastes more like a cake than bread.
not that great. All because of GMO crops.
I presume you mean Polish bread in the US. GMO crops are banned in Poland.
tastes more like a cake than bread.
The cheese filling like a cake, the rest like bread. :):):)
They come in different sizes. The biggest ones would cover my plate whole.
GMO crops are banned in Poland.
Yes, but some grain is still imported, also from Ukraine.
