What Polish foods and brands do you miss when you go to other countries?

However you got the idea that eel pie exists is beyond me. It doesn't. Nor does the firm you cited deliver eel pie. Can't deliver what doesn't exist.

The firm you linked to is not a traditional pie and mash shop, for one. It's a startup by some woman from Felixstowe.

They do deliver jellied eel, MEAT pies and mashed potatoes by special (refrigerated) culinary courier fresh to your door on certain days of the week, but they don't ship them by mail.

Your reading comprehension could do with some work.

Evidently many things are beyond you. I've eaten Eel Pie. It is a traditional dish. And provided a link to a recipe; one of many.


Looks like you didn't read much of the link. They make and sell Eel Pies. £7.95 each...


Looks like you didn't (or are pretending not to) notice that there are two links. One is to a company on the coast that deliver Eel Pies. The other is to a very traditional (perhaps the best known) London Pie and Mash Shop. They sell jellied eels (you falsely claimed this was impossible) and stewed eels by mail order (no ships involved!) to any UK post code.

I'm happy to link to any number of companies that do much the same, however the thread is about Polish foods rather than your attempts to argue about another countries traditional cuisine (of which your knowledge is self-evidently lacking).

Your reading comprehension is non-existent.

Same here; I can't abide that either. Reminded me of pressed tongue sandwiches, a bad childhood memory.

I was once served some barszcz biały with small tube like bits of offal in it. I forget what they were, however I'll never knowingly eat them again. About eating brain, I've had brain curry (in Bradford) and wasn't impressed, though that was maybe more about the appearance than the taste, which was bland.

The same with salcesonik here in PL; probably an acquired taste...

Then it means sb didn`t cook them properly. I have them a few times a year - when boiled long enough, they are delicate and soft like golonka. I either have them for big dinners or slice onto a sandwich. The tissue in them is regular meat, just take a look:

It was the.... shape more than anything. As I said the taste was fine, but I really have to chop it up into very small pieces (no matter how tender) to enjoy it.

I can`t believe sb served whole tongues in the canteen. It is not the Polish way of cooking them. Normally, they look like thick steaks on the plate.

I just made myself an old style 'Polish' pizza ( I meant around 2000- 2015) with mushroom, ham, onion, red pepper, corn and egg. It was absolutely delicious 😋

Can't count on Poland with that anymore as pizza moved to fancier stuff like pear and sunflower seeds

OMG.

Mouth watering...

We would really get along if only you weren't Russian 😜

I don't mind getting along with you, so... this is fully a "you" problem.

Sometimes they have rocket (rukola, arugula) on top in Warsaw.


I can pass on the egg but the rest is making my mouth water.

Usually I use cheddar rather than mozzarella or a mix of both to give them a bit of kick.

... corn on pizza? what fresh hell is this? I love corn in some forms, but on pizza?

I'm a pepperoni, mushroom, green pepepr, onion and anchovy kind of guy (though among modern pizzas tuna and capers aren't bad)

Same except I'd always add capers and can leave the mushroom.

Sweetcorn's OK on a pizza too, though I'd not use
It at home.

I would definitely miss smoked eel, the greatest fish delicacy of all to me. It isn`t appreciated in the UK and unknown in America.

BTW, it is probably the most expensive fish available in regular stores here - about 120 PLN per kilo. Last week i bought 2 small pieces and they cost me 27.

Very greasy and have a very strong smell.
Very chewy tough too.
We use them for bait in the U.S.A.

Exactly!!! That`s what I love it for! Ha!


You spoil excellent eel for nothing??? No wonder America is going to the dogs fast....... Za duże dupy Wam urosły.

I could go for that. I like olives on pizza too.


Me too. I like egg but not sure I'd want it on pizza.


I've tried eel but not smoked. Once was enough, it was vile.

Delicatessen. :)::)

I knew I was forgetting something!

In my university town there was a deep dish pizza place that broccoli on pizza which was surprisingly good (and one of their biggest sellers).


I've had eel sushi in the US but I've never had eel in Poland.... once during a road trip to the north (destination was Kościerzyna) there were people standing by the road holding up smoked eels and I was curious but I wasn't driving and no one else wanted to stop....

Quite common in Poland I would say.

I've never seen that over here. As with the egg, I like broccoli but can't imagine it on pizza.

Me too however where I am right now I see olives every day and am olived up.


I would happily ban broccoli. Brussels sprouts too.

Are you in the olive grove?

In southern Poland where we live it is unknown. Smells too much, like boiled cauliflower which puts many people off. If they used broccoli in the bars /restaurants where we order pizza, I would certainly look for another one. I want to enjoy Italian odours, e.g, of burnt pepperoni sausage. hahahaha


Yummy!!!

Here is what I am going to do with them! Yummy!!!

PS. Make sure you worm the eel before serving. The fat in it liquifies and you can sort of drink it from the meat/skin. Amasing!!!!!

hahahaha warm aka heat, I meant of course. It is really amasing I make such silly spelling mistakes like Poloniusz or another forum azhole. Me, teacher???? Tfu, kanalia!! hahahahaha

But they like worms... while they're alive.

Exactly! Eel grows its meat aka flesh on bugs. That is why the fish is so delicious.

Eel is disgusting, my dad loved it especially when he took me to London's East End where I tried it, I was nearly sick......

You are a culinary pussy, simple. :):):)
