Which foods are generally disliked/unpopular in Poland? Which non-Polish foods are slowly gaining popularity?

Actually I don`t need to know how to cook it. It was enough for me to look at a piece of mutton with that yellow fat and smell it to feel disgusted. :):)

Which is strange coz I like strong smells and tastes, e.g., goat milk or cheese are delicacies for me. But mutton - bweee.

I guess if you are not used to it then lamb does have quite a strong flavour.
But not as much as venison, which I hate.
Do you like venison?

Have you tried farmed venison? Very different to game venison, much milder in flavour.

I assumed the venison available in supermarkets was farmed.
So, no, I don't know which I have eaten.........

But it seems you use mutton and lamb interchangably, while I only object to mutton coz I had lamb a few times and it was OK.

Venison which I had was OK coz it was processed - I mean deer or wild boar sausage. As for raw meat, I ate one as a young man which was a long time ago so I don`t remember now. That meat is available here but I don`t fancy buying and eating it. I am put off by potential parasites in it.

They obviously have a similar flavour but mutton is stronger.
I prefer lamb.

I've had it a time or two in the US (cousins in the country who hunted).... it pretty much tasted like lean beef.... buffalo also tasted like beef....

I miss nutria... there used to be a store that sold nutria thighs just around the corner but the building was torn down to build apartments... there are a couple of places in town that have it but they're not close.

Nutria tastes a bit like very light, lean beef (imagine beef as a light meat...) very tender.

How did they check it for parasites?


You mentioned it before but I didn`t know it was sold in shops, I thought it was some private source, an individual grower. Amazing - never heard of eating nutria coz they are kept basically for their skins.

hmmmmm how to put this..... (dadburn city folk!)

You mean they don`t check it? Perhaps they believe hot temperature during cooking kills all eggs.

They were cattle ranchers so I gave them credit for knowing how to handle meat....

A lot of people reject tatar - raw minced beef dish.

While I love it and make it once a month. Be careful to use the meat which you have frozen for a few days to kill all parasites it it!!!

My comfort food - when I feel down, I eat tatar:

What can we see here?
raw minced beef
yolk
chopped onion
chopped pickled cucumber
sardines
pickled noble mushrooms
spices: oregano, pepper, ginger, curry
olive oil
soya sauce

Disgusting.......

@Miloslaw

Wow finally Milo and I can agree about something.

I forgot to list buns or white bread. Normally I eat brown bread but it is too savoury and overshadows the taste of tatar so I turn to white one.


Now I can reveal it : I use the tatar dish to distinguish between tough people and sissies. hahaha

The beginning: (hey, hunters, don`t haunt me for eating this piece of meat, it wasn`t me who killed the supplier of it)

I love it two (though anymore I just buy the pre-packeaged type). I also always make sure to have vodka with it (disinfectant) and I use.... mayonaise rather than raw egg.... (heresy I know....)

Yuk!

I did only once when I was truly desperate and then stopped after reading the long list of all additives. :):)


I can`t drink vodka to a dish. Only solo when my wife`s uncle visits us. :):)


Heresies are welcome in accordance with individual preferences. E.g, I use powdered ginger and curry coz I like their flavour.
