smurf 38 | 1940 28 Jul 2011 / #1I know you can't get the above cheese in Poland, but what's a good substitute, I want to make a cheesecake....and no not a Polish one, as nice and all as sernik is I want to make something from home for a bit of a change

Wroclaw 44 | 5359 29 Jul 2011 / #7i think Philly cheese is available in Polish stores?chata polska sells it, but it's quite expensive for what it is.
PennBoy 76 | 2429 29 Jul 2011 / #8Is there a good substitute of Philadelphia Cheese in Poland?There really is no substitute for Philadelphia cream cheese ;)
beckski 12 | 1609 29 Jul 2011 / #9Even the substitutes made in the United States, lack the taste and consistency of genuine Philadelphia cream cheese.
pip 10 | 1658 29 Jul 2011 / #10you can definitely get it here. but it comes in a small pack and it is priced high. there are some good substitutes- I think Pianica (I think that is the name??) is a really good one.
scottie1113 6 | 896 29 Jul 2011 / #11100 meters from my flat in Gdansk is Hala Targowa. I can buy Philadelphia cream cheese exactly like what I bought in the US at a reasonable price. On toasted bread-bagels are hard to find-with salmon and onions, it makes a good Sunday morning breakfast.
mafketis 37 | 10789 29 Jul 2011 / #12quark is for sernik, for US style cheesecake you want something like this:
Foreigner4 12 | 1768 29 Jul 2011 / #13look at the ingredients on the back, compare philly cream cheese to what ever is right beside it and make your call. I made a cheese cake last week or so and went with the philly brand (1 pln more than the stuff beside it). I spent about 24pln on just the cream cheese.
