Poles prefer pizza & kebab?

Just out of curiosity on this I popped on Just Eat for my area (close to a large city centre in the UK). While there are 11 fish & chip shops, there are 28 Chinese restaurants and 55 Indian. For the sake of staying on topic, there are also 12 Kebab shops. While there is no doubt there will be some crossover (some Indian places will sell kebabs, some kebab shops will sell fish & chips) the numbers themselves tell the story that the humble chippy isn't as popular in the UK as it once was.

In saying that, last time I was in Kraków I noticed that a lot of kebab shops had changed to "noodle and rice bars" and it seemed every new fast food place to open was a gourmet burger joint...so maybe the popularity of kebab shops is waning too. That is just from the one most recent trip, and I don't have numbers to back it up, but I would be interested to see if the numbers of kebab places are falling.

Yes-that's what I was telling Wulkan. Irritating when someone thinks they know better than someone who lives in the country being discussed.

As you say, there is a certain amount of crossover so Chinese takeaways may also sell chips and kebab shops too but fish and chip shops are not as popular as some might think

Agreed. They're not cheap, the tastes of people who can afford to get fidh and chips for the family have changes, people are more health conscious and the poorest among us can't afford it.

I like fish and chips still, others may want a chicken tikka masala or a beef and black bean.

The chippy near my home in the UK serves an area with a very large Polish and Baltic population. I've never seen any Poles in there. In the pizza shop across the road, there's a sign in Polish.

But they sell fish and chips and that's the point so if kebab shop in Poland sells pizza too it's no longer a kebab? I don't care that the only chip shop is a chip shop in your dictionary is the one that is run by white English with twice as big prices and if it's Bangladeshi it's not, you must be racist too :-/


I live in England 15 years and my mrs is English and she disagrees with every BS statement you have made here
