Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1450]

Rather like the kasza porridge

Really? From what I read the Russian one is with milk. There is no milk here...

Not sure what to make of that as there are different types of kasza.

Different recipes call for different types. If you want I can translate one or two recipes and post them?

Scrambled eggs and beer

What???

As to the beans- I don't eat English breakfast but on the past if my Mom made 'fasolka po bretońsku' I would eat it for every meal until it was gone.

Nachos that have the fried beans on them...Enchiladas...Burritos.

You make me hungry! But instead of tequila I will go for beer :)

the point isn't the looks but the taste

I know that, I'm Polish, it's enough to mention bigots and how it looks.

@Joker
Wow, looks yummy like hell :)
If you ever want to try kebab do it in Germany. Maybe Poland, definitely not UK :)

@Maf
Doesn't look too appetising...

Do you cook like this all the time?

Most of the time. If I can't cook in the week I cook more on weekend and freeze. Of course I also make some ready made fish fingers or from the jar sauce (I absolutely love Sainsbury's own brand Tikka Masala sauce)

Have you ever had authentic Mexican food?

Sadly no. The most popular foreign cuisine in UK is Indian. But I do like what passes on for Mexican food here and in Poland. It reminds me it's time to make some enchiladas

Is that Shepard Pie in your photos???

Yeah. Although as Jon pointed out it's not technically correct name. And thank you for your compliment. I like filling food. When I first heard of 'comfort food' this is the kind of food I imagined. Sheppard pie, fasolka po bretonsku, nice stew...Something that warms you up and fills you up...Mac and Cheese would never come to my mind. That reminded me...See you in the Polish food thread :P

Maybe but the frozen meals are so poor...Don't get me wrong, they are usually cheap so noone expects wonders but it's just bad Il

But I guess this is a topic for a different thread. But I would love to have such place here

We do then :)

What I find surprising is the lack of some take away home meals place in UK. Something between the frozen meals and restaurant.
In my hometown they had a place like that. Not too many dishes and not too fancy but healthy enough you could give it to kids without feeling bad.

Strange but somehow delicious

It does work but the difference of with and without is not that big imo.

I asked the cook for some ketchup and I thought he was going to have a heart attack

Can't blame him. I love ketchup but with fish and chips it's a crime!

You Brits and your gravy :P
Standard mielone. Taste the best with something slightly sour (kapusta kiszona, ogórki kiszone od buraczki) but sadly I don't have any so I opted for some steamed veggies.

Btw, is there a reason why it's almost impossible to get yellow wax beans in UK?

Some kids here have veg only floating in soup, as a bit of surowka

Which all counts towards the 5 a day so I have a problem seeing your point..

Language / Polish Language Exchange Thread [145]

The fact a female wrote to you in that way in no way implies it has anything to do with her being Polish or female.

Curry sauce, peas or gravy

Neither curry sauce (which I adore on fish and chips) nor gravy are veggies :) if anything they are making it more unhealthy. Convinces me to eat fish though.

Good kebab has lots of veggies and they are integral part

Parmo would go down well in Poland,

Never had it. Will have to google :)

I would think that some Bulgarian foods could be popular.

I generally think any cuisine could be a hit with a bit of luck

. I sure do, they're all tastier than greasy kebabs

Considering fish and chips are deep fried and usually served with no veggies I wouldn't be so sure.
