Travel / Indian or Mexican food in Warsaw. [60]

I have tried some of the Mexican restaurants in Warsaw and I can assure you Tortilla Factory is the closest thing to Authentic Mexican food. I lived in Arizona and California for part of my life and have made countless trips to Mexico. I consider myself a connoisseur of Mexican food from both above and below the border. Tortilla factory definitely gets two thumbs up. I think the key is the freshly made tortillas made in-house. Prices are very reasonable in comparison to the other Mexi-joints in Warsaw. It is also a very popular place for locals and expats to mingle and get warmed up before hitting the town

Life / Doughnut [Pączki] Day... in Poland [70]

Paczki, the Polish donuts, are very popular. Traditionally eaten on Fat Thursday, (Tlusty Czwartek), New Year's celebrations, Birthday Parties, and special occasions. There are many recipes for paczki, fruit filled Polish pastry. Some call for cream, some for vodka or rum. The traditional most famous Polish Paczki are filled with home made rose bud marmalade, finished with delicate flavored icing,and are simply delicious, so light, full of aroma and flavor. Everyone agrees that you can not eat just one or even two! Fat Tuesday, is an excuse to eat as many Paczki as possible. Pick up a dozen or two of Paczki for your family and friends or for your office.

Food / OKOCIM PORTER BETTER THAN GUINNESS STOUT? [43]

Yeah--at 8.5% alcohol Black Boss better be good.!!!It's a Bottom-fermented Porter.
Very dark brown with a dense, mid-tan head; dates, liquorice, clove. toffee, chocolate and roast aroma; very sweet taste with cream. liquorice, dates and chocolate aromas; bitter finish with burnt, liquorice, black chocolate and coffee aromas.

Bags of dark malt and fruit, a fair bit of sweetness, finished off with enough burnt bitterness to justify the Porter monnicker. Very nice indeed. And for you style fascists - this is definitely a Porter and not some type of Doppelbock, as some of you may claim. (I'm playing the "emotional recognition" card .) If given this blind and asked if it was a strong Porter I would say yes. That's as much of a style definition as I need. What's it based on? Nothing but my own personal drinking experiences.

Food / Where can you buy a crockpot aka slow cooker, in Krakow? [38]

Opening the front door on a cold winter evening and being greeted by the inviting smells of beef stew or chicken noodle soup wafting from a slow cooker can be a diner's dream come true. But winter is not the only time a slow cooker is useful. In the summer, using this small electrical appliance can avoid introducing heat from a hot oven. At any time of year, a slow cooker can make life a little more convenient because by planning ahead, you save time later. And it takes less electricity to use a slow cooker rather than an oven.

Food / Do you still pressure-cooker to cook? [10]

Basically,they both do the same job except a person using a slow cooker has to be extremely organized. Meals have to be prepared in the morning before leaving for work, so the meals are cooked by the time they get home in the evening. Pressure cookers, on the other hand, can cook meals in minutes rather than hours allowing you to quickly prepare a meal in the evening after getting home from work. Unlike a slow cooker, there is no need to rush to prepare the evening meal before running out the door in the morning.

A pressure cooker can cook the same types of delicious recipes that a slow cooker can and so much more, but cook them substantially faster.

Food / Poland Spirytus recipes [39]

Lot better than chewing on walnuts and getting a piece of shell stuck in my throat!!!!!!

Food / Poland Spirytus recipes [39]

The easiest and the best for me is to dilute the spirytus 50/50 with spring water and the add some fruit juice to the mix.Easy and fast----and you change the flavour by making new batches with different types of juices.This still gives you a 40 % alcohol content for a great drink.

Food / Polish culinary dislikes [83]

Calf's headis is a delicacy in France. A British relative living in France raved about it so I ordered it in a restaurant. I was green until the waiter took it away. Basically, the fleshy bits of a calf's head, cooked for a long time and cut into squares, each consisting of a few strings of slimy meat and a 1cm thick layer of fat/gelatinous glop. The brain is served in the corner of the plate.yum-yum!!!!

Food / Polish culinary dislikes [83]

Try some bull testicles. Also called Prairie Oysters in Canada (Alberta). It is called "criadillas" in Spain but has different names in other Latin countries. The criadillas are the testicles of the pig. They are sliced first and then cooked with garlic and parsley, better if they are barbecued. If you don't know what you are eating, the taste is intense but in a nice and pleasant way.

Travel / Are there any African or Carribean restaurants in Warsaw? [15]

Closer to home, we buy cow's foot in a butcher shop, chop it up and cook it for hours & hours in water with spices, garlic, salt, pepper, etc. It is a good idea to evacuate the house during cooking time to avoid the overwhelming smell. Then pour this mess into a large flat pan and refrigerate. It sets to a nice translucent grey jelly with a layer of fat on top. Cut into large cubes and serve with lots of horseradish to kill the taste and lots of vinager.
