Life / Things we enjoyed as kids in Poland [140]

I remember they had this juice-type thing in a plastic bag, when we'd visit the sea (Bałtyk, Chałupy). I do remember the gum, but I'm not sure where we bought it. The Pewex didn't carry it, I don't think. The worst was probably "ciepłe lody" that my mom would bring home sometimes.

Even though I stood in those lines with my mom to get bread and sugar and butter, I remember those times fondly.

USA, Canada / Why are Polish restaurants not successful in the USA? [698]

I think most European food is less "interesting" than, say, Asian food. People are moving away from the meat/potatoes/cabbage diet. I know one restaurant here in the San Francisco area went out of business recently.
