I'm interested to know what people from the UK living in Poland or Polish people who lived in the UK and now live back in Poland miss the most.
I'm talking about things you can't buy in the shops over here, for instance a good selection of English books or malt vinegar etc etc
If people could help me by listing the ten things they miss most it would be really helpful and might also make an interesting thread!!!
These days there aren’t many things which can’t be found in Poland. And there tend to be very good reasons why the things which can’t be found can not be found.
The major problem is going to be getting frozen goods to Poland. Refrigerated trucks don’t come cheap and doing internet/mail order frozen foods will be a real challenge.
Personally the only things I really miss which could be sold here are Sure original aerosols, Maclean’s toothpaste and Walker’s prawn cocktail crisps. Everything else is available (although at rather high prices). The rest of the stuff (proper bacon, ready-prepared meals, Tropicana orange juice) would be too tricky to transport really. Although the stuff from Look What We Found would be easy to transport and I’d love to have more of it.
1) Certain types of crisps
Which ones? Even Salt and vinegar Pringles are now available in Poland (or at least in Warsaw)
2) Irn-Bru (Doda didn't manage to get it exported here :()
Have you contacted Kuchnia Swiata and asked them about it?
6) Curry
Patience. Curry will come. It’s hit Warsaw and the stuff here is now better than what I can get back in UK.
8) A broad range of international beers
Been to Bomi or Piotr i Pawel? Both have a good range of international beer. Alternatively you can contact John King Polska: they import more than 100 types of beer and will sell you a crate at a time.
9) Colmans mustard (though Polish ones are ok, esp the Roleski copy)
Colman’s mustard is available at Kuchnia Swiata.
