An excellent joung cheese Światowid Liliput available bei "Biedronka" made in Łowicz is for me the best of the best. Better than any "western" cheese.

Whilst I have tasted some nice Polish cheeses I have never come across one that was anywhere near "Better than any western cheese".
I will look out for it in the UK but doubt if I will ever find it here.

I doubt it will be a trendsetter. Poland has some wonderful products but yellow cheese is not one of them. Almost without exception they are bland, tasteless and rubbery.

The Światowid range of cheeses is one of Biedronka's own label products ie it's produced for them, some in Poland and some elsewhere. They have an Irish cheddar, produced for them in Ireland, a red one and a mild yellow one. I used to get the red one and it was nice but they've stopped stocking it in my local Biedronka. First the red one disappeared and now they have none at all. Poles en masse tend to prefer the bland cheeses. I wouldn't consider cheddar a strong cheese but a real cheddar is too strong for average Polish tastes.

It may be true, but I like toast with melted cheddar red on top.

Is there such social desensitization in Poland that 14-year-old girls freeze in front of a store? The topic was discussed in another thread, but the problem of social desensitization remains. I remember another Poland. The current one seems to be more 'cool'. But it's cool in a negative sense.

I don't. As far as social desensitization is considered - it's the same.

Since yesterday, as part of introducing new trends from Poland, I placed fire extinguishers, one by the Christmas tree and the other by the 'Adventskranz'. It is not known what else they will be useful for.

Polish cities are considered increasingly attractive in Europe. One of the main arguments is the small number of visually different foreigners who are criminal, which is also visible in advertising photos. This suggests that other European cities are partially overloaded with criminal and culturally alien elements. Is this the reality? Privately, I am currently at the German seaside and it is as usual, white, and this year there are slightly fewer tourists. Too expensive? and uncertain weather?

I had to go to the local foreigners office because my residence card needs to be exchanged. It was the first time I'd been in 10 years.... and the change....

I remember when the foreigners' affairs section was two windows usually without much in the way of a line. Ten years ago it was a single room (maybe 40ish square meters).

Now it's three times the size and chock full of people. Mostly the usual suspects (lots of russian/Ukrainian sounds) but also a lot from South and/or East Asia and some Africans as well.

And you can't walk around the downtown area for three minutes before seeing visually distinct people and/or hearing Ukraine accented russian or Polish (irony of russian's invasion is that by destroying Eastern Ukraine russia has done the work of Ukrainian nationalists by convincing russian speaking Ukrainians to go elsewhere).

Poland's saving grace (so far) is that these are almost all people with jobs (or studying or a combination of both). The Polish welfare state is not nearly well-developed enough to be tempting to resource seekers who want to be supported while not working (most of the suckers on the Belarusan border and most of the boat people in the Mediterranean).

visually distinct people

I remember one conversation with my distant neighbor from our estate during the first invasion of Germany by refugees in 2015. When we met for a walk, he told me that he no longer goes on holiday inside Germany because of the large number of ausländer/ foreigner . When I asked where he was going, he replied - to the Czech Republic. I wanted to tell him that there were only foreigners there, namely Czechs, but I bit my tongue and didn't say anything, I just nodded my head in understanding. I must admit that I still have to laugh at this conversation, and my neighbor... well, he probably still vote for his AfD. 🙀

Ha, ha - I remember a couple of years ago in Jelenia Góra I spoke to a Swedish family who told me that Poland is such a beautiful and safe country because there are virtually no foreigners here. I had to bite my tongue a couple of times too because they were nice people. Having said that, I think that those Swedes realised that their country has masterfully f*cked itself up themselves, without me stating the obvious. ;)

Let's talk about other trendsetters from Poland. Poland has officially overtaken China as Germany's largest trading partner, or more specifically, Germany sells more goods to small Poland than to big China. As a curiosity I will add that Germany sells most of its goods to whom? Well, the USA, of course.

Germany sells more goods to small Poland t

The other way around is even more pronounced. Polish exports to Germany account for as much as 30% of Polish exports and are worth €100 billion.

The most expensive beer I've just seen in Lidl is Tyskie from Poland. Even Bitburger or Tuborg were cheaper. Well done Tyskie.

Has everyone in Poland also gone crazy about chocolate from Dubai like in Germany? In Germany, 100 grams costs about €10, and this is just regular chocolate filled with pistachios. In the meantime, Aldi, Lidl and Lindt are selling fakes of this chocolate.

I got some cheaply in Turkey a week or so ago for a friend's daughter. There are nicer variants in the MENA region which has a lot of fancy chocolate.

I just saw it with my own eyes. On Thursday I was in Kaufland in Świnoujście and saw an entire shelf filled with Dubai Chocolate. Price around PLN 40. I wonder if anyone still buys it.

I heard and read about the chocolate but have never seen it live cos I don`t visit the stores you mentioned.

I know that people smuggle it even in larger quantities from abroad, where this chocolate is cheaper.

Yesterday I ate it for the first time, this Dubai Chocolate. But let's focus on something current. Eggs. Poland would love to sell more eggs to America, the problem is that eggs in America are washed and waxed before they're sold. Why the hell, I ask myself. There's nothing like good, natural European eggs from happy, free-range hens.

@ Alien

Are you sure all of the millions of hens are free-range? And where are the chicken farms located? I ask because I doubt there are thousands of hectares of chicken farms in Poland. Then what have you got against washed eggs, or are you just an admirer of chicken sh*t? Most likely, Europeans are enforcing one of their so-called rules, which states that no clean eggs can be sold in any European country. besides, America is trying to sell left-handed eggs in Europe; what a travesty,only right-handed eggs European stomach can digest with chicken sh*t of course. In this case, tariffs are unnecessary; rules are sufficient to stop Americans cold.

Are you sure

Since 2012, keeping chickens in cages has been banned in the EU. By the end of 2025, even extra-large cages with outdoor access will be prohibited.

It's long overdue. Poland alone kills a billion chickens a year. The basic requirement is that they be unconscious at the time of killing. Painless killing.
