What kind of American food do Poles like most?

They should build a White Castle over there. LOL


I never eat fast food when I can get homemade everything.

Poles love Mexican food. They are always at the Taco Burrito King. I ordered a burrito at the shambles in York, UK. It was horrible and I threw it out then bought some fish n chips. I knew the burrito was going to be revolting but had to see how bad it was out of curiosity.

The worst fast food I ever had from a chain was at Taco Bell. Just mush.

There's an American fast food chain that I used to go to in Dubai called Hardee's. That was quite fun and I went a few times.

Is Wendy's American? There used to be some in the UK, with square burgers. And a good salad bar.

We call it Taco Smell as they use very low grade cheap meats and cheese so they can keep their costs low for the welfare people.

After you eat there your guts will start gurgling causing serious gas so be sure you are close to a restroom after eating there.
The toxic taste enhancers that they use make their food taste great though.
Hardee's, another cheap chain restaurant isn't bad and have a great biscuits sausage and gravy breakfast for less than a zloty.
Wendy's is another cheap hamburger chain restaurant that boast of always fresh meat that has never been frozen.
Probably the best ground beef of any chain restaurant.
I don't eat bread (burger buns) so I have their chili.
The step up from those cheap eats is the chain restaurants like Applebee's (combination of everything), Red Lobster (fish and sea food), and Olive Garden (pasta's)

These are of much higher quality foods and actually doable with prices about 4-5 zloty.
My favorite is Olive Garden where they have an all you can eat homemade soup and fresh salads for about 3 zloty.


I am with you as for what it costs two people at a restaurant for the food, the tax on the food and the 20% to 25% tip on the total bill you can buy a whole sack of groceries to make three delicious meals at home.

The negative is you have to stand in line at the restaurants but have to do the dishes at home. :-)

lolol Yeah,since you remind me,that will be our dinner tonight.I still remember 25c burgers in the 80s and I could gobble 8 of em,now they are over a buck fifty.


I still like there Chalupas,hard and soft tacos with there hot sauce.LOL remember there ad "Drop the Chalupa"youtube.com/watch?v=TwtHbRBYbIE.


Average food,except there cheese steaks are on a round roll,lol still better then "Aioli" restaurants in Warsaw cheese steak that has chunks of meat with fu.cking curry sauce,lol more like bombay cheese steak.

Subway,the most fu.cked up franchise and food in Poland,they freaking charged me xtra for toppings like onion,tomatoes etc.This time I saw them on the airport in Warsaw with not a single customer.New Yorkers love it esp in the Bronx or Harlem where there are lines.

That's not a word I would use to describe chicken wings lol


Me too, but then I don't much like fast food anyway. The problem is that I think most people when thinking of American food just think of fast food and little else. I really like Cajun/Creole food but I don't see it much over here.


Less than 23 cents, I don't think so.

Thank you for correcting me as I figured that backwards.
Bisquits with sausage gravy is $3.60 the last time I was there.


That is because Subway is the cheapest franchise there is to buy and own.
The problem is that you are required to use all Subway products plus what hours you are required to be open and have your orders in on time or get written up and eventually lose your franchise.

You are required to do an inventory on products you sold every day down to how many cookies you sold, how much lettuce you used, how many pickles you used and on and on.

They are a huge pain in the ass with many closing down here in the U.S.
Again, I don't eat their big bread bun so I only get their salads which are aways very fresh.
Here in the States they will give you all the vegetables you want for free on your sandwich.
It is a real hoot to watch people say, more peppers, more cheese, more tomato's, more more more until they can't even close their sandwich. LOL

In essence they get a free salad to go with their sandwich.

16 zloty

LOL buggers sell you equipment worth hundreds of thousands,and if the store fails you are on your own lol.
I learnt my lesson when I owned 7/11 franchise,you are just a fu.cking high priced manager and work like a dog thinking you own the store lol.They took it back from me after 22 months cuz when I realized that I stole the money and made a deal,they dont sue me and I dont sue em and i surrender the store,Fu,cking Southland Corp.

In Poland its the same like Zabka,except Zabka learnt from other franchises and adopted strict measures.

You will never see a Mexican eating at Taco Bell.... That says it all.


Fart Castle.. Within 20 mins you're blasting them out.


You can sit down in a family restaurant and have a much better meal for only a few dollars more. We have every nationality and any type of food you want. I know of a little

restaurant with Babcias cooking. Its still under $20.


I always eat whole wheat unless I have some Polish Rye for my grilled cheese sandwiches

I always wonder how fresh their stuff is, especially the tuna and the meatballs.

Lots in Poland and the UK, most of them permanently empty of customers.


I've been there too, also in the Gulf. Certainly in Qatar, maybe in Dubai too. It was OK, a bit like TGI Friday's.

The best American fast food I've had was in New York. Not a chain, but New York type pizzas. Really good. Sold in big squares.


A weird business model, a bit like a pyramid scheme.

In the UK, I like Indian food. In my city there's one of the best Indian restaurants in Northern England (according to online reviews, genuine ones). Down a backstreet and with normal prices but full every night and you always need to book; it was even full midweek last week, two nights after St Valentine's Day when all other restaurants are empty. I've never really had a good Indian meal in Poland though. Maharajah was the best however I don't think it's there now. The others are all rip-offs, taking advantage of the fact that Poles aren't used to the food. The pakora and bhajis in Warsaw are so bad they're almost funny and the sauces are all the same, no matter what you order. I do those at home, and bonda balls too, just to taste chilli and spices.

There used to be an American fast food chain in Warsaw called King Pie. I liked it but it didn't do very well. Probably because pies are an alien concept and because in Polish, the word pies suggests something else, not usually considered edible unless you're Korean.

Hahahahaha!

Not for people who know the business.Its a cheap franchise one can own from 10.20k pln for a new store (unlike 7/11 which use to cost over 500k years back),people do make 5k pln to 30k pln,hard work esp for Ukranians.Zabka is still learning business though like finally the fu.ckers stop covering the windows and have transparent windows so people can see in and come in.I wonder if you have noticed finally they fu.cking started carrying junk food then those ole Polish stores had racks full of grocery.Crying out loud its a convenience store not a grocery store.A small section of groceries is fine then the whole rack.


As much as I hate homos I have to agree with you,just order 3 dishes with curry and 2 have the same curry lol.Pakis are the best cooks for meat dishes,Indians suk at that lol.BTW I dont know WTF is bonda balls?I googled but never saw or ate em.LOL I do only like 1 Indian restaurant that is "Guru" on widok only because it sells beef curry/seekh kebabs lolol but they have no fu.cking tap beer.

There is no good ethnic food in Poland except Polish & now Ukrainian food maybe Vietnamese food,but only at the places they cater to Viets like heenka market.

Hey still dressing up to go to the bar across Guru lol:))))

It's about how they pay related to turnover.


That's how it is.


Potato with fresh chilli and garam masala, dipped in a similar batter to pakora and deep fried. In Bradford (most people from north Punjab) they make them like patties.


Doesn't everyone dress up to go out? Especially in Poland.

"people do make 5k pln to 30k pln,hard work esp for Ukranians."

who makes this the ukrainian franchise owners or workers per month?

Owners lol workers can too if they steal,2/3 packs of ciggs and cpl btls of alcohol lolAnd dont worry about the cameras they are just to scare,no franchisee has time to watch.The franchisee only finds out when Zabka does inventory and usually it comes out short and thats when the franchisee cries saying Zabka is a thief.Its the same story of 7/11 in the States.

Btw cameras are only watched after a violent crime is committed,or someone suspects someone stealing.

They used to be real popular until Jersey Mikes came along:) What about jimmy johns are they there yet.


My friend put a bottle of MD 20/20 into the slurpee machine back in the 90s. He forgot to empty it and all these kids kept coming back. lol

Nah, depends on the company, bigger ones, of which you have little,or no experience, watch constantly....... Not nice.

I went to New Orleans a few years ago and they had the best Jambalaya Ive ever tasted. You cant find anything like it in Chicago thats for sure.

Crawdads and Shrimp too!

Try some Grouper next time you're by the Gulf of Mexico, you wont be sorry.

I would love to go to New Orleans if only for the food! My guess is that outside the southern states, getting something authentic is going to be difficult, even in other parts of the US. I've only ever been to a couple of Cajun/Creole restaurants, and one of those was in Dublin of all places! I started cooking it myself after I was given a cookbook written by a Scottish chef who had spent extensive time in the American south. Some ingredients are harder to get over here though.

I guess if this type of food is popular with Poles it's going to be those in the US rather than anywhere else.

It cant be duplicated anywhere else, it never tastes the same. Try some biscuits and gravy down there or fried chicken, hush puppies, sweet tea and of course BBQ!!

I dont think they have BBQ sauce in Poland?


That is strange. I'm sure it was good. Ive been to Ireland and the breakfast was huge food particularly the sausages, it had me full to mid day. Then its potato time! lol


Every Pole I've met loves all the different nationality's of food we have here in chicago. If you walk into a Mexican or Italian resturant chances are there will be a bunch of Polocks inside. Its my favorite as well.
