is now open.


Popped in there last night and bought some kabanos and some russian ravioli type tings, both pretty good but then I know very little about Eastern European produce apart from Pierogi dumplings.


I get the impression they are struggling for business though - the place doesn't look that enticing, due in most part to the harsh lighting which is a shame as they have a lot of interesting looking stuff for sale.


Anyone have any Polish food recommendations?

On the contrary, The Irish Shop is mostly loaded up with tat, I'd be surprised if they were still there this time next year - the Polish shop is full of things you can actually use to cook with.

I won't argue about the quality aspect - but that Irish shop has been around a long time lenk - don't see it going out of business any time soon. And I pop in regularly enough for my irish "needs"


Can't agree with Louisa's comment about service tho' (a nation is shocked!)


The service has often (not always) reminded me of why I left Ireland

lenk I think you will find the Irish shop has been around for nearly 15 years now and is still going pretty strong, so as a betting girl I would suggest that the Irish shop is more likely to stay around as an established business than one that has only just opened up.

I went into the Polish shop yesterday and purchased Polish vegetable juice, frozen dumplings and polish sausage . Was hoping they had some Rye bread with caraway (they sold this in sainsburys ages ago and some continental delis but I have not seen this around here for some time, ended up going to the Polish shops in streatham), but they only had sunflower and Rye. Interesting selection of herring and some dried fish.

No, it's an Irish shop. I don't need any Polish stuff.

I am polish and very happy that its finally open, and cant wait to go give them more business. There are many people i know here who dont mind to come with me to polish resturants from other countries. Whoever is open to new expierences and adventurous choices in polish food I recommend you to try :


- Kabanos (polish sausages)

- Ogorki kiszone (Gherkins/Large cucumbers in brine)

- Pierogi (dumplings-either with potato and cheese inside/sauerkraut and mushrooms/meat. Also sweet ones exist.

also very good to cook them and fry them with some onion slices till they turn crispy)

- Zubruwka -polish vodka made from bison grass (very good to mix with apple juice!)

- Sledzie -Herings (similar to rollmops but not always rolled-the best brand is Lisner)

- Jablko-wisna -Cherry and apple juice -from Tymbark

- Kubus -Carrot juice mixed with other fruits (either banana/orange/apple)

- Fasolka -Butter beans mixed with chopped sausage and tomato sauce- Brand name: Pudliszki Best served with bread

- Serek chrzanowy -Horse-radish cream cheese spread.


The List goes on, I will find out soon what the new polish shop has to offer but I do recommend anyone to try it.

Unless you ready to try it, and taste it- your criticism is irrelevent.

Strawberry Pierogi is great with cream

Yes, good luck with the new shop K. I see that the Polish specialities rely heavily on processed and preserved ingredients, meats and alcohol, is there much fresh produce eaten?

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By Sue · Posted

      If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?

      By theweekend · Posted

      I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.

      Charter East Dulwich school

      By McMurphy · Posted

      interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
