Polish Food Shop on Lordship Lane?

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

Has anyone noticed the Polish food shop on the same road as the Plough and Cafe (opposite the Kebab Shop) I just noticed it the other day! How long has it been there and does it actually do any business?

[Horsebox]

It's yet to open. I think they've only this week put the sign up.

[red devil]

Timing wise that must be the Polish food shop equivalent of Foxton's opening it's ED branch...

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

Thank you Horsebox, I'd go in there but never had polish food so I have no idea what food Poland is famous for!

[david_carnell]

Cabbage, potatoes, meat, dumplings, savoury pancakes, blood sausage.

Variations thereof.

It's all pretty tasty stuff but not the lightest food. Imagine what you'd want to eat in the depths of a Polish winter. It's not salad.

Errrr no, it does not sound like my kind of food....I prefer salad.

I take it we have a big Polish community in Dulwich then? I know we did when that Dulwich hotel was still standing but since it was knocked down, I presumed the Polish people moved on also.

[red devil]

I think he's been looking at his Kellogs Cornflakes box, you know the ones with the ingredients in 10 different languages...

[Mikecg]

Is Klingon on the Cornflakes packet now?

[red devil]

Only Norf of the river...

If needed.....

[Mikecg]

Nice one Macroban. at ?7.99 it's a steal, Manahkenknjhaar.

[carolyn]

don't forget peirogi! Poland's stuffed dumpling gift to the world. They come stuffed with cheese or mushrooms or cabbage or pork or chicken or just about any delicious filling really! then there's a the paczki, that delicious polish variation on the jelly donut.

when i was at university back in the states i lived in a part of Detroit that had a lot of Polish bakeries and cafes and it was wonderful

hopefully they'll have a bakery case as well as the standards :)

Here's a translation.

Polish shop. In our shop you will find a unique selection of traditional Polish, Czech and Slovak food and drinks at great prices.

We hope you enjoy shopping with us.

Thanks Jah, I have only one language, and I don't even think it is English.

[Jah Lush]

I speak seven languages and I can't say no in any of them.

Yeah we've got one in forest hill, stacked to the rafters with Borst, Vodka and rope soup.

Polish lagers are excellent, though you can seemingly pick up Tyskie and Zwyiek in most shops around ED these days but some of the more esoteric ones are worth seeking out - always worth checking the % on the side before you buy, some push the 8% mark....

[SeanMacGabhann]

Wise words penk wise words. I was caught out badly once by one of the uber lagers. . But the 5 ish per cent jobs are lovely

THERE IS A SIZABLE POLISH COMMUNITY IN EAST DULWICH WHO HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED FOR OVER 20 YEARS. MY HUBBY IS HALF POLISH - HIS FATHER CAME OVER HERE DURING THE WAR AND STAYED. MOST OF THE BOYS AT ST. JOSEPH'S SCHOOL DURING THE 1960S WERE OF POLISH ORIGIN.

POLISH FOOD IS SOLD IN VALS NEXT TO RED APPLES. WHAT WE NEED IS A POLISH DELI SELLING RYE AND CARRAWAY SEED BREAD, HERRINGS AND VARIOUS MEATS BY THE KILO AS MORE ECONOMICAL THAN PRE PACKED STUFF. GREAT PLACE TO GO FOR A HOLIDAY POLAND - ESPECIALLY THE TATRA MOUNTAINS.

[Horsebox]

Can you say that a little louder please, Pugwash?

[dbboy]

Whereabouts in Forest Hill is the one referred to by bigbadwolf?

[citizenED]

I'm actually pining a little for Amazing Grace.

[PeckhamRose]

dbboy, it's by the Forest Hill Tavern.
