(!?)

You realise that statement is like going into East Dulwich Deli as an example of a typical English deli and concluding that English people 'dont eat much fresh produce, just lots of expensive things in jars' don't you?

I agree, it was a bit of a strange comment. A shop selling imported groceries will, almost by definition, mainly be selling food which is tinned, frozen, preserved, etc. There's plenty of other places for the Poles to buy fresh veg and meat.

I'll have to go & get some pierogis. Shame so many people are critical.

Do they sell rope soup?

What is ROPE Soup?

[bigbadwolf]

It's what those unfortuanate enough to find themselves in a Soviet labour camp have for their dinner. It's a piece of rope boiled in a cauldron of water. They get a pebble to suck on for afters if they're lucky.

Bigos is a relly good Polish dish. Lots of different regional variations but it bscially consists of lots of pork, 3 different types of salami (krakowska, kabanos and then usually a milder polish salami so take your pick), cabbage (obviously), onion, garlic, apples, cloves and paprika. Stew it all up basically and idally make it the day before then reheat for an hour. Lasts a while and gets better as the flavours soak in.

My grandparents would be proud...

[Michael Palaeologus]

Got a leaflet through the door today. I shall toddle up and have a go.

Do they do much Irish stuff?

[Louisa]

Apparantly they sell Irish produce that has been made to look Polish. Amazing.

I sold my 11 year old Alfa Romeo to a Polish guy recently. I'm going to open myself up as a Polish Shop, they'll buy anything.
