    I went into a polish shop the other day and i was in a random mood so i bought loads off food and drink and it tasted like **** ! Hopefully nobody will call me racist or anything what i want to know is 1) Do they feel the same way about our food,and 2) What country eats the worst food ?

    Well swan is a complicated dish to cook- did you grill it?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 373 ✭✭The Express


    Judging by the fit bodies of Polish women, I'd say there's nowt wrong with a bit of sardine flavoured cabbage or whatever it is they eat.

    Irish women, put down your frozen ready meal and take note :D

    More racism. just coz their food ain't nice doesn't mean they're bad people.

    Agreed why compare the fitness of Irish women's bodies to that of Poles?


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,659 ✭✭✭unknown13


    Did you honestly expect to go into a Polish shop and come out with something you really liked. Different country, different tastes.


  • Registered Users Posts: 625 ✭✭✭yermanoffthetv


    OP could you be more specific what you bought? Most countries have their own particular tastes. For example Ive eaten a salty kind of liqourice from Sweden before and thought it was awful yet a friend of mine was going nuts over it because he used to eat it as a kid. "worst food" is subjective, Its what your used to I guess.

    No, just on plates.

    Is it some sort of cannibal dish?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,494 ✭✭✭citizen_p


    i couldnt knock it when i was there....was in touristy spots though, so all the swans were already gone.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,184 ✭✭✭storm2811


    Agreed,it's nasty,especially the meat.

    Apart from the mayonnaise,it's actually really nice and this kind of seasoning thing,don't know what it is but I put it on loads of stuff.

    You can't beat a breakfast roll, beats their swan and rollmop, or whatever its called, any day.

    polish biscuits, ice creams and drinks are ****ed up too

    there's this grappa **** that's all sorts of bright colours, blue, purple... it just tastes so ****ed up but somehow you'll keep drinking a glass of it every now and again


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,965 ✭✭✭✭Kintarō Hattori


    There's lots of sh*t food everywhere. What we find delightful folk from other countries don't like at all, different regions are raised with different palettes.

    In Ireland for example we have way too much sugar in most of our foods whereas on continental Europe they prefer lots of salt!


    As bizarre as it may seem folk from Eastern Europe find vinegar on chips absolutely awful and have no idea why we like it so much. It's also the same in regards to chips in sandwiches- they just don't understand why!

    No they don't. It's a silly stereotype that was stirred up when Polish immigrants came to Ireland and the UK a few years back.

    They eat Dog in the Far East, so it is possible.

    Have you seen the amount of snow and ice they get? FFS, they have to salt and grit everything, to stop the bastiding things from sliding all around the place!

    OP, you're not "random."

    You bought something different, are not accustomed to it, so of course it tastes different. Christ, if I buy menthol cigarettes, instead of my normal B&H, is that random? No.

    Seriously though, have you looked at Irish "cuisine"? Stew. To be honest, its boiled to within an inch of evaporation, and slopped onto your plate. I only eat it occasionally, I think its a bit bleh. Although for some reason, it DOES taste better a day or 2 after it has been cooked. Ya'know, just before it goes off, and give you food poisoning.

    Coddle? No thanks.
    And a friend just loves his sausage casserole. No idea if this is actually an Irish invention, but ick.

    Oh and Billyface ham(and I use that description loosely) YUCK! Actually, that goes for all processed meat roll things.

    I've been to Poland a few times and have to say I though the food was very good. But perhaps it was because I knew some locals who advised me on where to go and what to eat. At least they have a cuisine, which is more than we have. :(
    Though I have tried a couple of processed things in some of their shops here and granted they are pretty much muck


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,745 ✭✭✭laugh


    No they don't. It's a silly stereotype that was stirred up when Polish immigrants came to Ireland and the UK a few years back.

    .... and started to kill and eat swans?


  • Registered Users Posts: 168 ✭✭php-fox


    Yeah, give us a plate of good old chips and add some ketchup so they won't be as tastless and oily.
