Yeah that's been about a while, though I know given the opportunity I would definitely feel disgusted with myself after I'd ordered it. This though, I don't think I could bring myself to trying it: http://consumerist.com/2010/06/friendlys-grilled-cheese-burger-melt-is-coming-for-your-arteries.html

Obviously the mountain sandwiches are worse, but they're just for publicity. :pac:

I'm curious now, any good polish restaurants in Dublin city centre to eat?

yeah i wont even order another grilled cheese thickburger from hardees. I didnt even fathom there was such a thing as too much cheese: but the american cheese, the swiss cheese sauce, the butter, they all combine to make you feel completely gross.

The bread's the only thing that would put me off tbh. :pac: It's annoying watching online NASCAR streams put up by some guy in Nevada from his house and seeing the meals for 3.99 over there. I'm a fat **** now but I'd be dead in 5 years if I moved over there.

They have some nasty cheese in American places though. That squeezy cheese in Dennys is horrible. I really want one of those chicken sandwiches though.

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!

I never put vinegar on chips and I never put chips in sandwiches, though a lot of Irish people do o.0 I also don't make sandwiches with butter in them...disgusting :P

Gospoda Polska Polish restaurant
15 Capel Street,
Dublin 1
T: 01 8749394

Pierogi is gorgeous, not bland at all. Also, how anyone can call pork knuckle bland is beyond me. That said I dont like anything with pickled cabbage.

OP, randomly picking stuff up in a polish or any kind of shop is the wrong way to do it. Look up some recipes online, then put together a shopping list, and go and find the actual ingredients. If I went into to tesco and randomly picked things up for dinner I wouldnt be praising Irish cuisine either.

There's an older (babcia style:)) lady in the Moore St. mall who makes fresh pierogi. Divine.
How anyone can call Zurek bland is beyond me.

I think Gospoda Polska is under different management now and has changed its name.
Yummy Party Cake is still across the other side of Capel Street though.

The country with the worst food was Ireland 40 years ago. pigs cheek, pigs ear, trotter and overboiled cabbage.

Indian, lebanese are the best. and god bless the chineese for inventing tofu

Having spent time in both countries, traditional Polish food is of a different class than Irish food...(apart from the quality of our seafood)

OP you obviously have no idea what you bought or how to cook it. It's just ignorance on your part..

FYI lasagne, spag bol, sweet & sour chicken, burgers aren't traditional irish fare...

How tasty are crubeens, ox tongue and coddle to the general public??

--Kaiser--

I've eaten loads of home-cooked Polish meals and can say I much prefer them to most Irish food (except Irish breakfast, let's not go nuts)

_feedback_

I spend a bit of time in Poland with my polish girlfriend. I find it pretty hard to adapt to other foods - must have a strange stomach or something.

I don't like a lot of the food - but they have some great dishes - most have been mentioned already.

In fairness, picking up a load of processed food in a shop in Ireland isn't really experiencing it properly!

RE swans - a couple of polish lads killed a swan here a while back - ongoing joke since.

Think I'd just live on their yummy vodka for a week if I ever visited Poland...

I regularly buy "random" bits and pieces from a local Chinese/Japanese supermarket, but that doesn't mean I think their 50p packs of Ramen are in any way indicative of authentic home cooked Japanese cuisine...

and how would you go about cooking this pierogi, if one was inclined?

I strongly recommend buy pierogi and cooking it at home, rather than trying to make your own.

I tried to make my own once to impress my polish girlfriend, I ended up being covered in flour trying to fold the potato and cottage cheese mixture into far too small circles of pastry. It was a disaster.

If you buy them from here, the way I would do them is fry them in a frying pan. And to spice it up a bit, Dice an onion and 2 rashers, and fry them seperatly, and sprinkle them over the pierogi when serving. Divine!

Mmm, might have pierogi for dinner tonight Have some in the freezer.

In fairness I think you can say the same about most countries, especially when you only taste a small selection of there food:

America – Twinkies, everything seem’s to contain excessive sugar, extremely fatty food.
England – Gelled eels, steak and kidney pie, pork scratching's
France – Snails, Foie gras
Peru – deep fried guinea pig
Scotland – haggis, deep fried Mars bar (basically if it can be deep fried they’ll eat it)
And Ireland – black pudding (sausage made of BLOOD WTF!!), stew (or that horrible white stew made with flour)

…… point is you can say the same about any country, different country=different tastes.

To eat like?

Do you like all Irish food?

I gave a few recipes to polish girls and hungarian girls,for Irish food,and they loved it.They had tried to cook it without any advice previously and didnt enjoy.When cooking food from other nationalities,you should really ask someone from the country.How to cook it properly.Otherwise you will never enjoy it.

Kold

What the hell is wrong with stew? Bacon and cabbage is manky though.

Skuxx

I was in Poland last summer and I have to say their version of a whipped ice cream cone is amazing!! One of the nicest things I've ever eaten! Think it was called "lody" or something like that!

WTF is a random mood?

Had to laugh at the irony here.............................:rolleyes:

Been to well over 30 countries and tried plenty of different cuisines (including Wroslaw in Poland), and would have said some nice things about them all until I went to Korea two years back. Bloody awful stuff. I have never left a table hungrier than when I started the meal. To top it off I HAD to try the Rice Whiskey or else they would be deeply offended, on what was essentially an empty stomach. The Syrian gentleman at the table offended them before me as he was muslim and did not drink at all, something they could not understand.

Then when they came to me with two glasses (mine and Syrian guys) they made a big deal about me being Irish and how it was against my religion NOT to drink (I must say I took it well even though I was offended. Could barely finish my second glass so i couldn't )
