They have a few different varieties of Cheetos and a good choice of different crisps we wouldn't be familiar with.

The chocolate's good too.
That's all I've bought from there.

The dumplings with cheese and potato are very nice fried in a pan and served with tomato ketchup and a beer.

Also some of the sausages are great on the Barbie, and they also sell nice wafery chocolate bars and Cheetos crisps which are not widely sold in Ireland.

Mr Sheen and some good cloths I guess...

Dont you have your own question thread?

(Is that how this works?)

lawlolawl

One near me does fresh donuts with an obscene amount of cream filling and sugar coating.

No sure if that's uniquely Polish though.

osarusan

Some of the breads are very good.

The smoked ham is lush

Shenshen

Frozen wild mushrooms (actually wild mushrooms, not just brown button mushrooms), twaróg, pickled summer squashes, not to mention duplo and hanuta!

suicide_circus

crab juice and kalkalash

no seriously, they do these smoked lumps of pork belly, slice that bad boy and fry, serve with a creamy mash potatoe

they're called shops, not stores, not unless you're an American or a frontier cowboy.

Magda behind the deli counter, smells like the smoked ham but she is a stunner!!

Sklep! The one word of Polish I will always remember

Try some Kvass if they sell it, chocolate is also good.

Can't get enough of that apple and mint Tymbark drink, very refreshing stuff.

I make a point of going to Lituanica in Sligo on my once-or-twice-a-month shopping trips into town. Things I frequently buy:

- Proper egg noodles for Eastern European chicken soup
- Celery root
- Smoked sausage that is like the Hungarian/Czech kind I am used to
- Dry sausages
- Pickled herring
- Fresh sauerkraut (not the stuff in a jar)
- Polish pate
- Balkan bread
- Russian sardines
- Pickles. So many pickles. Especially the spicy ones that are not too sour.
- Vegetable seasoning (like Vegeta)
- Different kinds of flour
- Dried beans
- Spirit vinegar
- Wrapped sweets for the Christmas tree (a Hungarian tradition from my childhood)
- Smietana (a high-fat creme fraiche for which there is no substitute in certain recipes)
- Cherry preserves
- Dry curd cheese
- Polish buttermilk
- Lecso (Hungarian peppers and onions in tomato sauce, many uses in Eastern European, French, Spanish, and Tex-Mex cooking)
- Dried spices
- Cold-smoked pork loin

Well, that's all I can think of from the top of my head. Of course my father is from Hungary, and my mother is of Belarusian descent. And I have a Romanian foodie friend. And the Czech and Polish style smoked sausages are very popular in south central Texas where I used to live before I moved here.

Lovely chocolate in the one in Roxboro shopping centre in Limerick as well as decent fruit.

I half live on those things when I'm trying to get to "very low carb" in the diet.

So meat with added meat.

Basically

1.3 kilo of meat or more per kilo of sausage, because they're a semi-dried product.

They had the cruncho-type ones in the Polish shop in Tallaght.
Now, it's been about a month since I was there so I don't know if they'd still be available.
It's the shop right across from Smyth's Toystore, just adjacent to the Abberley Hotel.

Can't remember. They had Flamin' Hot. And another flavour I don't remember ever seeing before.

Try the deep fried swan, it's decent.

darkpagandeath

You have not lived unless you tried the Cheese filled hot dogs. All the cold meat is also very very nice and cheap to boot. Love the yogurts. Twisty cheetos. Could go on. Main point is the cost saving.

We have neither around here. Until a couple of drugstores opened, we only had the mercantile.

20 Marlboro lights for 6.50 in my local one. Was buying the different hams for 6 months before I was accepted into the fag purchasing bit! Some of the sausages are tip top too.

Would they get fired for speaking Polish? :P
