foods worth trying from the euro/polish shops?
Discussion
Great thread idea Steveo.
My missus is Polish so I get spoilt with these things all the time, even had last Christmas there - most I've ever eaten!
As has been mentioned Pierogi ruskie are great, buy them. Buy the pre cooked ones, fry them till a little brown. Whilst doing this fry some bacon and onion seperatley. Serve them together - mmmmmmm
Also, this ketchup is way better than our ketchup;

I've been eyeing up pierogi for a while now but wasn't really sure what to do with them, despite having Polish family and having spent time over there at weddings / holidays etc I've eaten very little in the way of actual Polish meals. My father in law married a Polish lady and has lived over there for years but whenever we visit all he wants is English food. Next time I'm hoping to break away from the family pack and take in some traditional restaurants.
I've had soups like żurek and borscht and of course the sausages, vodka and beer but I'd really like to get more into it all, unfortunately I'm pretty lazy and the good stuff seems to thrive on long cooking times.

Pierogi, you kind of do what you want with them. To actually cook them you boil in a pan of water until they float. I personally the fry onions and thin diced bacon in a pan with butter and then add the boiled pierogi until they are slightly golden.I've had soups like zurek and borscht and of course the sausages, vodka and beer but I'd really like to get more into it all, unfortunately I'm pretty lazy and the good stuff seems to thrive on long cooking times.
