Yeah, actually, most polish stores in Poland don't make their own food and but it of subpar quality. So this one might be actually better than in an average polish store in Poland.

I know a lot emigrants who went from Poland to USA back in the days when us economy was quite ok ( now emigration doesnt exist from Poland to USA). When they went to USA schools they were best students when in Poland they were poor or average. I can belive a lot of fairy tales from USA but not that people there are smarter than Poles lel

At Holy Trinity H S in Chicago, lunch was an epicurean delight. We didn't have professional chefs or cooks-we had something much better: carloads of Polish Grandmothers volunteering in the kitchen. No stale hamburgers or limp melted cheese sandwiches. Ham, turkey, chicken, pork roasts, chops, roast beef. My favorite was a breaded pork tenderloin, the size of a salad plate, mountain of mash potatoes with gravy, corn or peas and carrots, slice of bread or dinner roll and a pint of milk. All for less than a dollar. No one left hungry. Those were the days.

Jedzenie wygląda smakowicie i chętnie spróbowałbym tych wersji potraw. Jedyna rzecz, która mnie zadziwiła to ludzie w tle. Tu w Polsce każdy ma obraz Ameryki jako kraju mlekiem i miodem płynącego a tam w tle wygląda jakby ludzie z przytułku dla bezdomnych się schodzili. Przynajmniej w Polsce tak wyglądają ludzie z przytułków. Czas zrewidować pogląd o Stanach a Wam drodzy rodacy polecam zrewidować pogląd o współczesnej Polsce.

I was impressed with the authentic looking southern Polish styles they had, my family is from a small village just south of Krosno, and the authentic shopping babcia ogling the food at 3:45 sealed the deal for me. I was a little skeptical about the pierogi that appeared to have pork in it. I've never had a real pierogi filled with anything other that cheese, potatoes or cabbage growing up. Us polacks love bacon and ham, so it doesn't seem like too big a leap for me. The golabki look legit, too.

[@eugeneogor4009]

I am Russian. I love to try it. Next time in Chicago

[@JK-cl3sj]

Polish food is not only Pierogi Cabbage Schabowy or Kielbasa. Try Leczo(pronaunce Lecho), DEVOLA Cotlet, potato pancaces, Kachubski Herrings, mayonaise salad with portion of smoked ham (popular especially on christmas), poppy seed cake pronaunce Macoviec, Gingerpie (Pie-niki) as for alcohol try NALEVKA it is an 40% alckohol mixed with fruit juice (cherry, cranbery, rasbery, even with nuts....) despite strong portion of alckohol it doestn burn in mounth. What is important there is a space between food in homes/restaurants and food in grocery or cheap markets. Most important are fresh ingrindients. Polish food is high protein high energy food great especially in autumn and winter. Great to work out muscles or work in wood with axe by few hours without tiredness in winter conditions. Awsome to ski or snowboard. In summer much more better are soups like Zurek, Red Barch or Chcken soup and "half" sandwiches with green onion, cottage cheese, ham, eggs.

[@matetemate2346]

goralska is our house kielbasa, followed by ciemna and then lesna.....there are so many varities of sausage and each store makes it their way..you can spend a life trying sausage and you will have different each time.

This is typical Polish milk bar (cheap homemade food). Polish cuisine has more to offer. Before war, Polish cuisine was very rich and complex. Did you know that crayfish soup is a Polish dish? Or that Jerusalem artichoke was popular vegetable? Polish people used to cook turtle (sic!). Due to occupation and war, many exclusive food supplies became scarce. When communism entered Polish cuisine changed from elegant and sophisticated into labor-high calorie diet. And so until now.
