Greyman 25,266 Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 The fish for sale in supermarkets are farmed so I have no problem with it we farm salmon and trout for the table so crack on, I work with lots of poles in the care home and about 80% say carp is disgusting but they eat it as it’s tradition like most of us don’t eat turkey regular but at crimbo we are all over it, it’s just supply and demand but think it gets less and less as time goes on 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you’re open to new things Google “ Polish Flaki” one of the best soups I’ve ever tasted. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One of the cleaners at work has just gone home for a week, I,ll get here to knock some up for me when she returns seems cooking and family gatherings are quite important to them, I actually get on better with the polish girls than most of the English we seem to appreciate many of the same simpler things in life 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tasted like mud. Obviously they know how to clear that taste in Polska lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They did it for crimbo. Probably some still do but it’s a common place thing in the fishmongers/supermarkets to have it now (purged that is). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mushroom 12,391 Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 I would honestly suggest if anyone is game, take a holiday in Poland. Great place, loads of historic places to visit and the people are on the norm, pretty warm hearted. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
