There are few things closer to a Pole's heart than chocolate, and Wedel has been wooing customers since way back in 1851. This chocoholics paradise should top any sweet-toothed traveller's list. Lovingly reconstructed after the war, the Wedel 'Pijalnia' is nothing less than a Warsaw institution. As it was, none of the Wedel family survived to see the post 1989 world, but the new owners are proudly endeavouring to uphold the firms traditions. Have they got it right? Judging by the huge popularity of this place, the answer must be a resounding yes.

I got lucky in Asda today. They had a nice ring of Wiejska for a very reasonable £2.57. I ate the whole thing, and it was very good.
Even better: I was overcharged on till and got a £2 gift card. Guess I'll invest that one in more Wiejska.

Can someone post a "glossary"; for those of us who are "newbies" to polish food culture?

Sausage and Vodka are probably the only two words you'd need to get by!

We've got a Polish deli near to here which is great as since I've been visiting Polish friends I've developed a liking for Polish soup. Its probably cheaper to get a £5 Ryanair return ticket to Wroclaw and do some shopping out there rather than pay over inflated prices in the UK. At least then you can top up with cheap Zubrowka Vodka which is just the best!

Mmmm zubrowka and apple juice...

And I've had hot chocolate at Wedel! It's very posh.
