Polish food shops?

I really like browsing around Polish food shops.

I really like drinking Kefir, its a yogurt drink that is full of healthy bacteria thats good for gut health. I started drinking it as I really like the taste. Well in Morrisons it's £2.50 for a 500ml bottle. I found Kefir in my local Polish shop for 99p for a one litre bottle and its better then the brand named product.

What have you found in Polish shops that you like?

    not in polish shop as such,but in Sainsburys Polish section, £1.30, Mieszko Cherissimo chocolates, they are bits of cherry in liqueur, but unlike other liqueur chox I remember there is no nasty sugar coating inside. They are gorgeous.
    Love these, but there are only 8 to a box sadly.

    Beer! Very tasty and reasonably priced.
  • Wedel chocolate biscuits. Especially those like Jaffa Cakes but with a raspberry filling.

  • Sugar free jam, in various flavours. I originally found them, strawberry and blackberry, when Lidl were doing their ‘Polish” week. Loved them and then Lidl stopped selling them....Went into a couple of Polish shops and found them there - more flavours but almost twice the price, unfortunately. Worth it though as good for that sweet hit when I am doing my sugar free month(s).

    My one and only trip to a Polski sklep was in 2007 in Manchester - around the GreenHeys area - where all business ground to a halt when everyone stopped and stared at me upon entering. Strange because I felt very welcome on trips to Warsaw.

    Since then I haven't bothered with it.

    As above:
    The different flavours of Jaffa Cakes
    Kefir
    Beers, good range and cheap
    Chocolate

    Searching for Andulusian Sauce, as Eastern Europe put it on sandwiches, but cannot find it over here. Been to Poland 6 times, love the country.

    Never been in one, saw one once through the bus window as it went past.

    I'd be prepared to go in and buy stuff.... but I'd fear not having a clue what any of it was, or what to do with it :)

    We have a few Polish and other "international" shops down here in Kent. Some of them are really good for cheese, garlic meats, sourdough bread (makes me lazy though, I should be baking it), fruit drinks (sour cherry is great), lots of different beers, including palatable non alchoholic ones, pickles, quality vegetables and loose leaf tea.
