russh Re: Tasty Classics 23.11.05, 21:24 Talking about HP Sauce, can you get it over here? I've looked, but no success. PS. You forgot two pints of lager before ordering your crisps. Odpowiedz Link
usenetposts Re: Tasty Classics 23.11.05, 22:40 The supermarket Emma sometimes has it, on the right hand side as you leave Warsaw and come into Piastow going straight along what is in the centre Al. Jerozolimskie. That's a one-off supermarket, and the buying department is sometimes inspired. I'd say it's a good 20% dearer than a lot of shops, but I dare say they are playing to those who appreciate the difference. Odpowiedz Link

usenetposts Re: Tasty Classics 24.11.05, 00:27 All they seem to have is shortbread biscuits in the UK section, and curry pastes. I thought it was a pretty poor representation of what the UK has to offer. Odpowiedz Link
russh Re: Tasty Classics 24.11.05, 06:38 Absolutely1 I've only been to the nearest (to me) - Urzynow. Nowt. The only British things they have, would you believe it, are Patek's Indian Sauces. No Heinz BB, No HP Sauce, No Chedder (half the time), NO STILTON (buts lots of French, Dutch & Italian Blue cheeses), No pasties (every Pole that I know who has eaten a good one loves them) or pies. Sure there's more, but can't think anymore. I'm missing my WATER BISCUITS & STILTON supper. Hey Dave. You said you know the Ambassador. Tell him to have a word with the MD (of Tesco), and get something sorted out. Maggie - as you're on HM's service, get hold of her ear. She must have some influence somewhere. Guys, get it sorted. Your country expects! Odpowiedz Link
nasza_maggie Re: Tasty Classics 24.11.05, 12:35 there's always the deli in Arcadia Tescos in Praga have Hp Sauce Ursynow is just probably too yuppie to store it))) Odpowiedz Link
russh Re: Tasty Classics 24.11.05, 14:11 Yuppie. Now that's word that I've not heard for years & years & years. Not since I bought my first Fiat 126 twin-elasticated turbo with a supercharged sports exhaust to be exact. Everybody was so envious of me at the time, I had no choice but to sell it. The arcadia, is that in Praga? Remember, I know nowt bout Warsaw! I'll go halfway to.... almost anywhere that's not far if I can get hold of just some of the things I mentioned. Odpowiedz Link
nasza_maggie Re: Tasty Classics 24.11.05, 14:30 No Arkadia is by Rondo Babka/ Rondo Radoslaw which is Muranow on way to Bielany www.arkadia.com.pl/ It's the biggest shopping complex in Poland, Europe, the world - allegedly Top Class and all that. Me and Davey spoke about the lack of such products in Warsaw. Maybe time to think up a business plan, eh? Odpowiedz Link
russh Re: Tasty Classics 24.11.05, 23:22 I know I got a big appetite, but I'm not sure I can eat enough to justify opening a business just to feed it! Odpowiedz Link

Tell him to have a word with the MD > (of Tesco), and get something sorted out. His Excellency is already doing things, actually, or at least his staff is. The Embassy butler also runs a company for the import of English fine teas. I did talk with him about extending that, and he was very open about it. I think what we need is a wish list of British products that we would buy, and an idea of how much we would commit to buying on a regular monthly basis. All business planning has to start with market research, so what we need is a list of products each of us would buy that need to be specially brought over. Foe example, I myself would commit to a large bottle of HP per month, 10 tins of Heinz Baked Beans a month and 20 tins of Heinz cream of tomato soup. I would also want diet lemonade, diet ginger beer, diet Tizer and diet tango (apple) and some of these fancy flavoured gassy waters. I would buy about 10 liters of that a month. Then there are things like lemon curd, marmite, ovaltine/bournvita, PG tips, coffee mate (cremona, which is sold here, is, like, revolting) elderflower cordial -(although you can get a good one from Germany in mini Europa some times) and a whole bunch of other things. If we can get a list together for a monthly buy, then I can get it costed up and present it as a serious proposition to the English tea Company. I don't think they will want to play around for anything less than about 1000 pounds a month, but if we have ten regular buyers getting a hundred quids worth of groceries that way per month, then I think we could have the beginnings of a supply line.

varsovian Re: Tasty Classics 02.12.05, 15:01 Piastow = small place Don't you know the chef at the Irish Embassy who also sells his products from his home in Piastow? I particularly like his sausages - you know, the ones where you can eat the properly-browned skins without having to quaff litres of vodka to aid digestion or having to belch copious amounts of gas. Anyway, he's planning to expand his range of products and possibly go online too. I must ask my wife to find out more the next time she goes round to get his quality bangers. Odpowiedz Link
varsovian Re: Tasty Classics 02.12.05, 14:53 EMMA! PIASTOW! That means you live not too far from me. Ooo-er. I bet you go to that garden centre out in Kanie, don't you? Anyway, is Emma worth visiting? It always seemed a cute but unlikely name for a supermarket. Odpowiedz Link

I have been there, but I prefer one just north of Lomianki. > Anyway, is Emma worth visiting? It always seemed a cute but unlikely name for > a supermarket. I think it is one of the better markets, like Mini Europa and Piotr i Pawel, and like them is a little bit pricey. I was pleased with the REMA at the rear end of the Smyk on Krucza that I visited recently for the first time, by the way. Odpowiedz Link
nasza_maggie Re: Tasty Classics 05.12.05, 01:30 that's not REMA anymore... I think they went bust. Anyway I like 'Albert' too Odpowiedz Link
