Food brought in

[usenetposts]

I have to say that I think things have improved in nwaarsaw with regard to
the quality of food that you can have brought to your office in Warsaw and
the delivery speeds are also good.

Right now I got Spaghetti carbonara from Pizza Dominium, for 18.50 PLN, and
it is pretty good. I only rang for it about 15 minutes ago.

What's it like in your city, and what services do you use to order ready
cooked meals in to your office?

15 mins??? Somebody must have cancelled their order and they diverted the
delivery to you. I used to do this sort of thing. 15 mins is really quick.
Can't believe they would deliver that fast under normal circumstances.
My city is Warsaw if I order food food its from a small pizza place in
Poznanska. Can't remember their name right now. They also have great pasta. But
I always make an effort to venture out for lunch. Couldn't stay 8+ hrs in the
same place every day. I'm crazy enuff as it is.

i remember a place in Slupsk - which sadly is no longer - which offered Italian
pasta dishes for between 5,50 for a simple spaghetti w sosie pomidorowym to i
think it was 15,50 for a makaron with seafood... was v. good and good sized
portions... i don't remember how much delivery was as i usually ate na miejscu
it was called Spaghetteria...

reflecting on minimus' comment, i must say, if only out of concern for your
health and well-being, Dave, that getting out at lunchtime is of a benefit to
one's health that is best not disregarded .

[usenetposts]

Well maybe I should but I do a lot of my best thinking over food, and so I
often work while eating.

Also it would take quite a bit of time, and there is no tradition of the lunch
break in Polish companies.

8-) Yes, of course, there is. A short tradition but where I work most ppl go
out for lunch.

I must agree that at break is needed. Not necessarily getting out, although the
fresh air always does one a power of good, but at least some time away from the
desk. You know what they say about a change!

[marcus_anglikiem]

Dave, do you not find your powers of thought diminishing without a proper meal
(by which i mean dedicating yourself only to your food)...?

[usenetposts]

Maybe they do. I will have to try doing that. I have worked in that building
for many years and there is nowhere that near that I could quickly get to, and
so mainly I don't take the time to go and sit down and get served, but maybe
that would be a good thing to start doing this year.

[minimus]

Where do you work Dave? Maybe I could recommend something?

[varsovian]

I more or less have to eat at work - fortunately we have a decent enough
kitchen. I can only get out once in a while.
I chatted with a French friend recently and he found Polish customs not suited
to his Gallic stomach.
The working day in France starts in the cafe and reconvenes in the resto after
a short break in the office ...

[marcus_anglikiem]

try that, yeah. for a couple of weeks i'd think... and see if you feel an
effect. it'll be a worthwhile experiment even if you don't derive a noticeable
benefit... but i think there might be something good luck!

It is funny that this comment comes form the Englishmen, who's country is
renowed worldwide as the country with dull and rather blund cuisine...I guess
only Finish critique of Polish food would seem more absurd

"work in the office"? I thought you were (robol)- a blue collar worker... Just
kidding In my country, USA most corporations- office buildings have their
own caffeterias, a lot of people go out for lunch, or order pizza, chinesse, or
other take-out foods to be delivered at the office.

"Blund cuisine" indeed. You are so passe ... (q.v. Chirac)

The problem is there are too few English women who can be bothered to cook or
bake, and English men are too lazy.

At least Brits have discovered spicy food - that has yet to appeal to Poles.
Poles and curries do not mix well together, and they certainly don't cook spicy
food at home - although my brother and sister-in-law are converts to my curries!

Yeah, Brits have discovered spicy food, same way Columbus has "discovered"
America I guess, it took British sea merchands at least 5 millenia to
discovere yummy Thai, Vietnamesse and Malasian foods

That's true, Poland is the salt & pepper country....if it was located at least
500 miles south it would surely be the paprika country But in this global
world we live in, culinary habits change, to tell you the truth I consume more
Thai and Chinesse foods then typical polish ones, since I moved to US.

GOOD APPETITE!!!
by the way are you vegetarian?

[usenetposts]

Who me? Vegetarian? No way. I'm a Christian. Christians can't be vegetarians.
