For example, I can take my sheets to 'magiel' and skip ironing the big stufff. I know, it's a small pleasure, but still a pleasure if you like crispy sheets.

There is a 'magiel' near you.

Please tell me what sort of bread is meant to be so good in Poland. I lived there for 10 months and all the bread was rank. I know you should buy it fresh each day and eat it asap but even though it was all horrid. I actually prefer, against what my heart tells me, pre-packaged presevative fuelled English TESCO bread. Help me convert to the Polish Foundation of Bread Lovers.

S?onecznik is absolutely delicious if you can ever find any. Kr�lewski is also good. Polish bread good, Tesco bread bad.

I can't believe you don't like the bread here?! You must be buying the preservative filled crap in the supermarkets, OR you are one of those odd ppl who only LIKE that kind of preservative filled, overbleached, sugarfilled crud.

Polish bread is the best I've tasted in the world.

Huge loaves of Country Bread are the best. They last at least a week, you slice it yourself to keep it fresh, AND you can but HALF loaves, they cut it for you! What more could you want!?

GO POLISH BREAD!

Twarog/Polish Cottage Cheese is another fave... sooooo delicious. Razz

Also, as opposed to the Brits and the Yanks, they know how to make a decent cup of coffee here... Happy happy joy joy!
