Love a browse in the polish section of supermarkets better still find your nearest polish supermarket if you have one realistically near you. A lot of people are afraid to go in the old polski sklep if they're british. But don't be.
Oh and if you're ever in Morrisons just got some "the best" currywurst sausages £1.80 for 6 really nice. So juicy lol. Worth a try. I got them from the fridge where the butchers counter is.
Living near Bedford, we have a massive Polish population since WW2 when many brave Polish servicemen stayed in the UK rather than return to a communist country many working in the brickyards or the engineering companies that Bedford was once famous for. I always loved trying the Polski shops since I was a teenager. The chopped pork and ham is good with a bit of the tomato sauce with paprika.
I still remember the nauseating smell of frying spam at primary school. I grew to like it, but to think they used to feed kids that stuff, just horrible
The polish one is more like PEK. Great with a salad. I slice it up and put it on a plate with cling film over. And basically just keep having the odd slice. Far better chilled. Great with chips and egg too.
Give me the Krakus any day over the SPAM, if you like over processed fat laden oversalted mechanically retrieved meats then you will go for SPAM, Krakus has a better natural texture from what I can see, whereas Spam is a nasty looking unidentifiable dollop of compressed meat goo! it has been over 50 years since I had SPAM, and what I remember it was a nasty over salty mess, sorry Minnesota I have to be honest! I may actually look for and try some Krakus 😃
I usually use the Polish, East European and Ethnic shops in my town. They're usually better value than British shops. Sometimes I'm lucky enough to come across proper smoked bacon that you can tell has been hooked and hung in the smoker.
IBeen brought up with Polish food since a child – my dad was from Poland. Always worth looking at the Polish food in your local supermarket usually its quite a bit cheaper than the British equivalent, The ketchup is ok but there is one with cilli which is lovely. Just explore its worth a go.
Got to hand it to you mate I’m subscribed to a few you you tubers like you on here and not one of them have posted anything for about 5 days I understand Christmas all that but your the only one that’s been posting respect keep up the good work
Spam is muck in my opinion, I buy alot of polish food products and they are really good quality and taste lovely and for the price a good deal usually.
Married to a Polish woman. I do enjoy polish shops. They were really handy during the pandemic as all other shops sold out of pasta etc.. the polish shops were fully stocked. Brits seemed to avoid them.
Both look nice , don't worry about cross contamination as they are both the same product which is cooked meat. Cross contamination occurs when uncooked and cooked meat come into contact for example you use the same chopping board or you store uncooked meat above cooked meat in a refrigerator.
My town has Mleczko Supermarket. It sells delicious bread, beer and sausages and fresh cakes that are so decadent and saucy you want to take them to a hotel room. My town has several Indian, Chinese (with Japanese and Korean stuff), Turkish, Caribbean and Bulgarian Supermarkets. All the real foodie nations are here. It's the only thing that makes living in Croydon still bearable.
I used to get a strawberry jam from Morrisons years ago that I'm sure was made by Krakus it was really good, I don't think they stock it now; I'll have to look for it in the Polish shops.

'Pea brain' 😭🤣 you absolute legend mate! Always giving me a laugh
Special Processed American Meat, according to google
If your going to have a baguette you have to wear the right boots (riggers should do) 🙂

get a job lad you have a wife and two children ffs
Looks appetising to me
the best way to fry the Krakus product is to keep it as a round slice, it does not fall apart and yes it tastes nicer
Any European food product is going to be far superior to American.
I get polish cup soups off amazon ….they are delicious 😋
The Polish one looks really good.
Fried Spam in a bake at home crusty baguette sounds SO GOOD!

Both good but on taste and price, Krakus for me. 8/10.
Something, Probably Ain't Meat.
cant beat bacon grill for camping
don't flop it out in public
Or they will stick you in the dock
And you won't come back…
Spam looks like an artificial blob.
Spam is nasty 🤢

My guilty pleasure is Lidl's Vitakrone Meat Salad. Luncheon meat in salad cream with gherkins. Divine!
Personally I wouldn't eat it (prefer beans on toast or even a cheap soup!) BUT I can say both makes a good cheap fishing bait👍👍

Krakus was a great import in the 60's! Always sought their products out back then especially the pickles! Often buy nowadays!
Both look delicious Gareth!
You sounded just like John Lennon towards the end….."I'm not the only one".
What's point in doing a taste test on the pork products by covering them in ketchup?
Spam is best
Why would they put Spam in tins for 90 years and now change to plastic when we are trying to use less plastic packaging 🤔?
This Polish meat is a regular in my shopping. It's delicious and very substantial. I have it with lovely sourdough bread and pickles.

Nice one. I'll keep an eye out for the Krakus 😋😋👍👍
P.s ….love the show , well done and thank you….

The Polish Meat is more natural than the Spam version which is blitzed and extruded, ( you can hide stuff in there ) like FAT

The polish Golnka is a much taster , and an all round better product..
I think I would prefer the Polish one. I like the idea of it not being sort of glued together
