Polish Food Ailse 5

It just became easier to eat Polish in the U.K.

Heinz has launched their Pudliszki brand in England, which is the iconic brand in Poland. It's the favorite with shoppers having five times greater sales than its nearest rival.

Products include many traditional Polish recipes such as stuffed cabbage in tomato sauce and pork tripe in chicken broth. Heinz is the first major food producer to introduce a range of food to the UK which has previously been sold exclusively in Poland.

There are at least 750,000 Poles now living in the UK, 2 per cent of the total Polish population. In Manchester alone there are 80,000 Poles. They will all tell you that they think Polish food is better. They particularly say they hate the English sausages.

Several Polish food stores have opened up in Banbury, after the Oxfordshire town's population was estimated to be 10 per cent Polish.

Heinz plans to sell 13 Pudliszki products, with ready meals such as pork and beef goulash and beef tripe in tomato sauce priced at about $3.95.

A Heinz spokesman said: "In the past couple of years there has been asignificant rise in the number of Polish restaurants, cafes and delicatessens in the UK and so the chances are that UK consumers may have already tried some Polish products. "We have worked with our people in Poland to come up with a range which not only includes family favorites but also the seasonal products which, ordinarily, Polish residents would eat only a few times of the year.
