Polish Family #21

We spend about 300zł (€75) a week on food. We consume plain food. We don't buy any beverages or any industrial and processed food. We like to buy eggs from the village and freshly dug vegetables from the market .We buy all of our vegetables from the farmer's market but for big quantities we shop from the farmers in the village. When our kids were young we used to buy milk from the village but now there are no cows left in the village. We always eat at home. Once or twice a year we buy ready-made food and once a year on “our day” we go to a restaurant. Maria cooks in the house. She learned many things from her mother but when she got married she improved by reading cookery books. Now she knows by heart 32 different recipes for soups. Food should be made and eaten when it is still hot, not to stay for some days. We like simple meals with plain taste not so refined. We like Polish tastes. Variety is very important in our food, not to cook and eat the same food all the time. During our meals we read the newspaper and we discuss about the news. Back in the old days we use to eat more fat food, more kluśki more pierogi. Now we eat more vegetables and more fruits that weren't available in Poland in the past. I remember when we were kids we used to eat bread with sugar and that was a real delicacy, our kids didn't even want to hear about it.
