Helena is a manager and chef in a restaurant in Janowiec<br />
Leszek is a security guard<br />

Helena and Leszek eat everyday together when Leszek comes back from work. When we have a big smile in our faces after our meal we know that we had a good one. Anita and Lukasz visiting their parents twice a month and when they are at home we have big lunch together. When all of us are together we spend all day by the table. We have breakfast and then lunch. Food brings the family together. We talk for hours, drink tea and stay until late. In the summer we eat in the garden; after Sunday lunch we like to go for a walk in the fields.

  • Elzbieta and Jacek spend about 200 Zloty (EUR50) a week for food. We care about the food we buy. We buy healthy food but we believe that labels on food - organic, POP, etc - are more of a marketing thing than real quality assurance. We have a plot 10Km outside the town where in the summer we cultivate vegetables, herbs and fruits for our own consumption. We make preserves, pickles and we put herbs in salt for the winter. We keep all that in the basement. Our basement looks like a store. Mainly we shop in the local shops and in farmer's market. Rarely we go to supermarkets. Ania remembers that when she was a kid, 20 years ago, they weren't many sweets or vegetables in Poland. It was a hard time, people couldn't find meat and everybody had ration cards. <br />
<br />
<br />
We cook and we eat together everyday. We only go to restaurants on special occasions.  We are busy during the day so over the dinner we have the opportunity to talk about everything, good things, our problems, to enjoy each other and have a good time. <br />
<br />
We all cook, we learned from our parents. A good meal depends on the products, if they are fresh or not. Healthy, fresh, natural products from the farmer's market make a good meal.  In the summer we eat more vegetables and fruits. We like tomatoes very much; we could eat 1Kg of tomatoes a day.  Also in the summer we don't eat soups but only salads.

  • Anita moved into that flat 3 years ago the others followed latter, last to come was Mateusz 21. We knew each other before moving together. It’s a nice big flat close to the centre, not very expensive and with a balcony that we sit in the spring.

  • Elzbieta and Jacek have been living in this house since 2000. It is important to us to live in this place because it is close to the town center. We are seniors and we like to have everything near home. Our house is 5Km from the railway station, close to farmer's market, close to the church and the hospital.

  • Mateusz 22, Mateusz 21, Grzegorz 2, Anita 22<br />
Lublin, Poland<br />
<br />
We are all students.<br />
<br />
Rarely we eat together. We coming back home at different times so it is hard to meet and have a lunch or dinner together. Everyone cooks for himself. We learned from our families, we watch how other people cook and copy them.<br />
<br />
The best meal is the one our parents make. Family dinner with our parents is very important, we don’t see them very often so when we go home we really enjoy it. Mateusz’s 22 family is in Denmark, only his mother is in Poland so when he visit her for dinner he stays to help her with the house too. Sometimes Anita cooks more than what she can eat so we eat the leftovers. Once she made a dinner for all of us.

  • We spend about 250zł (€62.5) a week for food and beer. At the end of the month when we run out of money we get food from our parents. Everybody is buying for himself but not always the cheapest food. Mostly we do our shopping in the local shop. Sometimes we go to TESCO to buy crisps they are the best ones and the cheapest ones too.<br />
Sometimes we cook, sometimes we buy ready made meals and other times we eat at the university or get food from our parents. We also eat in a fast food restaurant – a Polish version of MacDonald’s or we go to a Vietnamese restaurant. Usually the beginning of the month when we have money we go out and towards the end of the month we eat at home.

  • The dinner table of Wednesday 3 February 2010 at 20:30<br />
Everybody except Mateusz 22 likes pierogi. For Mateusz 22 pierogi are boring- you cannot eat the same food everyday. Pierogi and pickled cucumbers came from Anita’s mother. Cheetos from the local shop- not our favourite ones, our favourites are from TESCO

  • Helena and Leszek spend about 250 Zloty (EUR60) a week on food. We buy good quality food we care very much about it. We don't shop in Tesco or other hypermarkets because the food there tastes of plastic. In those hypermarkets there are potatoes from Israel, carrots from Turkey etc but few Polish products. Poland is the biggest producer of apples in the EU but in the hypermarkets you only find apples from Holland. We buy our meat from a butcher and our bread from a bakery. Once a week we go to a supermarket in Pulawy to do a big shopping. In the spring and the summer we buy fruits and vegetables from neighbouring farms but in winter there are only potatoes for sale. <br />
<br />
There are no restaurants in our village we only cook and eat at home. We cook only traditional food with local products. We like Polish cuisine not sushi or frutti di mare. Many young Poles are influenced by the TV and the magazines so they eat "fashionable" foreign food. Helena cooks and sometimes when Anita is at home she helps too. When the kids were young and Helena was working Leszek was doing the cooking. Helena learned to cook form her parents but she tries to do new things and experiment on Polish cuisine. In the winter we eat more soups and more meat. There are few vegetables growing naturally in winter so we eat kompot (Polish fruit stew) instead. In the summer we like light soups - milk soups with tomato, paprika, cucumber, berries, etc. We try to keep the tradition. We pass to our kids what we inherited from our parents.
