I wonder what would be the reaction of people in Poland in 1980s, if someone told them that one day there will be people coming here from London and saying that the shopping here is better

I agree Polish supermarkets are incredible with amount of choice of food from around the word ! You like to buy cheese ! You have 100 choices from around the world even from New Zealand ! I live in Australia and I can’t buy cheese from New Zealand ! When return to Australia and gone to supermarkets I did feel I am in Seven eleven small grocery shop !
I don't know how it is in Australia, but here in Poland we have huge competition in the hypermarket sector, and it's between large corporations. Currently, there are only three large chains left on the market - Auchan, Carefour and Le Clerc, and until recently we also had Tesco, Geant, Real. In addition, the very idea of hypermarkets is constantly attacked by smaller supermarkets, such as Lidl, Biedronka, Carefour Market, Simply (a sub-brand of the Auchan chain) and others, as well as slightly larger semi-wholesale stores Sell-Gross and Macro. And for the lazy and the busy, there is also online sales. I live in Warsaw and I do most of my grocery shopping in small shops located no further than 500 meters from my home. Theoretically, it is a bit more expensive here. However, thanks to this, I was able to give up my car, which is a significant saving, especially since the pandemic, when I work from home half the time.

Interesting! One would expect UK markets to be more vibrant with different food choices because of the immigrant population there. Polish market looks a lot like ones in the US. Thank you for sharing!
Polish markets are much better than US. U.S not producing anything, It has to relay on imports and everything is getting so expensive. Inflation, economy falling apart, value of the $$ falling too, loosing trading partners because of tariffs and luck of trust from other countries.

It used to be feta cheese until UE pass a law about local products and Greeks received a recognition feta cheese as local to Greece product. It's available in many Polish shops. Mlekovita, the producer, is one of the biggest diary brands in Poland.
Ale nie nauczyliśmy się jeszcze robić fety. Porównaj fetę grecką (dostępna) z polską.Nie wspomnę że feta z wiadra np na Krecie to jeszcze absolutnie inne i lepsze doznanie. Ale też sa inne przykłady. Kiełbasa w Polsce to inny swiat niz np w UK. Ostatnio widziałem program kultowego kucharza angielskiego który przyrządzał danie na bazie kiełbasy i i na początku poinformował ze po kiełbasę udał się oczywiście do polskich delikatesów.
Przy czym należy podkreślić, ze ser z mlekowity nie jest serem podobnym do Feta. jest serem miękkim. Sprawdziłęm go w sałatkach. Jest nieporównywalnie lepszym serem od feta. Po wymieszaniu z mieszanką sałat tworzy coś w rodzaju sosu. Sałatka nie potrzebuje soli no może odrobinę.
@@robertrojko8264 Zgadza się. Moim jedynym zarzutem jest brak mniejszych opakowań lub innego sposobu pakowania. Zbyt często cała paczka to za dużo do jednej sałatki, a otwarty wysycha i do niczego się więcej nie nadaje.

Zgadza się. Supermarkety idą drogą dyskontów i zwiększają udział marek własnych i ograniczają liczbę "obcych" na półkach, do tych najbardziej popularnych - w pogoni za konkurencyjnością i ograniczeniem kosztów
Zgadza sie , w Polsce bylo kilka takich luksusnych Delikatesow jak chociazby Bomi , tam wybor byl taki ze naprawde dostawalo sie oczoplasu ale ceny niestety tez nie z polskiej bajki byly . W efekcie te wypasione delikatesy poplajtowaly a w ich m-ce weszly dyskonty albo hipermarketowe sieciowki (Auchan, Carrefour, Lidl ,Kaufland itp )

Lived in Poland for over 10 years and yes the food shopping is very much better than UK. When I go back to UK I despair about the lack of choice. Very few things I bring back here. Think you’re wrong on the small variety of cheeses! It’s not so bad in comparable size shops. One big correction is how you pronounce Kraków! I used to work with a Polish colleague in the UK and he said he came from Lodz not Łódź!!! I had to correct his pronunciation and we had a laugh and remained good friends.

Make no mistake, it is a big mall in one of biggest cities in Poland. In smaller cities shops are much more modest. Also, Auchan is a bit "upper shelf". If you'd go to "Biedronka" market you would shudder. It's cheap to shop there, but don't expect much more than that.
I was in london for a short while 3 years ago and honestly sainsbury or tesco weren't all that different from lidl or biedronka (maybe less euro-pallets in the isles) but the small local shops looked like all the local grocery stores (sklepy osiedlowe) that used to be so common before all the big chains came to poland and destroyed them. I kind of miss them.
I'm a bit confused here. As a UK expat living most of my life in Germany my finding is that UK supermarkets (I've only ever been to Tesco, Morrison(S)? Sainsburys and Asda), and they are all very bright i.e. well lit and neat and tidy. Where are the dull ones you have been to? The only ones I can imaging that might be less well lit would be much older ones. You'll find substantially less well lit supermarkets here in (supposed high tech) Germany.
@@cosmicdebris2223 I’ve lived in five countries so far and comparing to polish or french varieties of products and bright spacious super markets, UK ones are not great for me.
Przez 10 lat mieszkałam w Holandii i tam też jest bardzo ubogi wybór produktów. Nawet małe polskie sklepy, miały zwykle większą różnorodność opcji do wyboru, niż holenderskie supermarkety
I am surprised that London doesn’t have stores and selection like those in Poland. We have them in Canada. I can see some prices for fruits are very high.
Ciężką pracę Polaków w końcu zaczyna się dostrzegać. Na pewno nie jest to zasluga takich krajów jak Anglia, zdradliwych i oportunistycznych. Odnoszę sie tu faktów historycznych. A te są nie podważalne.
UK did step backwards at the time Poland did couples step forward. Sad, but it is true, UK shops has not so many choices and prices are higher, not only food but other stuff as well, home ,building and clothes are better and cheaper. If you do your chopping you also not worry about finding toilets and they are clean ! UK toilets are like in 3 world .
British supermarket are slowly improving. Its possible to have several types of coffee without said produce taking up an entire aisle. But the quality is getting worse. Fresh produce such as fresh fruit & veg are out of date and about to go over when being sold. Everything is overpriced.
@y0uw0tm8-t9g - Too true! Some of the out-of-town Biedronka stores are roomy and modern but most are cramped and chaotic. Best thing about Biedronka is the prices. The fruit & veg is general good as well.
@y0uw0tm8-t9g - A few of the Biedronka stores in Warsaw aren’t so bad. As for Tesco in the UK, I’d agree most are far better than your average Biedronka, but my heart skips a beat when I see the high prices and all the pandering to every possible “social justice” issue 🤮🤮🤮. Sainsbury and Waitrose are even worse in terms of prices.
One of the largest supermarkets in Europe is Tesco Extra in Pitsea Basildon. It is 185000 square feet, just beating the one in Manchester which has 63 aisles. Maybe it's just where you are living where you can't find many options.
Yes it is true, UK shoppers don't know how much they are being tricked by fancy packing for poor quality food and since Brexit even less choice and higher price. How nice to be able to shop with eyes not wallet.
They have much better quality food, if they have a Camembert its proper one from france, if prosciuto its the one from Italy. In Poland most of the things are fake or if original, they cost a fortune.
@@ipodman1910 not interested in your opinion, you clearly have never tried english bacon, beef or fish. What we have in here in Poland in that field is incredibly poor
@@szyszak9 wrong froggy, we are not interested in your opinion. I used to visit UK and live there for several days each time regularly before you were allowed to travel freely to Europe. Food was much better there at that time but still was nothing to be compared with Polish production.

It's funny you used the phrase "yellow cheese"! Do you know it is known only in Poland? It comes from the times when there were two types of cheese: white and yellow.
Poles build supermarkets just like they imagine supermarkets in the "West". They try to build everything this way and, for example, they think that broadband Internet access is a standard in the "West". Postcolonial thinking sometimes gives surprising results :P
I have sometimes bought Polish food in English supermarkets to see what it is like. I love horseradish sauce so bought the Polish version, it was far stronger than ours!
Bro ofcourse people are stealing in poland I was working in a local shop in my vilage and we had to watch section with alchohol like hawks and I'm not talking about imigrants XD
Mieszkam w Gdańsku i uważam, że wybór jest bardzo ograniczony w porównaniu z Wielką Brytanią. W Wielkiej Brytanii mogę kupić wszystko, w tym polskie, ale w Polsce mogę kupić tylko polskie. Tak bardzo tęsknię za Anglią.
unfortunately, but in Poland we have a consumer market. If you want to buy high quality products, you have to immediately reject all discount stores, i.e. Lidl, Biedronka, Auchan and other well-known foreign chains. The best quality food and a large selection of good food is in delicatessens such as Frac, Centrum, Społem and many other local chains. The food is much better.
A supermarket and a shopping mall are two different things. It isn't common for a Polish supermarket to have a children's play area. Lidl and Aldi, plus smaller local supermarkets in the UK do have a limited choice of products. But this doesn't apply to Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury's superstores, as well as large Waitrose, Morrisons or M&S food halls. I'm not sure I can agree that fruit and vegetables in Polish supermarkets have a good quality. The choice and quality of cold meats are poor in the UK. Bread, bread rolls and pastries aren't great either. For that reason, I've been using my local French bakery / cafe for years.
How does Poland still have their own currency (Polish zlota), despite being part of the Shengen zone? Isn't it a requirement to adopt the euro as currency? 🤨
@@ereeekaleso9586 that's smart on Poland's side. The politicians-traitors in my country have decided to end our national currency, despite the vast majority of the people are opposing it, we even gathered enough signs on a petition, fully in accordance with the law and the Constitution, so we can have a Referendum on the issue - but the traitorous (un)-Constitutional Court confirmed the decision of the Parliament to NOT allow the Referendum to take place.
EU states are required to adopt the Euro “eventually”, but there’s a default clause that allows them to delay that until it’s politically convenient. Thankfully Poland is big enough to survive without the Euro, unlike smaller states like Lithuania.
Well, if somebody had told me in the 80's there would be such shops in Poland, I wouldn't have believed. Ok, the shop is French but the vast part of products is Polish, as far as food is concerned. But then again. If I want to buy some specific wines there are only available varieties like: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz, Pinot Noir, Tempranillo, Malbec from Argentina and of course this sweetish jammy Primitivo/Zinfandel. That's for red wines. White wines? Only Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Gris and that's it. Sangiovese or Petit Verdot from Argentina? No. Chenin Blanc from California? No way. Tannat from Uruguay, maybe two specialised shops. But you go to Hedonism wines in London you have a great choice of different wines. It depends on your preferences and what you want. But the quality of food in Poland is definitely better than in Germany. Still not so many chemical ingredients like in Germany where I always get some heartburn from that stuff.
You have no idea what I'm talking about. In British supermarkets you can find amazing wines. Forget to find them in Polish or German supermarkets. The same, what I wrote about, applies for wine shops, even specialised ones, in Poland. Try to find anywhere in Poland Californian Sangiovese wines or Argentinian Sangiovese wines. Or Californian Chenin Blanc or Argentinian Chenin Blanc. Or from Oregon which is anything else than Chardonnay or Pinot Noir. No chance. Germany is a bit better off here. Even better Czechia. After Tesco left Poland you can hardly buy any interesting wines except all these boring ones from the well beaten path.
How can you compare the Slavic beauty of Polish women to the beauty of English women? There is no comparison here. I'm even more surprised that you're Polish. 🤔
Ja mieszkam w USA, dla mnie ten supermarket wygląda jak u nas więc specjalnie mnie to nie dziwi. Krakow to jest duże miasto. czy w mniejszych miastach też jest taki wybór?
A jak z jakością tego jedzenia w USA? W PL mniejszych miastach są również świetnie zaopatrzone supermarkety, z prawdziwym nabiałem, warzywami i mięsem.

I'm an old polish-american man. A few years ago I watched similar vlogs made by Russian, Belarusian and Ukrainian matrons. They admired Polish supermarkets and were shocked at how well people could live. I have never expected in my entire life such a reaction from someone coming from the United Kingdom. What just happened here?
Po prostu w Polsce jest normalnie...Czysto,bogato.Ceny niestety wysokie.Ale można nadal kupić bardzo dobrą żywność,nie w markecie tylko z małych gospodarstw.
I also like Carrefour, L'Eclerc.. U forgot to tell in these shops u can even buy suitcases..cloths...washing machine...bicycle , gym equipment, shoes, hair dryers...there is garden section etc. There is BIO section where all products r organic . Similar shops r in France..Austria..Germany..Middle East. I cant comprehend why UK hasnt and even Waitrose M&S is poor ( often gaps on shelves) to compare other shops abroad.🤦
Auchan is French. And honestly, they were much better like 10 years ago, now they deteriorated. They look nicer now but product selection is lower, groceries quality is down and prices are up.
The selection of cheeses and dairy products is vast, but be aware that the variety of producers and products has significantly decreased over the last 15 years. Big fish eat the smaller ones, and this trend will ultimately be detrimental to consumers.
I agree there are better choices in Polish supermarkets BUT Poland has a way to go before it can be considered a great place for cheese. Polish cheeses are mainly soft cream or cottage cheese which is fine. Recently they make nice hard cheeses but they need to improve the variety of cheese. At present that accolade is still held by France
I agree, we got wonderful choice of sausages, but not cheese! I haven't been in France but I tried a great selection in England actually;) -Farmshop in Cumbria, and that was 90% English ones
Nice country but I don't like the neighbours to the East very much. The problem with UK supermarkets is often due to a lack of land which means smaller units and less choice. However the UK is much more advanced in e commerce and there is plenty of choice online and we have M&S and Waitrose.
Każda duża sieciówka w Polsce ma zakupy przez internet. Są dwie opcje: odbierasz spakowany towar w sklepie lub dowożą do domu. Kupując np. buty, ubrania w Polsce przez internet też masz dwie możliwości :) jak ci nie odpowiadają to oddajesz je do wskazanego sklepu lub odsyłasz.

People think that Poland must be poor because Poles left en masse in the 2000s for the UK. However, they do not realize that to a large extent, people who left had financial or legal problems. In addition, Poland has developed a lot in the last 25 years. Now the British have cognitive dissonance when they fly to Poland xD.
Ridiculous, there are loads of different cheeses in the UK, regional and European. As for meats, Poland is limited in mainly pork and chicken available, the UK has many more choices, beef and lamb products are common, whereas in Poland I struggle to find lamb and beef on the bone. However I must say Polish sausage, kiełbasa is pyszne!
You can buy frozen ducks, geese, guinea fowl without any problems. Deer sausage, wild boar sausages are generally available, only premium products - you won't buy them in a local store. Whole country/farm chickens - very high quality are always available. And sheep are almost never bred in Poland, so lamb is expensive.
Thats absolutly true what yo say. the product range in UK & NL & Belgium are very limited. when i go to East europe or Russia can find huge product range due to the reason of parallel imports . ln Belgium beers /chooclates are limited to the belgian producers and maybe 5% of it are from germany, uk. I cannot find many ciders are available in many eastern european countries. I was unable to find italian chocolates like BACI or Swiss chocolates, for example. and i can name almost any product under the sun which is very limit of choice tops 2-5 brands to choose from while in East Europe/Russia/and the rest of the world there are at least 10-30 variety of each sort. I don't know why but its suspicious.
I am native Russian, live 20 years in Austria. And I do not miss anything in Austria. The more choice the more confusion. I do not need 30 sorts of cheddar cheese, 3-5 are enough. A big variety does not mean automatically better quality. Food quality standards in Austria or Germany are better than in Russia. Concerning Poland - I like this country and its food.
@NGeo-ci3qj yes I understand. The issue is the purchase power parity. I really think that it's low in Russia. And don't forget that the pensions are x10 times higher in Austria than Russia.
Too much of a good thing . I don' t like hiper markets like this one, polish people prefer discounts like biedronka with large selection but without exaggeration.

That supermarket looked amazing. However i prefer the UK supermarkets compared to the ones i have been to in Norway, Sweden, and Spain. I thought the choice was limited. They were not bad stores but not as good as the UK. Also i prefer limited choice as i would spend ages deciding which brand or size to get.i would be in there all day.😂 Merry Xmas
If your so indignant at the lack of choice of produce in the multinational chain shops, why don't you support local business & buy from them? I know... too busy..blah blah.
I feel that with food ,quality is far more important that quantity of choice. If most products are full of preservatives it does it really matter how much choice there is. How many people read what those products contain ? For instance British cheese can be matured for 18 months with natural bacteria, but Polish one has added chemicals to speed up the process. Everything is reflected in the price. I love organic British food. You get what you pay for. M&S, Waitrose one of good choices, not to mention Harrods food hall and Fortnum & Mason in London. The choice is great, you just need more money. Merry Christmas.
I shop at waitrose and M&S from lack of choices back in the UK and as an everyday grocery shopping they don’t have great quality nor quality of produce compared to a random grocery store in Poland or France. That says a lot.
Good point...alot of the stuff she was showing like the so called Nut milk..is full of chemicals....depends where you are shopping in the UK too....Aldi and Lidl have renovated their stores .,you got to remember the UK had supermarkets long before Poland so of course the infrastructure can be tired looking.... again depends on the supermarket.....personally I shop at local farms where the food is fresh and local....I'm not interested in Arlas dairy products full of untested chemicals..Though I agree with her on the lighting issue.....My local M&S could certainly improve their lighting....
Polish food quality is much superior to the UK. Proof - you should read carefully food labels in Tesco, Waitrose, M&S etc. You could be shocked to discover that more than 90% of it was processed and contain strange chemical substances within. You have mentioned cheese. Believe me when you read 100 labels in the Polish supermarket all of 100 kinds of cheese were made from milk and contain no artificial preservatives. Not every kind od cheese must be kept to mature so long. I love 9 years old Parmeggiano but for instance ricotta which I also love cannot doesn’t need similar process .You can also buy plethora of French,Italian and Greek products thanks to EU market. Many more than in the UK not to mention cheaper . There is also another problem which is common all around the world which is pre- packed and wrapped in plastic food . This is no go zone. The solution is easy and called small local markets which offer good quality meat and meat products as well as fruits and vegetables. The best example are UK supermarket apples which look perfect on the day you buy them and after one year from purchase ( that was my experience). Fruits or veges in Poland (even from the supermarkets) usually get rotten within week or two from purchase if you do not eat them. If it comes to Harrods I consider that kind of food as a overpriced rubbish (most of it). Just wonder if their salmon is wild or farmed? And so on. Some of their food is up to English taste and sorry for saying that uneatable by the most of Europeans. Sorry. As for organic - again not so sure how organic is that food. All packed in tiny wee plastic boxes and foil. Plastic microparticles go along your blood stream into your brain and staying there until the end of your life cause brain cannot clean itself. Not to mention food preparation.
Yeah, but tuned to the polish demographics and the polish market or consumers if you will. So do you think that the same supermarket, owned by the same people but in France, would look the same like in Poland? I don’t think so. The same as Aldi stores are inferior in USA.
Interesting comment. So let’s see: UK flagship Tesco - partially american (The Vanguard Group). Sainsbury’s - Quatarian Investment Group, Czech owned Luxembourg Investment Group, and only partially UK/Pakistani investment group. Morrisson’s - american equity fund Clayton, Dubilier &Rice Aldi - german company Albrecht Discounts Lidl - german Schwartz Group So essentially oly Iceland, Waitrose and Coop are actually british. Arguments that a given network is not local capital sound silly these days, when capitals flow freely around the globe. What matters is that in this „french supermarket” in Poland you buy plentitude of good quality Polish food.
@@jurekwoszczynski472 First part is pointless - by pointing all these you just confirm that this one is not Polish. And about Polish suppliers - we all know they are more or less "abused" by chains and forced to sell them as cheap as possible. So yeah - products can be local, but majority of income goes abroad. Still: this is not Polish supermarket. Simple as that.
Low quality products in nice packaging - try some real foods for a change. And English cheeses are way better - why was my comment deleted , where I explained why?
I wonder what would be the reaction of people in Poland in 1980s, if someone told them that one day there will be people coming here from London and saying that the shopping here is better

In addition, the very idea of hypermarkets is constantly attacked by smaller supermarkets, such as Lidl, Biedronka, Carefour Market, Simply (a sub-brand of the Auchan chain) and others, as well as slightly larger semi-wholesale stores Sell-Gross and Macro. And for the lazy and the busy, there is also online sales. I live in Warsaw and I do most of my grocery shopping in small shops located no further than 500 meters from my home. Theoretically, it is a bit more expensive here. However, thanks to this, I was able to give up my car, which is a significant saving, especially since the pandemic, when I work from home half the time.

It used to be feta cheese until UE pass a law about local products and Greeks received a recognition feta cheese as local to Greece product.
It's available in many Polish shops. Mlekovita, the producer, is one of the biggest diary brands in Poland.
Ale nie nauczyliśmy się jeszcze robić fety. Porównaj fetę grecką (dostępna) z polską.Nie wspomnę że feta z wiadra np na Krecie to jeszcze absolutnie inne i lepsze doznanie. Ale też sa inne przykłady. Kiełbasa w Polsce to inny swiat niz np w UK. Ostatnio widziałem program kultowego kucharza angielskiego który przyrządzał danie na bazie kiełbasy i i na początku poinformował ze po kiełbasę udał się oczywiście do polskich delikatesów.
Mlekovita Feta is a long cry from the superior Greek Feta . That's why we have EU standards . Enjoy your feta .
yes, here in the UK they have to call it ''Greek Salad Cheese '' or something similar if it's not made in Greece
Przy czym należy podkreślić, ze ser z mlekowity nie jest serem podobnym do Feta. jest serem miękkim. Sprawdziłęm go w sałatkach. Jest nieporównywalnie lepszym serem od feta. Po wymieszaniu z mieszanką sałat tworzy coś w rodzaju sosu. Sałatka nie potrzebuje soli no może odrobinę.
@@robertrojko8264 Zgadza się. Moim jedynym zarzutem jest brak mniejszych opakowań lub innego sposobu pakowania. Zbyt często cała paczka to za dużo do jednej sałatki, a otwarty wysycha i do niczego się więcej nie nadaje.

Make no mistake, it is a big mall in one of biggest cities in Poland. In smaller cities shops are much more modest. Also, Auchan is a bit "upper shelf". If you'd go to "Biedronka" market you would shudder. It's cheap to shop there, but don't expect much more than that.

I kind of miss them.

I'm a bit confused here. As a UK expat living most of my life in Germany my finding is that UK supermarkets (I've only ever been to Tesco, Morrison(S)? Sainsburys and Asda), and they are all very bright i.e. well lit and neat and tidy. Where are the dull ones you have been to? The only ones I can imaging that might be less well lit would be much older ones. You'll find substantially less well lit supermarkets here in (supposed high tech) Germany.

In U.S.A , California, choices and quality is very limited , BUT prices x4 fold.
Nonsense. I live in California for the last 42 years. You simply do not know where to go.
The Uk supermarkets are stuck in a 1970's time warp. Overcrowded and offer less choice.
Good- I like to be stuck
Depends where. The higher-end stores in richer cities are nicer in the UK. But they’re certainly more cramped than in Poland.
British supermarket are slowly improving. Its possible to have several types of coffee without said produce taking up an entire aisle. But the quality is getting worse. Fresh produce such as fresh fruit & veg are out of date and about to go over when being sold. Everything is overpriced.
@y0uw0tm8-t9g - Too true! Some of the out-of-town Biedronka stores are roomy and modern but most are cramped and chaotic.
Best thing about Biedronka is the prices. The fruit & veg is general good as well.
@y0uw0tm8-t9g - A few of the Biedronka stores in Warsaw aren’t so bad. As for Tesco in the UK, I’d agree most are far better than your average Biedronka, but my heart skips a beat when I see the high prices and all the pandering to every possible “social justice” issue 🤮🤮🤮. Sainsbury and Waitrose are even worse in terms of prices.
One of the largest supermarkets in Europe is Tesco Extra in Pitsea Basildon. It is 185000 square feet, just beating the one in Manchester which has 63 aisles. Maybe it's just where you are living where you can't find many options.

It's funny you used the phrase "yellow cheese"! Do you know it is known only in Poland? It comes from the times when there were two types of cheese: white and yellow.
Poles build supermarkets just like they imagine supermarkets in the "West". They try to build everything this way and, for example, they think that broadband Internet access is a standard in the "West". Postcolonial thinking sometimes gives surprising results :P
The play area for children are only in some, usually in the bigger malls, and quite often they are also paid.

unfortunately, but in Poland we have a consumer market. If you want to buy high quality products, you have to immediately reject all discount stores, i.e. Lidl, Biedronka, Auchan and other well-known foreign chains. The best quality food and a large selection of good food is in delicatessens such as Frac, Centrum, Społem and many other local chains. The food is much better.

A supermarket and a shopping mall are two different things. It isn't common for a Polish supermarket to have a children's play area. Lidl and Aldi, plus smaller local supermarkets in the UK do have a limited choice of products. But this doesn't apply to Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury's superstores, as well as large Waitrose, Morrisons or M&S food halls. I'm not sure I can agree that fruit and vegetables in Polish supermarkets have a good quality. The choice and quality of cold meats are poor in the UK. Bread, bread rolls and pastries aren't great either. For that reason, I've been using my local French bakery / cafe for years.

EU states are required to adopt the Euro “eventually”, but there’s a default clause that allows them to delay that until it’s politically convenient. Thankfully Poland is big enough to survive without the Euro, unlike smaller states like Lithuania.

Well, if somebody had told me in the 80's there would be such shops in Poland, I wouldn't have believed. Ok, the shop is French but the vast part of products is Polish, as far as food is concerned. But then again. If I want to buy some specific wines there are only available varieties like: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz, Pinot Noir, Tempranillo, Malbec from Argentina and of course this sweetish jammy Primitivo/Zinfandel. That's for red wines. White wines? Only Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Gris and that's it. Sangiovese or Petit Verdot from Argentina? No. Chenin Blanc from California? No way. Tannat from Uruguay, maybe two specialised shops. But you go to Hedonism wines in London you have a great choice of different wines. It depends on your preferences and what you want. But the quality of food in Poland is definitely better than in Germany. Still not so many chemical ingredients like in Germany where I always get some heartburn from that stuff.
You need to go to a wine shop, not just a supermarket. In the specialist wine/off duty store you can get any alcoholic drink from all over the world
You have no idea what I'm talking about. In British supermarkets you can find amazing wines. Forget to find them in Polish or German supermarkets. The same, what I wrote about, applies for wine shops, even specialised ones, in Poland. Try to find anywhere in Poland Californian Sangiovese wines or Argentinian Sangiovese wines. Or Californian Chenin Blanc or Argentinian Chenin Blanc. Or from Oregon which is anything else than Chardonnay or Pinot Noir. No chance. Germany is a bit better off here. Even better Czechia. After Tesco left Poland you can hardly buy any interesting wines except all these boring ones from the well beaten path.
Best all over the world. Qualitet

@droolisonly1 jest do 7 dni.
@droolisonly1 zwracalem w brytyjakim Lidlu product elektryczny do 28 dni a wpolskim Lidlu do 7 dni. Poza tym te same towary w polskim Lidlu SA drozsze niz w brytyjakim . Nawet witaminy c jest mniej w pastylce w Polsce.
People think that Poland must be poor because Poles left en masse in the 2000s for the UK. However, they do not realize that to a large extent, people who left had financial or legal problems. In addition, Poland has developed a lot in the last 25 years. Now the British have cognitive dissonance when they fly to Poland xD.
Szkoda że akurat Auchan, sieć która nadal robi biznes z Rosją. Unikam jak ognia
Ridiculous, there are loads of different cheeses in the UK, regional and European.
As for meats, Poland is limited in mainly pork and chicken available, the UK has many more choices, beef and lamb products are common, whereas in Poland I struggle to find lamb and beef on the bone.
However I must say Polish sausage, kiełbasa is pyszne!
Meats in UK have alot of chemical in good like to be healthy
You can buy frozen ducks, geese, guinea fowl without any problems. Deer sausage, wild boar sausages are generally available, only premium products - you won't buy them in a local store. Whole country/farm chickens - very high quality are always available. And sheep are almost never bred in Poland, so lamb is expensive.
@robertrobski1013
I think your getting confused with America.
British beef and lamb is regarded the best in the world.

In Poland is 1000000 % better than England
Thats absolutly true what yo say. the product range in UK & NL & Belgium are very limited. when i go to East europe or Russia can find huge product range due to the reason of parallel imports . ln Belgium beers /chooclates are limited to the belgian producers and maybe 5% of it are from germany, uk. I cannot find many ciders are available in many eastern european countries. I was unable to find italian chocolates like BACI or Swiss chocolates, for example. and i can name almost any product under the sun which is very limit of choice tops 2-5 brands to choose from while in East Europe/Russia/and the rest of the world there are at least 10-30 variety of each sort. I don't know why but its suspicious.
I am native Russian, live 20 years in Austria. And I do not miss anything in Austria. The more choice the more confusion. I do not need 30 sorts of cheddar cheese, 3-5 are enough. A big variety does not mean automatically better quality. Food quality standards in Austria or Germany are better than in Russia. Concerning Poland - I like this country and its food.
@NGeo-ci3qj yes I understand. The issue is the purchase power parity. I really think that it's low in Russia. And don't forget that the pensions are x10 times higher in Austria than Russia.
Too much of a good thing . I don' t like hiper markets like this one, polish people prefer discounts like biedronka with large selection but without exaggeration.
jakosc i roznorodnosc produktow w duzych supermarketach w Polsce jest nieosiagalna dla supermarketow w nienczech itp. marketach eurokolchozu. W prownaniu z zakupami w kraju mamy tu badziewie za drogie euro i nic wiecej. No moze jeszcze to, ze czlowiek czuje sie na zakupach permanentnie oszukiwany i takze lekcewazony,
W Polsce kupuje zawsze na zapas, jesli juz tam jestem. i jesli na polce widze mi znane na codzien swinstwo -nomijam
That supermarket looked amazing. However i prefer the UK supermarkets compared to the ones i have been to in Norway, Sweden, and Spain. I thought the choice was limited. They were not bad stores but not as good as the UK.
Also i prefer limited choice as i would spend ages deciding which brand or size to get.i would be in there all day.😂
Merry Xmas
Are you a movie star?
If your so indignant at the lack of choice of produce in the multinational chain shops, why don't you support local business & buy from them? I know... too busy..blah blah.
I feel that with food ,quality is far more important that quantity of choice. If most products are full of preservatives it does it really matter how much choice there is. How many people read what those products contain ? For instance British cheese can be matured for 18 months with natural bacteria, but Polish one has added chemicals to speed up the process. Everything is reflected in the price. I love organic British food. You get what you pay for. M&S, Waitrose one of good choices, not to mention Harrods food hall and Fortnum & Mason in London. The choice is great, you just need more money. Merry Christmas.
I shop at waitrose and M&S from lack of choices back in the UK and as an everyday grocery shopping they don’t have great quality nor quality of produce compared to a random grocery store in Poland or France. That says a lot.
Apparently you know absolutely nothing about the quality of Polish food in stores.
Yeh, and famous cheddar has natural yellow colour... after adding natural yellow colourant.
Good point...alot of the stuff she was showing like the so called Nut milk..is full of chemicals....depends where you are shopping in the UK too....Aldi and Lidl have renovated their stores .,you got to remember the UK had supermarkets long before Poland so of course the infrastructure can be tired looking.... again depends on the supermarket.....personally I shop at local farms where the food is fresh and local....I'm not interested in Arlas dairy products full of untested chemicals..Though I agree with her on the lighting issue.....My local M&S could certainly improve their lighting....
Polish food quality is much superior to the UK. Proof - you should read carefully food labels in Tesco, Waitrose, M&S etc. You could be shocked to discover that more than 90% of it was processed and contain strange chemical substances within. You have mentioned cheese. Believe me when you read 100 labels in the Polish supermarket all of 100 kinds of cheese were made from milk and contain no artificial preservatives. Not every kind od cheese must be kept to mature so long. I love 9 years old Parmeggiano but for instance ricotta which I also love cannot doesn’t need similar process .You can also buy plethora of French,Italian and Greek products thanks to EU market. Many more than in the UK not to mention cheaper . There is also another problem which is common all around the world which is pre- packed and wrapped in plastic food . This is no go zone. The solution is easy and called small local markets which offer good quality meat and meat products as well as fruits and vegetables. The best example are UK supermarket apples which look perfect on the day you buy them and after one year from purchase ( that was my experience). Fruits or veges in Poland (even from the supermarkets) usually get rotten within week or two from purchase if you do not eat them. If it comes to Harrods I consider that kind of food as a overpriced rubbish (most of it). Just wonder if their salmon is wild or farmed? And so on. Some of their food is up to English taste and sorry for saying that uneatable by the most of Europeans. Sorry. As for organic - again not so sure how organic is that food. All packed in tiny wee plastic boxes and foil. Plastic microparticles go along your blood stream into your brain and staying there until the end of your life cause brain cannot clean itself. Not to mention food preparation.

Why there is no more Christmas fair only winter fair in London ? Are English afraid of using word CHRISTMAS ? What is wrong wit you Britain?
Spacious?! You need to visit Lidl then, with pallets everywhere. I'd recommend to visit local ones too, like Biedronka
So basically you`re in French supermarket in Poland.
Exactly. I had the same thought. 😆😂
Yeah, but tuned to the polish demographics and the polish market or consumers if you will. So do you think that the same supermarket, owned by the same people but in France, would look the same like in Poland? I don’t think so. The same as Aldi stores are inferior in USA.
@@GregoryHunt-w8gWho cares? Money goes to France so for us it is French.
Interesting comment. So let’s see:
UK flagship Tesco - partially american (The Vanguard Group).
Sainsbury’s - Quatarian Investment Group, Czech owned Luxembourg Investment Group, and only partially UK/Pakistani investment group.
Morrisson’s - american equity fund Clayton, Dubilier &Rice
Aldi - german company Albrecht Discounts
Lidl - german Schwartz Group
So essentially oly Iceland, Waitrose and Coop are actually british.
Arguments that a given network is not local capital sound silly these days, when capitals flow freely around the globe. What matters is that in this „french supermarket” in Poland you buy plentitude of good quality Polish food.
@@jurekwoszczynski472 First part is pointless - by pointing all these you just confirm that this one is not Polish. And about Polish suppliers - we all know they are more or less "abused" by chains and forced to sell them as cheap as possible. So yeah - products can be local, but majority of income goes abroad. Still: this is not Polish supermarket. Simple as that.
Low quality products in nice packaging - try some real foods for a change. And English cheeses are way better - why was my comment deleted , where I explained why?
