Many thanks for the tips, I will look for them.
I didn't know, that the Polish beer is that kind of "international", resp. uninteresting. When I had made a vacation-trip to Poland in 2003, I've seen, that the Polish beers always have more alcohol than the German ones, always around 6%. Here 4,9% to 5,2% are usual.
Now I'm talking like my Swedish friends do. At beer they are always looking at first on the alcohol percentage.
For "historical" reasons I bought some "EB" there, because it's from Elblag/Elbing, where my father's family had lived until January 1945.
I thought a bit about Bigos, because I like the Polish style of the Sauerkraut. There is not that much vinegar inside like here. I hate vinegar...
(Yes, perhaps im not a typical German - I prefer Polish Sauerkraut and Czech beer
)
About Flaczki I must think a bit. Normally I don't like to eat giblets (if I recognize them), except the classic Scottish Haggis.
Is "Ptasie mleczko" similar to "Milky Way"?
Are Kamyki Brzeskie o.k.? I ask before, no that it's like the US-perversion to use salted! peanuts to put into sugar-cover or chocolate! Yuk!

Yes, polish beer usually have more alcohol than a western ones. But you can buy Zywiec, Warka, Tyskie or Lech - it's no matter - a taste is always the same
Ptasie mleczko is.. eh.. quite similiar to Milky Way but filling is more fluffy and ee.. 'schmackhafter'.
Kamyki brzeskie aren't salted, so don't worry
You could looking around for pierogi ruskie from Nordis for example. But you have to remember that my homemade pierogis are a lot, lot better than any commercial ones

@fck: do you know the book "Viva Polonia" of Steffen Möller? I'm just reading it, very interesting.
The guy seems to be real popular in Poland, in Germany he's totally unknown.
My next book will be "Fish and Fritz" ("as a German in the island"), how a German correspondent sees the British people and their mannerisms. Shall be good, too.
