mojomonkey Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Where do you get this stuff from? If its true do you have a problem with this? More variety in food and shops sounds like good news to me. I'm not religious myself but I see no problem with people having access to their own priest.

mojomonkey Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I don't think a shop can be racist. Is a fishmongers offensive to butchers? The more variety the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Kerr Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I've got no problem with this, except, if someone wanted to set up a shop only selling British foods and no food coming from other countries, wouldn't it be classed as racist, it seems like more positive discrimination to me that you can have Chinese supermarkets etc. I can't really see where MCB is coming from (actually I can and its not nice to suggest that we should be worried about this. Worried about what?). If there are enough people here to justify them setting up a shop then good look to them. Personally there is nothing about Eastern European food that would tempt me through the front door. Most seem to feature bread, meat and potatoes in some form or another. If I was living somewhere else I'd want to buy decent food from Tesco's rather than what's on offer in Poland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojomonkey Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I'd be willing to give a try but some of the recipes on those websites sound fairly nasty. I've tried the local food in places such as the Czech Republic and Latvia and have found it pretty awful. Like Juan said lots of bread, meat and potatoes in some form or another.

Ean Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 It sounds cool, i think it's good if there becomes a wider range of specialised food stores. I see Robinsons SA food section is doing really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germann Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Decent food from Tesco? Eh?? Czech food is indeed pretty horrid. Polish food can be an acquired taste, but it isn't that far off our own 'spuds & herring'. And their beer is as good as anything from Germany and Czech Rep. Personally I would love there to be such a shop on the island, as long as the prices are also Polish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Power Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I know several Eastern Europeans including Czechs, Poles and Russians, and they all seem to have problems getting used to the type of food that we eat. Some of them get food sent from home from time to time. It's no different to the previous posters who say that they don't like Eastern European food. Where's the problem with a specialist shop? It adds to the variety available to everyone. As for a Polish priest, they are Christians after all, I dont see anyone complaining about the Mosque in Douglas and Islamic language being preached! Again what's the problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojomonkey Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I think we've worked out that there is no problem just a troll Manxchatterbox trying once again to make mountains out of molehills. I'd wager that they won't explain why they started this topic, he/she never does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahc Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 You mean like those supermarkets in southern Spain that sell English/German/Swedish food? Oh God forbid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sausages Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Will they be selling brass polish? I need some brass polish. To polish some brass that I have. Brass that needs polishing. Not bras. Brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
