Journalist: Tom, is it true that Polish food is now popular in
other countries, such as the UK?
Tom: Yes, a recent report shows that ten percent of British
people often buy Polish food. Large supermarkets now
sell a lot of Polish dishes such as cured sausages, beetroot
borsch, salted sticks and pickled cabbage. In London,
many shops only sell Polish food. There are also Polish
bakeries, so you can buy a loaf of Polish bread.
Journalist: Why are there so many places to buy
Polish food in the UK?
Tom: This is partly because many Polish people live in
the UK, but it is also because more and more British
people want to try something new. People thought that
Polish food was boring. However, they now know that
Polish food is healthy as well as tasty.
Journalist: Are there many Polish restaurants in the UK?
Tom: Quite a few. The Polish chain Mamuśka is very
popular with young people in London.
Journalist: Is it English or Polish people that usually
go to the restaurants?
Tom: The owner thought that most of his customers
would be Polish but, in fact, most of them are English.
The restaurants serve popular Polish dishes such as
dumplings and breaded pork with sauerkraut.
Journalist: Is food from other countries also popular?
Tom: Well, Brazilian food became very popular after
the 2016 Olympics in Rio, and experts think that
Japanese and Moroccan food will also become
very popular in the future.
