Whole carp "morrisons"

[Greyman 28,785]

The fish for sale in supermarkets are farmed so I have no problem with it we farm salmon and trout for the table so crack on, I work with lots of poles in the care home and about 80% say carp is disgusting but they eat it as it’s tradition like most of us don’t eat turkey regular but at crimbo we are all over it, it’s just supply and demand but think it gets less and less as time goes on

I’ve eaten it on Christmas Day in Poland, cooked by my mates mum… It was actually very nice.

If you’re open to new things Google “ Polish Flaki” one of the best soups I’ve ever tasted.

One of the cleaners at work has just gone home for a week, I,ll get here to knock some up for me when she returns seems cooking and family gatherings are quite important to them, I actually get on better with the polish girls than most of the English we seem to appreciate many of the same simpler things in life

Every household/polish mum has their own recipie for flaki 

In fairness, all the food I ate in Poland was the bollocks but in saying that, I will eat anything

I have had carp before in UK and it was foul! Tasted like mud. Obviously they know how to clear that taste in Polska lol

Yep! In the old days in Poland they’d catch them wild and stick them in the bath for a few days lol

Aye, that’s exactly what I was told. They did it for crimbo. Probably some still do but it’s a common place thing in the fishmongers/supermarkets to have it now (purged that is).

I would honestly suggest if anyone is game, take a holiday in Poland. Great place, loads of historic places to visit and the people are on the norm, pretty warm hearted.
