Polish community in Liverpool

[john]

Happens everytime discussions get hijacked

Back to the thread, just had a quick goolge no polish yet, its a matter of time along with polish bars.
Shops are opening up everywhere shops are not being opened just by poles, but by english and asian businesspeople seeing a gap in the market.

Clever business enterprising people they are. Embrace, make friends and get rich whilst doing it. Seems sensible to me.

I have tried a Polish lager, the name i forget, which a old colleague (yep she was Polish) bought me a can of to settle which beer was nicer. Don't think it beats Red Stripe or Fosters but a bit better than Carling was my final verdict.

I could see a Polish restaurant opening very soon. Maybe in Hardman Street or Smithdown Road.

You are possibly right Hardman Street or Bold Street, there once a Russian restaurant in Bold Street did not last long.

There is Mexican, Greek, Indian, Chinese, Bangladeshi restaurants. even a Japanese one has opened up. Polish would definatley succeed amongst there community. I have tried a Polish Dish and was'nt to my fancy. Strictly steak and chips neanderthal i am .

In the Guardian Magazine today really good article on people behind the takeaways providing food from around the world in the UK.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/weekend/

Two stories are Ho Lee who owns the Saigon in Berry Street serving Vietnamese food 5.30 - 11.00 and then Chinese food after midnight and Sergi Kotcherine who owns St Petersburg, 7a York Street.
" There is a nightclub called Liverpool in St Petersburg, so why not open a Russian place in Liverpool?"

Another quote from Sergi
" Liverpool is like a phoneix rising from the dust, its growing like a baby. Its fantastic."

The Ho Lee part was quite depressing. I felt really sorry for this person.
"We get two types of customer. From 5.30pm to 11pm, educated people eat Vietnamese food and appreciate it. After midnight it's back to Chinese again. Later on, people - even students - make racist comments. It happens at least once a month. We just have to bite our lips. Even now we are struggling, but because Liverpool is capital of culture in 2008 we are hopeful it will change. If it doesn't work out, I'm thinking about going back to Vietnam. More than half my life has been here, but I still feel something is missing.

Asian culture is really close-knit, and my parents are old. I miss them. We have three children. My two young kids love Vietnam. The education here is much better - we sent them to a private school - but they have to stay locked up in the house after school because it's not safe. In Vietnam they could have a life outside."
