They say that people change their taste every 7 years. I can agree. I eat a lot of things today which I prefered to keep away from years ago. Some things haven`t changed, though. I have never been able to eat meat or fish in jelly. Once my mum offered me a jelly chicken muffin as a child and I almost threw up. I associated jelly with sweets/dessert, not main course! So, when I buy salceson today, I do it for my father in law. Nobody else in our family wants it.       |

Chłodnik litewski, Lithuanian chilled soup is another thing I don`t eat. Soups must be hot, that is obvious, so eating cold one is a misunderstanding to me.  |

Most Poles share our view. I remember eating that cool soup as a child a few decades ago but later on I have never seen it anywhere. It is on the menu of quality restaurants but I am not sure about popular, cheap places. |

when I buy salceson today, I do it for my father in law. Nobody else in our family wants it. I'm not surprised, it is vile. I'm 100% sure this is the equivalent of what we call brawn. I was made to eat it as a child and no way will i touch it now. I cannot eat mashed or boiled potatoes either. Flaki ( tripe ) is a no-no too. Soups must be hot, that is obvious, so eating cold one is a misunderstanding to me. That wouldn't bother me, but eating hard bolied eggs in soup as in your picture, would. Why? They would go all mushy and disgusting  . It's why I wouldn't touch Żurek, so off-putting! Vichyssoise is lovely  |

I was made to eat it as a child and no way will i touch it now. You were definitely too well mannered a child. If I had been you, I would have pretended that I was going to throw up, then they would have left me alone. I cannot eat mashed or boiled potatoes either. Funny. How about boiled potatoes in soups? Why? They would go all mushy and disgusting . It's why I wouldn't touch Żurek, so off-putting! Nope, those eggs aren`t all mushy, only yokes get so when you play with them for too long. But if you put such a quarter or half an egg straight into your mouth, there is no chance for them to become soggy. Believe me. I checked the photos for that name and it seems this soup is very light, only veg. While my soups must be fatty to give me the feeling of fullness for a longer time. I mostly use the broil from boiling meat like fatty ham, ribs etc. If I ate such soup cold, I would get indigestion. Flaki ( tripe ) is a no-no too. I had thought the same until the day when I went to a communist sports camp where we had to canoe across a big lake for a few hours and then went to a local restaurant where the only dish of the lunchtime was tripe - I can assure you, you would gobble down your flaki and ask for another helping! : hahaha |

I would have pretended that I was going to throw up, then they would have left me alone. In my house that would not have had any effect. It would come back served up for breakfast the next day. You had no option but to eat it. I have been physically force-fed food. Then you have a tendency never to touch it again! How about boiled potatoes in soups? Nope! I don't really do potatoes! uarter or half an egg straight into your mouth, there is no chance for them to become soggy. I just don't think I could do it! I love boiled eggs too, just not in soup! you would gobble down your flaki and ask for another helping! I don't think so! I've only had tripe once. I was 16 and sharing a small flat with a friend. Her parents invited us for tea and I was quite excited because her parents were cattle farmers. I thought I was going to get a lovely roast beef dinner, but no, my friend said, we were having her favourite meal, tripe in milk gravy. It was served in large bowls, with crusty french stick. I was happy to dip the bread into the gravy but eventually it ran dry leaving the tripe at the bottom of the bowl. I ate one bit and it was like eating a globule of horrible slimy fat. I nearly threw up! I've never forgotten that meal! I've encountered it since when I had a Polish lodger years ago. He used to cook it and I would go out as I couldn't stand the smell! it seems this soup is very light, only veg. This is true, but have you never tried Russian Borscht which is served cold? I know Polish Barszcz is served hot, but thought you might have tried it cold at some point in your life. |

Yes, the smell is strong and my kids also dislike it. Cold Russian borsch? Do you mean chłodnik litewski? I talked about it a few posts above. |

Do you mean chłodnik litewski? No, as that is Lithuanian soup. I thought beetroot soup in Russia is always served cold. |

I thought beetroot soup in Russia is always served cold. I know sth about Russian cuisine but this one, cold or hot, is a mystery to me. |

Ok, it exists, indeed. But to me it is not soup - just a veg drink eaten from a bowl. Such dishes can be eaten cold as they don`t contain any fat - fatty cream doesn`t count. |

It is soup, but I get what you mean. I wouldn't want to eat fatty type soups made with meat, cold. You would end up with congealed looking soup with fat globules on the top . I am not sure if I would like Golonka. All these years I've tried loads of Polish dishes, but not that one. I'm not overly keen on offal either, unless it's kidneys. |

It looks fatty, but actually, if, after boiling, you seperate meat from the bone and take off that thick fatty skin , then it is just like other kinds of pork. I like it coz it is so deliciously soft if you boil it for 2-3 hours. Some people roast it additionally, but I never do. Besides, I think picking pieces of meat from that fatty wrapping is amusing.    |

I think picking pieces of meat from that fatty wrapping is amusing. But less amusing is picking the pieces out of your teeth! Actually,in the second picture it looks like it would be quite tasty, like a giant piece of rib. Strangely, none of my Polish friends cook this. Maybe they don't know what to look for in the UK. It looks like pork hock to me. Maybe the time spent cooking it is off-putting too, although there are many Polish dishes that take forever to make. I love Gołabki, but preparing the cabbage, cooking it to just the right texture and wrapping the parcels, is almost soul-destroying! |

I love Gołabki, but preparing the cabbage, cooking it to just the right texture and wrapping the parcels, is almost soul-destroying! But cooking golonka is almost effortless compared to gołąbki. You just need to put it in water, add herbs and some veg and boil it for 2-3 hours. That`s all. You can do other things in the meantime. |

So what would you serve with that effortless dish? I have the feeling you're going to say potatoes |

I thought this was a thread about foods you hated, not liked!  Is the pork for golonka fresh or smoked? It looks to me what my parents used to call smoked shoulder (they boiled it with cabbage, carrots and onions.) I never liked it, but they did. I wondered if it was a Polish dish that my father had eaten as a child and acquired a taste for. But, then again, my father like to eat everything...nothing was off-limits for him! |

In the heat of the discussion, I forget what the original idea behind the thread was. It is natural. Golonka meat is fresh, I haven`t seen smoked one, probably it would be too chewy, this kind of meat requires long boiling. Shoulder is another kind of pork, also tasty. I buy it when I want to have a change from golonka.   |
