Which is exactly why I purchased Mushroom Soup (Zupa in Polish) at our local Polish deli yesterday -Have you tried a can of soup recently? A treat for me years ago would have been a can of Heinz Cream of Chicken soup with some bread & butter. Today? It’s like vaguely chicken-scented cold cream.
The health fascists have required the sugar, salt and fat content to be severely reduced, which automatically removes all but a vestige of flavour.
Now, when l prepare a Thermos of soup for a day’s shooting, l begin by adding to the saucepan a generous pinch of salt, plus pepper sauce (and other appropriate sauces) to taste.
I suspect that the soup sold in the Eastern European delis that have sprung up everywhere isn’t so hamstrung by these requirements. l must prepare a cribsheet of the Polish words for Cream of Chicken, tomato etc….

There is nothing like their homemade soup, full of a variety of fresh vegetables and spices, can't be beat!
I also buy their meats from the hot prepared food counter, Mr. R loves their lamb and roast beef because it's 'the good stuff' as he says.
I like the chicken and potato cheese pierogies.
I was told by our doctor that the Polish stores sell 'Voltaren' (cream for arthritis and muscle aches) at the stronger strength allowed in Europe and which is shipped from Europe - here in the USA it is only permitted in a lower strength.
