michael Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Asda is full of the stuff, is this the same all over the UK or are they catering for local demand? This isn't a bashing thread BTW, I like Polish meat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Lots of businesses are catering for your actual Polish. Even Plusnet's portal has a Polish area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 What exactly is Polish meat anyway? Do they have breeds of animals in Poland that exist nowhere else in the world or is it just porkski, baconski, beefski etc etcski? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian R Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Tends to be down to demographics. For example Bradford stores tend to sell alot of Halal foods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class One Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Tends to be down to demographics. For example Bradford stores tend to sell alot of Halal foods. I find that there is a disparity of lines in your store even locally. For example in Banbury their deli stuff is completely different to say Bicester, even though they are say 20 miles apart. There isn't alot of difference demographicaly between the two towns, there's probably a tad more burbery and tatoos in Banbury than Bicester but not much.

For the company I work for you would be amazed alot of info is given by clubcard. For example two stores in Worcester 5 miles apart have a different customer base. They are defined by types AA AB BB BA CC etc. Shows shopping habits AA tending to buy mostly finest products CC more value orientated the range in the store is then detimined around these factors.

michael Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 Even Plusnet's portal has a Polish area. I noticed that the other day. That's what you get for shopping in Asda I agree but it's closer than the others, branded items are cheaper than the local Tesco and Sainsbury's and I can do a decent shop without having to go elsewhere to fill the gaps. The only thing I miss is Tesco's deli lemon stuffed olives but they generally hide them at this time of night anyway despite it being a 24 hour store. What exactly is Polish meat anyway? Do they have breeds of animals in Poland that exist nowhere else in the world or is it just porkski, baconski, beefski etc etcski? Seems to be mainly smoked pork in various forms, nice enough. Tends to be down to demographics. For example Bradford stores tend to sell alot of Halal foods. I went into Bradford the other week to do a shop, heaps of "foreign" food to choose from, all quite interesting to look at and a lot cheaper for herbs, rice and fresh veg compared with Leeds.

Polish standard meat you would call in UK "Organic" and tend to pay 3x more then for "classic" ASDA argentinian beef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmx1lew Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 poland also supply allot of take away meat ie chickens as there farmed there and are only 40p for a full chicken, however they are injected with warter belive it or not when you go to a take away and order a chicken parmo the letus and cheese cost's more then your chicken. the other meat you get in your supermarket is well nice ie polish bread chicken are usually corn fed so they taste allot better and are more meaty, a good way to tell if you are getting quality corn fed chicken is to look at it when raw if it is yellow looking you know you have some well bread meat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konrad Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Again.... No, I'm serious, almost all food produced in Poland would be called "organic" here, because there is no big production farms in Poland, our law do not allow them to be built. Farmers tends to keep hundreds but not thousands of animals, also they have more place to farm animals. Polands bigger then England (322 575 km²) and there is less people living there (38 518 241). 40% of people living there are registered farmers, so i belive quality comes with experience. Food is cheap, because a lot of people producing it and labour costs are low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What u got against asda, bloody good company to work for they certainly know how to look after their colleagues, and customers. Well certainly do at our store prob why we just won no1 store in the company. As a reward all colleagues get paid day off and night out on the store plus wine chocs etc not many places do that anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
