I like the Taste of Polish Food and buy some from Time to Time.
Its OK with sausages,but Meat? Too much watered,just to get the Weight up and,… the higher Prise may be just the Transport from Poland to UK,when not more.
There is a Regulation which limts watering,but no one checking,i guess
Polish food is very nice, often very fresh as everyone of them has a small farm. Most poles i know avoid processed food and certainly the rubbish that folk eat here in Glasgow.

Bacon is injected with water in the same way, to increase the weight, that is why you need 3 rashers in a slice of nimble

The checker is a Polish guy !! 
Actually this might surprise you, but as far as I know Polish regulations allow much less water to be added than a British ones. There is also much stricter rule when it comes to adding chemicals to food in Poland than in Britain, and also there is better information required on the packaging.
Do you really think that they do not add water into the British products? If so, you are very naive.
The point is that most of the Polish stuff here in UK is rather cheapish ones, so don’t be surprises that you don’t get high quality product. Apart of that, what do you expect: you can buy 500g of polish “ham” for a price of few slices of “Tesco finest” and you are surprised that they add water to it? 
But this ham can be a good equivalent to the everyday local meat, and I for example buy a lot of Polish food not because it’s Polish, but because it’s better value for money.
I don’t expect it to be something extraordinary, I just expect it to be better than tesco “ham” while costing about the same, and if your approach is like that, it’s all right.
This:
is about the same price as this:
and if you tell me the latter is better, I would think that you have no sense of taste at all.
Off course, you can buy “no added water” British one, but the price is twice that.
Then, yes, most of the pre-packed stuff comes from Poland, but there is already plenty of local places who do Polsih food.
For example most of Polish sliced bread sold in UK supermarkets comes from some place near Manchester (but it’s crap) and there are few bakeries only in Scotland who do Polish food (there is one very good in Edinburgh for example).
There is also at least one Polish butcher in Glasgow and while you won’t find any of his stuff in the supermarkets, it is Glasgow stuff they have in the meat counters in all the Polish shops around. I tried a lot of it, and it’s really good for the money. And this is just “every day stuff” but you can go to them and order something special. My friends ordered a smoked ham for last Christmas, and believe me, it was really good (and still cheaper than some delicatessen range British stuff).
Moreover (don’t ask me how I know that) this Polish butcher sells his stuff to many of these “British family butcher” shop, so you can buy his stuff without even knowing that it’s “Polish”, but thenyou pay up to double the price for it compared to prices you can get it in Polish shops - only because they are not branded “Polish”

Cheap crap is cheap crap no matter where it comes from, and thats everywhere !!!

■■■■■■■■, my bad. I bought some Danish bacon this morning, much better than Tesco’s own but now I cannot eat it for fear of becoming racist. I wonder if I can get some Jewish bacon or Muslim pork instead

Folks in Glasgow don’t eat Rubbish 
Do you have Spell check that you got Rubbish right?

Yeah, I am also anty-muslim, as I don’t like couscous, and anti-semitic, as I prefer herring in tomatoes to herring jewish style 
Although the quality of the food may be high, I suspect the same thing cannot be said about the food preparation areas.

Well, that’s another proof of the higher standards. In Poland this activity is banned, and somehow I never saw this sign in Britain, therefore we can guess that it’s allowed here. I prefer not to think when the outcome of that activity goes if they do it in food factory
Poor choice betwen Polish meat and Tesco meat.
Jack Cohen and Dame Shirley are hardly the best advert for Pork are they?
I’ve got the answer, I wouldn’t touch either of those packets of formed crap with a bargepole. To be honest with that stuff your better off with the water, because the meat part is hideous.

Ah no, as is often said, the only part of a pig you cannot eat is the squeak.
