One of the guys discovered this place and gave it a thumbs up. Guess I will have to go exploring this weekend. WARSAW DELI, Polish and Hungarian food, 11844 U.S. 19 (southeast corner of U.S. 19 and State Road 52), Bayonet Point. Open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays. Phone (727) 863-9199. Owner Mira Sienkiewicz opened the Warsaw Deli in 2005 a few doors down from Raymond's Italian Grill. Its rows of sausages, przetwory (food in jars and cans), pieczywa (breads) on Tuesdays and Thursdays, slodycze (sweets) and other Polish and Hungarian favorites fill a niche for locals who like something different and for central European transplants longing for original home foods. The refrigerator near the front has Kefir, a cultured, enzyme-rich milk sometimes called the "body ecology" food, as well as the dishes prepared in the on-site kitchen for takeout. The tiny deli/store is often filled with customers speaking Polish, a sign that the local Polish community has found and approves of the place. Two Polish favorites frequently in the refrigerator case are golabki (cabbage rolls filled with densely packed meat) at $3.90 a pound, and salatka (a pickled herring salad with slivered carrots, yellow corn, chopped hard-boiled eggs, sweet onions and large chunks of pickled herring in a white creamy sauce) for $4.90 a pint. For those who read Polish, the Warsaw Deli has a Web site: echoflorydy.com/WarsawDeli.html

I would never have thought there was a Polish community in FL. Well, definitely let us know what it's like if you go!

I would never have thought there was a Polish community in FL. Well, definitely let us know what it's like if you go! I think there is a pretty good community in FLA. I know several people in different parts of Florida who have polish stores in the area, or liquor stores. I wandered into a liquor store in Ft. Lauderdale once and on the front door there was a sign that read: "Czy mowisz po polsku?" Decided I was in the right place.

Chris, Actually there is a large Polish presence here in Florida. I did some more looking around and found out that there are several Polish Skleps around. I did know about the one on 49th Ave & 49th Street but I didn't know about the others. Take a look at the others if you want at: www.echoflorydy.com/files/sklepy.htm
