I am not sure whether I wrote about it but Oscypek was certified as a Polish cheese Oscypek by EU a couple of weeks ago. Also Slovak can have their "oscypek" but with a bit different name here is more about oscypek, its picure: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscypek

Well...I don't know about delicious, Jaga You all know that my Polish is almost nonexistent, and sometimes I am not very good about reading guidebooks... Well...When I first saw them at the Dominican Fair in Gadansk, thought the Oscypek were cute little bread rolls I bought a nice quantity of them believeing they would be good snacks! I was puzzled at how expensive they were and how heavy they were to carry. So, I tucked them away in my backpack waiting for the hunger pangs. Fortunately, there was no one around when I did break one open! Then I realized this was not bread, but "the famous sheep's milk cheese!" The smell alone (sensitive nose) was almost enough to make me faint! The Oscypek were left in the nice clean refrigerator in a nice hotel room. I hope whoever found them (the housekeeper?) enjoyed them! GM PS I don't especially like feta cheese or the German cream cheese made from sheep or goat's milk either.

Jaga, Never tried it but will on my next trip. Jim Jim, Oscypek is great - especially if you get it grilled and then smear a little raspberry jam (or something similar) on it. Yum!!!

The cheese was good. I bought plane and smoked, I liked the smoked the best. I did not try it with jelly.

I was afraid to bring back Slovak Bryzda (sp?) cheese. Since it was not pasturized I figured the Agriculture department would for bid it from being imported. Kai

I brought the the cake my relatives made for me back in an athletic bag. I figured it was nothing other then a piece of cake, and didn't declare it. If they gave me trouble about it, I was going to tell them it's nothing different then a candy bar or a donut. I'm sure that wouldn't have made any difference, but no way was I going to declare it or offer it up. In order to transport it, I put it in the athletic bag as a back pack: slipping my arm's through the handles and walking with it on my back.

Well...they "caught" my candy bars, coffee and tea...!
Asked me why I didn't declare them...I said I didn't consider candy "food."
I think it was a slow day for customs and they wanted to have some fun...
BTW, they let me keep my goodies!
