I received a following e-mail. Can anybody help?
I have been a frequent visitor to your forums for years and have always enjoyed them. I am hoping that you will be able to help me in locating a store that sells Polish food items online. Every year we send Polish food items to my father-in-law in Florida which he enjoys thoroughly. We have always used Polana, however, we were wondering if you knew of any others that we could try, too!

Jaga,
I think this lady is looking for your own personal suggestions. Maybe you/we do not buy so much food online?
When I used Google, Polana came up in the first few choices (does this mean they are popular?) Lots of other choices these days, but I have not tried any of them.

I know plenty of on-line Polish supermarkets but I'm sure they don't export!

There are lots of stores in Toronto. Maybe she can do a Google of Polish food in Toronto. They are our main source to US here from what I see. I am lucky to have a great little store right here in my own neighborhood.

Good Morning,
Thanks so much for taking the time to answer and my apologies for being so late in responding. Right after I had sent my email to Jaga I broke my right ankle and since my computer is on a 2nd floor I wasn't able to climb the stairs to get to it!
My fil is blind and lives in mid-Florida. Every year we send Polish foods to him that we purchase from Polana. We usually send enough so that he has many meals that his aide freezes and heats up for him. This year I was hoping to find some TNT deli's or markets that do offer online shipping of their products. Unfortunately, we live out in the middle of no where here in Mid-Michigan and the closest market/deli that handles Polish, or any European foods, is over 2 hours away each way. So that is the reason why I am always having to purchase our foods online.
I was hoping to be able to check out Bobak's, but, their website said that they are not 'open' until the Holiday's. I tried sending an email to them but it was returned. If anyone has any other suggestions I would appreciate hearing them.
Thanks again!
Sandi

Sandi,
First - OUCH!!! just hearing about your ankle made mine ache.
Second where in Florida is your FIL? If anywhere near the Tampa area I might have a couple of suggestions.

Sandi...oh my sorry about the foot. I just came back from Pompano Beach and whe I was there I saw some advertisements for a Polish restaurants. To me that means there must be Poles near by and if that is the case then there has to be a store also. Maybe a Google search will come up with something. This will get you started. (and if they don't deliver then possibly the aide can pick it up. www.whiteeaglenews.com/index.php?inc=kolportazChris |
