Polish is one of the most difficult languages to learn. Between the spelling, grammar and exceptions, it’s not only foreigners who have difficulty with Polish, but even native speakers.
The funny thing is when this company was started 6 years ago, we knew nothing about Polish beef. We knew what cuts of beef were called in English, but the Polish translation can be something special.
Keep in mind, that once you learn this list, you will know more than the typical Polish person.
Even your butcher may not know some of these.
One great example is hanger steak (one of our favorites when it comes to fajitas), also known as “Świeca” in Polish. This literally means “candle“, and people will undoubtedly give you a few confused looks.
Don’t doubt yourself!
This list is built with first-hand experience and years of being made fun of. That was until we learned every beef cut there is in Polish.
