Nah... Just kidding. I'm in Reading, UK again this week.

Today's "find a place for dinner" mission needed a little more thought given last night's disaster with Mexican cuisine. Because my hindsight is ever so powerful, I was able to assess my mistake simply by making the observation that the Mexican community is mostly non-existant here, at least from where I'm sitting. It should have been obvious that the chances of finding a great Mexican restaurant were slim.

Armed with that knowledge and the fact that I've run into more Polish people that I can count, I quickly came to the conclusion that Polish cuisine might be a good bet. Google helped out and suggested I try Gospoda. Gospoda sits in the middle of what looks to be a run-down Polish community, one that reminds me of Chicago's "Polska dzielnica". What I do remember about the Polish community in Chicago was the great food and hospitality. Would Gospoda up my record to .500?

My Polish is still good enough to read this menu, but after a discussion with a guy at the bar (half English, half Polish), I realized that they serve much more than what you see here.

Best Flaczki I've had in a long time, maybe ever.  Sorry Mom.

The Schabowy Kotlet was also great, but I'm not ready to give it the top prize.

All-in-all, a much better effort tonight. Some may be offended by the cash-only service, but me being a Pole myself I know that there isn't one on the planet that likes to pay taxes.

Tomorrow is my last night I'll have to do Indian.  You can't come to the UK and not have Indian food, that much I know. .667 is a good record for three days work.
