Thursday's photograph

I tired myself out yesterday because I was in the Polish shop near me with the translator on my phone. The phone was having a problem working out all these Polish/Russian/European languages. I had some specific items I was looking for. Pâté was one. I guessed which one it was from the container, but I needed to know what kind of Pâté, what was in it and the carbs. But the aisles are narrow (no one can pass in these aisles, so I go early so I am not annoying anyone), and the lighting is dingy. 

I had already looked up some Polish words for pâté at home before I went, but it never gave me this version. 

The phone translates it to 'Tasty Pee'....'Tasty Pee with mushroom'...

I bought half a dozen different varieties of 'Tasty Pee'. They weren't expensive, one was 49p the rest 69p. And I can check better at home what the ingredients are in them. The cats can have them if I am entirely put off... The tiny writing of ingredients needs a powerful magnifying glass and a bright light...

I am afraid my stomach is still turning at that name, but once I have figured out the actual ingredients, if Google Translate gets its bum in gear, then my stomach might settle...or not...

Surrounding 'Tasty Pee', was dozens and dozens and dozens of jars of every description  of minced pig brains...

When I was 17 years old, a Polish guy I knew used to make bowls of these pig brains. He gave me a bowl to take home. My stomach churned then, and I still recall that feeling. The bowl of pig brains never got as far my kitchen...

Creative photo for today. I have a fan which makes me think of an old wartime aeroplane. So I played with it in Snapseed, and half an hour later...

UPDATE on the Polish pâté...
I have been using my phone camera to translate.
I have just been trying to translate now on the 49p one.
And it told me 'RAT' was in the ingredients...
I am pretty certain there would not be rat in this. So I had to find the Polish word for rat, and there is no rat labelled in this.
To be fair to Google translate it is tiny writing on a rough surface foil lid, written in a circle all round the edge. This pâté was 49p, has a best before date of 12/23, so it is worth the time to key in each word manually, and then I will try it. And go and buy the other half dozen left in the Polish shop for a food cupboard back up.

It does appear to have chicken and liver in the ingredients, but other meats too.

Ah, just found this same one online. Gives me list of ingredients in English, the easy way. Phew! It is basically chicken liver, but has other meats in it. Apparently it is very good, but is best in the fridge for a few days before eating, in order to develop the flavour more...
