[Review] Polish Instant Noodles - amino kuchnia polska kwasnica po garalsku

I was really surprised to discover that you could get Polish instant noodles.
There are Asian style polish instant noodles but I chose the amino brand because the flavours were Polish like Sauerkraut, sour cucumber and beetroot.
These noodles cost around 39p to 59p at different stores and who would have guessed they have a whopping 14 flavours to choose from which makes them as competitive as Asian noodles.
It was mind blowing as I have not heard of these flavours but they are common dishes in Poland.

Tried the sauerkraut noodles (kwasnica po goralsku) first and I liked them because they were sour just like having saukeraut soup.
As for the broth, it was slightly thickened.
When you cook them, I don't recommend putting too much water so that the flavour will be stronger.





Next I tried the beetroot (barszcz czerwony) which turned out to be my favourite.
The broth had an intense beetroot taste along with majoram (oregano) so if you like beetroot borscht then it is just like that.







Then I tried the sour cucumber (ogorkowa) which was another one that I knew I was going to like.
As soon as I opened the broth sachet, I could smell the dill and gherkins just like the fish burger tartare sauce.
The sour cucumber noodles taste appetizing like the saukeraut noodles so it really depends on what you prefer so if you don't like dill then saukeraut is for you but personally I prefer the dill.






Since I was impressed with all these flavours, I ended up getting the spicy black pepper and the mushroom.
Initially I thought the mushroom was the usual but it appeared to be the best seller but I wonder if it is because it is vegetarian.
Anyway, I tried the mushroom (grzybowa) and the taste of the broth was interesting because you can seriously taste the earthy mushrooms but it was the taste of dehydrated mushrooms like the ones you get in instant mushroom soups which made the noodles memorable.





The spicy black pepper with chicken (Rosol pikantny) was the most agreeable one in the sense that it is a basic flavour that anyone wouldn't disagree with.



The pomidorowa (tomato) was the best tomato instant noodles I have had because the tomato had a nice tang to it and did not taste like artificial tomato soup like other brands.




Also tried the NEW Amino zupa blyskawiczna czosnkowa po slasku which is garlic and basically it was like instant noodles in garlic soup.




The rosol chicken one was quite nice and comforting if you like chicken noodle soup.

As well as Chicken (Rosol), there was also Rosol Zlocisty which is chicken with lovage herbs.
I loved this flavour because the lovage herb has a celery taste which is similar to Sainsburys vegetable instant noodles:






The Grochowka was also mind blowing because the broth was like starchy pureed pea with a smokey bacon flavour.



The Fasolowa was similar to the above, also with a smokey taste but with a different bean.







Last but not least is the Zurek po slasku which was really nice.
According to google, zurek is Sour Rye Soup which makes sense because I liked the sourness which made it appetizinga and the smokyness probably came from the sausages.







gulaszowa instant noodles:
Basically these noodles had a strong red bell pepper and beefy taste.

kurkowa po podlasku (chanterelle mushroom)
I'm so glad I popped in Mlecko. Just when I thought I tried all amino instant noodle flavours. There is a new chanterelle mushroom. Again, all good. Dill not included but was added. Still trying to get my hands on flaki and golden veg.





The complete 14 flavours:
