Not an entirely random name for a blog, but close. I am not a goat herder - in the usual meaning of that word; nor does the Urban Dictionary definition apply to me either (for a decade at least): an extremely drunk male who having lost all self-respect and standards, loses his powers of discrimination when pulling females. It is said that Gateshead derives its name from a settlement near an early Tyne crossing where goats once roamed. The goats are long gone, but me - I like to roam these parts - or rather run - exploring new places, rediscovering old ones in and around Gateshead and Newcastle when I'm out jogging. This blog is a collection of my photos, thoughts, observations, rants, loves and hates about Newcastle and Gateshead.

Malgosia's Polish shop Newcastle - Christmas Orders

Malgosia's Polish Supermarket in Newgate Centre, Newcastle, are taking orders for carp. Fried carp is one of the 12 traditional dishes on Christmas Eve's table. Anyone? :)">




Carp is also a traditional Christmas meal in the Czech Republic.  Fried carp and potato salad is eaten during Christmas dinner in the evening of 24 December. In Prague, I've seen carp for sale on most streets - there are barrels containing live carp; you select which one you want and it is killed, de-scaled and filleted for you.  




Malgosia's in Newcastle is primarily a Polish shop but it does have a good stock of products from other Eastern European countries including Russia.
