I bought a packet of cake mix from Tesco the other day - thinking it looked good - it was by Dr Oetker (Supercook under another name) and they've been quite heavily advertised recently. When I actually got it the instructions are all in Polish!
I considered trying to look it up on the internet but as there was a web address on another packet I e-mailed them. It turns out to be a Polish product aimed at people who speak the language, but they will try and get me a translation.
I know we have a large population of Eastern Europeans round here - 25% of the population in Boston - but I didn't know main stream supermarkets were now catering to their tastes. If they can't provide me with a translation I'm going to have to accost likely looking people in the street and ask them if they can give me the gist of what I have to do - or try on the internet.
If I'd gone into a specialist grocer I could have understood it - but this was Tesco. Maybe I ought to have contacted them instead . . . .
