Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Today's treat from Harringay's High Street: Polish cheesecake
Some of you may know that I am slightly obsessive in my search for good Polish cheesecake. When I first came to London, I would trek to Baron's Court just for the pleasure of eating it. Not so long ago, I found a home-made one in Ciacho just by the bridge (although their shutters have been down for a while, anyone know why?) but they often ran out of it.
Today, I was wandering past the Polish supermarket a little further down (whose name I thought I would remember but following my dessert coma I can't quite remember how it is spelled) and after a bit of pointing I discovered that they had the Krakow-style cheesecake that I love and which I now know is called sernik krakowski (no more pointing) thanks to my Twitter pals (sorry, in my haste to get it down my face, I took a slightly out of focus picture).
As well as this style, they have other sorts of cheesecake, plus lots of other lovely looking food but it's the Krakow cheesecake I'll be back for...

Thanks JAn.
You're the second person to flag up the 'doughnuts' so now I'm intrigued. I had a look today but as I'd just eaten a waffle, I figured I'd leave them for another day...soon

Hmmm - I'm mildly obsessed with those cheese doughnuts but had never seen them at Poziomka - clearly because you got there first. I've noticed that they often have a bit of desiccated coconut on top which helps distinguish them. Having occasionally made the mistake of buying one which has a kind of custardy filling which I hate, I'm a bit paranoid about getting it right.
In fact I'm generally obsessed with Polish doughnuts, so much so that the only British doughnuts I can eat any more are the fabled St John ones.
Perhaps someone can help - most standard Polish doughnuts have the prune jam filling, which is great. But the Polish shop up roughly opposite St Ann's Road which closed down some time ago had one with a different kind of jam filling which I just loved - it tasted to me like a combination of quince and rose or something like that. There was another Polish shop, long defunct, right up the other end of Green Lanes at Palmers Green, next to the junction with the North Circular, with the same doughnuts, I think.
Anyone know what I'm talking about and where I might find doughnuts with this jam? Someone must be manufacturing them and selling them somewhere.
Finally, there's a Polish/Russian shop opposite the entrance to the Abney Park cemetary, on the corner where southbound buses turn off into the one way system around Stoke Newington Green - sorry I don't remember the name of that road. I rate their doughnuts and particularly the cheese ones.
See? I'm obsessed. A Polish doughnut map of London would be a good thing.
