Polski Sklep is Polish Shop
a shop that sells Polish stuff like flaki (pig guts), kiszel (a sort of readymix fruit jelly like Angel Delight) and klopsiki in a jar (meatballs).

Now we've got bacon over here, I reckon we got a much better deal.

Lot's of stuff in jars that look a bit scary.

the polski skleps round here seem to sell a wide variety of suspicious looking meat products.
is bacon only a recent innovation in pooland then?

yeah
millions and millions of pigs, but they don't know how to slice the fuckers up. Or rather, the premium grade meat gets sold to the Krauts, and the Poles eat the leftovers, because they love hooves and guts and lard. Ham's good though.

So that's what flaki is
I had a suspicion that it was something along the lines of tripe. It looks rather unappetising floating around in jars of brine.
