I remember someone on HN complaining that there were places selling authentic Polish sausages in London, and somehow it sounded they were deeply unhappy about it.

I don't know if average Londoners can still afford authentic Polish sausages, but if they can't, I hope the original commenter is happy now.

Poland's GDP per capita went from less than 20% that of the UK in 2005 to 38-48% currently depending on source.

Those sausages have only become less affordable.

It only makes sense to compare GDP between countries on PPP basis. Otherwise you don't account for currency rate fluctuations and difference in averge price level.

IMF figures for 2025:

87% GDP per capita PPP, 50% nominal GDP per capita

The English are deathly afraid of food with flavor.

But what about the food though!
