Patrycja,

i am just saying look at all the problems you Americans are having in your own backyard.
Why not concentrate on them?

Why waste your time with supposed "headband" problem in Poland that doesn't even exist?

News / I need Kaczynski's Email Address! [84]

it seems to be very prevelent in foreign owned supermarkets.

please tell me in what supermarkets? where? :(

funny i was in a lot of stores in Poland incl. Tesco and nowhere did i see women wearing special headbands. :)

You Americans are funny:)

Patrycja,

instead of looking for problems in Poland and elsewhere why don't you Yanks first solve your own problems of violence, drugs and poverty. :)

Love / Are Polish women in serious demand by Western men? [43]

Bronek,

most educated immigrants/foreigners have a better understanding of history, geography and politics than most educated Canadians (born in Canada):)

How many Canadians know that Poland lies in Europe?

How many Canadians can find Poland on the map? :)

Love / Are Polish women in serious demand by Western men? [43]

Miranda,

i have dated a few smart pretty girls and they were all foreigners/ immigrants like myself.

One girl i dated was a hot , yet very intelligent Mexican girl . We would sit in the coffee shop and talk for hours about history, languages and politics.:)

i have yet to find a Canadian girl that i can do the same with :(

Canadians like European/Polish girls because they are much smarter than Canadian girls:)

i cannot find a Canadian girl with whom i can have an intelligent conversation with :(

Find me girl that has some concept of Geography, History and is able to play chess and i will marry her.

I find a women's brain to be the sexiest part of a women's body:)

History / Polish Jews - they changed their Jewish surnames to Polish [532]

Europe awake ,

please stop with the anti-Jew slurs:)

You should respect a nation of people like the Jews who for more than two thousand years had no country of their own and were dispersed around Europe and the world. It is outstanding that the Jews survived and amazing that they flourished and prospered and were able to maintain their language and culture.

Life / Poverty in Poland [50]

Poland is the land of opportunity for smart people willing to take risk.

Two of my family members started businesses 10 years ago and today they are on the verge of becoming millionaries. However the road to success takes sweat, tears, determination, brains and most of all hard work:)

Jabol is cheap wine made out of apples and other fruit:)

(pron. "yabol") is a slang name for a large family of cheap Polish wines, very popular among lower-income residents and teenagers as well as bums all across the country.

Food / Polish Lunch ideas (for two Polish friends helping me in the garden) [14]

tripe? :) yummy

make some Flaki for them (tripe soup) :)

my favourite:)

TRIPE SOUP POLISH STYLE
(flaczki):

If you don't want to cook raw tripe for up to 4 hrs, get 2-1/4 lbs. fully cooked tripe at your meat market. If it is uncut, cut the tripe into thin strips 2\" - 3\" long. Scald with boiling water to cover and cook 10 min., then drain. Place the tripe into 6-7 c beef stock, add a portion of soup greens sliced into matchsticks and cook on med. until vegetables are tender. Dissolve 3 T flour in 1 c of the stock and return to pot, simmer briefly. Season to taste with salt, pepper, marjoram, paprika and several gratings of nutmeg. Many people like their flaczki on the spicy side, so provide some Tabasco or cayenne pepper on the side. Serve with good rye bread and ice-cold vodka. Note: Tripe can also be served as a kind of stew over boiled potatoes or noodles. Simply decrease the amount of beef stock and thicken with a little more flour if desired :)
