Food / Need Florentynki recipe [6]

It's a desert/snack. It's similar to butter taffy with slivers of almond (or whatever nut made with). It's made in little discs.

One website describes theirs as:

orginalne ciastka z zapiekanych migdałów w karmelu z daktylami

Hope that helps :)

Here is a picture I took in Poznan. Hope you can see:

Food / what kind of sauce should I make for my gołąbki? [63]

Eeww. I don't think I've ever heard of it made from Ketchup.

I'd go with the plain tomato sauce monk;)

You can grill Kabanosy :) Some prefer not to because of it's dryness, but you can grill it. Some people marinate it then grill it.

Do you find it unusual that a foreigner isn't familiar?

Have you found a resort to stay in? A lot of them have Spa's so I'd check with them. I think there is a spa called Eden in Sarbinowo. Good luck.

I doubt that would happen. I just put them in my check in luggage and never saw it until after I went through customs in poznan. I wouldn't worry so much, just don't bring the liquor store ;)

Yes. You can tear a small corner of notebook paper the size of this () and rub the Amber ona cotton shirt ( to cause friction) if it picks up the paper it's real. Glass will not pick it up :) Hope that helps.

This is the main problem. Once my GF had a student ID she was approved.

Law / Importing Alcohol Into Poland - any limits? [15]


Do those exist? ;)

I was able to bring 2 bottles of liquor and 2 wines and a few bottles of beer. No issues, but you never know who will be having a bad day :) I'd just call customs or look online.

Mielno is too crowded. Maybe not in Sept, but during the summer it's too crazy. Chlopy or Sarbinowo may be better choices if you run into the crowds.

I will bet money that the US government contrinbutes in one way or another.

I hear that there's looting going on. Are these people looting for food or crime? Is it that bad? Like Katrina/ new orleans scale?

USA, Canada / How can a polish person get usa work visa? [15]

If she's a student, then a tourist visa would be a better suggestion. IMO. In order to get a job she'll need at least a masters degree.

What about Ireland, Scotland and Whales....Canada perhaps ;)? Are they assisting like they should be?Why should it be the US's responsibility when we have our own issues to handle. Besides, we can't even assist our own people in the time of need.

As B woo said.... they aren't a third world country.

Who knows why we're still in Iraq.... :/ I think we're planning a world domination ;)
