I really can't call you a loser just because I don't agree with you,but I still think you should get out and try some different dishes. Give it a chance...just don't get anything with sauerkraut.

For me...I can eat anything as long as it's in moderation. I excersize everyday..eat butter drink whole milk etc. people have been living on these fattening things for years why stop now? I do keep clear of the fast food, but might eat things that are just as fattening.

The site has been around for a while, it's completely bogus.
It's more popular nowadays for Russian women. It's big advertizing in the back of magazines...not many Polish but more Russian ans other Eastern Eu. I'm not saying it doesn't exist ...but Polish women are more educated the the others.
Yuk! Hell no!!
If you find it hard to believe, for yyour knowledge just go to the site: polishmarriage.org and look how they sell girls there.It's really amusing.

No, it has a colonel :) but who eats this stuff? I think the most money comes from our international locations.
Also, we have 2 restaurants in the top 5 in the world.
To me, your comments are null and void. It is a fact that we're surrounded by culture and do have some fantastic ethnic restaurants and some of the best culinary inst. So, for you to come here and say that all we eat is fast food is just ignorant. Yes, some chefs may be european...but there here now and we're eating it :)
This is just an opinion. Most peope here have to save a lot of money just to be able to afford a trip to Europe. When we go, we go to SEE the country and experience the culture, not just to go there to get drunk and have a stag night/wknd out. Also, we have a large country that has many ethnic areas where we can experience many cultures without having to leave.
You didn't make a valid point. You've tried 2 things and insulted a nations cuisine based on these 2 things that you didn't like. Being even remotely involved in the culinary field, you'd have a respect for all foods...yet you base this on saurekraut. That's just lame.

Americans in general are insular and know little of the outside world. Your personal experiences are irrelevant to this fact.

Language / genders in Nouns/ VERBAL NOUNS/ PRONOUNS/ DIMINUITIVES/ CONJUNCTIONS - A brief Polish Grammar lesson [32]
NOUNS:
There are no definite or indefinite articles in Polish. "Dom" means "house, a house, the house".
There are three genders in Polish:
Masculine nounds usually end in a counsonant
feminine nounds usually end in -a
neutral most often in -o or -e.
Some nouns take a plural form for no obvious reason (like scissors or trousers in English)
Skrzypce violin
Dzieje history
Drzwi door
Urodziny birthday
This also is true of many names of countries:
Niemcy Germany
W Nieczech In Germany
Włochy Italy
Chiny China
Indie India
Węgry Hungary
Na Węgrzech In Hungary
And some cities are also in the plural for some reason:
in Poland -
Kielce
Katowice ...
And elsewhere -
W Helsinkach in Helsinki
W Atenach in Athens
VERBAL NOUNS:
Polish tends to use a noun form of a verb in many instances where a verb would be used in English. They end in:
-anie (for verbs ending in -ać),
-enie (for verbs ending in -eć or -ić or -yć in multisyllabic verbs),
-cie for mono-syllabic verbs ending in -uc, -ić,-yć, and verbs ending in - ać or -nąć.
Czytać-czytanie read-reading
Zobaczyć-zobaczenie see-seeing
Pić- picie drink-drinking
Do you have something to say? Czy masz coś do powiedzenia?
PRONOUNS:
I- ja
You- ty
He- On
She- ona
We- My
You- Wy
They- oni, one
DIMINUITIVES:
masculine diminuitives end in -ek, szek, -eczek, -ik, -yk, czyk
Kot-kotek cat-kitten
Brat-braciszek brother, little brother
Worek-woreczek sack (little _)
Kon-konik horse-pony
Chłopiec-chłopczyk boy-little boy
Kosz-koszyk basket-(litte _)
Feminine endings -ka, -ska, -eczka, -uchna, -usia
Głowa-głowka head
Mucha-muszka fly
Córka-córeczka daughter
Córka-córuchna
Mama-masusia Mom-mommie
Neutral endings -ko, -sko, (e)czko, -atko
drzewo-drzewko tree
Serce-serduszko heart
Oko-oczko eye
Dziecię-dzieczątko child
The opposite of a diminuitive (rarely used) often confers a pejorative meaning
End in -isko, -ysko, czysko, ina, yan, -ak
Pies-psisko dog-big dog
Biedak-biedaczysko poor man
Pies-psiak dog-cur
CASES:
There are seven cases in Polish.
NOMINATIVE - the straightforward dictionary entry of a word - used as a subject in a sentence.
GENETIVE - the second most popular case, usually meaning 'of, belonging to', but also must be used after certain prepositions and verbs
DATIVE - 'to' (and after certain prepositions and verbs)
ACCUSATIVE - The direct object of a sentence.
INSTRUMENTAL - 'with, by means of'
LOCATIVE - after certain prepositions - mostly 'in, at, about'
VOCATIVE - used when literally talking to the person or thing in question (this is obviously limited almost entirely to people's names, as most of us do not often find ourselves talking to doors, chairs and cardboard boxes)
lots of this will be familiar to those of you who speak Latin, Russian, German, but there are some strange quirks in the Połish cases.
I.
One of the most curious aspects of Połish grammar is the use of the instrumentał case for the second part of a sentence invołving the verb BE or BECOME, instead of the simpłe nominative.
I am an American - is NOT 'Jestem Amerikanin, but 'Jestem Amerikaninem.'
This has an unusual twist - the sentence 'Jestem samochodem' normally means 'I came by car' (literally "I am with a car"), but grammatically also means 'I AM a car:'
II.
The accusative of words relating to people or animals is identical to the genitive: The accusative of inanimate objects is the normal accusative:
III:
Direct objects after negative verbs don't take the accusative, but the genitive form.
Widzę dom. I see the house.
Nie widzę domu. I don't see the house.
! The word 'nic' is an exception and remains unchanged - Nic nie widzę.
CONJUNCTIONS:

Czy (whether, if)
i (and)
