Food / the best cure for hangover-the polish way ;) [76]

the best thing is to take a painkiller before u go to bed (i know it may be hard when youre really drunk)

also what helps me a lot in the morning is tea with at least 2 sugars in it. after drinking alcohol the sugar level in blood drops and you feel crap.

juice from sour gherkins is good for you anyway. My housemates are giving me weird looks when i drink it straight out of the jar...

Food / Some cooking spices in Polish [46]

Food / Fasola and Bigos in a Jar [5]


nah! beens on toast is not polish way of eating it ;)
i bet the beans are bigger than english beans, and they have bits of sausage in it? you eat it with polish bread on the side (do not toast it thou)

bigos, can be eaten on its own, with bread or cooked potatoes.
enjoy

Life / Where to buy Marmite in Warsaw? [35]

Food / What do you eat with Golabki? [37]

hi,
You can of course eat potatoes with golabki!! we always have them with mashed or parboiled potatoes (make sure they are not undercooked, they should mash easily when pressed with a fork, also add half a teaspoon of salt to the boiling water, nobody in Poland cooks potatoes/rice/pasta without adding salt) you can also eat with bread.

enjoy


thinly sliced cucumber with sour cream is called mizeria [meezerya] (dont ask me why coz i havent a clue) you season it with salt and crushed black pepper, add some sugar and fresh chopped dill - yum! its a great side for all dishes that include young/baby potatoes

you should also try it with fried egg and baby potatoes or pork chop in breadcrumbs and baby potatoes

(again it is necessary not to undercook potatoes, Im a polish girl living in Ireland, and everytime somebody else cooks spuds they come out hard and even raw inside, not mentioning there was no salt added to the boiling water, which makes the spuds inedible)

fresh dill and parsley are national herbs in Poland :)

ahh forgot to add, we do not eat potatoes with skins. we may cook them in jackets but we do not eat the jackets;)
i even tend to peel baby potatoes as i find the skin, bitter.

Food / Beer and syrup - tastes better! [48]


raspberry or ginger sirup ;) there is also a blue sirup which makes beer go green, and its drank on st paddy's day!


a splash of raspberry sirup served with a shot of vodka and tabasco is called mad dog
