WHY IN POLAND PEOPLE DON'T USE ICE?

Just like microwaves, clothes dryers and American food which they like to call "Amerykańska zaraza"

makes food soggy


great invention, but costs a lot


there is American food and there is American food- most of the time the mass production makes it a second category and lacks taste, unless you spend lots of bucks on better quality food- frozen food is not food.

some like it !
I don't ....it sshity gadget!


why ? nobody have anything against it, well maybe because it uses electricity...


what American food ?
I think you mean trash food or fast food and European version of it on the top of it.
So they rightly call it


Don't you think ? nobody introduced in Poland Texan steak from longhorns or apple pie ...

I know this guy from Poland and he refuses to use his dryer because he says its a "no good" American invention. He has clotheslines stretched across his bathroom and kitchen.

His clothes look so stiff like cardboard,,lol He also refuses to use a can opener, a Buck Knife works much better, so he says?

I wonder why he even came here?? A lot of Poles emigrate here and never let their 3 world mentality go.


Its the same in Canada isnt Miranda?
How much of a growing season do you have compared to the USA?


Thats a lie,,,good food is cheap in the USA and not everybody eats at McDonalds.

We dont pay inflated taxes for everything, like North of the Border. And when are you going to stop pretending to be a man??

yeah there plenty of the 3 world mentality in slums !

I-S ( specially in the windy city)

Wonder if he feels the same way about American pharma...


Sure we do. Pile up federal, state, sales, "special surcharges", estate, capital gains... Taxes in the US aren't low.

The worst of Americans slums is a step up from Poland:)


That keep popping up all across Europe with large lines of fools dying to get into them?
OR is it because of the free toilet paper that you dont have to pay a zolty for...lol


or maybe they are too cheap and dont care about their personal appearance. I noticed some of these immigrant Poles have never heard of deodorant either,,,phew!!!!!

convex

Food is cheap in America,,Canadians pay a lot higher taxes than we do in America.

I did not mean veggies and fruits, we have a short growing season- true, but I am buying local during that period, then I buy Florida, Mexico and South America.


in case you did not know, Canada operates differently then the US - yes, we have higher taxes, but goes into public health and other good and useful services, no need to compare over 30 million people economy to over 300 million one, is there? We also have excellent public libraries;), where people read.


when you start behaving according to your age, which means NEVER;)

Back on topic:

I don't use AC in my place unless I have to, nothing to do with mentality, but with a couple of really bad cases of bronchitis over the last 5 years - not worth it to walk around in summer heat with fever and taking double doses of antibiotics.

yep. that's right Delph. and I got the degree and years of working in a laboratory for a Bio-Pharmaceutical company to prove it.

so if you have a bogus company (lindenia) offering services to foreigners that generates no business due to lack of credentials, experience, language skills, maturity and just overall time spent in-country, that would make you a "so-called".......???

let us not even get into your pathetic attempt at teaching English. non-native speaker that....wait....what was it you wrote about your little agreement with your school?.....you teach what you want and leave the grammar stuff to the other teachers? bravo, mate.

do you even pay rent yet, or is your girlfriend's mommy and daddy still taking care of that?

tak czy siak, what does your statement even mean? so if people use something that could potentially be dangerous if not cleaned properly, we should deem it "UNSAFE" or "UNHEALTHY"???

a car is dangerous if not maintenanced properly, yet we all use them.

losing sleep because you're sweating your balls off at night can be detrimental to your health, too.

really? you are typical "Pole" originated from low class, as soon as they better themselves, they keep slandering others Poles ......
Referring to your answer, are you speaking from personal experience or should I say,your family experience :) ?


mostly kids .....they know no better ...although the same could be said about American - you grow some kids-monsters too fat to live at large ..


hey did you use this tactic to save monies an built your cardboard house ?:D


don't see connection between dryer and personal appearance, if you care about it, you do it regardless of circumstances ......

American take aways have a thriving business in PL, especially KFC.

OH?


ever heard about ironing :)


amen


unfortunately


try roller

every country has good and bad sides... grow up, kids...

You need to use a combination microwave oven. Roasts and microwaves at the same time.

A microwave can't be used for everything but its got its uses.

Considering how much complaining Poles usually do, you would think that asking for some ice would be easy! :)

If not, I can teach them ;)

An example: where I used to live in Surrey, I often went in a rather nice (non-chain) cafe which was mostly run by Polish staff - but I heard that they weren't allowed to use the language in front of customers. I once ordered an iced cappuccino on a 30+ degree day (as you do).

When it arrived, it was at room temperature. When I complained that it wasn't "iced", the barista said "you wanted cold coffee, yes?", to which I replied " a cold coffee isn't the same thing as an iced coffee innit".

She looked confused. By this time, I was getting even hotter and even more fed up.

So it was time to explain things in a different way: "moze Pani nie rozumie co to znaczy "kawa mrozona?" "

I soon got the ice after that.

If I want lukewarm coffee, I'll ask for one! :D

If you have healthy teeth then Ice cold drinks are not a problem, Otherwise I hear its an extremely painful experience. Perhaps thats why they wont give Ice cubes in Heathrow?

Well they gave me one,,,,,,,how cold and refreshing that was!!!

she must have been from the sticks: there is Kawa mrozona in Poland - they even sell it at the beach:).


I wish you have given up that argument. It does not apply anymore. lol

I was at the Irish- Polish wedding in Poland and they had great teeth.

To be fair, Heathrow are more obsessed with "cultural sensitivity" than sensitive teeth lol


I've ordered dozens of "kawy mrozone" all over Poland, and they were always... full of ice ;)


Pass an oesophageal doppler probe into a tachycardic, septic, febrile person, then fill them with lots of cool intravenous fluid, and watch what happens to their cardiac output, stroke volume and basic cardiovascular observations. You will find that the heart starts working less hard and more efficiently.

Sledz, give up on all the "Brits have bad teeth". Sensitive teeth aren't bad teeth, it's actually most likely to be caused by over brushing and rubbing away the tooth enamel. You don't have Sensodyne in the USA? Or Crest, Arm and Hammer and Rembrandt who all make toothpastes for sensitive teeth and sell, sell, sell in the USA.

Ice - available by the truck load in most of Europe.

Except in restaurants and at airports???

I was in Ireland, England and Holland, same situation in each country. I had to practically beg to get it, then it was the old 1 cube trick!

Maybe times changed then?


Well we have Rednecks and they wont even touch a tooth brush, if that makes you feel any better:)

Well I dunno where you went wrong. If anything people complain because of too much ice. Can't speak for Holland, never been there.

I think thats where the culture clash is? If you go to any bar or restaurant in the US, they fill your glass up with Ice first, especially cocktails.

Do people in Europe have Ice chests, that they fill with Beer and Ice then go to the beach or do they just drink it warm???

Over here everybody has a cooler of some sort or another for these hot summers we have.

I guess we yanks love our ICE:)

That happened here too though. Sometimes I think "there's no room left for the drink!" ;)

I think you'll find in Europe we like cold beer. Supermarkets here in the UK sell more and more of these big sacks of ice which are just ideal for parties etc.

Same here, we fill our coolers up and hit the beach,camping,fishing etc.....
Nothing worse that a warm beer! I didnt encounter that at all in Europe, just when I wanted a soda or something else.

I will admit that the best Beer I ever had was in Europe,,thats for sure!!

If you went into a US pub you would have to tell the bartender (easy ice) or they will fill it to the top, which I dont mind.

Nothing more refreshing than a big glass of Ice Water when its 95F/ 35C and the humidity dew points are in the 60`s,,,its hot and sweaty over here now:)

Not all Polish horses are dumb,some are pretty smart.They even like to chug-a-lug some beer.

The idea of having a drink stay nice and cold while you're sipping it slowly just does not appeal to Poles, I guess.

All Europeans don't use ice lol. There used to be a restaurant where I live called Old Europe and some people were asking for ice and they didn't have any.


I find ice to be annoying sometimes actually because it perspires and makes the cup wet plus it ruins the flavor of the drink.

there are plenty things that are worse then warm beer.. warm dark beer in the winter months is da shizit anyway. :)

there's an even simpler way of looking at this....

go to a deli in Poland, look for an ice chest with big bags of ice for sale.

hell, go to a supermarket and look for the same.

go to a kiosk and look for the same.

go to a gas station and look for the same.

think about the last time you saw someone in Poland walking to their car with a bag of ice.

think about the last time you saw YOURSELF walking to your car holding a bag of ice.

with all that said, how much ice can one make in their freezer? for a party? before you go to the beach?

masz.

How would you convince people here to pay for frozen water? I mean, I would, it's convenient for all the reasons that you mentioned...but who else would pay for water that they can freeze at home in tiny batches? How much is a cold drink worth anyway? Too much hassle, bring on the warm stuff!
