News / Will EURO 2012 be a proud moment for Poland and its people or set back Poland 20 years? [86]
All can be ascribed to growing pains.
Poland's external image has been tainted by what the press around the world have been showing (head on train crashes, racism, hooligans etc)
All can be ascribed to growing pains.

telling him he doesn't make nough money is being kind?
I'd hate to be there when your being mean. lol
it's a kindness to a guy, especially his ego, when a woman tells him she dumped him because he does not have enough money.

that may be true to a certain extent but I'm certain the host cities will garner their share of reward. eg many people came to Wrocław and saw what a great place it is that ordinarily wouldn't have come. Hopefully, they come back and/or tell their friends to come.
host cities spend the money and krakow takes the prize.

p3, I remember the naleśniki (sorta like Polish crepe's) my mom made and filled them with cream cheese. Pycha!
I also remember the layered cakes my ex-mother-in-law used to bake. Her inspired creation was her tort orzechowy (nut cake). Unfortunately, I don't bake.
Rybnik,do you know any good Polish desserts and perhaps,how to make any?

I forgot kaszanka! My dad used to fry it on a little bacon fat with sauteed onions. Add to that a garlic pickle, fresh rye bread and cold buttermilk, you have perfection.....My wife, the Flip, likes to add an egg and some rice :)

Most fav food? That's tough, seeing as I have soooo many favorites. If pushed, I'd have to say all the Polish soups I've had the pleasure to sample: pomidorowa(tomato), okórkowa(pickle), żurek, flaczki(tripe), barszcz(beet), the list is endless. Mmmm!..........Least fav: czarnina (duck's blood soup). My dad tried to get me to like this Silesian soup but I just couldn't :(

That has not been my experience. Maybe it's a generational/geographical thing. I frequented the West Berlin bar/club scene a lot in the '80s. I found the girls very nice, fun-loving, approachable and never a problem buying them a drink ;)
German girls are too shy & conservative for my taste.

It's a Polish "CSI", I suppose.

those are all clever, edgey (entourage) shows. I don't think Polish fare can compare. If you like detective/crime shows "Ojciec Mateusz" is good. Plus the setting is in the lovely town of Sandomierz. The others I have seen (Blondynka, Barwy Ścięścia) are more like novellas. Another one I sorta liked was "Czas Honoru" set in WW2. It deals with the resistance in Nazi-occupied Poland. I'll tell you one thing, watching these shows helped me a lot. Good luck.
