Food / Polish Duck Soup [117]

Those memories take me back to the days when my mother used to make czarnina fresh when I was just a kid.The sad part was ,which I didn't know at the time,that the duck I had in the backyard would disapppear at the same time the soup was made.!!!!

Food / Any królik (rabbit) fanciers on PF? [76]

In the UK the hunting of rabbits involves the use of ferrets (domesticated polecats)in rabbit hunting.
First the hunter finds the rabbit warren. Once located the hunter lays down catch-nets over all the rabbit holes. The next step is to place one or two ferrets down the rabbit holes without disturbing the catch-net. Now the hunter waits, for a rabbit to run out of the warren into a catch-net.

Shooting with air-rifles does not need a license but the use of shotguns requires a license.

Food / What's your favorite Polish beer? [870]

"Perla Chmielowa Pils was a lot more mild than other Polish beers, which was ironic, because this had more alcohol than any other I've had, At 6.2%. I barely noticed it. Seeing as how it was a half-liter bottle, you'd think I would've had some effect from the alcohol, but I didn't. I don't know, maybe it wasn't really 6.2%."I was quite enjoyable.

Catch and release is a great way to fish.The great part of fishing is reeling the fish in.Some put up real good fight.So,it's nice to release the fish after giving me pleasure of fighting with it to reel it in.Lots of exhileration and a sense of accomplishment after pulling in one of these fighters.!!!!

Food / Cornish game hens in Poland? [13]

They taste great roasted in the oven but if you are using stuffing, plan on one cup per game hen. Do not stuff them until just before you put them in the oven to avoid any potential for salmonellosis.

Bottom line is that that in the" ma and pa" shops you will pay a premium for the "hands on" service.In the the grocery chains,the prices are cheaper but you are on your own to fend for yourself.Like they say---"you get what you pay for".
