Food / "Modern" Polish cooking (funny video clip) [21]

Looked disgusting, and he didn't handle the chicken properly. That could cause contamination. and what is it with Polish people and their obsession with ketchup? One should never, ever put ketchup on pizza. Put tomato sauce when making a pizza, not flipping ketchup.

Life / Are Xbox games in Poland translated into Polish? [8]

I have cousins in Poland who have xbox/PSP video games, and the subtitles and menus, etc, are in Polish, but the voices and dialogue is in English. For a video game company to have a game in over 40 different languages (dialogue), would take too long and it would cost a fortune.

And District12a, Polish is not the hardest language to learn.

Life / Worlds most liveable cities (Krakow or Warsaw don't even hit the radar screens) [104]

Warsaw has potential to be a beautiful city, but its going to take at least 15-20 years time. It has its beautiful parts, like the old town and many parts of downtown, and some nice parks etc. But it has a lot of ugly parts (Praga, Ursynow come to mind). The problem with Warsaw is that you have some beautiful architecture, and right beside it, you have those disgusting, piece of crap bloki mieszkalny right beside it, and it spoils the beauty. Personally speaking, if they demolished those cramped communist era apartment blocks and other buildings, it could look beautiful. Thats what they are doing in former east germany. Every year, there are less and less commie blocks. Poland should start doing the same in 25-30 years time.

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

Which beer tastes like ****? Carlsberg or Redds?

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


budvar is very good, but my favorite Czech beer is Staropramen and Urquell. Mmmmmm. When I went to a massive Polish supermarket/megamart in Krakow, I went to the beer section and the Czech beer was almost all sold out, and many Polish brands were still completely full. One of the workers over there told me its very popular (Czech beer).

Travel / Would Polish visit Greece for it's islands or for it's history ? [30]

Because it has a lot of significance, thats why people visit them. Western Civilization and democracy came from Greece, and it has over 3000 years of history. and what's the point of rebuilding the Acropolis? It has nothing to do with laziness, if they were to completely change it, it would lose its charm. and what do you mean "we in Poland have rebuilt Warsaw"? You haven't built anything.

UK, Ireland / Worst of the worst Poles emigrating to Britain? [32]

Yea, there may be some lowlife, foul mouthed immigrants, but thats not only Polish people. Its like that with every ethnic group. You got good, hard working people, and you got the morons. My relatives moved to the UK for a better living, but they are not foul mouthed, rude and lazy people. They are hard working and speak fluent english. My uncle moved to UK, made a ton of money, had a nice flat, nice car, and lived very comfortably. He moved back to Poland a year ago, and is unemployed now. He might go and live in UK for good now. A lot of Polish people like UK, and I'm not just talking about money.

Travel / Which way from Poland to Croatia.... [30]

I would love to see Croatia. I have a few friends who visited, and said it was one of the most beautiful places in Europe. Would love to see Split, Dubrovnik and the islands.

News / Polish flag was changed by taking the coat of arms? [48]

and where the hell are you getting this from. I'm not Romanian.

Travel / Whats your favourite Polish city and why? [132]

I agree. I think many Polish cities have the potential to become extremely beautiful if they put some renovation into it. For example Lodz. yes, its gray and depressing, but if you look at a lot of the architecture, its very beautiful. Its just badly neglected and gray. If they were to restore and renovate these buildings, paint them, and change the streets into nice cobblestone, it can look amazing. When I went to krakow a month and a half ago, even outside the stare miasto, they are slowly renovating buildings and streets. I think it will look great when its all done.

News / Polish flag was changed by taking the coat of arms? [48]

I like the one with the Polish eagle on it. I have one hanging on my wall :)

USA, Canada / Why are Polish restaurants not successful in the USA? [698]

Well according to Polish people, everything is their own lol

History / Chance of Lwów once again became coming part of Poland [344]


Can somebody ban this cnut? Seriously, you are talking about nuking innocent people. You deserve to be laughed at. **** off you ultranationalist pig.

History / Chance of Lwów once again became coming part of Poland [344]


You sound like an ultranationalist nutcase, that deserves to be laughed at. fact is, the vast majority of people in Poland couldn't care less about the border issue. They are more focused on trying to make their own country a better place to live.

USA, Canada / Why are Polish restaurants not successful in the USA? [698]

The menu does have a few Polish things, no doubt. But Des Essientes, most of the stuff isn't Polish, period. Ricotta cheese with roasted lamb, salmon with dijon sauce, scallops and pesto pasta is not Polish. It sounds more like French food. My mom had a massive Polish cookbook at home, and its included with recipes passed from from generation to generation. I have never had any of that stuff from the warszawa restaurant menu, with the exception of a few things, like potato pancakes, pierogi and borsch.

USA, Canada / Why are Polish restaurants not successful in the USA? [698]

I'm Polish. I've been eating Polish food for my entire life, and I can tell you, most of the menu is NOT Polish food. I'm sorry, but the salads on that menu sound more like French food to me, and I've never had most of the stuff on that menu, and I've never heard of it either. The menu choices seem too fancy to be Polish food. Ricotta cheese, scallops, lamb and angel hair pasta with pesto is not Polish food. Real Polish food is bland, and lacks herbs and spices, and certainly isn't as fancy.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Polish food from time to time, but I can't eat it everyday. fact is, Polish food is not the best food in Europe. French, Italian, Spanish, Greek, and other mediterranean cuisine is miles ahead. They simply have more variety, herbs and spices, looks more appetizing, and tastes like heaven. Polish food is not bad, there are some good dishes. But like one poster said, most of it is just "ok", its too ordinary.

Travel / Whats your favourite Polish city and why? [132]

Krakow, for sure. One of the most beautiful cities in Europe IMO. The beautiful Wawel castle and cathedral on the hill is amazing, as well as the Cloth hall and the rynek, it was great! Beautiful city thats getting more popular every year.

Work / What jobs pay 10,000 zlotych per month? and Where can i find one? :o) [101]

Why the hell would you ever want to move back to Poland for good? No offense, but are you that thick headed? Yes, you may miss Poland, but you will NOT get the same quality of life as you will in Canada. If you go back to Poland, what guarantee is there that you will land a decent job, with benefits? Why would you move when your children are doing well in Canada, making friends and having a great education? Your children have way more of a future in Canada than in Poland. Be grateful that you live in Canada Dariusceg. I'm not only talking about money, but most things are better in Canada. Better economy, more employment/better wages, far better healthcare, better pension, good infrastructure, and some of the best universities in the world that your children can attend in the future. The only thing better about Poland IMO, is that you have cities that are over 800 years old, with lots of history, and beautiful ryneks, etc, but its not worth it to move back to Poland.

News / Will Poland ever host the Olympics? [18]

If the EURO 2012 is a big success, and I think it will be, I don't see why not. Poland will be more popular, and more likely to host the olympics. personally, I think Poland has a great chance to host the winter olympics. But, they can't do it alone. They have to co host it with Slovakia, and like emha said, Poprad and Zakopane could work. I went to the Tatra's a month ago. It was beautiful, but the Polish side alone is WAY too small. If you look at the previous hosts and their locations like France, Italy, Austria, Norway and Canada, their mountains are MASSIVE in comparison to Zakopane. Their spa towns and infrastructure in general are on a completely different level. So they only way I could see Poland hosting the winter games is if they co host with Slovakia/Poprad. With the Tatra mountains from both sides, it should be big enough to host.

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

You don't like German/Czech/Belgian beer?! =O So what beer do you like?

Me personally speaking, Poland makes THE best vodka, but the beer is generally average.

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

What is your favorite beer?

What is your favorite beer? When I was in Poland a few weeks ago, I had a beer in Poland called Harnas, and it was great! You can't find it in Canada so I'm a bit disappointed. But the only good Polish beer IMO is Zywiec, Tyskie and Harnas. I think the best beer personally is from Germany, Czech, and Belgium. Can't beat their variety. But I hear Poland has some great micro-breweries, do you guys know of any?

News / PKP buys Alstrom Pendolino trains for € 665 million [60]

Cool trains! It may seem pointless, but its a good future investment. When Poland does have high speed rail in the future, they will already have the fast trains that can reach 250 kmh. If they were to buy 60 slow trains, they would be pointless once the high speed tracks are built.

Travel / Most beautiful small towns / villages of Poland [49]

Zamosc is a beautiful town, and zywiec is also very nice, right beside the mountains. Nowy Sacz may be a large town, but I think its a very colourful and bright town. Its one of the most beautiful large towns in Poland IMO, one of the reasons is because there are not that many ugly, gray, and depressing bloki mieszkalny all over the place, when you compare it to Lodz for example.

Food / Polish grape-wine industry emerging? [26]

I don't think there will be a big industry. We have the best vodka out there, and our beer is great, but we can't make good wine. Poland simply doesn't have the right climate. Yes, some grapes can be grown, but the quality will not be good. Lets not kid ourselves, Polish wine sucks lol. France, Italy, Spain, Australia, and Chile make the best wines. The have the perfect climate to make it, and they have a long tradition in wine making.

Life / European Capital of Culture 2016: Which Polish city do you wish to win? [42]

Whats wrong with Lublin having more tourists? If anything, it needs more. Poland is not very well known around the world.

Life / European Capital of Culture 2016: Which Polish city do you wish to win? [42]

True. I think Poland should start renovation to many of the bloki mieszkalny. Many are very gray looking, and a new coat of paint and new windows makes a massive difference. I saw pictures of newly renovated Polish bloki, and with landscaping, paint and new windows, it gives Poland a better image. Not to mention it makes it look less depressing :)

Life / European Capital of Culture 2016: Which Polish city do you wish to win? [42]

Now that I think about it, I think Torun and Gdansk are the best choices. Torun is a lovely medieval city untouched by the war, and Gdansk has a lot of history from the solidarity movement. I don't even know why Katowice even bothered. The place is just depressing and miserable. Its just an industrial gray city with little culture.

Genealogy / Do you think all Slavs are white? [178]

No, Slavs are blue people, like the Smurfs. Of course they are white. Stop asking stupid questions.
