Food / A snack at Bob Beans - could sure use some info. [4]

It's probably because you're lacking real Polish soil Peter. My great-aunt Janka makes jam from Polish roses. She swears the recipe only works with roses grown in a Polish garden:)

Travel / Worth visiting Warsaw? [20]

I visited beautiful Warsaw 3 summers ago. I'm fortunate to have English-speaking relatives living there. I had employees at the hotel where I stayed assist me, by writing down helpful phrases & places I visited on my own.

Love / Are Polish girls better cooks? [45]

I think many Polish women may customize recipes, to their own particular taste. This is especially true when certain ingredients are scarce or simply disliked. I find myself using a substitute for raisins. I can't stand the taste or texture of raisins.

Travel / HITCH-HIKING FROM MIELEC TO KRAKOW? [3]

I can't imagine hitch-hiking being safe anywhere; including Poland. I know it's an acceptable method of transportation, in some places such as Cuba.

Better take some pepper spray with you. That is if it's legal to own in Poland.

Love / Polish Farm Women [34]

You're less than a 4-hour drive from the Mecca of Polish women! Take a road trip to Chicago:)

USA, Canada / Driving in USA, Las Vegas. [12]

There used to be a Polish restaurant in Las Vegas, named Polonez. I believe it's no longer in operation:(

USA, Canada / Driving in USA, Las Vegas. [12]

You'll roast to death in Las Vegas now. Temperature averages 115+ degrees. Death Valley is over 125 scorching degrees!!!

USA, Canada / General differences between Poland and the USA? [184]

Some banks in the United States may require a minimum dollar amount, to open a savings account. Others may require a minimum monthly balance, in order to keep the account open.

Love / ACCEPTABLE modest wear for Polish women? [49]

I visited Poland during the summertime. Many of the females dressed in light, casual clothing. Their daytime attire included tank
tops, loose-fitting shorter skirts and capri pants.

USA, Canada / Polish Americans on TV [14]

According to my sis, Ted Knight would pray to Our Lady of Czestochowska, before participating in screen acting interviews.

News / Dog 'saved life' of missing Polish girl [5]

The dog is a hero indeed.

The story doesn't mention if the dog belonged to Julia's family, or whether he was stray. I can't comprehend the idea of parents letting a three-year-old play with a stray dog. The general act could be an accident in the making.

Life / Polish pretense - what's the deal? [72]

A person doesn't always have to spend a bundle, in order to dress fashionably. It's a matter of shopping in the right places & coordinating what may already be available on hand.

Love / Dating Polish Women I'm attracted to. Any Advice? [11]

Seven years age difference isn't too much. Your both in your 30's & 40's. I could see a problem, if you were only 18 & she age 25.

So... when she's 100 years old, you'll still be be a youthful 93

Food / Poland's favorite hard-to-find American snacks? [18]

I've entertained the thought of exchanging jars of Taco Hell hot sauce, for delicious Polish chocolates from Lublin. Not sure if many folks here are willing to trade their actual name & address with other PF members...

Language / Sinatra singing in Polish [3]

Amazing hearing the legendary "Old Blue Eyes " sing in Polish. I saw Frank Sinatra Jr. perform in concert a few months ago. He sounds just like his papa. He didn't sing in Polish though.
