Food / Polish food at home or out? [57]

absolutely. no different than any other ethnic food in Poland, though. the beauty of cuisine in the USA is when you walk into a Chinese restaurant and then an Indian restaurant and then a Korean restaurant.....you are eating ingredients that the other foods simply don't have. always an experience, always an adventure with every meal. Chinese/Italian/Mexican in Poland....it's all a joke. Polish food disguised as something else.

I'm not about to defend American fast food and say it's healthy, most of it is $hite, but isn't it funny to hear Poles standing around saying how gross food is from the USA, how it's so unhealthy and fatty while at the same time, they're chowing down on a big kielbasa in a bun, the guy next to him is eating a Zapiekanka and the girl next to them is eating fried pierogi dripping with butter stuffed with some ground up mystery meat? Poles have this thing in their head that if it comes from the motherland and their moms made it for them when they were little, it must be healthy. Fact of the matter is, that big kielbasa you're eating has 3 times as many calories as a hamburger patty from McDonald's, the pierogi is a total calorie bomba, and zapiekanka? Ghetto pizza heated up at some kiosk in a microwave. Bravo and bon appetit.

American fast food is disgusting and nutritionally lacking
