Food / Bekon or boczek? [21]

I see. OK, as I eat strange things myself, then I mustn`t view your boczek skin as odd. :):)

Food / Bekon or boczek? [21]

That`s good you have jaws like a shark, but believe me, saying that you don`t know what we are talking about was meant to save you from disgrace of sounding ridiculous coz that rind/outer skin of boczek piece is really inedible , like a sole of a shoe, and eating it is a big sacrifice. Are you so starved you need to bite through it so mercilessly, can`t you find better food in the UK? :):)

Food / Bekon or boczek? [21]

No, Milo, you don`t know what we are talking about. We mean the bottom part of boczek which is the toughest skin. You would need the jaws of Jaws to bite through it. It remains tough even if you boil it 24 hours.

Food / Bekon or boczek? [21]

it looks quite raw,

Yes, smoked boczek is like raw. I must say I would never eat it like that, it requires frying but then it can be a bit tough. People mostly boil it to get a tasty broth base for soup.

That is why I always buy preboiled one which you can slice and put into a sandwich immediately.

Po polsku / Malgorzata Kidawa Blonska [8]

Te kobiety na pewno były trochę durnowate, jak wszyscy poloniści, dlatego

Niestety, kobiet tam nie było bo studium je oddzieliło i one miały zajęcia gdzie indziej. Na sali wykładowej siedziało nas chyba 100 chłopów. I kultura według kierunków. Poloniści - niektórzy krzykliwi, chamscy, wulgarni, tępi. Angliści - w większości - stonowani, kulturalni, inteligentni. hahaha

Po polsku / Malgorzata Kidawa Blonska [8]

"Chodzą słuchy" to jest jak najbardziej po polsku.

Niestety, jak dziś pamiętam zajęcia na studium wojskowym kilka dekad temu. Anglistyka miała je z polonistyką. Ci poloniści zawsze się śmiali jak trep - oficer - powiedział coś niestylistycznie. Pamiętam właśnie że się śmiali jak słyszeli chodzą słuchy. Do legend ze studium przeszły wyrażenia typu: Ciii, jestem tu in blanco.

Jeśli tak się mówi dzisiaj i Bralczyk się nie wkurza, to znaczy że język żyje i się zmienia.

Po polsku / Malgorzata Kidawa Blonska [8]

Do najwyższego (prezydent) to nie, ale do wysokiego (premier) to tak.

Chodzą słuchy.... Nie, tak się nie powinno mówić po polsku.
Otóż pojawiły się pogłoski że jeśli Kidawa zdobędzie dużo głosów w Warszawie i w ogóle przysporzy jej ugrupowaniu popularności, to w przyszłym roku możliwy jest jej udział w wyborach prezydenckich. Czytałem o tym już w kilku źródłach.

Jeśli chodzi o geny polityki, to Kidawa ma faktycznie fantastyczne.

Food / Polish Cook Information [3]

Polish American cook/chef site

Very useful site with a lot of recipes and detailed photos. Certainly worth recommending. However, mostly in Polish.

Food / Oils and fats in Polish foods [34]

Yes, every day. But succumbing is a wrong word. I consciously take advantage of harmful foods without any limitations - no regret, remorse, scruples etc whatsoever. I don`t resist my tastes, I simply eat and drink what I like.

.No sugar in tea nor coffee, no soft drinks, no junk food and I get plenty of exercise.

You do torture yourself with those constraints.

Life / COMBATING "POLACK" JOKES [460]

....because, as we all know so very well, submarines never surface.

Yes, I once thought about the messsage of that joke and I think they meant screens which are usually installed on windows. Having that in mind, it is quite funny.

Life / COMBATING "POLACK" JOKES [460]

BTW, I recalled one more case which wasn`t noticed by Am Poles but I can`t find it now. . In one of episodes of Simpsons: classic dumb Pollack joke - students are supposed to do ethnic projects and a Polish one says he will invent mosquito screens for a submarine. :)

So why does the American Polonia Congress usually protest vigourously after each incident?

Learn to laugh at yourself ......... something you Polish seem very hard to do for some reason. Get over yourselves.

tell it to the guys in the Am Polonia Congress . :)

The first three were completely inoffensive. The last one was offensive if you are thin skinned,

I see. So why does the American Polonia Congress usually protest vigourously after each incident? :):)

Remember, dear: the beauty of the Pollack joke lies in the ear of the listener!

When I lose a debate I am man enough to admit it.

I see. But can we believe you? :)

Life / Importance of Religion in Poland [187]

Leftist media or journalists enjoy the fact that the Church`s support for PiS unexpectedly backfired and hit the Church`s vital interests: due to the double intake of students in high schools and inconvenient timetables, more and more of them sign out of religion classes conducted in schools. The trend has been observed for a few years but this year it is said to be a flood. There are already schools in Poland where zero students attend religion class - sth unbelievable a few years ago.

Life / COMBATING "POLACK" JOKES [460]

You did.

Nope, I didn`t. I only said there were still cases of Pollack jokes in the US, while you vehemently denied their existence. I answered you didn`t know facts and it was you who got upset by using PRL reference upon me. Later on I presented examples of what I was talking about.

Now, as you decided to voice your opinion, do you still insist there are no Pollack jokes in the USA?

but you always put a left wing/liberal slant to your posts.

Sigh. It is very difficult to discuss things with you sometimes. Where did I use my liberal approach in this thread?

Oh, I forgot to quote and answer that one. Never mind who said it:

So say you, the worlds chief authority on Poland.

Yes, exactly. Can I feel a ltttle proud of being so? The case is simple - you are no match to me when Polish things - either in Poland proper or global - are involved. :):)

PS. Another quote: Remember that before you decide to take me on again.

hahaha

The latest case of 2019 involves a bad stereotype rather than a typical Pollack joke:

Some Poles felt insulted when American Airlines advertised their flights to Krakow by suggesting you go there mainly to drink vodka:

businessinsider.com.pl/media/marketing/nowe-polaczenie-american-airlines-krakow-chicago-spot-promocyjny/tgh7dc1

Explanation: there are certain Polish news portals which gladly pick up such info and use it in their daily coverage of world events. Some do, other not.

Real Estate / SUROWY DOM IN POLAND - UNFINISHED HOMES FOR SALE - COST TO COMPLETE THE BUILD? [16]

I presume he is referring to the interior drylining

Oh, I see. Again, thanks for that.
But it is still strange he/she comes to the forum and asks such questions. Even if a member tells us about his/her experience with shell furnishing, each case is different coz it is highly individual matter.

Also, after I get keys from developer, how long do i need to wait (drying out time) before a crew can start on fitting?

I missed that one. A Polish online calculator for new floors says: about one week for each centimeter. But that info is surely available in English, too.

That`s German, while I promised to retell examples from the US.

I don`t have time now but in the evening I will mention a few cases from recent years.

That`s what I remember without googling

In chronological order

Case No 1

Guys, now I could quote you saying you haven`t heard a Polack joke for 40 years. But I won`t - I simply hate kicking a dead dog. :):)

And you are getting upset??

Who told you I get upset? :)

I have not heard a derogatory Polish joke in forty years as I stated.

Yes, that is coz you think and live locally, why I do globally. :):)

Grow up man!

That is nice you are starting to accept my point of view, from your Disappeared to my Once or Twice a Year. :):)

FWIW: neither have I.

Again, local thinking. :)

It seems to be some kind of stigma that the native Polish people have been instilled with for some odd reason.

Hmmm, I don`t feel any stigma.

Guys, it seems you have huge problems with reading comprehension or even your sight - you see things which don`t exist. I was and still am completely neutral when I stated my first and next remarks about Polish jokes: Nope, they still exist, only went to hiding due to PC and fear of being sued.

Do sth about it coz we are wasting time trying to explain things which didn`t happen.

it's a side effect of feeling special

It is a diversion from the subject , but I can tell you privately: in comparison to a few forum morons who can`t properly interpret what they read , I do feel special. hahahaha

As Dolno said, I think you still yearn for the days of PRL.

That`s funny. Whenever forum morons of plastic Polishness are caught lying, talking bullshit or simply being ignorant by native Poles here, they immediately adopt a defensive position using Soviet or PRL reference. hahaha

Why is it so?

I haven't heard derogatory Polish joke in over forty years here where I live or any place else in the U.S. that I have been.

Again, it means you don`t follow native Polish media. I do.
I don`t have time now but in the evening I will mention a few cases from recent years.

It's only the jewish media which still spreads polish jokes, not everyday people.

Yes, but now we are not talking about the source, but the fact. Jewish or not, such cases happen, once or twice a year.

You are falling for PIS insular propaganda my friend.

Wrong. Talking about Polish media, I meant what I said: Polish, not PiS Bolshevik. :):)

Rubbish.They disappeared

Of course not. It is obvious you know very little about it. E..g, you don`t follow Polish media which report cases of Polish jokes from around the world, especially the USA.

I do and I can say your opinion is groundless.

Real Estate / SUROWY DOM IN POLAND - UNFINISHED HOMES FOR SALE - COST TO COMPLETE THE BUILD? [16]

Oh, thanks. I will use that shell in another thread later on. :)

But, the poster asked a strange question

from 1,500 zl per m2 to 2,500 zl per m2

Does he/ she expect us to tell him/her how much the furnishing per m2 will cost? If so, it is funny to me coz I have no idea how one can calculate it before getting down to work. Do interior design offices do such calculations? It seems possible but only after the work has been done, doesn`t it?

it's better for your health than heated olive oil.

Yes, I also read that new varieties of rapeseed oil are OK, opposite to older types.
