Life / Psychological predicament of del pobre polaco [7]

Well, I was curious about that too so I did a forum search for Chopin and in in last 4 month there was only one case where Chopin was brought up to as an answer to post claiming "the poles are inferior Europeans"

I call BS.

Food / Powidła - Poland's versatile plum butter [19]

Mmmm... naleśniki z powidłami.
I just love the fruity sourness combined with sweet pastry.

Never had runs ... but then our powidła were all homemade.

UK, Ireland / Oxford Polish bride 'heartbroken' over arrest - accusations of sham marriage [126]

Have read about high end prostitution in "Superfreakonomics"

It is actually very interesting read - how the market for such "services" evolved (book talks about US)

In Poland it is also nothing new:

I doubt gaming the system with fake marriage is really that big problem.
The fact is you can't do it too frequently.

USA, Canada / Polonian or Polish food in America better? [26]


Polish ogórki kiszone are prepared via natural fermentation. No vinegar is used.
The taste is different and too much vinegar is not good for health.

I do love the brine from home prepared ogórki kiszone.
Try zupa ogórkowa - the brine is used to give sour taste (besides the grated cucumbers added to the soup)
I doubt this would be very edible when done with vinegar.
