Food / Looking for a Pickle Soup Recipe - Polish ogórkowa [28]

Dill Pickle Soup: (Zupa Ogorkowa)

6 cups of beef broth
1 lb cauliflower (cut into small flowerettes)
2T of instant flour
1C milk
1 egg yolks
2T soft butter
4 large Dill Pickles
2/3C liquid from the jar
2.5C boiled and sliced potatoes

Bring broth to boil.
+ flour mixed with .5C of milk
bring just to boil. remove from heat.
+ egg yolks mixed w/ butter
+ pickles, potaotes and liguid

heat but DO NOT BOIL

serves 12 although if you eat it like a polish person then i say it serves 4. lol

i also tend to add some dill to this (1t-1T depending on how much you like dill)

here is a very similar soup and it can also be served cold so it's also great for summer:

Cauliflower Soup:

7 cups of broth (chicken or beef, veggie stock will work also)
1 lb cauliflower (cut into small flowerettes)
1.5T of instant flour
2C milk
2 egg yolks
1T of DILL

Bring broth to boil.
+ caulifliwer, simmer for 25min.
+ flour mixed with .5C of milk
bring just to boil. remove from heat.
+ egg yolks and the rest of milk
+ DILL

stir and serve

this serves 10 according to my book but once again, i'll have to say 4.

History / Poland's King Jan III Sobieski - the stopper of Turkish Janissaries! [64]

I'm sory we didnt have monarchy or tyrany like the rest of countries living in the dark of middle ages.

still a monarchy man.

speaking of sobieski and the turks.. a few years back a saw tents and other stuff from the vienna skirmish at a special show at the Chicago Art Institute.. turks had some awesome gear.. the hussar gear was actually the other thing that i just loved from that exhibit.

Life / Do Polish People steal a lot? [330]

Now mark your 2x4s with Polonium.

best responce in the whole thread. roflmao

i do think polish and people from other former soviet satllite countries steal more then your average american. it's a cultural thing.. i think it stems from the oppression and deprevation that the peeps have had to endure over the years. no not everyone but i can pick the bad carachters out pretty easy. sledz, sometime when we get together we can talk about it.. the ones that smile probably won't rob you. ;) :D

Food / How many Poles are vegetarians? [52]

YOU WANT OT BE VEGETERIAN IN THE LAND OF KIELBASA? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? LOL

ACTUALLY THERE ARE QUITE A FEW RECIPIES IN POLISH KUCHNIA THAT ARE VEG ONLY AS POLES HAVE EXPERIENCED SOME TROUBLES OVER THE CENTURIES AND MEAT HASN'T ALWAYS BEEN AVAILABLE.

POTAO CAKES
CREPES,
ALL SORTS OF SOUPS,
AND SOME MAIN DISHES THAT WERE JUST MENIONED.. THERE IS MORE BUT YOU'LL HAVE TO LOOK AROUND A LITTLE.

GOOGLE "POLSKA KUCHNIA" FOR RESULTS IN POLISH OR "POLISH COOKING" TO GET SIMILAR ONES IN ENGLISH.

you can get almost all the nutrients out of veggies.. one has to be a little crative though.

red chops? dude, pork HAS to be cooked fully otherwise you may get sick.

a cow has to be killed to be miled? now, that's the first one. what have you been on donk? ;) :D

Like beans?

beans won't kill you, they'll only give you gas

So?

so? that makes no sense.. you don't have to kill a cow to milk it.. pull on the tit man. don't you know how to do that? hehe

barbar = slav in old roman. :D :D

and i beg to differ on you assertion that vegans are the healthiest.. not necessarily true at all. barbaric? do you eat fish, eggs, or cheese? soy milk sounds so natural i can barely stand it.. yum. :(

I'm actualy proud to say that I made my friend quit vegetarianism by showing him how good polish kilebasa is ;)

hehehe.. bubbles needs to see that one. hehe

My hope was basically that I could discuss a bit of vegan Polish cuisine with a vegan. =(

no problem.. i like some vegian food as much as a steak. :)

i know what vegan means.. i asked because people tend to throw around words which may not mean what they seem to think they mean. maybe others learned soemthing here. lol fat chance.. :D

Travel / My impressions from Poland [26]

baki

excellent write up..

tyskie seems to be the fav of many folks.. i find it rather strong tasting on most occasions. glad you like it though.

kazimierz dolny, spent quite a bit of time down there, but it's been a while.. very beautiful, for sure.. do you have any pictures you'd like to share?

I use that combination all the time, whats wrong about it;)?

i know i've picked on you way too much already but man how can one resist; the sock thing, "that's gay". lol V V V

Enough of this.... men, sandals and socks just don't work. it's all true.

(sorry boys :P)....

panache

have we met? it's been a while since i have "heard" that one.. my friends and i like it well. lol

They are 3/4 length pants.

Capri

Well,sandals ARE supposed to be worn without socks, because the purpose of the sandals is to make your feet breathe, and they can't breathe if you're wearing socks!

wow.. hahahahahaha... iron clad socks? hahahahahaha

USA, Canada / American people attitude towards Poles in the USA [98]

two polaks go bear hunting.
as they near their destination they come to a fork in the road
and they see a sign that says"bears left"
so, they turn around and go home.

LOL
