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

Never understood why ppl buy that.

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.

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:
wprost.pl/ar/57017/Seksualna-eskorta/
call-girls.pl

At first my name is Daria , and the second : 500 euros per night - this represents one of the luxury Polish prostitutes , and actually ladies companion ( English escort girls ).

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

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.

History / How Polish history is viewed by other countries textbooks [124]

Interesting interview with Polish historian prof Adam Suchonski

The gist of it is that Poland is universally recognized only in the light of events of 1980-1990 period - the fall of communism.

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.
