Healthy polish food?

The healthiest Polish food is the one you don't eat.

Go Vietnamese and you will fine.

You may be quite right. You left Poland at 26 years of age and have made it to 82 on Am cuisine. We all envy you. I am serious now. :):):):)

You've got the dates wrong. You're out by about 20 years which indicates that you're fairly ignorant of the topic so it would be wise to refrain from commenting on it.

It doesn't matter. A million people dying of starvation in a country as small as Ireland, dying at the side of the road in so many cases, having been evicted from their hovels - which is what those cottages were - because the failure of the potato crop meant they couldn't pay the extortionate rents. In the words of your countryman Count Paweł Strzelecki who saved the lives of so many in Ireland during the Famine years with his humanitarian work:

"No pen can describe the distress by which I am surrounded. It has actually reached such a degree of lamentable extremes that it becomes above the power of exaggeration and misrepresentation."

He did actually witness the people literally dying of hunger before his eyes.

"numberless struggling and ragged families were observed; some crawling, some squatted on the road-side, through utter exhaustion; all bearing downcast, broken, and worn-out countenances; fearful results of starvation, sickness, and the exposure to the inclemency of the weather..."


No, my reasoning is that a foreigner, who is pretty ignorant of another country's history, should think before they speak. The diet of the Irish peasantry did not evolve as it did because of the comparatively mild climate. 'The Irish didn't have to worry about winters" indeed, only about basic survival.

Yes, I wrote 1860s first and later looked up it was 1840s actually but I didn`t bother to correct it though I still had time for that. Simply speaking, whenever. Who cares about silly 20 years?? This is Polish, not Irish forum, darling and I am not Kania. hahahaha

BTW, I skipped the rest of your lengthy post to save my precious time. Can you summarise it in a few words ??? :):):)

Apologies, Atch. I meant bangers & mash as a popular dish throughout the UK, along
of course with the time-honored Shepherd's Pie:-)

Not that popular nowadays.

I too realize that England has gone healthy and that rare roast beef with mustard and a tankard of ale, all served up at Simpson's On the Strand has become
old hat, save for tourists who want some vintage, museum like view of "Merry Olde London Towne"LOL

Sunday lunch food.

Simpson's is still going though.

Tankards of ale are very old fashioned, however many pubs do a nice Sunday meal.

Good to know. As always thanks. jon:-)
Gotten though a bit far afield from Polish cooking.

soups are really good, it has lots of oxygen. LOL :P

Zurek for example or chlodnik?

@Lyzko
Neither of those are especially healthy but they're both good in season.

Indeed they are!

My favourite is Botwinka, also very seasonal. I won't have Szczawiowa in the house though.
