Food / What Polish foods do foreigners generally not take to? [139]

Is this a popular mental illness in Poland?

It is not dangerous at all if you learn to separate edible and poisonous, best learned hanging to your mother's apron at age 4. Besides, dangers are vastly overstated. Yeah, there are a few deadly ones, but most so-called poisonous ones will result in vomiting, discomfort, and diarrhea, not death.

History / Why Poland is not Russia [260]

Always a pleasure to observe two Polish patriots recognize each other's moral superiority.

Could not say it any better myself, Just add the ironic thought crossing my mind, how about recognizing my own limitations?

News / Building regional alliance to stabilize Eastern Europe. [236]

is a good idea, it has proven to work already in the recent decades, has it not?

BB I admit, I hated Germans with a passion for most of my life, with a good reason: too many deaths in my immediate family, including my father, not directly at the hands of Germans, but indirectly, long painful illnesses as a result of German actions, my uncle, his son, and many others, but I completed my travels after going full circle, right now I am an impartial observer, so pretentious statements about domination are the words of some crank not wort a decent answer.
So BB, I come full circle, and in my mind, the confusion gripping Germany is temporary; all that is needed is a charismatic leader to awaken the German spirit, and I hope without racial superiority

Remember that nowadays, France and Poland are a day's drive away and dishes tend to come

But Jon, We were talking about Polish bigos, primeval forest covering the whole country, and hunting as a necessary tool for survival, not hunting as a sport, and days driving would take you to your grandmother's cottage for dinner, probably a bowl of Hunters Stew, not France

History / Why Poland is not Russia [260]

Many Russian specialists and Sovietologists in the West also liked to understand the Cold War as a battle between Athens and Sparta.

Bobi, my likable Russian (50% Polish) Unlike your Covietaligists, I look at it like wars between Persia and Greece. Wast evil empire Persia, and freedom-loving Greeks confronting the tyrannical dictator vastly outnumbered in size of the army and land. Free and proud, they refused to neal facing their Gods, so naturally, they declined to crawl in front of Xsexes and their equally tyrannical son, Darius; rather than crawl or humble themselves, they bravely fought against all odds in the battle of Maraton, wasted the army of enslaved Persians. That is the reason Russians are facing so much resistance in Ukraine. Tyranny against the fight for freedom

As the French made choucrout.

Jon, I am talking about bigots. I could care less what the French are doing; they have plenty of dishes of which to be proud, so don't try to steal one of ours.

It is possible that Jews cooked this dish,or something similar on a Friday,so that they only had to h

No, it is not, not even close. There were no Jews in Poland then, and bigos at the beginning was tightly connected to hunting (Hunting Stew). It probably existed before the Piast dynasty. I listen to the so-called experts, and all of them are wrong in one crucial area, namely deer or wild boar meat. Some in Poland
use rabbits as a substitute. I hate the pungent meat nothing like deer.Deer is mild almost good equality beef, which I use abundantly, Pawian's contraption is an abomination, one of the worst.

Whether it's the forerunner of bigos taken to PL by French troops in the era of the genocidal t

Jon, Jon. Let me educate you. We made bigos in Poland before Napoleon was a wet dream in his father's ball sack.Bigos, AKA Hunters Stew, existed in Poland
as long as hunting, which is a very long time before Poland existed as an organized entity. Accept that there is no need to subtract from what is rightfully ours.

Red barszcz for uszka is prepared with a fair amount of pepper, dried mushroom extract, and just a few drops of vinegar. It is not dull or bland, but delicious.

for myself, it contains sausage, beans, kasha. You don`t need white one.

Beautiful picture, one of your best love red baszcz but only with uszka during Christmas holidays, but the best of the best is Pink soup, a delicacy served only
in the most exclusive French restaurants.

Life / Unique medical treatments/practices/remedies from Poland [21]

No medicaments for it, only gel and antibacterial rinsing fluid. And time.

I have used Neti Pot every morning for many years. Since starting the practice, I have never had any problems with my sinuses or throat. Many get discouraged because
it can be painful if not used correctly. Neti pot holds about a cup of water. Use warm water; cold will hurt, so will hot. Deslove about one-quarter teaspoon of the powdery salt in the neti pot full of warm water, turn your head sideways, flush your right nostril, then left, and say goodbye to colds, sore throats, and painful sinuses used daily. Practice deriving from old Hindu folk medicine called Ayurveda. Gift for a healthy life.Even a wretch like you needs a helping hand.

Ptak, talk to PiS rightists who are dreaming about nukes.

Yes, but I focus on your dangerous, irresponsible messages, even naming, non-existent Polish nukes for Russian cities, thus guaranteeing a fiery end to our
fatherland. My question is, why are you so bloodthirsty, so blinded by emotions, so black and blue at the hands of the Club Zbuntowanych Kokoszek?

The deer around here are relatively healthy,but I seriously consider the possibility that the parasites are consuming remaining part of your brain

What's with the curiously aggrieved tone?

Maf, I was not talking about you; I was talking to Milo after his comment about Irish seafood being the best in the world. So, the aggravated tone is justifiable.
I could write a book about my seafood adventures. I am a connoisseur and a lover of seafood. Moments ago, I finished eating my dinner of 20 butterfly shrimp
as a main course.

do small local places even still exist?

They certainly do but you have to avoid tourist infection like plague; in my previous post I forgat to mention, without a doubt, the world's best-stuffed flounder
I discovered in the Cape Hetteres, in the back alley restaurant with the floor so warped you were lucky not to fall and twist your ankle. Oh, the flounder was stuffed to the gills with crab meat.

@ mafketis

Not only exist by the millions but thrive; you only need to drop snobbish attitudes, get off the tourist-infected tracts, and discover real Americans.
Not long ago, Milo, whom I like, well, maybe tolerate, foolishly declared that somewhere in Ireland's coastal area I served the world's best seafood, .
Nothing against Irish seafood, but God, how sacrilegious of a statement.Milo, did you ever frequent the bask waters of the Connecticut coast, mainly Niantic
and the restaurant only natives know about it, and ordered a combo plater from Haven. Have you ever visited Barrier Islands and ordered soft shell crab, or fresh shrimp straight from the boat and a boiled five-pound portion of the delicacy, or the bushel of blue crabs? How about the combo of lobsters from a street-side vendor
on Desert Island in Maine. So Milo, if you ever do, then we can discuss the world's best seafood.

Nobody mentions even Gavrilo Princip. And that Serbian student literally killed for Poland.

Don't expect much from the ignorant crowd, love the Slavic spirit of Serbian people, best example is the Serbian basketball team, a relatively small country
nearly won the gold, leading USA, the overwhelming favorite, for most of the game.Unbelievable.I also applaud your call for Slavic unity, just drop the Russians.

After that memorable dinner, I made my own kfc.

KFC dinner was followed by dessert, that cake was really good and later by Polish style cold meats and salad.

Your wife is a fantastic talent, but your not-so-Polish bigos, to this day, torture me in my nightmares.
