Life / Polish mentality towards Pakistan [108]

'paki' is offensive,

you know, i only hear this from non pakistanis. hmmm

I posed a question about Bhutto's assasination and it received a scant response, so I think the 'Polish mentality towards Pakistan' is a strange title. I wonder how much even the most educated and wealthy Pakistani's in Pakistan think about Poland.

that has nothing to do with posters origin.. it was a political situations and those who don't follow such things, won't comment as they have no clue... not that has stopped anyone before but you know what i mean..

Life / Polish mentality towards Pakistan [108]

the country has many other nice things to offer, beside its mountain for expeditors :)

i am sure but that is probably the main thing of interest or at least most known about.

how many times have we read the same about polish...?

lol.. my thought's exactly.

cause they dont speak any english so its hard to comunicate, but im polite to them.

what? i have never met a paki that didn't.. are you sure about this? english is an official language over there.

Life / Polish mentality towards Pakistan [108]

I am a Paki livin in waw from 3 years and in these 3 years Im not able to figure out what do Poles think of Pakistan.

i'm guessing that there is very little thought about paki.. it's out there in central asia.. no real effect on PL except for mountain expeditions.

Love / Polish Women Versus Your Local Women ? [289]

No.There is difference.American women are not used to european approach and respond much better.European women are more tricky.

maybe it's you that changes your approach.. i really haven't noticed much of a diffeerence. my experience with non-us women is definitely not what it is with ameicans though.

Americanized Polish women are gold diggers.

i don't think this has anything to do with americanization.

Love / Polish Women Versus Your Local Women ? [289]

Polish women have desire to please but some of them lack skills.It is true.I do not know why.

ok, i'll go with that as i realy disagree with your other statements.

Polish women are very goal-minded.

i think this applies to all polish people regardless of gender.

having said that, i think euro women tend to hold better households, are way harder working and aren't as b!tchy (in charge) as their western counterparts.

Food / Healthy polish food? [143]

Unfortunately, not very polish.

actually it is very polish.

golabki
barszcz
krupnik

actually, i think a lot of the food is pretty healthy.

food has really not that much to do with obestity though.. it is the couch potatoe thing that does one in. calorie intake is much more importnat then fat amounts anyway.

and alright patricja.. i agree with you on something for a change.. lack of carbs leads to malnutrition. we need them more then most peeps think.

and to the vegeterian amongs us: try cauliflour soup or pickle soup.. yum and no dead creatures. :)

Food / What exactly is Polish Bread? [91]

So I think that maybe there isn't a "Polish" bread exactly, but a "Central-East European" bread which is firmly based on rye+yeast manufacture.

rye isn't exclusively polish, true.. but i have never had anything even similar to the "chleb zwykly (ordinary bread)" or wiejski chleb outside of polish circles.

Food / Polish Potatoes [48]

to make mash potato extra tasty add some real butter not marg.

yeah, that's what i normally do but restaurants and grandmas must do something besides all that as they mashed taters taste different. still not sure what it is.. maybe buttermilk or something..

Travel / Collection of dress codes in Poland - what to wear? [96]

your sunday's best... for sure.. pick a church, any church.. they are all old and cool. :) then the following sunday pick a different one.. you probably ought to start on Wawel and work from there.

2 churches on Rynek are very cool too.. even if you don't go to mass, go and check them out.. the artwork is awe inspiring.

Food / Polish Sour Milk / Maślanka [44]

that method can be also used to make your own cottage cheese.

you actually heat it after it has separated. in the US the milk and all associated products are pasteurized so letting it stand only makes it spoil not move on to another phase. there are natural products available at the "health food" stores that an addition of helps with natural cheese making process.

btw. it takes a lot of milk to make cheese. 1gal makes maybe one serving of farmer's cheese.
