but how many Polish Americans generations later still eat traditional meals?
Very few I suspect.The difference between Polish Americans and Anglo Poles is quite acute.Most Polish Americans are talking about great grandparents or even further back. Anglo Poles mainly came to the UK during or after WW2.So much more recent, even my kids had Polish grandparents!
@Lenka Obviously not filmed in Poland.I somehow missed the flute in there but heard plenty of good Sax.
Not a bad song though!
I have followed Mela Koteluk for many years now because I love her voice and music. So I am just posting songs from her tonight.This song title roughly translates as "Why trees say nothing".
This song title translates as "Walk Away".
This song was the title track to her debut album and translates as "Parachute".
This is my last post from Mela Koteluk tonight, I struggle to understand the point of her lyrics, no, that is not because of my poor Polish, but because the lyrics are rather obscure, but perhaps they are meant to be.The song title means "Invisible" and the extensive use of red and white in the video adds to the mystery about what this song is about.Whatever!It's a great song!
Also, for Americans, stew implies chunks of meat with potatoes, carrots and onions (among other things) but not cabbage.
This is a discussion about the Polish dish called Bigos.The American "opinion" is irrelevant.Why do Yanks, even ones like you, who have lived in Poland for a long time,seem to think that the American opinion matters?
I am so pleased to see that some people are trying to keep this thread alive.I was weaker than you and gave up when it was getting little response. Good luck with your efforts!I hope enough posters join and support this thread! Lenka, your post was superb!
