Study / School meals in Poland [145]

@johnny reb
@jon357
I totally get where both of you are coming from.
Jim is right, parents need to be more responsible.
Jon is right, if parents are not responsible then what is the point in prosecuting everyone?
Because then everyone, including the kids, suffer.
The answer lies in catching this stuff early, education and the threat of penalties on parents if they don't respect their responsibilities.
I agree with Jim, if adults are not capable or interested in raising their kids properly, then they should not have them.

Study / School meals in Poland [145]

If a kid doesn't like the food, they won't eat it

Exactly.

They're much more likely to eat it if they're not preached at

Also true.

Why is healthy food unappealing?

Because it often is.... as Maf said, Chicken breast may be healthy, but it is boring, tasteless and dull, unless
you add plenty of herbs and spices, but even then, other cuts with those same herbs and spices taste better.

chicken breast is the most boring meat in the world so you need to spice that mother up

Couldn't agree more.

A nice dish of pasta with salt-free tomato sauce

Sorry, but that is not appealing to me at all....

Great way to introduce kids to spices :)) which, coincidentally are very beneficial to health

Agreed 100% but that may be difficult in Poland.

Add some grated carrot and it counteracts the acidity.

This is true and something we do all tbe time.

You scare easy, kids need fat

The best comment in this thread Maf!

Not completely moronic

Yes, completely moronic because tbe kids will not eat it.

Sometimes that will be fish

Atch said Veggie.... so no fish allowed...
In the UK you may be able to get away with a veggie day by making it a spicey indian dish, but that won't work in Poland..

And anyway, spicey deep fried Indian food may be very nice but it is less healthy than a "Full English".

Study / School meals in Poland [145]

However, for some students that school dinner might be the only decent meal they get. More t

And this is the crux of the problem.
And as Kaprys and others have said, the "western" idea of "snacking" is a huge problem too.
It is better for the kids to have filling and fullfilling meals.
Atch's moronic idea of a "Vegetarian Day", would result in kids not eating that mush.... so they would either starve or eat junk....

If it was a sponge pudding it would be strangely unsweet with a barely visible smear of jam

LOL!!
You must be about my age Jon....

I got big portions though (not always desirable) being the son of one of the dinnerladies....

Lucky you :-)

Unless you mean Smash which is sold here now too

I can't remember if "Smash" was even around back then, but the spuds were grey, watery and inedible...

I was once served mushed potatoes

We used to get those same potatoes in English school dinners and they were all watery and inedible....

@delphiandomine

That menu looks pretty good to me.
Certainly better than the stuff we were fed when I was at school!

History / Where did Poles spend summer vacations in the PRL era? [63]

Most people took their holidays in Poland

Most Poles have in the past and still do, take most of their holidays in Poland.
Either by the sea, by lakes, by rivers, by forests or in the mountains.
In recent years some, mainly young Poles have gone abroad.

UK, Ireland / Why are Polish people, especially women, so disrespectful toward the English? [442]

Back to the topic

Interesting post.
As a British born person with Polish parents I do see where you are coming from.
But I do think that you denigrate Poles somewhat.
I know many intelligent Poles with a sense of humour that are capable of charming the ar$e off many English women....

Life / Popular and Practical Cars in Poland [51]

German cars are known for their reliability

Not anymore.
They are failing miserably.....Japanese and far eastern nation cars are much more reliable.

@Zlatko

There are Japanese cars in Poland but mainly Toyotas.
In general Poles buy European cars though, mainly German but there are a lot of Skoda's too.

UK, Ireland / Traditional Polish meat hut in the UK? [5]

As I have said on a different thread, the meat is no problem in the UK.
Just get a suitable table....if you can get a market stall one, all the better.

Genealogy / What are common Polish character traits? [425]

For Polish women it seems to be being argumentative

Nah, the problem is with old,fat, American men of German descent that like to pretend that they are Polish....

Genealogy / Do I look Polish? (my picture) [378]

Look, there is no such thing as a typical Polish look

That is not completely true.
Whilst there may not be a typical Polish look.
You cannot honestly tell me that in a foreign city you have not been able to identify Poles.....

Hey, it was just a guess.
You could have been either....or even Polish.... safe to say you look European :-)

Genealogy / Do I look Polish? (my picture) [378]

And I'm not American, I'm Belgian

Like I said, you would pass as a Pole but your look is not typical.
Now that you tell us you are Belgian, are you more French or more Flemish?
I am guessing French.....
