What do you do with mustard which remains at the bottom of the plastic bottle and refuses to be squeezed out??? I cut the bottle in half and scoop the mustard with my finger straight into the mouth. Delicious!!!

Not yet but if it is necessary to protect them from Russian Lancet drones, then it will be done. Or a better system will be used.

Something for us to discuss.

I am not so prone to discuss things with manipulative imperials. ;):):)

Life / Polish sentimental ballads [38]

Urszula used to sing for the famous group Budka Suflera in 1980s. The group`s leader, Romuald Lipko, composed for her many songs, some of which became eternal hits.

Dandelions, kites, wind

We will wake up cuddled
At midday of summer
At the end of the world
In a great meadow,
Warm and trembling

Everything will be so new
and so first.
The blood is so thick,
so grateful to you.
With you, safe,
above us

Dandelions, kites, wind
Far away from the concrete world
Like paralyzed
Divinely tired
Listen
Music on strings plays
To you in the sky I followed
you, I breathe You
I burn and disappear
Come with me

The last M1A1 Abrams tanks already in Poland

A transport of 47 M1A1 FEP Abrams tanks arrived in Poland . These are machines that previously served in the US Marine Corps. They have undergone a very serious modification, increasing their combat power.
Thanks to the latest delivery, all 116 ordered M1A1 FEP Abrams tanks are now in our country. The deliveries were completed in less than a year, as the first tanks arrived in Poland on June 28, 2023.

The new Abrams will first go to the Competence Center of the Military Automotive Works in Poznań. There they will undergo deconservation and appropriate inspection. After all the work, they will go to Polish soldiers . It is worth adding that the latest delivery, in addition to the tanks, includes 26 M1152A1B2 HMMWV workshop vehicles.

Poland purchased 116 M1A1 FEP Abrams tanks from the USA for approximately USD 1.4 billion. Their purchase is the result of supplementing the equipment transferred to Ukraine after the Russian invasion. According to available data, so far we have sent Ukrainians over 250 older T-72M/M1 and T-72MR tanks, 60 PT-91 Twardy tanks and 14 Leopard 2A4 tanks.

Before the war, Poland purchased as many as 250 brand new M1A2 SEPv3 tanks . This is the latest variety of American tanks, constituting a generational leap compared to the already complemented Abrams tanks. Deliveries of the M1A2 SEPv3 version are scheduled to start this year and last until 2026. Then the Polish Army will have the largest fleet of Abrams tanks in Europe.

Have you ever tried Viking's Platter Mustard

No, but I got myself two jars of Jerusalem mustard. Mild, and the garlic and onion are completely lost in it. Typical table mustard.

Food / Poles prefer pizza & kebab? [73]

I ate kebab only once in my life - about 20 years ago when the fad started.

According to data presented by reporters of the "Uwaga!" program TVN , about five million Poles eat kebabs every day. According to TNS OBOP research, kebab has become the most popular dish eaten outside the home - it is chosen by 40 percent of the inhabitants of our country. For comparison, 29 percent choose local cuisine and 23 percent choose pizza.

Kebab is served in 25,000 bars, restaurants and stands in our country. But what are we actually eating when we reach for this dish? Inspections of food quality services revealed irregularities in 80 percent. catering points. In nearly three-quarters (74.8%) of cases, these irregularities concerned ingredients that were supposed to be in the dish but in fact were not there. More than half (54%) found that the kebab lacked the declared type of meat, for example mutton, or contained chicken instead of beef.

Analysis of meat samples, commissioned by reporters of the "Uwaga!" program TVN, showed that the popular delicacy also contains wheat and soy. - We found a fairly wide composition of plant species in the samples used for two samples, even though they were not vegetarian kebabs - he told "Attention!" Michał Dąbrowski from the SGS Polska Laboratory. Contrary to the declarations of kebab sellers, the kebabs that were examined did not contain mutton. - We did not detect any mutton in any of the samples - noted Dąbrowski. - These declarations should be treated with caution - he added.

Life / Will Poland ever be multicultural like Sweden, Germany or France? [283]

A local beauty contest in the city of Rzeszów was won by Victoria Forest who isn`t as white as most Polesses. Her victory :):):) caused a huge commotion in rightist and nationalist media:
On Saturday, May 11, the final gala of the Miss Podkarpackie Voivodeship 2024 competition took place at the Prezydencki Hotel in Rzeszów. As the organizers emphasized, the task of this competition was to bring freshness and new quality to the image of local beauty contests. Finally, the most beautiful residents of Podkarpacie were selected from among 24 finalists. One of them was Victoria Forrest, who received the title of "Polish Miss Rzeszów".

However, the 24-year-old did not enjoy her title in peace for too long. Tomasz Sommer, editor-in-chief of the biweekly "Najmiesz Czas!", criticized her choice on Twitter. The website nczas.info published an article in which it was written that Victoria "doesn't look like a resident of Podkarpacie" and her choice is "imposing multiculturalism on Poles." "There are no more beautiful Polish girls in Rzeszów?" - you can read in the nczas.info article.

Many similar comments about Polish Miss Rzeszów 2024 have already appeared on right-wing websites and social media. For this reason, Victoria Forrest does not hide her resentment. She said on Instagram that since winning the competition, she has been facing a lot of criticism online and added that if possible, she will take legal action in this matter.

"I can't believe it, the scale of rudeness and hatred that has reached me in recent days is simply indescribable. Some of you can't get over the fact that I won. This is so pathetic. I won't leave this matter so easily," wrote the 24-year-old.

News / Does Polish hotel have right to turn down Americans and Israelis? [79]

country which practises Nazi final solution on Palestinians

I wrote in another thread:
I prefer a better analogy - brutal German pacifications of Polish villages which supported forest partisans. Germans surrounded the village, murdered men, women and children and then claimed they eliminated a few dozen partisan Polnische Banditen.

That`s exactly what Nazi Israelis are doing in Gaza - they murder civilians claiming they are Hamas fighters.
That is why calling them Nazis is fully grounded. And this opinions is spreading all over the world like a hurricane.

Travel / Jazz in Poland [27]

American double bassist Avishai Cohen found out that there is no jazz without politics. He had just played at a Kremlin-backed Moscow jazz festival, so two Polish festivals canceled his concerts.

Avishai Cohen is a renowned American double bassist. He regularly visits Poland and plays with musicians from all over the world - for over a decade he was in Chick Corea's trio , and also performed, among others, with jazz figures such as Bobby McFerrin, Roy Hargrove, Herbie Hancock, Nnenna Freelon and Paquito D'Rivera.


He is currently giving concerts in Europe, his next album "Brightlight" will be released in the fall. As part of the tour, he visited, among others: Moscow Jazz Festival - an event whose main sponsor is Gazprombank, the Kremlin bank financing Russian propaganda, but also the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives and the Moscow Department of Culture. It is difficult to ignore this fact when Russia has been attacking Ukraine for over two years.

Food / Polish mustards [134]

One more mustard which seems a long run - Juniper! Advertised as hot.
SPICY JUNIPER MUSTARD
Very spicy mustard made of black and white mustard with the addition of juniper seeds, which will satisfy the tastes of even the greatest connoisseurs of spicy mustards.

Ingredients: water, white mustard, spirit vinegar, sugar, black mustard, vegetable oil, salt, bee honey, acidity regulator: citric acid; spices, color: curcumin

Available weights:
200g, 300g pet, 5 kg, 10 kg bucket

Shelf life:
6 months from the production date


Check the site of the company which makes it. Traditions since 1880.

musztardykonik.pl/produkty/

We are a manufacturer distinguished by traditional cold production technology, i.e. a process that preserves the nutritional value of ingredients and does not lose the vitamins they contain. The creamed mustards are aged, cooled and slowly mixed for two days. No preservatives or thickeners are used in the production process.
Currently, most mustards on the market are pasteurized, vacuum degassed and hot packed.
This production technology radically reduces production time and costs, but reduces the nutritional value, vitamin content and taste of mustards.

Mustards with Konik - the only one in Poland and one of three in Europe - a mustard manufacturer operating continuously since the 19th century and still using traditional cold mustard production technology. Our flagship product - mustard cream with honey, has been in continuous production for almost 100 years according to exactly the same recipes, which is unique on the Polish food market. Currently, the company produces eight types of mustards: Sarepka, table-delicatessen, Kremska, horseradish, mayonnaise and horseradish, old French, juniper and our legendary mustard cream with honey. Traditional ketchups with mild and spicy flavors are also produced

The factory was established in 1880 thanks to the involvement of Jan Lebenstein, who came from the former Congress Poland. It developed in the heart of Zwierzyniec on the road between today's Emaus and Królowej Jadwigi streets. It produced vinegar and various types of mustard. Its name referred to the rich traditions of mustard production from Dusseldorf, a powerful mustard basin in Rhineland-Westphalia.

Still a better place than Moscow for you. hahaha

. Poland has a choice: to stay in the EU or come under Russia's wing.

Those nationalists and rightists are too narrow-minded to understand it. Or just stupid. That is why I call them homo sovieticuses.
