Food / Traditional Polish Foods [141]

Polish cheese cake can't even hold a candle to New York cheese cake

I would have to disagree. For me, that type of cheesecake is too rich and creamy. Polish cheesecake is not as dense and 'heavy'.

Just demonstrating a little local pride

Nothing wrong with that!

You mean those beef wrappings, stuffed with pickled cucumber???

That's the dish although I've had it with other fillings not just pickled cucumber. I think there's quite a lot of variation with filling content.

I also really like Pierogi Ruskie and the pierogi stuffed with lung although I've forgotten the name of it now.

What's your favorite Polish dish?

That's a tough one. There's a few. If I had to choose it would be Zrazy.

Sernik for dessert.

when I was up over $10,000 profit on VUG and up over $11,000 profit on VOO. 😏

If you're that well-off then perhaps you could donate more than a measly $5 to PF.

the brother and sister duo from Kwiat Jabłoni aka Apple Flower are children of another popular musician - Kuba Sienkiewicz,

I posted about it a few months ago. They're also related to Krystyna Sienkiewicz:

What if you eat it every day like peasants in the prewar period?

But you're not going to do that.....

I liked it because it reminded me of greens which aren't really a thing in most of Europe

I've never tried any of the greens you mentioned!

dill

I like dill but I have to say I think it's a bit overused in Polish cooking. It seems to go in everything.

I have never made it myself due to its harmful effects.

I think you would have to consume it in large quantities. I doubt a bowl of soup is going to do much damage.

Then as a Polish bar to appeal to the local Polish population

That's what happened to one of the restaurants here too. Guess they were trying to just stay open but it didn't last long. Same with the Polish shops. We had 5 in a small area and now there are 3 remaining.

It does look nice though and I'll try and go next time I'm there

It's a good menu, there's a few things I'd go for for on it.

If they depended only on Polish customers, they would go bankrupt soon.

Always best to diversify ;)

sorrel

Never tried it. Or know anyone else that's made sorrel soup for that matter.

Off-Topic / Polish Music. [273]

we both got mesmerised by the flute section in this song:

It's a good song.

I somehow missed the flute in there

Words fail me!

The Kult song reminds me of 70s prog rock.

Mela Koteluk

I like her music too. With the exception of the first song, I enjoyed all the others.

Yes it is. I'm testing resizing my photos on PF's link to a new site. Works on photos on my laptop but not from my mobile.

Rosół and schabowy are a typical Polish dinner.

I know, but how many Polish Americans generations later still eat traditional meals?

They had a mix of Polish dishes, English ones and international ones like pizza, pasta, burgers.

The couple of restaurants near me used to serve up very similar. Both have shut down now though.

Do you know why???? :)

Not everyone wants to eat only Polish food? Maybe not all Pol-Ams would know what traditional Polish dishes there are? Especially if they don't speak the language.

For example. not everyone would know that Rosół is chicken soup.

I ran into this menu today

It says Polish American home cooking, but much of the dishes on the menu are more American than Polish in my opinion.

you have uploaded some bastard update that has £ucked it all up.

Admin is trying to sort it out for me but nothing's working at the moment. It's something to do with old code in my brower's cache but clearing it is not working.

This is as old song, rerecorded few years ago

Wow! That sounds amazing! Better than the Bajm original in my opinion.

gave up when it was getting little response.

All you have to do is post the Polish songs you're putting in the other music thread in this one instead.

I am just using Google Chrome and have no problems

Yet. Tried Chrome as well and I still have the same problem.

Writing a post has become a nightmare.

The box is so narrow I can see only 2 lines of the text. And nothing helps.

Exactly. It happens every time I write a post. I haven't bothered posting that much as it's too much of a pain. Already I can see the arrows are still here.

Chrome / Edge / Opera should have no problems.

Nothing has changed. It's still the same. I can only see a couple of lines of text.

What arrows, screenshot possible?

I'm going to give it a try now. This only happens on my laptop, not my mobile.

Firefox/Safari don't support the auto-grow textarea feature yet, but they will soon.

I have no idea what you mean. I don't use either of those browsers. I use Edge and it's been fine until recently, so there's obviously been some new change. I just want more than a 2-3 cm window to write in and to get shot of the arrows.

The forum categories are back though :)

I would also like to know what's going on with the post box/text window? It used to expand with writing a post but now I have a couple centimetres to write in and my replies disappear from view the more I write.

There are scrolling arrows on the right hand side of the box to go back and forth but the whole thing is not user friendly. Can it go back to normal please. What arrows, screenshot possible?

I've tried checking/unchecking the box next to preview but it doesn't appear to change anything. I remember years ago this 'feature' was introduced and no-one liked it then. I would just like to see my whole post without it being hidden from view. Is there a way to get rid of the arrows? Yes, Firefox/Safari don't support the auto-grow textarea feature yet, but they will soon.

I'm liking the forum categories in plain view now on mobile.

Not sure what's going on but on mobile there are now no forum categories in sight. Anyone else have this problem?

I'm gonna show you how difficult it is for me to "Bold" or "Italicize" things on my phone.

I know Bobko. I've had the same problem. Along with a couple of other reasons it's why I rarely use a mobile. For me, it requires too much effort. Usually, I wait until I'm back from work to post something on my laptop.

Keep up with the suggestions though! Always good to see improvements :)
