He lived in those godawful Communist slums, many of which, to Poland's shame, exist to this day.
You know the ones, where the caretaker controls the heating....

Why is the word something so difficult for you that you continually reduce it to sth.
Extremely annoying.

You are just showing yourself up more and more.
I can take the abuse because firstly, I know it's not true and secondly because it is coming from someone like you.

Keep to the subject of the thread please

And you still did not learn from your mistakes?
FB is not a suitable platform for teachers to interact with their students.
If you think it is, you are a poor teacher.

Facebook is what you make it.
I use it to keep in touch with family and friends.
If you are sensible and know what you are doing it can be an enjoyable tool.
Pawian obviously "friended" his students.
Big mistake.
You should never mix your personal life with work or the outside world.

What I love about languages, and I am no expert, I only speak 3 and a half.....is the different images the words throw up.
Many of them are untranslatable ( is that even a real word?) LOL!!!

No.
It suggests that he doesn't know how to cook without following instuctions.
Instructions on a packet food I might add.
Most of us learnt to cook by either being shown or from written recipes.
Sometimes it worked, sometimes it failed.
But in the end we learnt how to cook.
I only use timings as a rough guideline and NEVER measure ingredients.
I go with the flow, check on how my dish is cooking and taste at intervals (though that sometimes kills my appetite. .... :-( )
Cooking is an art.

Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1450]

Because many of us live in Europe and not The USA.
We eat much more healthily in Europe than you Americans.
So we bring the average up.
Despite the American diet.

Reading directions on a box about how to cook food tells me all I need to know about the bad eating habits of modern people in the west.

Have to disagree here Johnny,after music, sausages are one of my greatest loves :-)
I think that German and Polish sausages are pretty equal.
They are both superb because you can boil them, fry them, grill them, BBQ them, toss them in a stew and many of them can be eaten cold!

Czech,Slowak and Alsation are also very good.
But Poles and Germans are not so good with the dry, cured, salami style sausages.
Here, The French, Italians and Spanish rule.
I love French saucisson sec, but Hungarian salami is to die for....... especially the paprika infused ones.
Of course, none of these are good for you if eaten excessively.
So moderation and enjoyment should be key words.

Ok.
I was just curious about the similarity of the dishes and the name.
I know nothing of Persian cuisine.
Except that their kebabs are rather special......

Completely in agreement.
The church is not above the law.

True, but is there a Polish connection?

Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1450]

In my experience it was always pork or chicken.
But I didn't live in Communist Poland, so when we had Kotlet, they were always delicious.
Interestingly, Persians ( called Iranians now) also have Kotlet.
I wonder ir that has any Polish influence, from the war years?
