Kadayif is nicer on its own, drizzled with honey or palm syrup.
It's fun seeing it made, being pressed into little molds.
As for that Dubai style filling

That's like the stuff I sometimes do in the Sahara for a quick meal due to there being nothing else.
Sort of grim.
They have much nicer stuff there.
I meant with pasta

Looks a lot like it. Some have the pastry in, some have pistachio cream.
A nicer one I've found (in the mena region, never in Europe) is a Turkish one (by Damak, a popular brand) that is dark chocolate with tiny bits of the pistachio pastry in and tiny bits of Turkish delight in.

Me too, a lot of uses. I'd not pair it with pasta though.
It can be nice with fresh soft fruit.

It doesn't look appealing but each to their own.
I saw a giant rat last night (the fuller-figured fluffy kind not the scrawny long ones) while lost in a dark hotel car park in Manchester last night. He looked a bit hungry and came up to me but sadly ran away when I said "here kitty kitty kitty".
He (or she) would definitely have eaten that.

Pasta with soft cheese?
An odd and strangely unpleasant combination, perhaps suitable for a hospital patient with severe gastric problems.
Pop some chilli flakes and capers in and it might be ok.
My local restaurant in Warsaw (now closed) used to do pasta with a mix of processed factory cheese (the 'topiony' stuff that's you see in Poland and in Africa that doesn't go off or really need refrigerating) and jalapeños.

There are so many threads about immigration here now, it would make sense to merge them into one.

Szklarska Poręba has a traditional semi-precious stone industry. A nice place to visit too.
Bigos that's been reheated for too long in a hot oven?
Seriously, some sort of resin?

A pointless exercise.
Germany really does need penalising for starting this charade. Poland are getting it wrong too.
Europe does need inward migration, and the new Germans are just as good as the old ones.
mainly because they had forgotten their documents, while on critical days, several-kilometer traffic jams were created on highways, which cost the Polish economy hundreds of millions of euros

Yes it's sad. Only thirty and that's no life at all.
He was certainly troubled and came from an extremely dysfunctional background however he still generally survived and was quite bright.
I always felt that there was a nice person underneath all the aggression. Despite the various convictions for the drugs, the hit and run and the assaults, and of course the spell inside that he said made him stronger, there was some decency in there.
If he'd lived longer, he may have started to turn out well.
It's sad he's gone.
he was a bit extreme and a bit of a wild child,but to die so young seems somehow unfair.

German and of course influenced by a Dane and in the end sort of goes back as a methodology to an Italian nobleman in Paris who hit his head on a branch. And he was of course an Aristotelian.
Achrichten is still a barm pot though.

I doubt that the people who died in the Holocaust were any more 'misfits' than the general population as a whole and in fact probably far less so given that they weren't the ones setting up einsatzgruppen, death camps and doing silly salutes and even sillier goose stepping and flaming torch rallies. Nevertheless, there doesn't seem to be much arse kissing either, given that the guy is posting actual wanted posters from presumably police portals.
It's hard to know what to to for the best. Merkel dropped a bollock with the 'Open Door' thing, however the blame is on her and her CDU, not the people who came. If you leave the door of your house open with a sign in multiple languages saying "please come in", people will come in. It is hard to blame someone for taking something that is being offered to them.
Most of them will be nice, decent, normal people (as most of your and our migrants certainly are) however there will also be bad 'uns among them, mostly younger men of the risk-taking age and used to a supportive (and self-regulating) tribal and extended family structure who can do and in the absence of stern cousins and aunties will do things they couldn't get away with at home where everyone in t( town and village knows them and may well be a relative. Small town/village people like me would understand it maybe more than someone from a capital city.
We've started deporting criminals now (regardless of ethnicity, loads sent back to Poland and Slovakia as well as places far away. Expensive and a hassle, however it needs doing since the level of migration to Europe will only increase and of course we only want law-abiding people without bigoted views.
'Achrichten' is a nutter though, and it's quite frankly a boring subject that is mentioned far too much here and of course posting in a forum about Poland will have fück all effect on internal policies within Germany.
these misfits ..... put them in ovens
