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

due to shortages of meat.

Wait, isn't Kotlet schabowy meat ?
I can buy them at my local Polish store here in the U.S. (either chicken or pork) for 'about' 20 zloty per kg.
Quick and easy, just toss them in a fry pan with some butter and brown them.

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

you seldom show any reason in other threads, so when you showed some here at last I was a little flabbergasted. I am sorry. :)

Apology accepted.
I really do plan on coming to Poland and I do love good food so this thread was of extreme interest to me.
In other threads I am usually responding to rude hateful people which brings the worst out in me.

I feel I have to eat fatty foods because that`s what I want subconsciously.

It's called 'self control' buddy.
kaprys said it the best, "all in moderation".

As for your Grandma's cooking, did she die at forty from a heart attack?

You got me fair and square on that one.......she lived to be 99.
If you are young and very active, getting lots of exercise, Poland's heavy foods would be less risk of a heart attack then if an old man like me who's metabolism has all but shut down sat down to three big meals a day and ask for seconds.

I just can't eat food like that anymore without packing the fat pounds on even if I eat in moderation.

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

but showing it here would be boring.

No more then plates of grease and fats shown here with a bright colored vegetable.

So, one request - don`t judge our cooking ways so superficially after seeing only a dozen pictures in this thread. :):)

Awe come on Pawian, play fair, my Polish grandmother cooked thousands of meals for me.
The topic of your thread is asking the members here a question and for their opinion.
You ask for my opinion and then tell me not to judge because you don't like my answer.
My opinion is that Polish food is very heavy with grease and fats that are very unhealthy for humans.
I label it "artery clogging food" as any nutritionist would.

Yes, that is why I never eat meat solo.

And your point to that is ?
You are still eating all those dangerous saturated and trans fats aren't you ?
Eating a pickle with them isn't going to change that fact.
Those toppings of cream cheese and such that the Polish pour on really cap the heart attack waiting to happen.
My opinion and just saying......

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

eating healthily is not rocket science.

No but we are creatures of habit.
When I use to eat ground beef I would slap on some cheese with mayo & ketchup on a bun...... all by habit.
Now I put it on half a bun with onion, pickle and mustard.
Little things like that can add up by the end of the week big time to feel better.

Moderation is the key.

Absolutely it is.
If you want to look real healthy...... always be just a little bit hungry.

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

Yes, but life is generally a fatal disease.

True but having a stroke at 40 and being paralyzed the rest of your life or dying just because you eat horrible food is just dumb.

Personally I don't eat dead animals guts and stay on a white meat diet like occasionally chicken and pork.
The organs of an animal is where all the toxins build up and are stored.
Polish breads and pasta's are loaded with sugar.
Polish meats, sausages and cheeses are pure saturated fat and trans fats which are horrible for you.
I prefer to stick to my baked fish or chicken with tons of steamed vegetables.

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

you clearly stated that meat should have more fibre..

Perhaps you would like to quote where I said any such thing.

...what you said was too simple to misunderstand.:):)

Obviously not as you sure missed the point.

all this 'heart clogging' is a myth anyway..:):)

You really should stop before you embarrass yourself anymore than you have already.
Atherosclerosis or the development of plaque inside the arteries makes them narrow and this can lead to serious health problems like heart attack and stroke.

This plaque is made up of fats; and the two main culprits leading to the development of plaque formation are saturated fats and trans fats which are found in many food items like the ones shown on this page.

Myth ? Hardly Love.

I guess you guys misunderstood me Love.

Seems all these Polish foods shown lack any fiber.

My point, all the foods recently mentioned were heart cloggers.

and if anyone is embarrassing themselves here on this forum, it is you.

And that's another difference between Americans and Eurp's, us Americans know how to laugh at ourselves when we mess up but you Eurps have a mini meltdown and throw a hissy fit from your embarrassment of being wrong.

I was so very sure that the thread was: What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods?
And all the recent foods mention here contained no fiber, only fat, grease and sugars.
Wasn't I ask for my thoughts ?
Well those are my thoughts o.k.
You would have thought you farted in church the way you embarrassed yourselves.

History / Modern myths and legends about communist past in Poland [250]

Where do you see youngsters falling for the lies of socialism?

stream.org/time-wean-millennials-lies-socialism/#
All around the world with Venezuela recently topping the list as a failure.
Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy.
Even in the land of milk and honey like America Socialism is flurrying where the youth are sucking up Crazy Bernie.
Free free free but the Socialist don't know how they will pay for all the free things they want like healthcare, universities and etc.

Those lies........as someone has to pay for those things in the end.
Nothing is free.

Travel / American Visiting Polish Military Base. Issues? [13]

And to get back ON-Topic of the thread here.
It doesn't matter what country you are in including the Great United States of America, you aren't just going to be allowed to stroll into any countries military bases foot loose and fancy free without authorization and tight security clearances and still be only allowed in certain areas of it.

I know I would not do that in Russia!

Then why would you think American military bases in Poland are any different ?

Travel / American Visiting Polish Military Base. Issues? [13]

Americans wont require visas to visit Schengen countries like Poland,

That's because American's don't over stay their 90 days allowed stay time without a visa in Schengen countries like Poland.
(This has been explained very clearly now multi times here)
In fact so many Polish want to live in the Great United States of America that they abused the visa system merely to get a free ticket into America without any intentions of ever returning back to Poland again.

The United States of America Immigration finally said 'enough' and now require much more stringent visa measures to apply for entry to the Great United States of America, the Home of the Brave and the Land of the Free.

Now that we have explained that to the whiners that think Americans should be punished for a privilege that we do not abuse like they do we can hopefully put this one to rest once and for all.

Life / Owning a house in true countryside of Poland - stories [692]

When you are young those things don't cross your mind.
Then all of a sudden you are there starting retirement with an old worn out body.
You don't realize the steady unending maintenance that you are able to do (self maintenance) on your home when you are young.
Especially one in the country where there is always something to repair such as a plugged septic tank or a broken water well pump.
Country living is a lot more expensive and inconvenient then city living.
The freedoms and privacy of country living come with a price.

Study / Various education and school issues in Poland. Opinions, stories, controversies. [1006]

I have some pen pals in Poland that attend universities.
One of the most common complaints I hear about their instructors is that they demand to be treated like little gods.
You dare not to question them or disagree with them without fearing a failing grade.
Is this true that some ego maniac instructors use their authority to bully students in Poland ?

Russia is angry at Poland over WWII anniversary snub.
Russia expressed anger Wednesday that President Vladimir Putin has not been invited to ceremonies marking the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II in Poland later this year.

Study / Various education and school issues in Poland. Opinions, stories, controversies. [1006]

It's not just the teachers in Poland that are under paid.

Some uneducated people dont value educators

That's not what I said nor was my point.
What I said was:

The teachers union has become the strongest union in the country. So strong you can't even fire a useless teacher.

Having such a strong union eliminates the culling the dead weight teachers.
I continued with my point as to not let this happen in Poland.
Good example of dead weight teachers are the not so brilliant ones that post anti-Christian and their Socialist Commie propaganda here all day.

United they Stand,

Be careful and don't let what happened in the U.S.A. happen in Poland.
The teachers union has become the strongest union in the country.
So strong you can't even fire a useless teacher.
Their benefit packages have become absolutely ridiculous.

They officially do 18 classes a week to have a full time post

WoW - Three and one half back breaking classes a day !
And with weeks of holiday vacation off, summers off, personal days off, holidays off, seminars off, jerk off.........
Add up the actual hours these teachers work and divide their salaries into that.
AND then the benefit packages for life that drip with greed.
They have 100% free health care, dental care, prescription care, ridiculous pensions for life, 401k packages after retirement too.

Good look to them

Be careful what you wish for as once you get a worthless teacher in that union it is impossible to get rid of them.
The majority of the Liberal over paid teachers in the U.S.A. are worthless and not worth their weight in salt thanks to the teachers union.

Hope Poland takes a hard look at our huge mistake.

You shouldn't of chosen such a ****** low wage job....

Therapy is where the money is.
"One recent survey shows 3 OUT OF every 5 MILLENNIALS (58%)...regard their lives more stressful now than EVER Before !"
The poor little Snowflakes graduate from their Politically Correct Safe Rooms without any exposure to REALITY what so ever.
They have always deserved a participation trophy stress free.
In Poland Daddy is required to pay their way until they are 27 years old isn't it ?
Slow Wi-Fi is more stressful then slow traffic to them.
A good therapist charges ten times what a teacher gets just to listen to these useless cry babies and pamper their hurt feels and stress.

And it is only getting worse making the demands for therapists even greater.
Glad I could help you out Pawian.

Life / Why does Poland need racial diversity? Opinions [67]

Well of course the employers encourage the cheapest labor they can get.
That has NOTHING to do with racial diversity as there is an abundance of Ukrainians that are willing to do such jobs.
The gates are wide open for White Ukrainians that acclimate and blend in to Poland's culture which is similar to their own.

Cheap Arab/Indian labour is powering the Polish economy.

No, it is the Ukrainians that power Poland's economy so NO RACIAL DIVERSITY is needed.
Did ya get it this time or do you just want to argue.

Life / Why does Poland need racial diversity? Opinions [67]

That's not a question but a poorly disguised statementThe real question would be: Does Poland need racial diversity?

Those were my same exact sentiments Spike, thank you and very well put.
I just couldn't find myself to question a highly educated school teacher (voted teacher of the year multiple times) with my humble opinion.
A loaded question like Why does Poland need racial diversity? made me think it may be a trick question.

Life / Why does Poland need racial diversity? Opinions [67]

Poland seems like they are in a time warp.
Nice people and all but much catching up to do.
Diversity is the last thing Poland needs to stall progress anymore than it already endures.
Cheap labor is absolutely not the answer for progress.
Poland needs to offer good paying jobs to bring the educated Polish people back to Poland with new ideas.

USA, Canada / Will U.S. Citizens Need A Visa To Visit Poland Starting In 2021 [11]

I agree with you Iron as the road should run both ways.
The creation of a European Travel Information and Authorization System, or ETIAS, that will require "pre-travel screening for security and migration risks of travelers benefiting from visa free access to the Schengen area".

"Migration risk" ? Give me a break.
I now see that Poland is included in these E.U. countries called a Schengen area but Ireland and the U.K. are not.
More freedom of travel being taken away (restriction of travel to foreign countries) without the frogs in the warm boiling water even realizing it.

USA, Canada / Will U.S. Citizens Need A Visa To Visit Poland Starting In 2021 [11]

Most western liberal democracies are slamming Trump for demanding a wall be built on the U.S. southern border to prevent illegal immigrants from entering the US, Europe is about to erect a metaphorical wall targeting legal US travelers, because starting in 2021, U.S. citizens will need a visa to visit most European countries.

How many terrorists have come to the E.U. from the United States of America to make a legal U.S. tourists a threat ?
This is going to knock the hell out of tourism $$$$ in the E.U.
I hope this does not include Poland as happy as they would be for a little revenge.
I know for me, it wouldn't be worth the time, effort and expense to obtain one for any allie country in the E.U.

Well except for Poland that is.

Off-Topic / Russophiles can no longer defend their beloved Russians. [84]

The information is extremely detailed and shows Russia's guilt beyond doubt....

Russia's parliament has advanced strict new internet laws allowing the authorities to jail or fine those who spread fake news or disrespect government officials online.

msn.com/en-us/news/world/russia-to-jail-people-for-15-days-if-found-guilty-of-disrespecting-the-government/ar-BBUtxvY?li=BBnb7Kz&pfr=1

Did ya catch that last part Milo ?
What constitutes disrespect verses disagreeing on your own terms by exercising your freedom of speech ?
It short it's o.k. for the governments to disrespect it's citizens by lying but if you do it towards the government you go to jail............

Proving......"Whoever has the biggest hammer wins."
Damn I am so thankful, as a citizen of the U.S.A., for the Constitution of the United States of America.
