Food / What Polish foods and brands do you miss when you go to other countries? [216]

So what local fruit and veggies can you get where you live?

Like I said, almost the same things you can in Poland.
The sad part is fresh local produce has about a one month window before it is out of season again.

comes from differences in strawberry varieties

Yupper, the wild strawberries very small but are three times sweeter as the bigger domestic ones bred to stay fresh longer for the market that have little or no flavor.

Nothing sweeter then wild strawberry jam on toast or ice cream.

I understand that Kaprys.
Where I live by next month we will have everything that Poland can grow locally in our own back yards too.
That is why I ask where you lived abroad to miss Poland's seasonal fruits and vegetables in the summer.

Shipping does make a difference

It does on short shelf life fruits and vegetables but remember the size of the U.S.A. in land area compared to Poland so some fruits and vegetables have to be shipped.

Some things like Georgia peaches, Michigan black sweet cherries, Florida oranges, Hawaiian pineapples can't be beat in any State, shipped or not.
Does Poland grow mangoes, avocados and banana's that have to be shipped 1500 miles north and taste just like they were just picked fresh ?
The U.S. does so I can't understand where you went abroad to miss Poland's seasonal fruits and vegetables.

What I missed living abroad was these seasonal fruit and veggies that appear in summer

Where abroad ?
All of what you mentioned, strawberries, czeresnie cherries, broad beans, new potatoes, regular cherries, are all in season right now where I live except for plums.

You can still buy any seasonal fresh fruit or vegetable you want in the stores however because they are shipped in from Florida and Mexico.

Thank you.
I will give the bigos a try unless someone has a better suggestion.
I have always wanted to try their zurek wielkanocny so maybe get that for an appetizer to start with.
I am off to the lake to jet ski today to give the Mods a break.
Thank you again Lenka.

You may as well as it sounds to me like she already is cheating.
All women are horny and if she ain't getting it from you she is getting it from some place else.

Love / Do Polish Women age well? [153]

by the time they reach about the age of 34 they start looking hagged and unattractive. Shame.

That is the age it seems most Polish women lose their perkiness and start packing the pounds on.
They lose their smile and cop a nasty attitude for some reason at that age.
Not all but most.

Some of them don't look too bad.

We play the winner of the Sweden vs. Netherlands I think and when I googled the Netherlands my dog started howling.

I hope the U.S. plays Sweden as their players are easier to look at.
Have you googled "Sweden's Woman's Soccer Team" ?

Life / Place of Living Choice: Poland vs Hungary vs Germany [44]

(it's like an American city and it's exotic in Europe but that's the reason it feels cold and plastic to me).

I feel the same way about going to visit Warsaw after what my friends have told me who have visited there.
It's like going to Disney World, after a three days visit you have seen it all, after a week you are bored and ready to come home.

Ah ha, the plot keeps thickening as we go.
Just go get a vasectomy and be done with it.
Four rug rats are enough unless you want to get deeper in then you already are.

to attack Lenka

She attacked me like she has done in several threads in the last two weeks, I was just defending myself.
I learned that from you Baboon.

keep to the topic of the thread please

Yes and the Op said his wife had allergies from taking b.c. pills and that is why she didn't take them which was the first red flag of him being a troll.

(please read before you comment, it really won't kill you:)
In reality with respect to b.c. it is very rare for someone to be truly allergic to birth control pills
The reason is, with respect to birth control hormones, is the hormones are very much like your own hormones and it's unlikely that you're going to be allergic to it.

As to the man pill why didn't you suggest it to the OP then?

And there are also male contraceptive pills available now too.

( please read before you comment, it really won't kill you )

I hope you mean just to cool myself

Yes, to cool your bantering mouth of stalking me for no apparent reason.
I am in no way interested in you if that is what you are hoping for.......well maybe, PM your picture and your true weight.

Johnny please read before you comment, it really won't kill you:

Are you stalking/trolling me again today by starting out with your first post of the day, again, with more of your provoking comments darling.

How about you going and jumping in the nearest lake - trouble maker.

there are situation when a women cannot take the pill.

How will she know if she does not try.
There are millions of women in the world that are on the pill and they work just fine.
And there are also male contraceptive pills available now too.

(very sensible if she was already burnt once)

What ? for fulfilling a wife's duty or being ignorant to knowing how you get pregnant ?

That's what I was kind of thinking too Crow.
I'm sure you are the kind of guy that would offer your services free to show this poor guy how to stimulate his wife properly so she would be begging to have sex with you by the time you were done applying your expertise to make her hotter then a fire at Christmas time.

This is not uncommon with women.
One and done.
Sounds like she wants to be done.

as long as I don't get her pregnant

Tell if she really loves you that she should go get her tubes tide.
They can always reverse that procedure if she ever changes her mind

You do realise it's about Polish idioms

Absolutely - I just wanted to straighten your buddy out on his mistake.

or you kust don't care you are trashing another thread?

I'll take your trolling Bait as you have been throwing it out there all week looking for a fight with me.
Actually it is YOU and your cohort that have started all the drama here over nothing.
You two are Nudne jak flaki z olejem.

Language / Game - guess Polish idioms/sayings in direct English translation [1756]

you should have said in your example above pulling their legs, as the use of 'their' refers to more than one person,

True however you would still say pulling their leg. Pulling the classrooms leg, pulling the students leg, etc.
I have an idea.....why not Google "pulling their legs" and see what you come up with just for giggles.
I rest my case.

jr has yet to contribute anything about poland

Because when I do it just gets deleted so I gave up. Why waste my time ?
And it is spelled 'drama' that you just added to your post needlessly to BAIT with Buckwheat, not I.

never mind the mistake,

How convenient to dismiss the point/mistake of all of this. lol
Your mistake is what this is all about son.
I was merely correcting your mistake as this thread is about direct English translation.
My translation of "leg" is correct and your translation of "legs" is incorrect for that saying.
(Google it for yourself)
I know it is hard for school teachers to swallow their pride when someone shows them that they are wrong.
Wouldn't it much easier to just say, "thank you for pointing that out to me johnny, you are right".
And I have to get out on my riding lawn mower and get a couple acres of grass cut before the sun comes up over the hill and the horse flies come out to bite the living hell out of me.

Yes..... be blessed today.

Did you miss the word "meaning" ?
I was giving you the definition/meaning of pulling someone's leg and not legs.
Sorry that you were confused by this.
This is not the riddle thread so maybe that is why you got confused.
Either way, do have a blessed day. :-)

Did your hands grew to your a**?

Did your hands grow to your a**. (sarcasm)
I, as an American, would interpret that to mean, "you are sitting on your hands", (doing nothing) meaning you are not getting anything done that needs to get done.

when I am pulling their legs.

It is singular, (leg) pulling their leg, pulling your leg, pulling my leg, pulling his/her leg.
Meaning you must be joking or making something up not being serious.

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

He will never tell you as he is a wanted man dead or alive.

they work hard and don`t drink too much - no wonder they are quite wealthy.

Have you ever noticed that those two go hand in hand to be successful ?
You sound like a very blessed person Pawian to live where you do in the Polish countryside with people you have common interests with.
I grew up in a similar setting in the U.S.
Problem now is that a lot of very rich atheist snobs have seen what we have here and they want it too even though we stand for everything they stand against. lol

They have bought up homes here for twice their value (raising property taxes) making it unaffordable for many old timers to live here anymore.
Not only that but with them comes their drinking, drugs, immorality, godless thinking, pompous air that has ruined what we use to have here.
Be careful not to let that happen ( you can't stop what Political Correctness calls progress) as it will ruin not only the true Polish countryside but true Polish ethics of old Polish culture.
