News / Polish President Lech Kaczynski and gov officials die in a plane crash in Russia [686]

you're digging too deep because of the prevoius history between Poland and Russia.The Last information that has come out is that the pilots were landing too low and too fast.They were told to abort and did not reply.The plane hit the top of a tree line and crashed.!!!. Note---"Although air traffic controllers generally have the final say in whether it's safe for a plane to land, they can leave the decision to the pilot's discretion. There are reports that the pilot made several attempts at a landing before the plane struck some trees on its approach and crashed."

"In the Polish government, the president is commander in chief of the country's armed forces, but the domestic duties of the role are mainly symbolic. Kaczynski, 60, had been president since December 2005".The duties of running the country are still with the Prime Minister---who is Donald Tusk

Food / Traditional Polish Soups. [85]

Here is an exerpt what I found---"We tend to associate snails with France, but there is a historic snail-eating culture in Britain dating back at least 2,000 years. And in Somerset in the Sixties, the chef Paul Leyton popularised snails further when he invented Mendip Wallfish, a dish in which they are cooked with butter and herbs. But you can use snails in many other ways – with, say, wild rabbit cooked in cider, or like this, as a soup garnish."

Food / Polish v Western farm produce? [14]

No difference here in Canada.We get fruits and vegetables from Florida ,California and South America cheaper than it is to buy it locally.We live in the fruit and vegetable belt of southern Ontario and it's way cheaper to buy from the States ,Chile and Peru.The only good part of having our own is if you want it fresh then you buy local and pay a premium for it.

Food / Traditional Polish Soups. [85]

Another Polish favourite is "Kapusniak z Kiszonej Kapusty "(Sauerkraut Soup).Great with smoked meat and mushrooms.Also fried bacon can be added for extra flavour.

Food / What exactly is Polish Bread? [90]

Polish bread is not a secret recepie but the way it's made.no artificial preservatives and no ingrediants that you can't pronounce.Also the ovens have a lot to do with the flavour.We have tried making it but it's much cheaper just to go to the Polish store-Staripolska-and pick up a couple of fresh loaves.While there we also get the Polish kielbasa--What a great combination to eat !!!!

Food / Do you call it kiszka or kaszanka? [55]

This is interesting---you can try " the Jewish version of kiszka which is made by stuffing a beef intestine with matzo meal and szmalec as well as spices (sounds yummy, can't wait to eat it! Not! Just kidding, it's really good in my opinion). Paprika is one of the spices used, and depending on the amount of paprika used, the color of kishka can range from grey-white to brownish-orange".

hERE IS WHAT I FOUND OUT ON THIS SUBJECT-----
"Polish blood sausage is called kiszka. (More accurately, it's called kaszanka, which is a type of kiszka, or sausage. But in the US, kiszka seems to have become an accepted nickname for kaszanka.)

Food / Polish Milk Soup [72]

I guess we should respect the requests for recepies by the writers because no two people have the same likings for food, whether the recepies are good or bad.Living in different parts of the world is what gives us our tastes for the many varieties of foods.

We have a different variation if this soup and it is tasty------

2 carrots
2 quarts water
1 tablespoon flour

Life / Doughnut [Pączki] Day... in Poland [70]

Paczki, the Polish donuts, are very popular. Traditionally eaten on Fat Thursday, (Tlusty Czwartek), New Year's celebrations, Birthday Parties, and special occasions. There are many recipes for paczki, fruit filled Polish pastry. Some call for cream, some for vodka or rum. The traditional most famous Polish Paczki are filled with home made rose bud marmalade, finished with delicate flavored icing,and are simply delicious, so light, full of aroma and flavor. Everyone agrees that you can not eat just one or even two! Fat Tuesday, is an excuse to eat as many Paczki as possible. Pick up a dozen or two of Paczki for your family and friends or for your office.

Lot better than chewing on walnuts and getting a piece of shell stuck in my throat!!!!!!

Food / Poland Spirytus recipes [39]

The easiest and the best for me is to dilute the spirytus 50/50 with spring water and the add some fruit juice to the mix.Easy and fast----and you change the flavour by making new batches with different types of juices.This still gives you a 40 % alcohol content for a great drink.
