Life / Who are the Polish singers (Classical or Folk songs) [11]

Here performing the famous song Silence

And now his most famous song: Autumn Roses. You can guess it is a bit sad and nostalgic...... :):)

PS. The joke from 20th century was that Polish archeologists dug out a mummy in Egypt which woke up and asked: Does Fogg still sing??? hahahaha



Autumn roses, sad tea roses.
Autumn roses are like your beloved lips.
The purple trees are the last to give us shelter
. And hearts beat like a bell, in one tone.

Autumn roses whisper quietly about separation.
Autumn roses tell us about goodbye.
And in a cloud of leaves we walk through the wilderness of the park.
Autumn roses are already withering.

It was May so recently, we were so happy,
smiling and tender, who will revive these days again?
Give me a cool hand, look me in the eye and tell me
Do you love me, I know, it's an illusion and a dream

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

:)

:):):) It looks amasing, in fact!!!

How do I cook it? I buy chicken carcass - so called broth piece and smoke it for 3 hours in our smokehouse. Then when I have it on the plate, I do what I like best - dig, scratch and scrape tiny pieces of meat off the carcass. The rump is the most delicious. HA!

Life / Who are the Polish singers (Classical or Folk songs) [11]

Old or recent does not matter.

OK.

The first singer who appeared on Polish TV before the war was Mieczysław Fogg. He continued singing after the war too and did it for a few decades with unwavering popularity.

An amazing person coz he took part in Polish wars of the time as a soldier or artist.

Here performing the famous song Silence (the one with trumpet motif, you know):

I am not fond of sauerkraut/cabbage with mushrooms on Christmas Eve. I eat those ushka with cabbage/mushroom stuffing for tradition, not taste.
However, drinking sauerkraut juice with your carp is both healthy and tasty! Voilla!

Life / Do you know any specific Christmas traditions to be found only in Poland? [15]

Polish tradition is gifts are given on Christmass Eve, not the next day.

Another tradition which exists in our family is we like presents which we have already been given before. That is why my kids, after 3 years, again gave me a kit of hot sauces (fortunately without that nasty Scorpion sauce which I still haven`t finished) and a craft beer.

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]

It is a Soviet soldier

This reminds me other moments of Polish history.

German soldiers taking photos in the Main Square in occupied Krakow in 1940. In the background- famous St Mary`s Cathedral.

Photo 2 - German troops march into the Wawel Castle

PS. Nazis believed Krakow was a German city coz there used to be a lot German settlers in the Middle Ages.

No, it doesn`t happen in real life, only in fairy tales.
In real life, you dig out a chest with pirates` treasure. Simple. Tom Sawyer could tell you how to do it.

Life / What do Poles really think about cats? [470]

why Poles love cats so much

This thesis is a bit far fetched coz Poles love dogs and cats like all other nations. In the same proportions I suppose - dogs more than cats. All of my family, friends and acquintances cherish positive feelings about dogs but some don`t like cats.

by adopting a nonchalant attitude-much like a cat's indifference to human concerns.

That`s what attracts me in cats - that permeating atmosphere of personal independence and freedom. A dog will always love its owner no matter how they treat the pet. While you have to strive to deserve the cat`s love.

"If we can survive all that, so can a cat."

Amasing opinions does that AI have. I would never think of that. :):):)

All in all, thanks for an interesting input.

A perfectly sensible opinion.

No, coz imagine that you touch sb by accident and they shoot you in your stupid head for that. Do such crazy standards prevail in GB??? Where are you from, mongrel? Amazon jungle or Russian Siberia??

DFY and your stalinist grandpas for expressing those sick opinions.

Food / Polish Christmas Eve Dinner recipes [84]

You sell it for twice the price you bought it for

No! That is the copy of a recipe for how to become an Am millionaire. That`s what I heard as a boy in communist times:

You buy one orange and sell it for a higher price.
Next, you buy two oranges and sell them for a higher price.
etc etc.

Is it surprising that oranges have always been one on my fave exotic fruit???

Tomorrow I am going to cook my fave carp ala Jewish in sweet sauce with almonds and raisins. There is only one problem - we bought fillets and steaks but I forgot to buy heads which are excellent for that recipe.

PS. Shyt - I just remembered I also forgot to buy almonds. I will use kidney nuts instead.
