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


I didn't know that! Small world....


The dish I make which is similar I've eaten all year round. I only use yellow and red peppers for it though. I don't think the dish really suits green ones.


They look nice too.

I get that. My mother was a northerner and watched it religiously for years.

I don't remember Ida Clough but Ivy Tilsley and Percy Sugden definitely yes. Where you lived was obviously popular with cast members!


Wasn't it just! I can remember seeing people wearing T-shirts with that slogan. I don't think anyone expected the storyline to become that huge!


I hadn't heard of this but after looking at the recipe link I've been eating something similar for years. Minus the courgettes! Maybe I'll add them next time.


I would definitely give those a try.

Haven't seen them yet but then I don't drink anything out of bottles......


I was staying in Alexanderplatz earlier this month. There were massive cranes everywhere!


I have to say the kebabs I had in Berlin were probably the best I've tasted.


Me too. The worrying thing to me is that the attackers are often teenagers.

I've watched Corrie on and off for years but I don't remember her stuffed marrows! I'd forgotten all her surnames too! Fair play, you've got a good memory. I remember the 'Free the Weatherfield One' campaign though.


That sounds dire :(


They take up the flavour really well as they're quite a bland vegetable.


I was talking about the word Zucchini which is from Italian Zucchina. I know courgette is French, we just call them that over here :)

Bring back the blue! Pretty please.

That's my experience too. Very hit and miss as to how it's served.


It's an Italian word but I always associate it with the American term for what we call courgettes.


Don't remember ever trying them. I do like courgettes though. Nice gently fried in garlic butter.

I saw that but the fence net was so obvious I didn't think it was worth mentioning.

Looks like what could be a couple of red flowers on the tree?

They are but I don't understand why the whole post can't be blue or green as it was before :(

Looks like yellow pepper or squash.

Is this something to be planted? Installation is a strange word to use.

Food / Traditional Polish Foods [141]

None. I would do exactly the same but when it comes to a non-Pole like me trying to guess ingredients for recipes, I am going on the fact that sultanas are not mentioned in Polish cuisine. Even if they are big raisins :)

Food / Traditional Polish Foods [141]


maf suggested raisins in post #75 earlier so I disregarded them and chose sultanas instead.


I can think of dishes with raisins but not sultanas. Usually Xmas or Easter though. Jewish carp/Babka/Kutia/Chalka

Turbot/Plaice/Flounder? Although shape is not exactly the same.

They look like sultanas to me but I can't think of a single Polish dish that uses them. I also thought of prunes but they're much bigger than what's in the dish.

That was the part I thought was so obvious that I presumed the riddle had to be something else.


On one particular day? Weird.

But the number plate isn't shown in the original pic of the van. You only gave the reg number in post #450. If I'd seen the flag sign of course I'd have known it was a Scottish plate.

That's an older model 2012 van and the MA it starts with in the reg corresponds to Manchester/Merseyside.

Yes. No idea about your barrel idiom though.

That's all? I'm surprised you can taste it in a large pot of fruit and water.

No idea. Presumably you can buy the plants but the date has no particular significance I can think of.

How can I tell? There is nothing in that plate to tell it's from Scotland.
