Off-Topic / I am a polish communist. [83]

, the only one I know

And I just pointed out that numerous forum members have used that exact same phrase so are you going to accuse them of being 'commie' too? Your powers of deduction are crap

we both know that when the Mods post they don't always have Moderator written by their names if it is a personal post,

Stop talking more sh!te! Yes, they do if they're making a personal post. If you see red writing on someone's post that could be a mod or admin. The only stupid person here is you.

You're not a mod and have no idea of anyone's IP address.

Off-Topic / I am a polish communist. [83]

You are the only one I know to have ever used that term in the last ten years

A quick forum search shows that it has been used by Milo, Jon, Atch, Dolno, Wroclaw Boy, Dolno and many others, primarily from the UK. You really do talk out of your arse.

What makes you think that I am not a Mod.

The fact that moderator isn't written next to your name.

Travel / About cars, electric and combustion in Poland. [162]

Not me. I've got two left feet.

Here is the best-looking car ever...Nothing comes even close..

It doesn't look anything special to me.

As far as American cars go I would pick either the Shelby Cobra 427 or Chevrolet Corvette C2.

British, I would pick Austin Healey 3000 Mark III or 6os/70s Lotus Elan DHC.

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

Tony Blair actually mentioned it from the dispatch box.

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

it really is only a summer thing when peppers are in season, however it's delicious.

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.

zucchini 'meatballs':

They look nice too.

in the urban parts of the north it used to be almost a religion

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!

That was a sensation.

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 love them in a version of leczo

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.

zucchini patties

I would definitely give those a try.

History / 20 years of Poland in the EU. [317]

Tethered caps

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

but now there's a huge building site.

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

great kebabs

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

I hear about a knife crime happening very often.

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

Deirdre Hunt/Langton/Barlow/Rashid/Barlow's stuffed marrows on Corrie were famously bad

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 and pumpkins plus all sorts of squash. Every day for four years.

That sounds dire :(

Fried with garlic sound great, though

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

Courgettes is French

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

Calamari? Like eating rubber bands.

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

stuffed zuchhinis

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

marrows.

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