Food / Polish Herb Search [7]


The problem sometimes is that some of the names become Americanized or the names are remembered incorrectly. The only thing I can think of is Klopsy/Klopsiki ie. meatballs.

Here is a list of commonly used herbs in Polish cooking with their English and Polish names:

In general if you want an authentic Polish feel to your dishes you can't go wrong with dill (koperek) and allspice berries (ziele angielskie).

It doesn't sound familiar. Could you describe the dishes? If we can identify the dishes we could tell you which herbs are commonly used in them.

Yes, we still love our cuppa :)) We actually drink more tea per person than Brits! We're the second biggest tea drinking nation in the world apparently while the UK comes in third.


Your plan is not likely to meet with much success. There were only five applications worldwide for asylum from Lesotho last year and only ten refugees accepted from Botswana.

There's no such thing as 'an Irish'. You can have 'the Irish' or 'an Irish person' or 'a Gael'.

Point me to the post where I said otherwise. I never even mentioned, let alone made any claims regarding the attitudes of Polish people to the subject of illegal immigration. Do please note the emphasis on illegal.


Dear Lord, what an illiterate sentence...... my experience of Poland is based on the years I've lived here. But once again, let me remind you, I never made any comment on Polish people's attitudes.


Well you can rest easy knowing that raped women are not protected in Poland. A fourteen year old girl is raped and her rapist has his conviction overturned because she didn't scream.


Yes indeed. If she screams her rapist might be convicted and the Polish courts wouldn't want that of course.

You'll also be very relieved to know about another 14 year old Polish girl, mentally handicapped, raped by her uncle who was refused an abortion.

Perhaps you should send your granddaughter to live in Poland which is such a great, safe environment for young girls.

It appears to be the same man. He was a member of the Polish Musicians Alliance of America

They didn't. There are very few people from the African continent in Sweden. That's probably why the Swedes didn't consider the crime stats for Botswana. Your stats demonstrate that the 'rapiest' (to coin you own term) place in the world is not Europe but the African continent - and do bear in mind that many rapes in African countries are not reported so in fact those stats from places like Botswana are only a fraction of the true figure.

Genealogy / Bibliography about Witold Adeszko [3]

I took a look at the first link. It's a bit confusing! But anyway when I click on the Polish flag I see details for a Witold Adeszko who wrote a piece of music called 'Kocie Oczy' (Cat's Eyes) which seems to have been a Polka dance. It was published in Chicago in 1920 and the gravestone shows dates of 1890-1956 with Chicago as place of death so it seems that it may be the same person. If he was a local musician you may find references to him if you try searching newspaper archives for Chicago in that period when he was active. You might even find his death notice. That would help you to confirm if they're the same man.

I did a quick Google search in Polish and found these. Don't know anything about them but they might be worth a try. They are all not-for-profit organisations so provide free services. Use Google translate if you can't understand their websites. Best of luck!

The fact that it's being said in English should give you a clue. The article is aimed at the English speaking world, not at the people of Sweden.

Life / Racism in Poland - the future [441]


You mean 'couched in the most'. I'm not being nasty. I genuinely wanted to give you the correct phrase. Endeavouring to write well in English should be rewarded :)


There was a section on terror attacks.

The simple fact of the matter is that gang warfare which accounts for most gun crime in Sweden exists everywhere - even in lovely, peaceful little Ireland which has a far lower crime rate than Poland yet has one of the highest gun crime rates in the EU as a result of organised crime, and all of it carried out by locals, as white as a frozen chicken.

Have white women in Sweden been raped? Yes. Have some been raped by immigrants? Yes. But most of the rapes in Sweden take place within the immigrant community itself and are overwhelmingly perpetrated by teenage boys against teenage girls. There is no epidemic of immigrant men rampaging through the streets assaulting white Swedish women.

Anyway, all the correct facts and figures are out there for anybody who wants to know the truth. For those who don't, there are plenty of dodgy publications, rubbish click-bait YouTube channels and fake news sites. Enjoy.

It's pretty vulgar actually - it's ok among friends though :)


Oh we do use it. We'll often refer to a person as a bollocks if we don't like them. 'Yer man's a right bollocks.' We'll also say it when we mess something up or do something badly. A typical utterance would be 'Ah Jaysu! I'm after makin' a right bollocks of it'.

Why do you think that? What a Silly Billy you are.


You really are an ignorant lump aren't you? People from South East Asia, which the OP is referring to, are the among the most highly educated immigrants in Poland on work or study visas. They don't rock up at the Belarusian border.

Well, I suppose at least it's a newspaper of sorts (is that a fish supper hidden in its depths?) instead of his usual weird dark web rubbish.

Ok - so now the rape stats in Sweden, where according to you women are being assaulted left right and centre by immigrants are FAKE? That's your argument? Anyway you'll obviously advise your granddaughter not to go to the police if a guy ever forces himself on her no matter how much fun reporting is.

Life / Racism in Poland - the future [441]


Yes, actually thinking before you speak would be a good idea.

You do realise that many women in Poland don't report rape to the police? Especially younger women and teenage girls.

"A court overturned a rape conviction because the 14-year-old victim did not scream during the incident. Critics say the case is illustrative of wider failings in how rape is defined and dealt with in Poland's justice system."

If you bothered your arse to check on the Polish governments own published stats, back in 2013 there were apparently no rapes of girls aged under 16 - not one single rape. Do you believe that's the true figure? But in 2021 there were 306 rapes of girls under 16. Now it's time to do some of your promised thinking. Rape and domestic violence are starting to be taken more seriously in Poland and a culture is growing where women feel they can go and report what's happened to them.

You live in cloud cuckoo land. You really do. You think you have the measure of what's going on in the world whereas in fact you haven't a clue of the realities.

Because their definition of rape includes any form of sex without consent including in a relationship plus any form of sexual assault like being groped on the subway. That's rape in Sweden.

Eurostat figures show that Sweden had 64 reported rapes per 100,000 residents in 2016, compared to 10 in Germany. When Sweden's figures were recalculated using the German definitions, the new figure was 15 reported rapes per 100,000 residents.


Perhaps I should have explained the term 'skanger'. It's a Dublin word for low life scum types, the types who recently put an American tourist into a coma literally seconds after he walked out of his accommodation. So it doesn't matter what colour they are. If I see three threatening looking guys on the street at midnight I have exactly the same reaction.

I don't have a Polish mother. I'm Irish. And we learned not to invite people in when we asked the Normans for hand in battle and ended up being invaded! But I wouldn't find Polish history with the Mongols to be any excuse for selfishness and lack of empathy.

Not for Poland there isn't.


I am a Catholic and had fourteen years of convent school education. We were taught to put others first. Not that that's always best practice in real life but the corporal and spiritual works of mercy and the Beatitudes form a strong part of Catholic teaching that are supposed to be part of your daily life.

My reaction to three skangers of any colour or race is the same. Btw I lived in London and frequently encountered black youths in the street - at night!! Wow! I wasn't mugged or assaulted by them.

I notice that you choose to ignore the facts regarding the crime rate in Sweden which has dropped in the last thirty years and is still about six times lower than the USA.
