Life / Paintings of artists from Poland? [192]

Paweł Kuczyński,

I haven't heard of this artist before but I really like his work. I especially like 'The Moon' picture.

I am familiar with Natalia Rak. She is an amazing artist and I love her murals. I especially like 'The Legend of the Giants' mural. Maybe I'll get to Białystok to see it one day.

I have a huge folder/file of street art. Whenever I travel somewhere, I try and check out the street art scene. Kaunas, Kyiv and Malaga have some great murals.

I'm honestly in awe of artists who make murals on entire walls of a few storey buildings

Me too. I wish I was that talented. I would rather look at a beautiful mural than an ugly building :)

Life / Any "wet" plans for Śmigus-dyngus? [51]

it is activists who splash monuments.

Well at least it's harmless. Our activists over here would be trying to destroy them.

I managed to avoid the buckets of water this year.

Travel / Poland in photo riddles - part 3 [675]

In my experience non-Polish people might be put off by the look

I've always liked bigos, really tasty dish. I wouldn't have got that from Pawian's pic though. It looked to me like he was making coleslaw from scratch!

Life / Polish film and serial riddles [137]

There is another film, a drama, in which Himilsbach appears with a dog: We have to kill that love from 1974.

At least I got the actor right. Can't believe he was in 2 different films with a dog!

What is the relationship between the man and the boy?

Father and son?

What is going to happen to the man and his dog??

They have to leave the building? The neighbours from hell eventually win the conflict as they want the dog and its owners out. Jan Himilsbach plays the old porter in the film ' Pies'.

She caught you red handed again with this copy and paste of yours

I didn't think it would warrant this kind of meltdown though!

I will post what I want, when I want, how I want

That's fine and I can do the same thing highlighting more of your copying and pasting. It's not honest to mislead people.

Food / Polish Pizza !! The best in the world? [330]

What about the South West?

I don't really think we have anything that traditional here other than Cheddar cheese, Thatchers Cider and Cornish pasties. No particular dishes I can think of.

I haven't been to the north of England ( other than to climb Snowdon ) since I was a kid. My mother was from the north west and we used to visit my grandmother who still lived there. She always used to make Parkin, which I haven't had since. I don't know if it's a northern thing but she used to give us glasses of sterilised milk, which I loved. I always remember wondering why the milk at home didn't taste the same. I've only had it a couple of times since.

Parmo,

That definitely sounds like something I would try.

I have been wanting to visit Yorkshire for some time now. I think I would love the Dales and moors. I quite like remote areas that others might find bleak. Everyone seems to go for Whitby and York but I think they might be a bit touristy. It would also give me the chance to try out the Barnsley chop! The Peak District also appeals.

Open air markets with fresh produce grown locally are much more popular in Poland

We have them here though. I buy my eggs from a local farmer and not far away from me you can buy locally produced cheese, fruit and veg. In my town we have a farmer's market and the local villages near here have them too.

Food / Polish Pizza !! The best in the world? [330]

I got some Henderson's Relish a while back.

I've never heard of it before. Fish free Worcester Sauce.

Deedahs (Sheffield people) around the world take it with them or buy it online.

I feel a bit like that about Worcester Sauce. I've always got it in the cupboard. Bit of an addiction. Why are Sheffield people called Deedahs?

nobody outside Cornwall (where it was pretty well forgotten too) had even heard of it until about a decade

I knew what it was but I can't say it looks appealing.

Mushroom ketchup is nice.

I've not tried that either but I've seen it in supermarkets:

tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/251225471

Dock and Herb Puddings sound interesting. I bet there's lots of Northern dishes I don't know about.

I copied some of it

All of it from what I read. So it isn't your method. Just be honest. Let's face it the only time you're not copying and pasting is when you're being abusive.

If you did, you would have shared your experiences long ago.

Asparagus wars!!! :):)

dickhead.

How very Christian of you! On Easter Sunday too.

used to serve pancakes with decorative swirls of it on.

Ugh! There are so many better things you could serve with pancakes.

I quite like HP

I've tried it but never bought it. Not a fan. The only sauces I currently have at home are soy and Worcester sauce.

mouthwatering

Never tried them. I doubt most people have. I'm willing to bet that most people from other countries no little about British cuisine. Time and again if people comment it's only to talk about our fish and chips, like it's the only dish we ever eat. That or an English breakfast.

What is this veg which requires hilling for better growth?

Parsnips? Although they're not overly popular in Poland.

Give my method a try

Something else?

In addition, white linen to go in the basket, greenery, bread/babka. Friends of mine usually put a sugar lamb in there that their kids have made. I think horseradish is also included.

Life / Neoliberalism and family formation in Poland [100]

Funny how the Tate brothers have had charges dropped isnt it?

They haven't been dropped:

"Tate and his brother Tristan are currently awaiting trial in Romania after being charged with human trafficking, rape and forming an organised crime group to sexually exploit women on June 20, 2023, along with two Romanian women. A trial date is yet to be set."

His message that is changing young men from objectifying women to respecting them must be terrible.

His message is the very opposite of that statement.

You dont like Tate because why?

This interview with him says it all for me. Guess you are one of his admirers as you are actually repeating almost verbatim some of the the stuff he comes out with. If you can't see what is wrong with this guy then there is a problem.

I think the problem lies almost exclusively with some men

Sadly, quite a few men on this forum.

women were either like this or this with nothing in between and no other options.

That's about the size of it! Prisoner Cell Block H!! Love it

Such a woman reminds a (straight) man of other men which is a turn off.

I can't see why. Being assertive and standing up for oneself doesn't mean being aggressive. Sometimes the two get confused. Rather that than be a doormat.

Language / Dupa - what a beautiful Polish word [103]

grown ass means you have become very big-headed after gaining self confidence and the feeling of importance which you lacked before.

OK, I get that from the mechanic situation. I was getting confused with trying to link Ivan Denisovich with prehistoric cavemen. Lol. Fed up with asses now!

I sort of know what you're trying to get at but I can't put it into words. The guy has all the knowledge and Mark has now outlived his usefulness I'm finding the clues too confusing.

you have some narrow minded views,

Tunnel vision in my opinion. I'm getting fed up with hearing from many of the men on here how if women don't have those traditional views they must be career hungry leftists who will end up alone full of regrets. One extreme to the other. If women want to be stay at home mothers and are in the position to do so, that's fine, but many women want a little more out of life and why shouldn't they have careers too. Men just don't like the fact that the status quo has shifted.

The one about an enlarged ass is still pending...

Probably still not right but someone has become tougher, harder, stronger?
