I love marzipan as well as coffee chocolates :)


Lidl do a marzipan log in dark chocolate. Sadly, it's usually only at Xmas and Easter.

They usually do that as a way of avoiding answering the question. Especially if they're wrong. Plus, they don't appear to have any manners.

That's what I initially thought but in the UK you have to pull down on a handle which opens up somewhere to deposit the clothes, put the bag of clothes in, then push the handle upwards to 'drop' the clothes into the bin inside. Maybe that happens in the part of the bin that's obscured in the photo.

I didn't think there were that many but I've tried quite a few. Wish I could buy just the coffee ones.

E Wedel Pawełek have a caffe latte chocolate bar but I've yet to find other coffee flavoured chocolates.

Not having heard this term before I followed your link. Wish I hadn't just eaten my breakfast though.....


Bits of clothing? In the UK we have bins that you can recycle used clothing in but this doesn't look the same.

Feedback / I love this forum - It's so Polish: tolerant, inconsistent, amusing [337]


That would be my complaint. Colour is ok but I preferred the green.

I like those merci chocolates. They have a coffee flavoured one and coffee chocolates are hard to find in the UK. Doesn't seem to be a popular flavour :(

How did you manage to post the other pics that you claimed were yours then?

I always thought Americans thought of it as being similar to Quark.

To constantly argue or fight with someone?

Food / Polish mustards [134]


That's the one. It was horrible!

Not keen on that either Milo. Just English mustard for me. I remember trying an awful tasting mustard labelled 'French' that came in a glass jar as a child and I haven't actually tried Polish mustard...yet.

Something improbable or deceitful. Fairy stories.

You're right. I just found it :(

It's easy so I don't think it will take long to solve.

Food / Polish mustards [134]


I've always found Polish horseradish sauce to be stronger. I prefer it to the English stuff which tends to be too creamy.

Mustard wise I only really like Colman's English mustard. Most other mustards, regardless of country of origin, tend to be too bland. At least the ones I've tried.

A new and probably far too easy a riddle.

This statue is part of a monument to who? Whereabouts can it be found and what does it depict, who does it overlook and who designed it?

I wear them in the house. I have a leather pair I bought in Poland for the summer and I I have sheepskin boot type slippers for winter. My feet are often freezing cold :(

I wouldn't call Warsaw and Lublin off the beaten track. Strange she thinks that Poland is in Eastern Europe too.

An Iron knife. A deterrent to thieves so as not to end up with missing ears or fingers. It's in the Sukiennice.


You meant it to encourage me to post something? Well, that's it, now post!!!

That's a lovely poem and I can definitely relate to it.


Parts of it are very wild and almost desolate. You can walk for miles without seeing anyone. There are lots of rivers and Dartmoor is rarely dry. It rains a lot too which is why it's so green. There are many bogs and mires so you definitely need a map and compass to get about. It has woods, forests, valleys, Bronze Age stone circles, over 160 granite tors dating back 280 million years, and of course, a prison!

A few more pics but not sure how they'll come out.

It's about 80 miles away but I visit quite often. It is a wonderful place with very diverse scenery.

As I said before, why would anyone be interested in a 70+ years retired grease monkey with a criminal record for domestic violence who bears an uncanny resemblance to Humpty Dumpty.


Because the post that you started talking about Britain in was in the thread entitled 'PiS candidates are losing positions in EU parliament. Will they keep power in Poland'

You expect others to stay on topic when it seems to be an impossibility for you to do the same. There are more relevant threads for talking about the UK.


Obviously an American thing. On this side of the pond it's meaningless.
