There's a good Polish forum about World War II - maybe try asking there for any help with your search:

It looks like this is the right section of the forum:

From an older thread:

to direct me to go through the Sikorski Museum in Great Britain.

Have you tried this route?

No, sorry, this medal isn't a communist one. On the contrary... It was awarded by the Polish government-in-exile in London:

@gjene, we're probably won't be able to help you here. The only thing that comes to my mind is maybe finding families of soldiers who were in your grandfather's unit - maybe they would know more.

There's a good Polish forum about World War II - maybe try asking there for any help with your search:

dws.org.pl/

but it was a communist medal, established in PRL (People's Republic of Poland)

He got it in 1948, so it looks like it was the commie one. But why does it say "London"?

@WarSore, that sounds exactly like you and Novichok lol Why do you behave like those Poles then?

Rent-free in their heads, I swear to f*cking god.

Again, sounds like your head now... Go outside and touch some grass. There's no point in obsessing so much over comments on the internet.

It's none of your business whatsoever why I live in Poland - you can ask the same question to all the many, many, many Poles living in my country

Poles usually have no problem with saying why they left Poland for the UK. My best friend (Polish woman) currently lives and works in the UK with her fiancé (Polish guy). So why so mysterious? 🤔

I am getting really tired of you in general.

Why, because I'm pointing out that you're exaggerating and being unfair? How inconvenient :)))

you are just sensitive to criticism

OMG, I remember how Brits were telling Poles on this forum that we're being "oversensitive" to criticism :D Poetic justice, heh...

This is getting tiring and boring. I've told you what I've seen.

I've also told you what I've seen. You think what you keep writing isn't "tiring and boring"?

I see this sh*t all the time and it's one of the reasons I've decided to limit my contact with these online platforms

I was taking breaks from this forum too for the same reason. I see you're all new to this lol

It just makes it harder to live here

Why on Earth do you live in Poland at all?

but I've told it to you straight and sincerely.

Not entirely sincerely though judging by my look at the comments under that video about British food.

Only women yell, scream, swear, spit, and kick the partition in the squad car - for 20 minutes, non-stop -

You see - you keep writing "only" despite the fact that I've proven you wrong many times already - I even posted videos as proof. You're sick in the head.

Clearly you've been hanging around an obscure little forum FAR too long xD

Just like you've been watching obscure videos on YouTube for too long? :)))

This is the video you should really be looking at: youtu.be/a1Im8ISpCwY?si=eIZUlKKIVT_Txs6N

What can I say - hell hath no fury like a man scorned lol

Please show me some similar stuff from this place btw, as you seem to think it's so valid.

The comments were written by real men, so how that would be "not valid"? I'm not going to look for those comments now - it's been some years ago, when Polish women were still a novelty for British men and there were more people on this forum.

Maybe you can pull out as many quotes as you can see awful comments on this one video.

Excuse me, sir, but there's a section of Polish men that also sh1t on Polish women in random places like news articles and such. There's also a section of British men (and Western men in general, actually) who sh1t on their own women. MAGA men from the US on this forum are a great example of that. So I have no idea why you think it's characteristic for Polish men only or that they sh1t only on British women.

I didn't watch the video, but I've looked through the comments and, "surprise, surprise", you're exaggerating again. Comments under that video vary - there are negative ones, but there are also positive and neutral ones.

or that Poles just can't stop being c*nts in the internet. ;)))))

No, there are simply a lot of c*nts on the internet from different nationalities. Were you born yesterday? lol

Btw, you're a c*nt yourself, so again - pot kettle etc.

A tiny fraction of the ones I've seen from smelly, misogynistic Polish men

You don't seem to realise how long I've been on this forum, a$$hole. My experience is no less valid than yours.

"Poetic justice"

...is what you're getting now, clearly :)))

@Novichok, you said "only" plenty of times, liar.

you're an American living in Russia and you have to see this s*t all the time, and in the comments even of unrelated posts on YouTube, Instagram, etc.

It looks like you're too fragile for using internet ;D

Your internal forum politics and long-standing feuds are making you paranoid.

Well, we've had enough sock puppets here to get paranoid indeed.

Re. proof, I've showed you videos and comments.

A few videos from what I've noticed. How is that a proof for your bold claim?

not just on this forum which, like I said, is kind of a very specific little niche.

This forum is perfectly enough. This is where Brits living in Poland would come for years to complain about Poland and Poles and display their sense of superiority.

Check out some of the screenshots of comments in this thread, too:

Do you know how mamy comments from British men about Polish women I had to read for years on this forum?

One could even say that what goes around comes around... Heh... Poetic justice, I guess.

Life / Poland is horrible and I have to live here - somebody call a whambulance! [95]

Must of hit a nerve, but sorry, I don't buy the resting face line.

That's your problem then. It didn't hit a nerve, I simply stated a fact. Do some cultural research, read a bit about it, travel more.

Hence why Poles leave Poland. Taxed to death.

No, Poles don't leave because of taxes lol

The most upsetting comment of mine for you was the recycling?

No, it's just gave me some idea about your political views, I think :)

but in Warsaw people in public are mostly rude.

And in New York they're polite in comparison to some small town in the US? :)

We also got something that looked similar to pierogi with anko filling

I think I found it! It's Nama Yatsuhashi - Kyoto's most famous dessert apparently. It looked exactly like the ones in the photo here:

easytraveljapan.com/shopping-category/products/nama-yatsuhashi-kyoto

You just very accurately summed up how I feel about Poles after seeing thousands of them (...) all the time, all over the internet

Firstly, Poles don't do that all the time and all over the internet. Just stop watching those particular videos. Why are you obsessing over this so much?

And why are you even in Poland? o_O

I asked Paulina this too.

Eh? I don't seek out such videos. But as I wrote already - we've had enough of Brits and other Westerners sh1t-talking about Poland, Poles and anything Polish on this forum for years. To the point that I lost most of my curiosity about what foreigners think about Poland, Poles, etc. and I wanted this forum to die a natural death. But at one point I've concluded for myself that they can all go f*ck themselves :)))

So, the "bigmouths of the internet" evaluation definitely still stands.

No, it doesn't - you provided no proof for this. You remind me of Novichok and his stupid lies that only women behave badly when getting arrested by the police - and he's basing his "observations" (lies) also on "over a hundred videos" he watched on YouTube lol

Medovik (honey cake).

Could you link to a recipe?

My mother has baked this one and it's very good :d:

Napoleon (kilogram of cream squished between wafers).

Is this it?:

Bird's Milk (soufflé cake made from mysterious substance called bird's milk).

lol
You mean this?:

Btw, didn't you eat the traditional "pascha" for Easter?

We also got to eat a tall cylindrical cake called a kulich, which was so dry it absorbed atmospheric moisture.

lol
It's babka wielkanocna in Poland.

Didn't you have any other cakes though? Our mother, aunts and grandmas would bake all kinds of yummy cakes for Christmas and Easter.

If you're talking about nationalistic Poles in particular then of course they wouldn't - nationalists in any country usually aren't exactly the most objective and non-hypocritical people ever to exist lol :))) 🤦

You can sat

*say

Hahaha!

I spat out my coffee!

I can repeat that for your amusement :)))

I'm serious though. My mother's Japanese colleague from work brought us some traditional Japanese sweets straight from Japan. As you can imagine - I was excited :) So, it was yokan in a traditional, tasteful packaging with every piece of yokan wrapped separately in elegant piece of paper. It looked expensive. When I heard we are getting Japanese sweets I was expecting something like that WarSore's chocolate egg - European type of sweets. But it was nothing like it and it was awful. We also got something that looked similar to pierogi with anko filling - and, again, for me it was awful. I wouldn't call it "sweets" at all. The only thing I liked was a sort of crab cookie/cracker - sweet on one side and salty on another.

But I'm guessing lots of Japanese like this yokan, etc. stuff or it would die out *shrugs*

Lol, here on this old, obscure forum.

It was the biggest forum about Poland in the past and had many more active members than now :)

, and they're most certainly the worst of it

And what is your proof for that? :)

and those nationalistic folks would never accept it from any immigrants in their country

And you're wrong again :) There are all kinds of Poles living in Poland and abroad, not only nationalistic ones :))) Poles are often very critical about Poland.

Poles are the bigmouths of the internet - because they know that if they went on that way in real life in a country they've flooded, they'd get a slap.

You can sat the same thing about the British - including yourself :)))

and others seem to find great glee in gathering en masse on social media channels to insult other cultures' food

Sorry, but that's in no way exclusive to Poles. The British living in Poland have been doing it for years on this forum and not only about Polish food, but also everything and anything Polish. So, cry me a river, snowflake...

Also, of course, not all Brits are like this and not all Poles are like this either. So calm down lol

I'll remember that line the next time I encounter Poles gleefully sh*t-talking British food online

Fine by me :)

haggis

I'd like to try that since it's a traditional dish and I actually heard of it :)

the sad boiled potatoes with dill / lumpy mash

I actually quite like young boiled potatoes with dill and sour cream. I associate them with spring or early summer. My mother would pull our ear lobes every year when we would try first młode ziemniaczki :)

I don't like the mush potatoes-like thing though (unless it's with a gravy). So boring and dry ;P

I'll take the latter over the former in a heartbeat.

Well, I've eaten roast meats and roast potatoes and I would choose Polish kotlet schabowy in a heartbeat. I love that thing when done well, sorry :)))
Paulina   
28 Jun 2025
UK, Ireland / Polish YouTuber weirdos trash-talking the UK [200]

It is quite a revelation.

No, it isn't. I mean, it's nothing new or unheard of. Although people usually wouldn't bother to make just such roast potatoes as the main dish or something, I guess.

If we would bother to bake potatoes then it would be more likely to be zapiekanka ziemniaczana (potato casserole). My family have two versions - with eggs and without eggs. The one without eggs done by my father is to die for - very tasty and aromatic *drools again* 🤤

Yorkshire pudding too. Always goes down very well, especially if it's done properly.

I'm sure some Polish foods would go down well among Brits too if done properly :) I've never tasted any British food, but I'm not some kind of "food chauvinist" and I'm sure you have some good stuff too. I'm generally curious about different cuisines.

No wonder no one smiles here.

You sound like you're new to Poland :) We're not sad, it's just natural "resting face" for Poles. And that's apparently typical not only for Eastern Europe, but also for Central Europe:

spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/redundant-advice-don-t-smile-too-much-german-shop-assistants-warned-a-553186.html

And Scandinavian countries too, apparently. 🤔

, but is acting like Nazi

Like what? ;D

It's interesting how different people even from the same country (like the US) can have so different opinions about Poland and Poles :)

Oh yeah, the enforced recycling here. That's insane. It benefits no one except for the globalist elite and their toadies. The Green Nazis.

Please go back to your country as soon as possible:)))

@jon357, for me both British and American sites are "foreign" ;D

Either way I've eaten both "baked potatoes" and "roast potatoes" - it's not some kind of "revelation" to Poles :)

@jon357, I've googled to find out what's the difference in English between those two and apparently "baked potatos" are when you bake them whole and "roast potatos" are when you cut them in pieces and bake them. In Polish both would be "pieczone ziemniaki".

I've never heard of your "Ash-roasted potatoes, cooked in the ashes of a campfire or charcoal grill"

They aren't "mine" - I literally gave you a link in English *shrugs*

Too much hassle to make the "ashes of a campfire or charcoal grill" on a wet Tuesday teatime.

Well, they don't taste exactly the same if you bake them in the oven and you do it in the summer during holiday with your whole family in the countryside :))) The main attraction though was always homemade Polish sausage with mustard of course *drools* 🤤
