Food / Schmaltz.. is it still used in Poland [21]

SCHMALTZ; Rendered chicken fat. As a kid growing up in America during the great depression, my Mom fed us schmaltz smeared on bread when we could not afford butter.We also used bacon fat the same way. It is still used by old Jewish families here.

My Mom told me that that was a staple in Poland in the early years. I had no complaint.. On occasion I still use it on bread.

My question is. Is this practise still used in rural Poland today?

Food / Wax Bean Soup Recipes [29]

Here is the way that we still make. It is nothing more than white borscht with vegetables added. As a kid I remember my Grandmother along with other Polish Immigrants going to farms during the depression to pick beans. At the end of the day they brought beans back. This is really Peasant food.

Recipe
Two quarts of water ( Depending on how much you want to make)
Pork chops or spare ribs or fresh sausage. Salt pepper
Onion, celery potato's and fresh beans Optional Parsley Add potatoes later
Bring to a boil and then simmer for about an hour??? Add potatos about a half hour before completion.
Mix a cup of sour cream 1/2 cup of milk, and flour to thicken.
(Zapraska) Pour into soup, Stir, add vinagar to taste. Soup will be white

Food / Polish head cheese [46]

Head Cheese.... Salceson.....Zimne nogi.....Jellied pigs feet.. All the same. In America we call it Salceson in Polish. The difference from Zimne Nogi is that it is encased in a casing much like Bologna. Sold in deli counters as Head cheese.

As a kid I watched mu Mom make it. She cleaned fresh pigs feet a couple of times.. She then boiled them in pickling spices until the meat got soft.. She then pulled the meat apart discarding the bones and put the meat back into the broth. It was then placed in a bowl and refrigerated until set. The bowl was then turned upside down and OOOOLA a perfectly formed mold of Zimne Nogi

News / US to deploy Patriot missiles to Poland [405]

Current Americans have a reputation of stupid and are stupid as a result of a long and drawn out process which i believe is a deliberate one, just compare yourselves with Americans from the civil war era, the intellectual gap is epic, someone actually made an effort to turn you into a nation of morons.

We Americans were so stupid, that Poland allowed us to put in a missle defence system that might not even work to prevent a buffer zone between Russia and America in case of a ground war.

News / US to deploy Patriot missiles to Poland [405]

Yes they do but thats because they're backwater barbarians rolling in their own shit and moaning to Allah rather than some great evil terrorist organization, if we just kept out of Pakistan and Afganistan and let them rot in their own crap they'd leave us alone as well.

Some time you amaze me. Finally you came up with a great solution. Even I agree with you.
Why but why are western nations fighting in Afghanistan. Why cant their own people fight their own war instead of growing poppies We all should pull out. Immidiately

Sasha, I hope my post did not come across as overly aggressive, I apologize if you took it that way.

No need to apologize to anyone. I agree in most of what you said. The only thing that Obama has going for him is his Messiah image. For some reason people are fascinated with him.. But his polls are falling like a rock. People are seeing him for what he is. A CHALATIN

USA, Canada / Are there any Polish people in Florida? [311]

I dont know man, there's a lot of crazy bastards in Florida.

Like Franek said. Miami is bad. But most of the rest of Florida is safe.. I can go out any time after dark without getting mugged.

Is there crime in Florida?? Yes, but no where near as it is in the large cities up north.

Crazies? Yes a few.. But you tell me that there is anyplace in America free from crazies. Europe has its share too.
