Travel / Poland in photo riddles - part 3 [818]

As for that Dubai style filling

Kadayif is nicer on its own, drizzled with honey or palm syrup.

It's fun seeing it made, being pressed into little molds.

Dubai chocolate

Looks a lot like it. Some have the pastry in, some have pistachio cream.

A nicer one I've found (in the mena region, never in Europe) is a Turkish one (by Damak, a popular brand) that is dark chocolate with tiny bits of the pistachio pastry in and tiny bits of Turkish delight in.

sandwich (dark bread

It doesn't look appealing but each to their own.

I saw a giant rat last night (the fuller-figured fluffy kind not the scrawny long ones) while lost in a dark hotel car park in Manchester last night. He looked a bit hungry and came up to me but sadly ran away when I said "here kitty kitty kitty".

He (or she) would definitely have eaten that.

Language / Game - guess Polish idioms/sayings in direct English translation - part 2 [730]

noodles with white cheese

Pasta with soft cheese?

An odd and strangely unpleasant combination, perhaps suitable for a hospital patient with severe gastric problems.

Pop some chilli flakes and capers in and it might be ok.

My local restaurant in Warsaw (now closed) used to do pasta with a mix of processed factory cheese (the 'topiony' stuff that's you see in Poland and in Africa that doesn't go off or really need refrigerating) and jalapeños.

News / Famous Poles die - your memories [112]

The star of kabaret Hrabi and earlier Potem has died of cancer at 59

Very sad news. They weee quite good as a cabaret group. All of the people in the better known Polish satirical cabarets are of an age now. She must have been among the youngest.

Was he historian or not is debatable

It isn't. He was a historian.

Szklary is a bit off the beaten track

Szklarska Poręba has a traditional semi-precious stone industry. A nice place to visit too.

What is this?:

Bigos that's been reheated for too long in a hot oven?

Seriously, some sort of resin?

News / France and Germany plan to flood Poland with illegal migrants. [199]

mainly because they had forgotten their documents, while on critical days, several-kilometer traffic jams were created on highways, which cost the Polish economy hundreds of millions of euros

A pointless exercise.

Germany really does need penalising for starting this charade. Poland are getting it wrong too.

Europe does need inward migration, and the new Germans are just as good as the old ones.

the erosion of this ....,,country.

Education?

Great that he has set the record straight and now will let Ghislaine out of the slammer

He's caught in a bind really. Being pushed into a check mate. Can't move one way, can't move the other.

Congress won't let this go, and if he keeps trying to stall, it'll snowball until the midterms.

what woke meant.

It means nothing.

Jon your opinion on stats have no credit on here

Really? Opinion is irrelevant since the stats are fficial and unbiased.

Short answer no, they are criminals for coming to the UK illegally,

Most of them aren't illegal (that guff about safe countries has no legal force) however they have disrespected our visa and entry requirements and should never be allowed to settle.

Anyway, most are from middle class backgrounds and are conservative religious people so they can fùck off home.

those judged in Nuremberg were victims of revenge, as they hadn't broken any laws.

They all had. A small number were acquitted however the evidence against the Nazi War Criminals was indisputable.
