Travel / Poland in photo riddles - part 2 [1680]

If that's a potato for example,

No, it`s not,. This rotten riddle is associated with the stuff I dig out from under the snow cover in another thread. :):)

Looks like your KFC chicken

Only looks so, that is why I turned it into a riddle. :):)
Sorry, no cauliflower. Actually, the stuff we obtain from the farm. :):)

USA, Canada / What kind of American food do Poles like most? [119]

tasty :)

Thanks. :):):) It was such - our family experts, kids - rated it very highly. :):) Very fussy eaters - I started cooking the dish with chicken wings but they insisted they didn`t want to nibble at any bones.

KFC is going to discontinue popcorn chicken

Impossible!! Their best dish???

I thought the presence of the knife

Oops, the presence of the knife is accidental. I cut out that rotten piece a second after taking the photo.

Hint - why did I take the photo at all? Coz the view was so unusual - completely contradicting a certain Polish saying. :):):)

Hint - it isn`t fruit.
And by negate I meant contradict. Sorry again. :):):)

News / How strongly are Poles sure that president Duda defend Poland's interests ? [265]

Pres Duda met French and German leaders.

President Andrzej Duda, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz - leaders of the countries belonging to the Weimar Triangle - spoke together during the Security Conference in Munich. - Dreams about the possibility of establishing relations with Russia have collapsed like a house of cards - said Duda. "We've all done everything we could in recent weeks and months to enable Ukraine to defend itself," Scholz assured. "We reacted quickly, we are coordinating, we are unanimous," Macron said.

Why not 200 years?

Because it is sneering. My wife`s grandma was 101 when she died. When 99, people wished her 200 years not to offend her with 100 years coz it would suggest only one more year of life. . But as she was completely incapacitated and required daily care, the 200 years also sounded like sick irony.

News / Mr President Joe Biden comes to Poland again [177]

Former President Bronisław Komorowski referred in an interview to the visit of the US leader to Poland scheduled for next week.

- First of all, it will be a signal to Moscow that we, the West, are determined to maintain support for Ukraine - as the American diplomacy says at the moment - as long as it is needed - he said. - This is the first, most important signal that will come at the time of the planned or - as some media say - already launched Russian offensive - he added.

- Secondly, it is probably an important signal for all the countries of NATO's eastern flank that are involved in supporting Ukraine, (...) that they have the right to feel safe, because America - with all its military, political and economic power - is guarding the security of this region and a Russian revenge for helping Ukraine will be prevented, continued the former president.

Get back on topic, please.

Exactly!

The military greeting to Mr President Joe Biden in Poland last year. The banner reads: Goddess - Honour - Motherland - the traditional Polish motto.

The annual Winter Swim Rally has been held in Mielno since 2004. This year about 9000 people from Poland and Europe came to show some walrusing in the Baltic Sea.

First there is a street parade.

Parsnips?

Nope, celeries. Never mind, it was a difficult question. :):)

As for parsnip and parsley, I try to grow both but usuallly score a failure in dry years. Last year was very dry during spring time so not even one parsley or parsnip appeared. The same two years ago.

I eat most of our veg raw coz contrary to my hair, I have kept all my teeth and still feel the need to crush hard food with them. :):) Like a dog with a bone. hahahaha

Mashing them is a sacrilege to me. :):)

Let me change the topic a little.
What`s the matter??
