History / Life in communist Poland - personal relations [503]

Yes, the worst quality poultry meat, scratched from bones. :):):)

Yes, still very pale like white sausage.

The recipe is probably the same but ingredients probably changed over the years so I have an impression it isn`t the same flavour as in the past. But I have no choice.

Not very appetising to look at , indeed, but it only enhances the taste of them.

Life / Poles speaking English - examples [263]

speaking in a loud, deliberate manner.

Are you talking about the General? Well, that is his personal mannerism as a military guy. Simple.

As for omitting articles, he made this mistake a few times, indeed. :):):)

Life / What should I get for a gift for somebody who's never visited Poland? [59]

Kasztanki??

Błeee. Strange flavour. If there are no other sweets, I can eat one or two but they are the last position on the preference list. :):):)

Coming back on topic:

How about a mug with Prime Minister Morawiecki showing a precious chunk of coal???:

In winter time I will keep you in my warm memory

Life / Why women's rights are not respected here in Poland? [160]

Find it disturbing that it is acceptable /ok for boys to hit girls,

It is not acceptable to hit anybody, not only girls. Polish schools and teachers work on students all the time to eradicate aggressive behaviours. If some parents condone hitting, they are probably pathological. Such people exist in every country.

History / Life in communist Poland - personal relations [503]

I loved hot dogs in communist times coz they were so delicious. A special kind of sausage called leszczyńskie parówki/kiełbaski, was used. The buns were warmed on this hot dog machine with metal heating spikes, you know what I mean. As a child I considered it a very clever machinery.

Unfortunately, those hot dogs were sold mostly by private enterprises so I had to be careful. My pocket money was 5 zlotys a week and a hot dog in a cafe next to my primary school cost exactly 5 zlotys. I could have one hot dog a week. What about other needs?? I hated communism.......

Today I can stuff myself with them without any constraints coz sausages are still produced for nostalgic consumers. Amasing!

My hot dogs are even better - crispy on both sides!

Law / Buying from Allegro.pl with Money Protection? [10]

But I assume, they do not have any interest in foreign buyers.

They do and buying from abroad is fully possible. However, a buyer needs to pay in advance with a card or bank transfer. While you want to choose Allegro Pay credit option and are surprised they expect you to provide a phone number. Tell me now, what are they going to do if you are a fraud who uses their loan and later vanishes into the thin air??? Look for their money in a foreign country, e.g,, Belarus??? How???

Try to be realistic. :):):)

News / R. Trzaskowski, current mayor of Warsaw, future President of Poland [354]

The organizers of the European Best Destination plebiscite for the most attractive tourist destination in Europe announced today the results of a three-week competition in which 21 cities participated. The winner of this year's edition of the competition is Warsaw.

- A city so modern, dynamically developing, with an extraordinary history. The capital of greenery, comfort and free time. A city of contrasts where everyone will find balance. A city where a few kilometers from the modern, lively new center of Warsaw and right next to the historic old town, the Vistula, a truly wild river, meanders among the greenery. Such things only in Warsaw! The title of European Best Destination 2023 is not only about prestige. Winners from previous years recorded a dozen or so percent increase in the number of tourists - emphasizes the Mayor, Mr Trzaskowski

The title of European Best Destination 2023 is not only a distinction, but also measurable benefits. The experience of previous winning cities such as Wrocław, Porto or Ljubljana shows that each titled city is gaining in popularity. The world's largest industry media write about it, and tourists from all over the world are starting to plan their stays there. Winners from previous years recorded a 12-percent increase in tourist traffic. In the case of Zagreb, which won the Best Christmas Market category for three years in a row, the increase was as much as 41 percent.

Amazing performance by the Chief of General Headquarters, meaning the highest ranking officer in the Polish army right now, the boss of all bosses, Gen Andrzejczak

The General is explaining why aiding Ukraine is vital for Poland - there is no free Poland without a free Ukraine.
Very good English though not perfecf.

History / Poland and Britain started WW2 [356]

MPO. Yes, I understand that you want to diminish the West. :):) Sorry, it won`t bring any good effect here. This is a Polish forum and Poles love the West except traitors or utter mentals who are vast minority.

You are wasting time. :):):)

History / Identify WWII Polish Army Uniform & Battalion [5]

It seems significant that there are a mix maybe signifying an underground group.

Quite possible.
However, it is also possible they are a Pollsh partisan unit fighting in Yugoslavia.Some of these guys remind me of Yugoslavians with their dark complexion and hair.

Food / What is your favorite Polish Vodka? [653]

In North America, particularly the large Polish communities of Chicago,

Johhny, when you copy and paste directly from the Internet, put your quote in italics and provide the source. That would be more honest.

Like this:

In North America, particularly the large Polish communities of Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, and other large cities across the Midwest and Northeast, Paczki Day is celebrated annually by immigrants and locals alike. The date of this observance merges with that of pre-Lenten traditions of other immigrants on Fat Tuesday.

With its sizable Polish population, Chicago celebrates the festival on both Fat Thursday and Fat Tuesday.

I have to provide a polish phone number.

To register it is enough to provide an email. That`s what I see in FAQs.
But
You need to provide your phone number later on while arranging the settings of your account.

This is how it looks like during registration.

Sorry, I don`t open links from unknown people.

This way or another, it seems nobody here can help you.

Why don`t you send your enquiry to Allegro directly????

the western front in the area of Poznan or Wroclaw.

No. By the Western front I mean the one where Western allies fought - in France and Western Germany. Poznan or Wrocław was the Eastern front. Polish soldiers were in both fronts.

News / Food producers from Poland should stop suffering from obliged sanctions against Russia [75]

Hell most Americans don't like NATO. (One World Order)

Not most but pussy Repubs. What has happened to them? Repubs under RR were indomitable freedom fighters, like Polish insurgents in the past. Today, they turned into materialistic azholes who are foolish enough to believe a few cents they spend on NATO today will save their budget.
