Life / Understanding Polish Mailing Addresses [21]

Zgłobice 210 is the reall address - there is no street because the said Zgłobice in most propably one street village (though quite long judging from the 210 house number)

p-ta Zbylitowska Góra is the direction to post office (Zgłobice didn't have one)
powiat (county) Tarnów, voievodship Kraków

the address lacks a postal code - I'm not sure but probably back in the early 50's we didn't have any - nowadays you don't have to add county and voievodship just a postal code will do

my mom adds onion to most of the soups she makes - probably except for the cauliflower soup

as for herrings - there is a nice herring based salad originally from Ukraine that is called 'szuba' (or 'szuba ukraińska') - it makes use of beetroot - my mom did it a couple of times and I liked it - google for a recipe if you are interested

I'm not sure but I guess after preparing the paste you should leave it for a time for the tastes of the ingredients to blend

wow, you must be a deft cook then :) - my mum used to make a dish of mackerel (she calls it 'pasta z makreli') - you crush mackerel, add butter, chives and parsley leaves - you can also add diced sour cucumbers (I'm not sure if ogórki kiszone are the same thing as 'dill pickles') - you can find a recipe by just googling 'pasta z makreli' - of course it is smoked mackerel that is used (I took a glance at a couple of recipes and they use mayo or yoghurt instead of butter - a new 'healthy' fad I guess)

History / Is Poland a Slavic country?! (politics included) [90]


I'm not sure but from what I can gather Germanic tribes invaded Poland from the north (it is presumed that the Urheimat of Burgundians was Bornholm) like the Urheimat of Goths was Gotland) - before Germanic tribes people call Venedi lived here (they were not Slavic but neither were they Germanic) - as far as I know it is reflected in archaelogy too
