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

I think mom used to add onion, not sure about eggs - it's been years...

by the way the Polish word pasta means paste and has nothing to do with the English word pasta

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

well - the majority of the inhabitants of West Prussia were Slavic either Kashubs or Poles (to be more strict Kociewiacy) and they spoke Slavic at home even if influence by German to smaller or bigger degree - there were also plenty of people in East Prussia (up to the time of Hitler) who spoke a dialect of Polish (Mazurzy etc) - all of them of course knew German because they were taught it at school

as for German citizenship many people in the Opole region and vicinity have German passports (or at least a status called Deutsche Staatsangehoerigkeit)- they claimed it on the basis that their ancestors were citizens of Germany at some point - so I guess it's possible for you to obtain German passport - you would have to find documents supporting your claim in German or Polish archive (one of my uncles received it back in the early 1990's - there is caveat here the law could have changed since then that I am not aware of)
