Food / Do you call it kiszka or kaszanka? [61]

@Alien, I personally like kaszanka the best when fried - like this :):

@jon357, I've googled to find out what's the difference in English between those two and apparently "baked potatos" are when you bake them whole and "roast potatos" are when you cut them in pieces and bake them. In Polish both would be "pieczone ziemniaki".

I've never heard of your "Ash-roasted potatoes, cooked in the ashes of a campfire or charcoal grill"

They aren't "mine" - I literally gave you a link in English *shrugs*

Too much hassle to make the "ashes of a campfire or charcoal grill" on a wet Tuesday teatime.

Well, they don't taste exactly the same if you bake them in the oven and you do it in the summer during holiday with your whole family in the countryside :))) The main attraction though was always homemade Polish sausage with mustard of course *drools* 🤤

@jon357, I've googled it and that's what I've found, among others:

"Ash-roasted potatoes can be cooked in the ashes of a campfire or charcoal grill."

The best Poles can manage is flattened pork fried in breadcrumbs and served with boiled potato

Of course not lol

In summary, Polish food is pretty boring for anyone but Poles

You can say the same about British food :)))

(I would imagine roast potatoes are a revelation

I've been eating ash roasted potatos (from a campfire in the countryside) since I was a kid and I've eaten them roasted in an oven, but nothing beats Polish potato "pancakes" for me o_O

Sledzik is disgusting.

Dude, I absolutely love herring in oil with onion (it has to be fresh though, or it gets disgusting) and I couldn't care less if any foreigners like it or not! ;D

I find sushi vomit-inducing though, so go figure...

I also love the veggie salad with mayo - it's childhood food that we've been all accustomed to, like you've been accustomed to your lamb or whatever :)

Our food is not for foreigners to love. Get over yourself lol

Life / Poland is horrible and I have to live here - somebody call a whambulance! [95]

But he doesn't realize we're laughing at him and not with him....

In my previous post I meant that his writing style can be funny at times from what I've noticed :) For example here:

https://polishforums.com/life/poland-around-horrible-smell-sweat-26785/7/#msg2034151

I laughed out loud at that "ripe yeti soaked in spirytus" lol 😂

And as a Tolkien fan I appreciate the Uruk-hai reference :)

to the extent that you cannot get to hospital with a serious health issue, unless you first privately consult the doctor who works in the hospital

I've never heard about it being that bad. Apparently you can get more interest from a doctor at the hospital if you went for a private visit first and he was the one who sent you to the hospital (that's something I've also observed from my own experience when I had a surgery, I guess). My PRL-raised mother even told me to bribe that surgeon, but I'd rather die than do such a thing lol

In fairness now, he's quite right in many of his observations.

Judging by the limited number of his posts that I've read - I wouldn't say so. He picks one negative thing about Poland and blows it out of proportion.

One cannot but sympathise.

Well, someone like you and jon357 - for sure :)))

Why are you being so silly? Have you caught the Novi disease?

Funny you should say that, because it looks to me like WarSore caught that disease, it's just, unlike Novichok, he can be quite funny :)

@Bobko, wow, new girlfriend and "fiancé" already? Who is it this time - Chechen freedom fighter with Georgian roots? ;D (sorry, I couldn't help myself lol)

You and other women are inferior human beings.

Speaking of the devil...

Why is Paulina getting so angry?

I actually cry internally. 😭

People get angry when they say shlt because they can't offer a good counterargument.

I've offered good counterarguments to your lies many, many times, so cut the bullsh1t.

( you know the type that stares at a young girls chest and tells her how she grew e.t.c.)

Ewwww, yes, I know this type all too well... 🤮

@Bobko, you mentioned johnny_reb and Strzelec35, but conveniently omitted Novichok who's the biggest offender in terms of hatred towards women on this forum :)))

The things we write are so ridiculous, that it is insulting you would think we meant them sincerely.

Men write and say such ridiculous things about women (even on this forum) that it is insulting indeed not only to women, but also to human intellect. So you can't really blame me *shrugs* Again - how am I supposed to know what your views are if you don't share them?

That is not to say we don't believe in Truth of Scripture, or that you are not misinterpreting Paul - but I mean the overall gist of it. It's a joke, Paulina, relax.

?
You see, again - I don't know if you're joking here or not.

You've placed this goddamn cross on your own shoulders. Why does Lena not feel obligated to respond to every misogynistic joke? Atch ignores them all completely.

I am a very Polish woman - self-sacrifice runs in my blood, I guess lol 🤔 And I don't respond to every misogynistic joke or comment. I've ignored a lot of stuff on this forum. Lenka generally posts less than me. As for Atch - she has her own way of dealing with misogyny on this forum and definitely doesn't ignore it all completely. And roz pretty much doesn't write here anymore.

Ephesians 5:25

OMG, this is actually so funny... :D Because it reminds me of today's men saying to women that "your husband would give his life for you" (like Christ did for the humankind)... But of course they very rarely have an opportunity to do that, almost never. They have all the opportunity in the world to share the burdens of everyday life with their wives though - taking care of kids, the household, their wife, but they don't seem to be willing to "serve" their family in this way (let alone their wife). I guess it's too boring and tiresome and not "glorious" enough for them. 🤔 Men are meant for "more important things", you see. Like Christ. The saviour of humankind. So Paul compared a husband to Christ and the wife to the Church - made up of flawed humans who are supposed to blindly follow Christ and submit to him in everything. Wow. I'm not sure if you realise how megalomaniac this is.

We were all joking?

The conservative Catholic Torq was joking too? By quoting the New Testament? You think he disagrees with those quotes he posted?

If someone were to say these things to you in earnest

How am I supposed to know whether you say such things in earnest or not? You for example - you've been making such comments before, so it makes me wonder if it's some kind of expression of your prejudice towards women.

You guys never defend women on this forum, you usually never take part in discussions about women and their rights, so how am I supposed to know your views?

Why focus on the ten percent of sh*tters that get a rise out of humiliating someone?

Because I have to deal with those sh*tters on this forum on regular basis? There isn't much more to focus on PF, I'm afraid.

Yes, he did.

Where?

But this is top class comedy, right here.

"Comedy"? Which one of you was joking then?

so consider this: in Catholi theology Saint Virgin Mary is higher in hierarchy than all the angels and archangels (not to mention all the popes, apostles, saints etc.).

You think they would let Mary study at the university in Kraków in the 15th century? Or would she be considered too stupid for that as a woman? 🙄🤦

In other words, men are to be at the service of women for the good of women.

He didn't write that anywhere. What he did literally write though was that "wives should submit in everything to their husbands" just as "the church submits to Christ". So what he was basically saying was that wives should treat their husbands like gods. This amounts to blasphemy, imho. No human should have such power over another human being. You can only submit in everything to God.

Maybe she is into bondage and that kind of kinky stuff

Btw, these kind of comments (sexual and attacking me as a woman) I'm somehow mainly getting from the conservative, right-wing, supporting traditional Christian family values type of men on this forum. The epitome of right-wing morals and values, eh...

Seriously, would you please get me one

No, men have legs, hands and brains (allegedly lol), so you can get it yourself, preferably in this mug :D:

@Torq, no, men repeatedly make sure on this forum that I don't feel like "one of you". Stuff like this isn't funny for women, trust me. Because crap like this is too real for too many of us around the world. It's depressing and sickening what men often think, say about women and how they treat them while justifying it with that kind of crap that you quoted from Paul. 🤮

@Torq, Bobko, AntV, you men make it so easy for women to hate you... So don't act all surprised when they actually do hate you.

This is divinely inspired scripture, Word of God, by definition inerrant.

No, this is a letter written by a Jewish guy long time ago.

Why the name-calling, Paulina?

It's not name-calling, it's the truth.

Christian theology is clear on the subject: man was created for God, woman was created for man.

Where in the Gospels does Jesus say that?

This is the word of God.

LOL

No, again, this is a letter written by Paul (allegedly, because the authorship has been disputed as usual).

Jon357, really? Seriously? Is it really so hard for you to believe or comprehend that once women living in a fundamentalist religious authoritarian regime with laws that force them to wear certain type of clothing leave that country they choose to wear whatever they want? Unbelievable!!! Incomprehensible!!! :D Why would any woman want to do such a thing?? 🙄

The vanishingly small few who a. can afford to travel, and b. he's seen.

Some years ago I've seen a documentary in which some guy was travelling by trains in different parts of the world and talking to ordinary people. I remember that when he was on a train going from Iran to some other country most women who were on that train took off their hijabs and headscarves once the train left Iran.
So it looks like nothing changed in this respect.

This is a young Iranian guy who lives in Poland and he invited his mom to visit our country. She took off her hijab in public for the first time in her life. She also wore a summer dress in public (with no pants) for the first time too. It was the first time in her life she felt wind in her hair and between her legs. She said she's happy! They both look happy :):

Free Bleeding is a thing apparently.

Where?

One of the newspapers I read had an article recently from a woman who said it changed her life.

Good for her, but I have no idea how she went about with her everyday life then while doing all that "free bleeding".

Not according to the women who nowadays advocate it

As I wrote already - completely impractical.

Nope.

No, that is typical women's logic - you like to have it your way.

Ah, so you prefer if women in those cultures don't have their way? But it's OK if men have their way? That's your "logic"?

Better, what is better, you are prejudiced like hell.

Tell that to this woman, a$$hole:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malala_Yousafzai

Iran norms are fairly relaxed, there are worse places when even I say that is too much.

Ah, yes, the famous joke about Stalin comes to mind: "A mógł zabić!" lol 🤦

Elaborate, what do I gain if women wear head coverings in Iran?

I don't know - maybe you're enjoying it when women suffer or when they're uncomfortable and hot? Or when they're forced to do what they don't want to do? I honestly don't know what's wrong with you and why you're defending that law in Iran.

Why not? I see this in Poland sometimes.

Eh, as a man you probably don't get it...
Would you like your pee or excrements to be running down your legs for something like 4 to 7 days a month? Because that would be the equivalent of "free bleeding" for men. For those who don't know - menstrual blood is not just blood, btw:

"It's a combination of blood, uterine tissue, cervical mucus, and vaginal secretions."

And anyway - it would be completely impractical - women wouldn't be able to sit anywhere, because they would stain everything with menstrual blood. What a ridiculous idea lol

Its application isn't..,

And... that makes it so much better, according to you, or what?

@Ironside, your opinion stems from your selfishness and lack of empathy towards women and girls. You like how things are in those cultures because men have it better than women in those cultures.

You think you know better than those societies and those women.

Honestly? Yes, I do. For example, in India women and girls are considered worth less than men and boys. This has detrimental effect to their lives. It may even result in them not being born at all - just because they're female. As a woman (and every normal human being really) I have the right to judge such culture for what it is if I feel like it.

And, anyway, which women? Many women rebel against their own cultures in those more conservative, patriarchal societies.

What is it called - cultural imperialism?

No, just being a decent, logical and empathic human being.

At home, you don't need to wear anything; going out, you need to conform to the social norms anyway.

The question is whether those social norms are reasonable and fair. But in Iran it's a law and not some universal "social norms".

Make them feel like victims and point a finger at men as the culprits of women's misery. Those are nasty, sinister people - feminists.

No, nasty and sinister people are misogynistic, selfish a$$holes like you. I hope the likes of you will die out one day like dinosaurs.

@jon357, "junk" is a slang expression. I've seen men using it, so what's "negative" about it?

Nobody would force you

I would be forced to see it, even if just accidentally walking down the street.

Would you be disgusted though?

Yes. Or disturbed or scared - depending on the situation. Either way - it would make me feel uncomfortable.

Anyway, you can see more on displaying its covered by fabric sometimes.

What?

Also, another thing - the smell. Quite a few people don't wash themselves often enough and I wouldn't want to be forced to feel the odour of someone's unwashed private parts when I'm entering a bus or a shop during summer.

And women and girls would have to wear panties during periods anyway.

This is a long way from America's illegal attack on Iran though.

Well, you took it in this direction in your #566 post.

Why would it?

Ask men.

There's plenty of beaches in Poland where people go without clothes. It's no big deal.

Those beaches are for the willing though. I'm unwilling and I don't want to be forced to see some stranger's junk and witness some stranger getting aroused by my body.

There are anyway.

But at least I'm not forced to witness their arousal in full display in public. For me as a woman - this fact makes me feel better, safer, more comfortable and less disgusted. It's the same for young girls - trust me, I was one.

The clothing is just something outsiders see.

And it became a visual symbol of Islam's attitude towards women.

It's generally self enforced among women.

You would be "self enforcing" it too, if not wearing it would mean getting harassed or raped.

Also, in many cultures misogynistic traditions are passed down to young generations also by women. I think you're intelligent enough to know that this is how those women were raised and that's all they know and understand.

I myself and my brother were dragged to church every Sunday by our mother when we were kids. My brother was first to rebel. Then I followed. We could do that though because Poland is still a pretty secular country, unlike some other countries outside of Europe (not only Muslim ones).

That happens anyway.

And more would happen then.

Generally when the novelty wears off, nobody notice

Maybe that would happen in case of many people, but there always would be some perverts that would get aroused nonetheless. I don't like the idea of witnessing a paedophile getting aroused by my naked little daughter. The thought alone makes me feel sick. No, thank you.

Some people 8n Europe wear hijab. Does that trigger you?

No, it just makes me feel sad. Because apparently those women were led to believe that there's something wrong with a female having hair on her head. It's obviously stupid.

What does bother me is Muslim parents (in the West or elsewhere, it doesn't matter) forcing little girls to wear hijab. What the f*ck is "indecent" about a little girl's hair?? 🤦

Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.

Ah, Paul the Misogynist. That's just one of the letters though. Jesus hasn't said that in any of the Gospels. In Islam it's allegedly a direct requirement from God for a woman to cover her hair.

walk down the street naked and fully aroused, what's the problem?

Men raping women and girls would be the main problem. Also - hygiene. Even in the Amazon people are covering their "lower regions" - I'm guessing they do that for a reason.

I personally wouldn't want to see random people's intimate parts in full display. Those parts have sexual functions and are being covered for a reason. Hair on your head have no biological sexual functions. There should be some common sense applied. 🤔

There is no reason to assume that European dress is in any way superior or a better option.

I find any religion/culture telling people female hair offend God to be retarded and inhumane and deserving of becoming obsolete.

The law in Iran doesn't force anyone to wear full hijab. Only a headscarf.

It doesn't matter. Women are required by law to cover their hair in Iran. That's the point.

Most however choose to wear it since that is part of their culture.

How do you know that? The protests in Iran have shown that many are against it.

The "coat" is the niqab. That's more an Arab/Afghan thing.

Hijab is just a scarf.

I know what a hijab is. It was jon357 who compared it to wearing a coat in Europe.

No, it is not, a decent wear and hair covering, for example, a scarf. Not a big deal.

It's not "a big deal" for you because you're a man and you're not forced to wear it every day for the rest of your life.

You see, this is what makes women hate men. Not feminism, not any propaganda. It's men's selfishness and lack of empathy towards women.

Learn manners.

Liars, bullshitters, manipulators and demagogues don't deserve my manners.

Part of their culture, and very widespread.

This thread is about Iran and it is forced by law in Iran. You compared it to wearing a coat in Europe which is not forced by law or even culture - you put a coat on when you're cold, so cut the bullsh1t.

I'll write what I want. Who the hell do you think you are?

You mean you will bullsh1t, lie and display your lack of empathy whenever you want? OK. But I will call you out on your bullsh1t.

There is nothing wrong with forcing women to dress appropriately.

Would you be saying the same if Muslims started immigrating to Poland in bigger numbers and in order to accommodate them Polish schools would tell Polish girls to wear hijabs and cover their arms and legs even during summer? I wonder how you would explain it to your daughter - that she can't take off that rag from her head during summer despite feeling hot, because some "brown men" may rape her.
