Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1410]

Pumpkin? 0_0 how does THAT taste?
It is a squash after all.. and would take the simmering better..but wouldnt it make it sweet?
Otherwise ...with the missing 2 hot peppers.. that is my cutting board.

Oh yes..I can see I will not be going hungry or craving unavailable food; when eventually living in Poland. Resisting real czech and german beer will be hard.... but gotta keep mah girlish figure and not put my man off from kissing me cuz da alkie breath. HEH!

Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]

He plans to work up to living in a home that is rural near forests and really wishes to try for off a stream or lake.

It will probably be in a reasonable distance of his hometown of Białystok.

While in the States I'll settle us in an area where his education will do him best.We figure it will be about 5 years to get the padding needed to purchase a suitable place, steady up after the move of such distance as a cushion for as we settle in

I myself am overeducated huntress and not City-oriented, so his plan is fine for me.

What do you know about lecho?

Lecho also yumm. Bell pepper, tomatoes, kielbasa, some boczek, spices... Good for winter! And Hungarian paprika-impotrant :)

Oh Yum That sounds like a Bohemian Basque dish my Baginski/Bagɲes family brought from Portugal ! tavă

Simply means literal grilled or skillet cooked. Main Ingredients are salway spicy Sausage,Bell Peppers, Peppers, Tomatoes, Onions, Garlic and usually a squash added last like zuccini or summer squash or Eggplant. Added spices are Paprika, Tarragon and Cilantro/chinese parsley and sea salt. Regionally add Mushrooms, Ham and fresh firm seafood. Usually langistino or prawn

After braising teh main ingredients and all meats; you add the tomatoes and remainder and simmer about 2 hours in iron skillet or pan (and in alternate last 30 minutes you add the soft vegetables during last 30 minutes). Eat over a sturdy fresh bread. Mmmmmmmm!

History / Battle of Vienna - history movie about Poland / Commemoration [36]

Sorry, guys, I have bad news for you. It is another crap, even worse than 1920 Battle of Warsaw.

Do you have suggestions for better? (I have ALWAYS -as in since old enough for 'read me a story' and like the illustrations- loved the imagery of hussars..ESPECIALLY Polish Winged Cavalry)

Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]

I can't say I "love it "since it is romantic concept til I actually begin living there. I better learn to love it since the long range plans with my betrothed is retiring there.. ^_^ Which is part of reason I am here. To learn more of present poland.

But I did always like archaic history of the region including, Polish history.
I was always *le sigh* as a lil girl over Hussars, specially the Polish Winged Calvary. Sketched historical battles, dinosaurs, puppies, horses, castles and Hussars. Oh and fair maidens. Still do, well not so much puppies and dinosaurs anymore.

And I like the sound of it spoken more than the Boheme I grew up with. So soft. And I certainly love the foods.

My bestest best friend in all the world is 1/2 Polish 1st generation stateside. Been in Germany last 6 years.
My chosen sister for 13 years is Slovak
My second bestest best friend... is gonna marry me and is native.
There is something beyond coincidence in this.

Realistically I am hoping it it is not too humid, I am asthmatic. I hope I find something to do while retired. I'm normally kinda of outdoorsy. This past 2 years is unsual. I don't think it will be Golf. Allergies.. meh. I'll deal. I might get ancy in the winters but Germany and SNOWBOARDING are not far away-WOOOO! I'll miss hunting wild pig, deer and elk. I am sure there are some things I am spoiled with , that I may miss. Product availability, infrastructure EVERYwhere (mostly I am spoiled by fast reliable broadband internet) maybe.

Everytime I peek in this thread I leave famished! or want to cry out "MARRY ME! you stay home I'LL work!"

I am such a foodie. My BMI passes barely but I am 10 kg over for my height. *shrug* I haven't cooked this weekend.
My dinner tonight was Chef BoyArdee (NOT technically food) >_<

Love / Best, safe Polish dating sites? [95]

I couldn't find a single other person that looks even 40% like my paramor on either site at any age group 0_0 Most looked kinda generic on that first link.

*the curvy ginger is now exponentially pleased with her luck! as she couldn't find another person that fits so many personal...?criteria? fetishes? if she even tried in his home country**

Scoooooore!

Love / How do guys from Poland flirt? [47]

I always ask the girl if she wants to see my postage stamps collection.

Wadusili? is that you?..... <_<

LOL OMG that is joke I have with BF.....!!!! I told him that certain softer foreign languages (obviously not finnish or russian) Come up and see my stamp collection tonight it can sound sexy!! And so now once in a while when he knows I am unsuspecting he'll asy that ..or some other innocent phrase in "the voice". ^_^

(It stemmed from me trolling a secondary cousin that wanted to say in Portugeuse something that would end rather risque to a guy she barely knew. So I taught her to say "Come up to my place and see my stamp collection tonight"

Venha ateeminha casa hoje a noite... e ver a minha "colecao de selos" *waggle brow* He warms to her tone; has a laugh-broke the ice and he didntthink her a slut based on the somewhat forward american pickup/invite translated would be. I just told her HOW to say it. But I was being really really trolly *blush*..because I had refused her and she insisted)

More romantically than other men. They prefer to play noble knights,

Yep, that is My Wadulsili. Pessimist with the heart of a Paladin!

Took forever to decide to approach.. so veeeeeery proper and cautious. Then, charged in and swept me up!
Once decided=Romantic+Passionate+Direct (in genteel way)

And I have never seen him slovenly.not his environs nor his clothing (his hair now and agian in early mornin).
He is always dressed neatly casual, rarely unshaved..as I ..american sloth ...am often still in my bedclothes until 10-11am

Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1410]

How about a farmer with a cowshed, sty or pond?

Alas no...

Located in FL near the beach at present for the next year. I can surf fish or river fish for ingredients for nice cerviche' or try to smoke it myself.

But I worry about technique in the gawdawful humidity. I could renew my hunting license and bag deer or boar in nearby Georgia with friends again, but I cannot make my own sausage. I do pickle things when I can store the equipment in a larger home.

The nearest Int'l or Eu deli is too far to bike or walk and not on the trans line.

Now I'm really hungry and no Specialty delicatessan or butcher near.

Except the fish heads.... I don't like my food to stare accusingly. And I don't like having to 'pick at" something.
To flavor a soup maybe.

Oh I so love pickled things and sausages. *sigh*

Language / Nice Polish phrases to say to men [76]

My BF has also called me kochanie. And I remembered what it could mean from him from a conversation we had long ago over guy say- girl say stuff.

I too would like to learn a "public" endearment. But for now, rather than stumble badly on an unfamiliar Polish term; I in turn call him a Tsalagi term that means "honied" referring to the hue of his hair, skin and his demeanor. It makes him feel special, but not so much as the word that we reserve for "the One" which basically translates and home hearth.

Though I speak mostly english now? it was my 4th language. My growing up I was fluent in Boheme, Portuguese,Euskala, and English, then smattering Tsalagi, German and Castille. Not a single great grand spoke english at all and only one grandparent spoke english unbroken.

I wish to learn Polish eventually in order to communicate with his family when needed though he is more keen on learning English and is fairly fluent. It won't be a problem when I import him to be my "foreign bride" . But I am certain he will wish to return home at some point.

I have a feeling my Boheme is gonna mess up my diction and accent (as well as my US Southernese). Heck, only time I can say his name right is when I'm... er highly distracted. But with the little so far, I'll naturally answer 'ano' before 'tak'.

I would be soooo afraid of wrong endearment. We can be pretty trolly buds.. we were trolly gamer pals for a year. But he is very traditional in RL and conservative. I wouldn't want to say something inappropriate. 0-0

I do know I'll be careful about offering or asking for ice cream! LOL.. Oh my !

Oh I am necormancing this thread! I have setting to live..but wow...2010. Sory Id I wish it could delete >_<
