Food / Traditional Polish Soups. [85]


Much earlier - king Jagiełło loved true tripe soup.
No need to spoil a perfect dish with cheap substitutes like chicken meat - yes, we have a war with the invisible enemy but it doesn`t excuse us. Tripes with chicken is no longer tripe but chicken giblet soup. :):)


Please stop or I will puke my breakfast out. :):)

Oops, it is a disgrace to tradition. True flaki must be made with pork, beef or calf rumen or other intestines.

Study / Studying in Poznan for an Arab student. [25]


As a Jew, why didn`t you go to Israel but to Poland instead? Random guess - Polish people are kinder than Israelis?

Food / Kwasnica recipe? - kwas foss or fuse soup make from pork stock sour cream and vinegar [3]

Here an article about the difference. Both soups require sauerkraut. But kwśnica also uses sauerkraut juice, mutton and mushrooms. It must be clear soup - only potatoes and meat inside.

While kapuśniak uses other kinds of meat and contains sauerkraut farfocle, potatoes and other veg.

Yes, we have kept fasting tradition all the time in my family. Zero meat on the Eve till today when the strictness was loosened.

For some people faith and religion are important issues, for other - not. It all depends on individuals, one can`t say anything for sure until people meet and talk.

Work / Water purifying system services and airconditioning system services engineer - in Poland? [3]

Hmm, I wouldn`t agree. Kids need a father when they are both little and a bit older, like in their teens.

USA, Canada / Poles and Americans, what do you think, are we friends or enemies? [190]

Mostly friends, but when intoxicated, we can turn into "enemies." Like during street scuffles between young Polish men and American soldiers. All drunk, of course.

So, nothing serious, really. When they get sober, they are friends again.

Genealogy / Polish equivalent of "Jessie"? [48]

Jessie is known in Poland. However, I remember being surprised to hear "Jared" for the first time in the film Night at the Museum 15 years ago. It sounded very strange.

The equivalent of Jared could be Jarek from Jarosław.

Law / Which is the best city in Poland to open a kebab shop? [56]


Probably Warsaw. The richest city in Poland. Also tolerant. But other cities are not worse.

But opening a facility like that now is risky - the virus scared people off such places.

Life / Getting two beers instead of one - have this happen to you in Poland? [9]


Waiter`s job is very tiring - and I don`t mean only physical aspect of it now - after a few hours you forget your name. I had similar experiences in my youth. Errare humanum est.

News / Anti-Defamation League want Macierewicz (Poland defense minister) appointment withdrawn - GW [42]

No more. They dismissed him coz even PiS was fed up with his nuttery.


I heard it was a hoax concocted by Tsarist secret service in early 20th century. Anybody who uses them as an argument is a blinded fanatic.

Not against Poland but against corrupt PiS regime. These are not the same things. Stop manipulating.

Love / Dating a Polish guy. Do they cheat and have multiple women? [50]


If a male boasted of scoring 3 women, you would praise him as a macho masculine type. But when a woman admits it, you call her a slut. You fekking disgusting hypocrite!

Life / Bilingual kids in Polish schools [30]


yes, I also thought so 10, 15 years ago. But I noticed it works well with some groups and doesn`t with other. Other teachers have similar experiences. So, the vibes of power and authority the teacher gives off are useful, but can be quite selective. :)


Yes, that is always my primary problem when dealing with new students - I need to make them realise that my jokes and clowning in class have nothing in common with lowered or zero requirements. It takes them about a month or two, after which they get down to work.

Love / Polish guy offered me money for sex [18]

Yes, it is sad that when women demand to be treated as humans, not objects, men immediately lose their masculinity.

I like it when a black cat crosses the street, I treat it as an omen of good fortune. It never failed me.


How about a cockade on your car as a lucky symbol? I saw it a few times, especially in the countryside. Even my colleague who comes from the countryside has one on her car.

History / Quotes of Polish or German kings, generals [41]

Do foreign kings count too?

During partitions, Russian tsars were kings of occupied Poland. In 1856 Polish noblemen and politicians decided to ask the tsar to ease up on political repressions which prevailed after the lost November Uprising of 1830. The tsar cried out: Give up on those illusions, my gentlemen!

In 1863, the January Uprising broke out.

Study / Various education and school issues in Poland. Opinions, stories, controversies. [1006]

Yes, that`s what the nationalist site I linked to says: PiS sponsors such books to accommodate immigrants. Funny.

Love / Dating a Polish guy. Do they cheat and have multiple women? [50]


Why are you so nasty to new members? Yuk.

Language / What were the first Polish words and phrases you have learned? [63]


Were your parents Polish renegades too?


But it is all true. Polish parents who refuse to teach their kids Polish are renegades and no one can deny it.

If you weren`t so proud of it, I could really pity you. But as you are proud, no pity. You are useless for the Polish cause.

Language / What were the first Polish words and phrases you have learned? [63]


They were fekking renegades. During partitions Poles were not allowed to speak Polish by Russians or Germans, yet they did, secretly. Later Poland was resurrected thanks to such Poles. If your parents thought Polish was useless, they were useless Poles, then. I am sorry, I know you can`t change your parents today, it is too late.

Watch this wonderful scene from a film depicting times when Poles had to speak Russian in school, even in Polish class, but one patriotic boys resists and influences other boys with his patriotism. Your parents should have taken a fekking example:


I don`t need no education on renegade Poles. Simple. If I were you, I wouldn`t boast of such things, it is a disgrace.

History / Do you regard the Polish Communist Partizans as heroes? [36]


In communist times they were glorified and their role was greatly overemphasized. Later it turned out there were few of them compared to AK. Besides, they often dealt with dubious activities. Simply speaking, some communist partizans were renegades who often prefered to attack Poles instead of Germans.

However, when they fought against Germans, they could be extremely effective. There were a few famous battles in which AL units played a major role and even defeated Germans.

Unfortunately, those battle links are only in Polish:
e.g.,
pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitwa_pod_Gruszk%C4%85

At least they didn`t collaborate with Germans as openly as nationalist NSZ.
