Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1400]

@jon357, yeah, this discussion is mouthwatering ;D

As for the Valastro's recipe for those zucchini patties - there's cheese in that one too, I just meant that it doesn't have to be parmesan in particular - any "yellow cheese" will do the job :)


Wow, so you're a culinary pioneer! :)

I see a moderator is in action again messing up my post: 🙄


This was my response to Feniks and Lenka who wrote that they'd like to try out those zucchini patties I posted about.


Is that an Ukrainian thing though? 🤔 We do that in my family too... I'd say it's a standard for kotlety mielone recipe :)

Hmm, sounds interesting... 🤔 I like experimenting, so why not! :) Have you tried it yourself?


Interesting - does this dish have any particular name in English?

They're definitely worth a try, imho! :)))

Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1400]

@Lenka, those zucchini "meatballs" sound great too! :d


Why is that?


Mine look a bit different than in the video - they're bigger and flatter (I fry them like placki ziemniaczane) and they're not as brown as hers. The colour is more like in this recipe:

allrecipes.com/recipe/13941/zucchini-patties/



I just use ordinary cheese and flour instead of that Bisquick thing that Valastro's wife used in the video (I think I even remember frying them without flour). If you don't like parsley then don't add it or add just a little bit - they're still very tasty without it :)


The veggies soaking up that smoky sausage flavour... So good and juicy... Great smell too... ;O

I think zuchhinis are great! I love them in a version of leczo (Hungarian lecsó) that my family makes - yum! :d

polonist.com/polish-leczo-kielbasa-and-peppers/

I honestly can even eat it when it's only zuchhini and sausage in it, without the peppers and tomatoes :)


Zuchhinis are great when fried! The smell is amazing! I really like the recipe I learned from Buddy Valastro for zucchini patties when watching his show - here's a video of his wife making them (it's her mom's recipe):

And this was in response to Feniks, who wrote: "It sounds like your mother was trying to extract any remaining liquid in the cheese by pressing it." Sorry, the moderator messed up my post and it can be confusing now :(

Btw, as it is mentioned on the site I linked to - you can use twaróg for other Polish traditional food, like pierogi, naleśniki and sernik (cheesecake) :) ❤️


That was of course addressed to mbadach, but it looks like a moderator cut out the quote from my post.

Food / Help with Polish recipe - Żurek soup? [25]


Yup.

We don't put cheese into żurek in my family, but żurek recipes vary a bit depending on the region of Poland. The one your mother made sounds like żurek benedyktyński (the Benedictine sour rye soup).


In Polish it's called "ser biały" (white cheese) or "twaróg".


polonist.com/farmers-cheese-twarog/

Yes, the remaining liquid is called "serwatka" in Polish (in English it's called "whey"). My grandma would hang the cheese in the cheesecloth tied to a knob of a kitchen cupboard and let the liquid drip (it takes a while). It would have such shape:

History / Poles and (Polish) Jews... Victims of war... and beyond [380]


Ah, from Nazi propaganda, I'm guessing - it looks like the Nazis liked to cover up stuff with "RAF bombings":

nationalww2museum.org/war/articles/last-days-dachau-concentration-camp

"Elser, who had only recently been transferred to Dachau after spending much of the war in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, was executed with a shot in the back of the neck on the orders of Heinrich Himmler. Himmler commanded that responsibility for Elser's death be attributed to a raid by the Royal Air Force."

Btw, I've seen a documentary about the liberation of Dachau camp by American troops. In that documentary they showed photos and videos of those trains filled with bodies mentioned in that link I posted:

"They discovered a train comprised of about 40 cars, literally overflowing with corpses."

Here are some of the videos:

History / Poles and (Polish) Jews... Victims of war... and beyond [380]


Read again then:

"As part of the overall liquidation of the evidence of crime, crematoria II and III together with their gas chambers were partially dismantled in late 1944, and ,blown up in January 1945. Crematorium IV was partially burned during the Sonderkommando mutiny on October 7, 1944, and later dismantled. Crematorium V functioned until the very end, and was blown up on January 26, 1945, the day before the liberation of the camp."

Why would you blow up crematoria in January 1945 and the day before the camp's liberation if not to hide the evidence? They could just leave them as they were.

In case you didn't know - the gas chambers at Auschwitz-Birkenau were destroyed by the order of Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS, which he gave in November 1944 - when it was already obvious that the Nazi Germany is going to lose the war.


The guards failed to destroy some of the storerooms - what was left there is what you can see on display.


The reason is given here:

history.com/news/how-the-nazis-tried-to-cover-up-their-crimes-at-auschwitz

"The Nazis' goal wasn't only to destroy evidence of the camp: They had plans to force the prisoners to serve as slave laborers for the Reich. (...)
The only people left behind in the camp were people deemed unfit for labor-those who were too ill or weak. An SS order came down to murder any prisoners who were left, and the SS killed about 700 prisoners in response. However, order at the camp was breaking down. SS officers began escaping themselves, and the strict hierarchy that had kept prisoners in line disappeared. Those officers who stayed burned documents in a last-ditch attempt to hide their crimes."

So, tell me, Poloniusz, do you think that the Holocaust didn't happen?


Because the exact same thing didn't happen to others - only Jews were the Nazis' target for a complete genocide - the purpose of death camps was the annihilation of Jews. Omitting that fact was falsifying history.

It was obviously way easier and quicker to burn sheets of paper than to destroy "everything that is now on display", although they did try:

I think he complained about basic facts not being mentioned.

History / Poles and (Polish) Jews... Victims of war... and beyond [380]


What "other evidence"?

Are you a Holocaust denier too? 🤨


Perhaps that was the case, I don't know - I can't read the article ("not available in my region" for some reason), so I don't know where the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council in Washington got that info from (about Soviet reasons behind those numbers).

However, Pilecki was giving similar numbers - from 2 to 5 million and I don't think he's being accused of "concocting" those numbers for some kind of political reasons.

And what was the official number given in the West?


That was true about PRL, I don't know about the Soviet Union. I remember that Spielberg complained that when he visited Auschwitz-Birkenau for the first time (or during filming "Schindler's List" - I don't remember exactly) the tour guide kept saying that "people" were murdered there, without mentioning that majority of them were Jews. I don't see how a higher number of victims would somehow "de-Judaize" Auschwitz though. 🤔

@Novichok, not every woman is a little Suzie... lol



But, yeah, I'm a "little Suzie" myself and I would be unfit for a soldier in a combat role.

In the ideal scenario only people who are fit to be soldiers become soldiers, but in times of war, when your country is being invaded, you may start running out of men and women may have to fill in some gaps.

From what I've read there's shortage of candidates for soldiers in the US army. The same is with Polish police - somehow those brave, big men don't want to serve the society as police officers. So the Polish police is hiring whomever is willing, including women. I don't know about you, but I'd rather have a female officer answer my call in case of emergency than noone at all:

History / Poles and (Polish) Jews... Victims of war... and beyond [380]


But Witold Pilecki wasn't a Stalinist, you dumb asswipe lol


The starvation in Auschwitz wasn't caused by any bombing. It was due to food rations arbitrarily fixed by the Nazis - those food rations were too small to survive in the camp conditions. According to the estimate by the Nazis themselves they were enough to survive for around 3 months. They knew what they were doing. The only clothes that prisoners had to wear, no matter the weather and season, were underwear and thin striped clothes. That wasn't due to "Allied bombings" either. The Nazis simply wanted the Jews to die and they didn't care if the non-Jewish prisoners will live or die either.


No, that is exactly your mindset. Your Holocaust denial is your faith. You don't care about facts, evidence, witnesses and historical research. You believe against all historical knowledge that Holocaust didn't happen, because you want to believe.


Fortunately you don't get to decide who can live in Poland and who can't :))) And, btw, ty się chyba z dupą na głowę zamieniłeś :D

History / Poles and (Polish) Jews... Victims of war... and beyond [380]

@call1n, you're sick in the head.


That was the Soviet Union estimate. The Nazis destroyed most of the documentation, so it wasn't known how many exactly people were murdered. The Soviet committee made a mathematical estimate - they took into consideration the number of days and the capacity of crematoria. According to the report of Witold Pilecki, who was a prisoner of Auschwitz-Birkenau camp himself, it could be from 2 million to 5 million people.

A quote from Wikipedia (my translation from Polish):

"When I went out from Auschwitz (27.04.1943) 97 000 prisoners with tattooed numbers were murdered. That number had nothing to do with with the number of undocumented people who were being gassed and burned by their masses. Over two million of them were killed. I've given those numbers roughly in order not to exaggerate. My colleagues, who were prisoners for longer than me and witnessed 8000 people being gassed a day, give the estimate of 5 million people."

So, the problem was that up to 80% people who were sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau camp didn't get to be prisoners - after arrival at the camp they were sent straight to gas chambers and burnt. Those were Jews from Poland and all over Europe.
So, there was even no bodies that you could count after the camp was liberated.

As you can see - those higher numbers weren't due to some kind of ill will or intent to fool people. Over the years due to historical research those numbers were simply verified.

History / Poles and (Polish) Jews... Victims of war... and beyond [380]


In Auschwitz-Birkenau camp alone around 1 million Jews, 70 000 Poles, 21 000 Roma people and 14 000 Soviet POWs were murdered. It would be simply impossible to save so many people in an occupied country. Your anti-Semitism damaged your brain lol

I don't know what you mean by "having the bodies for controversial dresses" then... I've seen quite a few Oscars ceremonies in my life and women were usually dressed in normal dresses no matter what their bodies were like and how old they were.


But that's not my argument. My argument is "majority doesn't".


My impression is that very few do (if any).

Not all women are on pills, "genius".


Tell that to Soviet female veterans (quote from Wiki):

"Soviet women played an important role in World War II. While most worked in industry, transport, agriculture and other civilian roles, working double shifts to free up enlisted men to fight and increase military production, a sizable number of women served in the army. The majority were in medical units."

So, you're saying that those women in medical units were a "burden"? Who needs people who save lives, right? lol 🙄

@Poloniusz, plenty of women were deployed to war zones for months (and that means they menstruated). Those women have more balls than you ever will.
