Life / Racism in Poland - the future [558]


Mostly Beydane (white) Moors.

The Tuareg are usually black and there are hardly any rural Berbers. Most slavery happens far away from Tuareg or Berbers however there are some worrying issues with olive groves in the north. More modern slavery there, which of course exits in more developed countries too.


Not especially, however the problem exists in less developed and remote parts of the world where Socialism doesn't really exist.

It can be and is. Jesus' family probably had them too, btw, as did Washington and Jefferson (who used to rape his slaves).


Some of the worst offenders are white people living in the UAE.


The chaos of a revolution and two civil wars in a decade has caused problems in every area of life. Makes capitalism without restraint. The slave you read about was probably from Masalata where they allegedly use sub-saharans (mostly male Burkinabians) in the olive groves. I'd guess though that most Libyans have never seen a
Slave though many are descended from them.

Food / Panga Fish (available in Polish stores); I'll never eat it again. Alternative? [68]


Very American. Not something to say in polite company.


We understand food.

Food / Which foods are generally disliked/unpopular in Poland? Which non-Polish foods are slowly gaining popularity? [180]

@Barney
I'd try it with an open mind.

I do like both cheese and onion but not so much as a crisp flavour.

Near me is a company called Seabrooks. As crisps go, theirs are decent.

The worst I ever ate were chocolate flavour. I was running some language tests at the factory in Poland who were thinking I'd making them.

History / Poland: Her heroes and her traitors [239]


That's really what some of them think.

Fortunately Poland is more robust.

Food / Which foods are generally disliked/unpopular in Poland? Which non-Polish foods are slowly gaining popularity? [180]


You learn something new every day.

Like Ironside, I'm no fan of crisps but would buy salt and vinegar. Cheese and onion, or cream cheese and chives, no thanks.
Pringles (p,sin or salt and vinegar) are good and when in Africa I quote like the chilli and lemon ones they have there.

UK, Ireland / What do Polish people miss about Ireland when they come back to Poland? [26]


It really isn't.


The same thing.

Ireland didn't vote for the anti-immigration parties. The U.K. (where the popular is 15 times larger voted 4 candidates in out of 635 MPs.


Only among those who didn't do well at school or generally in life.

UK, Ireland / What do Polish people miss about Ireland when they come back to Poland? [26]

We did. And they didn't vote for the party you'd like.

UK, Ireland / What English food would you serve a Pole? [172]

You'd not like North African breakfast them. Bean stew, tinned tuna and triangles of processed cheese. All washed down with Nescafé and condensed milk. Nasty.

UK, Ireland / What do Polish people miss about Ireland when they come back to Poland? [26]

Of course not. Nowhere has been "overrun".

UK, Ireland / What do Polish people miss about Ireland when they come back to Poland? [26]


Overrun?

UK, Ireland / What English food would you serve a Pole? [172]


Ore and more popular in PL. A lot of the shops have them now, mostly Uzk brands. I don't buy them.


I was always intrigued by it when I was a kid. We never bought it but a few markets stalls had it due to there being a lot of Scots in the town.,

Life / What do Polish people talk about? [56]

It's a little different. Baked in a roll. Very much a regional dish however there's a difference between the Manchester kind, a type of wędliny, and the Lincolnshire kind, baked at home, and very herby.

The Polish word pasztet is a bit of a catch-all. Covering everything from Ardennes Pate, baked terrines right through to cheap and nasty potted meat in tubs.

Life / What do Polish people talk about? [56]


Not 'facts' however at least you spell humour correctly.


You're missing out.

How about haslet?

Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1450]


I don't mind it, however the filling is usually bland. Nicer if you vary the recipe to give it a kick.

Works better with kasza than rice and if you use green cabbage the result is nicer.

Life / What do Polish people talk about? [56]


You're mixing sausage and sausages.


It wasn't and you know it.

You're just trying to get a reaction. Like the shut-in Novichok but his stuff is a weak attempt at exorcising his demons by being vile whereas yours is just a Polish attempt at humour.

Have you tried Lincolnshire sausages?

Salt and vinegar crisps? The only flavour I'd buy.

Delicious. I see them more and more in Warsaw.

UK, Ireland / What English food would you serve a Pole? [172]


Population figures and soil/land quality did that.

I remember someone saying something similar once. It was ironic since at the time, the PM was To y Blair from Edinburgh, the leader of the opposition was Cameron, a highland name and the leader of the LibDems was Menzies-Campbell from Glasgow.

You'd either love or hate Lorne saudage (square from Scotland). I quite like it but wouldn't eat it all the time.

UK, Ireland / What English food would you serve a Pole? [172]


That's a Scottish breakfast. With tattie scones and flying tirds.

It's a tradition; they have to do it at least weekly or their sporran departs.

Have you read the book? Much better than the film.

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [1070]

Fortunately we don't have guns in Poland so you are unlikely to be shot for trolling should you return home.

Unfortunately.

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [1070]

So what. People can phrase things however they like and you have no say in it.

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [1070]

His English is fine.

This isn't a test and both "that" and the passive voice are acceptable.

Stop trolling.

It doesn't need to if we choose not to.


As you do.

Now why don't you just fúck off while other people talk.

UK, Ireland / What English food would you serve a Pole? [172]


Nor me however the mushrooms generally work nicely.


Same. My breakfast is a pint of strong coffee and a couple of cigs.

But an English breakfast is nice if you're in a hotel. Eating it every day would only work if you're doing heavy labour and need the calories.

UK, Ireland / What English food would you serve a Pole? [172]


Not that polite and happy to have second and third helpings of something they like.

Incidentally, more and more shops are selling cheddar in Warsaw. It used to be hard to find.

UK, Ireland / What English food would you serve a Pole? [172]


They aren't too hard to make. You need a light touch though; the thinner the pastry the better.


I've never met one who didn't enjoy the real thing. Unfortunately, some of the cheeses sold as cheddar in PL are not the real thing.

Life / What do Polish people talk about? [56]

We're actually talking about Poland and Poles. Not stuff you've read online.

Nonsense too. You've never been there.

Life / What do Polish people talk about? [56]


We do the same only not as much. Even in England which is not huge, there's a disconnect between north and south.

House prices are a big topic in Britain, that and football.


I've noticed that too.

Life / What do Polish people talk about? [56]

Interesting things.

Gardens can of course be a good topic if both parties are interested.
