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

no,no,no, this is disgusting! pawian

Yes, it is. I cooked and ate it for you because I love sharing with others. :):):)

now i feel sick....

You can`t imagine how I feel now..... :):):)

ty masz dlugi dlugi ogon i rogi tez!!!:) :)

Yes! A long tail! How did you know? :):):)

As you were told yesterday, please read rule#1 before your next post. Thanks

Come on, this is Polish, not Belarussian forum. :):):) Must is in Russ. In Poland - As You Like It.*

* Pam intended to imply that all that people need to live together in harmony is "good sense, love, humor, and a generous disposition." Her usage of Polish is deeper than the surface, and that is part of its appeal to every kind of person.

i made steak and kidney (nerga?) pie

I bought kidneys with that brain, too.

I checked the nutritious value of tripes: They contain less fat than chicken!

tabele-kaloryczne.pl/flaki,p-101.html

Flaki Calories 84 Protein 16 Fat 2.2 Carboh. 0

tabele-kaloryczne.pl/mozg-wieprzowy,p-104.html

Strange, but brain isn`t so fatty despite its appearance:

Mózg wieprzowy 135 10.8 10.3 0

I am just having brain toasts. I said crispy is a must!

When in US, I once bought two pig ears for a nice tasty bite. I tried to fry them crisp but the result was disastrous - as tough as soles.

Funny, but I have never come across pig ears in Poland. Must be typical American stuff.

Yes, I have eaten half of it, and the leftovers are waiting for work Saturday. I took pics too, so one day you will see what it looks like. Nothing special - like scrambled eggs with spices and mushrooms.

jestes pewien ze robilesz scrambled brains?

Yes! Scrambled brain with two eggs, mushrooms, onion, a lot of spices, all fried. I love fried stuff, you know. I eat anything on condition it is crispy. Unluckily, this brain wasn`t. It was too fatty, resembled scrambled eggs.

all i can say is i dont fancy dinner at yours...:)

Pawian, I'd be grateful if you posted your favourite bakery foods here.

Do you mean bread or pastry too?

As for bread, my favourite which I buy in Carefour is Oskroba soya bean brown bread: it costs only 2.75 zlotys (matters to me as I am as frugal as a Scotsman from Krakow) per 1 pound and tastes and smells very rich.

Poland bread

BTW, I am not scared by GM soya beans threat at all.

That is pathetic.

Those Ziobro guys left PiS and created their own faction/club, hoping to be a better, more reasonable right wing party in order to win next elections.

I am afraid with such stupid rhetorics they are going to remain another clone of manic PiS, with disastrous ballot results.

One thing is for sure- they are veritable PiS guys. Incorrigible.

It was really hot in the Sejm today. MPs debated whether Foreign Minister should be fired for his German allegiance. The events were so dynamic that I barely comprehend what happened:

PiS member accuses FM of betraying Poland and voting for second Yalta:

Giant brawl provoked by PO member who suggested that one PiS female member is retarded:

Palikot said to PiS members: I prefer being a European with the French and Germans as compatriots, than you, Polish nationalists.

PiS members put on little flags on their jackets, Palikot guys displayed UN flags:

Tusk said that PiS had supported bandits who attacked the police during 11 November riots.

he didn't exactly said that.

Yes, he did.

He said that the most damage was done to the Police force by kibole (or people wearing kibole scarfs to be exact).

Yes, and then went on saying that Kaczyński and PiS had avidly supported the hoolligans recently.

What is wrong with your sources? They cut off power to your house in the middle of the debate? :):):):)

And then he went on saying that PiS`s support for right wing youth who "deal with" the Polish left inspires horror.

Kaczynski took it out of context.

No, he didn`t.

BTW, who do you mean? :):):):)

During the parliamentary debate, Tusk said that PiS had supported bandits who attacked the police during 11 November riots. PiS members left the room in protest and the Saviour threatened to take him to court for that.

If the Prime Minister gets up the courage to speak to me outside the Sejm this groove him two processes - Civil and Criminal , announced after the occurrence of the Sejm head of government, the president of the Law and Justice . Jaroslaw Kaczynski referred to the words of Donald Tusk , allegedly had a relationship with the people who were fighting with the police on November 11 in Warsaw. - This is an outright lie - said the leader of the PiS. When the Prime Minister said this from the parliamentary rostrum of the PiS deputies in protest left the meeting room .

- I call Donald Tusk to ensure that what is said about the support I those who were fighting with the police on November 11 , said the parliamentary rostrum not - because then it is hidden for full immunity material - only in other circumstances.

"Donald Tusk is responsible for the Friday riots" - says Jarosław Kaczyński.

In the Polish section of PF I once said that the only asset of the Saviour could be his patriotism if it wasn`t played in such an idiotic way. Just like today.

The Saviour said that Germans beat Poles who carried national symbols and it was unbelievable that Tusk allowed it.

when they burst into laughter after he had used the phrase: A blow below the belt in his speech.

Palikot defends his party colleague and claims that Polish homophobia may eliminate us from the EU.

If the Union knew that Poland has the face of homophobia , Stefan Niesiołowski , Julia Pitera , we would not be in the European Union - rated in " Kropka over and " Janusz Palikot . According to him , the behavior of MPs in relation to Robert Biedroń is " embarrassing " .

In the " Kropka over and " Palikot Members commented reaction to the speech Mr Robert Biedroń that has been stamped out laughing. Biedroń , during the presentation of candidatures by Wanda Nowicka on the Deputy Speaker of Parliament , said that the attacks against it are " a blow below the belt " . Hall burst out laughing , which Biedroń took as a reference to his sexual orientation.

Gay MP publicly accused other MPs of the lack of tolerance for sexual minorities when they burst into laughter after he had used the phrase: A blow below the belt in his speech. He said their scandalous reaction was the effect of the lack of sexual education. MPs continued laughing but he didn`t give in. Good for him.

See at 1:00.



Interviewed later on Biedroń explained he felt astonished and disgusted.

If anyone else would say , it's probably the croaking anyway. It was an unpleasant experience for me - he said " Kropka over and " Robert Biedroń , commenting on Tuesday's reaction deputies during his speech before the vote on the candidacy of Wanda Nowicka Deputy Speaker of Parliament . - I was going to abstain , but I admit that the occurrence of Mr. Biedroń meant that even voted against - explained in turn, Ms Julia Pitera PO .

Sex might sound ambigous here. I would say: gender. :):):)

Yes, we can expect more that kind of stuff from him. :):):)

Circus, circus.........

PS. Wanda Nowicka, Palikot`s candidate to the post of deputy marshall, was turned down in the ballot. Amazing, but PO and PiS politicians are unanimous about it: she is too controvercial. E.g., she is believed to have said that Polish officers murdered in Katyn were losers.

Post of Mrs Nowicka , or its immediate surroundings , from her house , which she could not comment about " darmozjadach of Katyn " were so outrageous that the result of the vote was predictable - said on TVN24 Deputy Parliament Speaker (PO) commenting on the first vote on the nomination of Ms " Palikot Movement " to the position of Deputy Speaker . He agreed with the Law and Justice deputy , who found that the person acting as the Speaker should be the least controversial.

Monika Olejnik is controversial to say the least, wouldn't you say?

No, I wouldn`t. She seems aggressive and prying to us, but that what modern journalism is about. For American standards, she is a sweet angel, so don`t complain because she could be much much worse. And she has always been like that - I remember her from 1980s when she worked in my fav radio station.

See her in a socialist bottle bank:

how is palikots movement first days in parlament? ?What bills do they plan to introduce?

Funny but Palikot has been overshadowed by turbulences in PiS. Today a faction of 17 MPs have created a new club in the parliament. They are henchmen/supporters of Ziobro who was thrown out of the party a few days ago.

Anyone predicted a split up in PiS? :):):)

Boletus, thanks for that article. It is the first time I have read (tried to, at least) right wing Gazeta Polska. Oh, my dear God! Who is the recipient of that heap of crap? ????? A primary school graduate? Have they ever thought there might be some intelligent guys in Poland?

Sorry, I couldn`t read it to the end.

It turned out that that alliance is not durable at all. "Leaders of the football fan movement did not fight strongly enough to influence political choices of their sympathizers - the guys from the residential housing."
:-)

Yes, :-) :-) :-) :-) :-).

Did you notice an apology on their site? The court ruling forced them to apologise to TVN station for publishing false info.
