What's the beetle Pawian?

I am sorry, I don`t possess my book on beetles any more. During vacation, while perusing the book in the forest, I was attacked by a giant beetle, some unknown species. Them! scared me shitless so I ran away, leaving my book behind.

Sorry.

The situation looked like that.

Travel / Why do you visit Poland? [223]

I am not allowed to vote because I am here :)

Hey, nobody has set such rules... I have voted of course. My reasons to visit nothern Poland (I live in the south) are the same as Szymek`s - I can`t wait to see the Polish seaside. I have enough of the mountains.

The first sight of the sea after a long year is breathtaking. It feels like orgasm.
Then it is even better (provided the weather permits):

Food / Do Polish people really love cabbage ?? [78]

Slipped into oblivion???

see and look for this text:

A teraz przez Was moja kapusta nie rozumie, co do niej mówię, nooby!

Ok, ok, I think I can accept this slang meaning of kapusta if you insist.... :):):)

But, obviously, it isn`t too popular. Probably only in provincial areas....

I know the difference between cabbage and onions!

Are you sure of it? :):):)

:):) I get this attempt of a joke here. Children are found in cabbage which metaphorically means they are found in girls. That`s what you mean?

However, I may assure you that kapusta has never been used as a slang expression for a girl or girlfriend in Poland. Google "kapusta dziewczyna" and you will see zero results.

Sorry, someone has misinformed you.

But cabbage field is literal here. An old superstition, or rather a politically correct reply to the question where children come from, is that they are found by parents in cabbage or are brought by a stork.

So, kapusta still has nothing to do with girls, girlfriends, even in slangish meaning.

Neither have I.

Probably Z darius meant sth else.

But in other slangs "kapusta" means money.

Yes, that`s it.

I have been here for 3 months

hotdog has cabbage
hambuger has cabbage
kebab has cabbage

Hmm, are you sure you don`t mistake fried onion for cabbage??????

Food / Polish Pizza !! The best in the world? [330]

Have you made them at home ?

Yes.
Actually, the one above is the same pizza, before and after baking. It is quite easy because you can buy excellent pizza bases in Polish supermarkets.

Pizza isn't Polish national dish and it depends where you eat it :)

That`s true.
But during summer holidays we travel a lot around Poland and have pizza almost every day. I have not complained so far...

Popular cabbage dishes in Poland are:
1. Bigos (made from sauerkraut and fresh cabbage).
2. Kapuśniak soup
3. Pierogis stuffed with cabbage and mushrooms.
4. Gołąbki rolls
5. Boiled cabbage salad

And my favourite
4. Sauerkraut carrot salad, often served in our school canteen.

If I skipped some dish, correct me.

Food / What is your favorite Polish Vodka? [653]

Once I have enjoyed a visit by a relative of mine. He brought a bottle of Pan Tadeusz vodka. As much as I don`t like vodka (I prefer wine), his was quite agreeable to my taste buds. Strong but with a little sweet flavour.
