Sorry, no. The pip means that seed inside fruit. You say so when. e.g., you are going to somehow take part in an approaching situation.

I told you I have a sweet tooth! As far as I remember, we ran out of my fav honey mustard then, so I used the pineapple because that sweet dark beer wasn`t enough. What, do you expect me to have sprinkled that sausage with sugar? :):):)


Yes, I sometimes have crazy tastes,. Whenever my poor wife saw such stuff, she used to go out of the kitchen. :):) Now she is accustomed.

Guys, the truth is simple - pineapple was to counterbalance that unhealthy piece of meat. :):)

I guess you mean he was a secretary in Lech Kaczyński`s office and was expected to fly with his boss but resigned in the last moment.

Then it means that mostly PiS guys should be put in prison because it was mainly them who organised that flight and pressed on landing at any cost in exceptionally difficult weather.

Yes, it is because they always add vinegar or citric acid to mustard. Any mustard.

Yes, I know, but I can`t resist, it is so tasty. :):)


I use it on home-made hot dogs. My sweet doggies... :)

Süßer Senf. Sweet mustard. Probably equally delicious. :)

To tell the truth, I prefer Polish mustard made locally in Krakow, they add honey to it. Having a sweet tooth, I sometimes relish it solo with a teaspoon when my kids and wife have finished off all chocolates, sweets and Nutella at home. :):)

Here is another crypto advertisement of a good product:

I just checked - Russian type has 3 chillis sign on the label and is made from black mustard seeds - without exotic additives.

Really? I thought Russian mustard is the strongest of all. It has 2 or 3 chilli symbols on the label, while the English mustard has only one.

Life / Owning a house in true countryside of Poland - stories [692]

Don`t worry, I was joking. When we caught one (it broke through the fence around the house), we only played with it a little and let it go. :)

Recent days have been really busy. I already sowed root chicory, red and white radish, lettuce, spinache, yellow turnip, dill. Today I sowed fava beans. In May, with the risk of frost gone, I am going to sow corn, cucumber, pumpkin, assorted coloured radish, basil, marjoram, black radish (called black turnip) and to plant pepper, zucchini and more tomatoes. I am also growing seedlings of artichoke on the window sill. I am still not sure about melons and watermelons - last year`s were quite big and healthy but unsweet - I treated it as an experiment in the Polish climate - at least we could boast of growing melons to our family and friends. :)

This produce of ours is small, ugly and deformed. Better looking one is rejected by shops and sales people. But at least it is free of all toxic stuff- I don`t use any chemicals in the field. What satisfaction! :)

Yes, as the old saying goes, even the dog refused to eat it. Or, a quote from Bareja film - Are you crazy? Stop feeding it to the dog, do you want to poison her? :):)

I think everybody has had such an experience in their life.

You suggest he was so cynical, despite the fact it concerned his twin brother?

After the crash some PiS guys decided to progress their careers with the help of Smoleńsk lie. Kaczyński believed them for many years but it seems he has finally seen through their trickstery and decided to give up.

Do you suggest you know of some usual jar stuff which is better than home made one? :):)


Thanks for the idea, I must try it out.


Both are good to eat hot, but chilli heat remains long in the mouth while horseradish quickly fades away


Is it by chance this producer? I have tried a few horseradish jar products and this one has been the tastiest, since 1970s I guess.

What do you think of fermented stuff? I like everything that tastes sour. E.g., one of my fav, fermented red beetroot juice is used to make traditional borsch soup or can be drunk solo. I have just had a morning glass of it. Some makers call it kvass.

Read about its beneficial influence.

articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2016/12/26/fermented-beets-benefits.aspx

See how to make it - put all the ingredients (celery, garlic, ginger, horseradish, herbs) into jars, pour on quality water and wait a few days.

  The choice of side ingredients is individual - I simply add the stuff that I like

  There are two schools for making borsch - sweet (fresh beetroot) or sour (fermented juice)

The cash is the priest`s expectancy but he serves as a metaphor, so the whole saying isn`t about cash but.......

According to Dead Poets` Society main hero, poetry has been created by males to woo females more effectively. It is natural those males didn`t have a lot of material resources to impress women with, so they resorted to poetry instead. No money, no romance, you say. I can`t agree - there are also romantic women who don`t care about money.

Yes, but the proverb refers to couples who have been married/partners for some time, while the poster seems to be willing to strike a new romance using the translated poem.

I don`t mind, as long as it is tasty. :)


Yes, cheap. Actually the cheapest of all. Lucky me because I can be so mean. :) Tasty - abundantly. It is one of few kinds of pork which, when boiled long enough, offers such soft meat that it virtually melts on your tongue.


Yes, we must mention it in What do Poles owe to Germans thread :) The transition took place during partitions, so you couldn`t have noticed it.

One bottle for two should be enough. If you are a hard drinker, let`s get two bottles.

Only one? Come on .... Life is too short to have one shot only :)

PS.
I came back home at 7 pm and ate a giant plate of paella, thick, with an extra portion of shrimp and mussels. After an hour, I started to feel hungry again. It just came to my mind that Polish food must be so fatty and full of calories - how would Poles survive those harsh winters in the past and today?

A Vatican delegate to Poland wrote in his diaries a few hundred years ago - They eat little veg in Poland, but each Pole eats as much meat as 5 Italians.. A Polish saying from the time - An Italian thrives on lettuce, a Pole loses weight with it.

Once I hated fat in my meals, today I thrive on it.

Golonka - pork knuckles - one of the fattiest ingredients/dishes.

This two-pound piece of golonka is enough to feel full for a few days, not just hours. :):
