History / Poland must get back Lwow, Wilno and Brest back [345]

Thank you for reminding us how Polish conservative elites sold us to Russia and Poland ceased to exist coz they feared liberal ideas might damage their businesses.
Fortunately, today we are in the enlightened EU and though our conservatives are still strong, they are losing support steadily and irrevocably. Thanks to Polish women who started taking things in their hands at last instead of being passive as before.

Possible although she promoted a healthy life style

Ćwierczakiewiczowa had modern, for her times, views on issues such as hygiene, cleanliness and health. An additional value of realism and authenticity to her advice was the fact that she referred to the opinions of well-known and respected medical authorities from Warsaw (and not only). According to one of the researchers of Lucyna Ćwierczakiewiczowa's work, Izabela Wodzińska, by promoting a healthy diet, movement and gymnastics, Ćwierczakiewiczowa was far ahead of her times and became a precursor of the lifestyle that is prevalent today . She herself was very obese.

It must be sth else, then.


I know!!! She had just recalled the sad fate of Polish women trampled upon by sick males. Her life and career was unique and other women could only dream of achieving such a success in a patriarchal society.

Food / Polish Christmas Eve Dinner recipes [84]


Her suggestion for Christmas Eve dish was sweet almond soup:

Here`s the recipe:

to cook Christmas Eve almond soup you need: "a pound of sweet almonds, 10 bitter ones, scalded, peeled, chopped very finely, then drilled in a pot, sprinkling with water or milk so that they do not release the oil".

"Pour two quarts of boiled water into this mass. Mix and press through a napkin or a thick sieve, pound the pulp again, pour in a little of the same decoction and squeeze through a napkin again. Put in half a pound or even three quarters of fine sugar and mix."

"Separately, cook the rice loosely in milk or water, if the soup is to be for dry fasting, with sugar, cinnamon and seedless raisins; put it in a tureen and pour over the soup. This soup can be served hot or cold. Real almond soup, or orgeat soup, is always made only with water. Proportion for 6 to 8 people."

One day I will try it out!!!

Polo can only blame himself for submitting such unsubstantiated claims which, according to the old tradition of our exchanges, are all fake news or outright lies.
That`s how American Polonia operates. :(:(:(

Mrs Ćwierczakiewiczowa (hey, foreigners, pronounce it! hahahaha ) was a famous recipe collector, inventor and culinary writer in 19th century. Her cook books were more popular than patriotic literature at the time.
In 1883, she received a total of 84,000 rubles for publishing her books, which was almost three times the value of a large landed estate. Ćwierczakiewiczowa's high earnings became the subject of two feuilletons in Warsaw magazines (in " Kłosy " and " Tygodnik Ilustrowany "). In terms of circulation, Ćwierczakiewiczowa's books exceeded the editions of works by Adam Mickiewicz or Słowacki .
After 1870 she ran a salon at 3 Królewska Street , where she entertained guests with dishes she prepared.

History / What do Poles owe to Jews? [593]

Dr Zamenhof lived in 19th century and was the Polish Jew who invented Esperanto - the artificial language which was still used decades ago by a few million people all over the world.
Can you imagine that in the past Chinese readers got to know Polish literature through Esperanto???

Thank you doctor - you aimed at introducing a neutral language which nations might use to understand each other better thus avoiding wars and conflicts. How noble of you!

Travel / Poland wildlife and similar wild life where you live. [246]

For half a century, regulations protected wolves on our continent, now it will be possible to shoot them again. But for now - not in Poland. The European Commission has opened the door to wolf hunting, but the Polish government declares that it does not intend to use it for now. For now, the wolf remains a strictly protected animal in our country.
On December 4, by decision of the European Union, the wolf was moved from Annex II to Annex III, from a "strictly protected" species to a "protected" one, which means that it will be a game animal and can be shot.

It was Poland who enabled wolves colonise Central and Western Europe where the species had disappeared decades ago but revived again.

History / What do Poles owe to Hungarians? [275]

No, patriotic decent Poles Polesses think it is our moral and political duty to support Ukraine.

He once showed his friends a photo from Christmas Eve from years ago. Back in Poland. At a huge family table set as if for a wedding. A dozen or so people, many children, all laughing and happy.
They didn't want to believe that this is how the holidays are celebrated in Poland - says Adam. - They were most surprised when I told them about the twelve traditional Christmas Eve dishes. At our home, my mother always kept to this. And there had to be hay under the tablecloth. Dinner always started with borscht with dumplings. Homemade. My mother made them herself. None from the store. And then, of course, carp. I don't remember this dinner looking any different. Maybe the only thing that was different every year was the herring.

German holidays are also family-oriented, but they are not the same, he says.
- Christmas Eve itself is not celebrated as it is here - explains our interlocutor. - No one waits for the first star to sit down at the table. It is rather a more ceremonial dinner, and usually without religious symbols.

yes, coz you are a nationalist and such are harmful to Polish interests. Ukraine is our best ally against Russia which you love so much.


Exactly!!! hahaha buhahaha


Of course ours too. And I am telling you - Slovakia will be crushed if they start a brawl about borders.

A Polish expat in Germany compares two ways of celebrating Christmas

- You can feel the holiday atmosphere in Germany, but it's not the same as I remember from Poland - says Adam. - There's no such hectic preparations, cleaning, cooking.
Adam had been to German friends for the holidays a few times. But there was no Christmas wafer, no carols. Modest.
"Germans, at least where I live, in Schleswig Holstein, don't have any traditional Christmas Eve dishes," he says. "They basically eat whatever they feel like eating. If someone feels like having a Christmas Eve wurst, which is a hot sausage, why not? Lent is not generally observed. No one here goes from house to house with a wafer, there are no carol singers."

Slovaks better not try to play any dirty acts on Ukraine. If they do, Polish army allied with Ukrainians will crush them within hours. :):):

Food / Name of this particular Polish sausage [32]


It seems that other Poles/Polesses living in Germany share this view of yours.

Our interviewee from northern Germany complains the most about German food. After all these years, he still can't get used to it.

"It's just not good," he says. "Maybe I'm exaggerating, but nothing here tastes good to me. I once tried to make traditional bigos. My dad, when he was still alive, used to say that real bigos should consist of twenty-nine ingredients. That's how I remember it, and he cooked it deliciously. I didn't write down the recipe, though. I found it on the Internet. The taste wasn't the same, though. Polish bigos, made of Polish ingredients, is a real masterpiece compared to German bigos. Ours is delicious."
