Food / What Polish foods do foreigners generally not take to? [140]
Nice point.
Correct.
I love Bigos and as someone who was brought up on Polish Cuisine and also someone who has family and friends in Alsace and have visited both Alsace and Poland many times I feel qualified to comment on this.
Both Poland and Alsace have historically been very influenced by German culture and cuisine.
If Poles go to Germany or Alsace they will enjoy the similar cuisine and vice versa.
Another thing that Germany, Poland and Alsace share is a historicaly large Jewish population.
It is possible that Jews cooked this dish,or something similar on a Friday,so that they only had to heat it up at the weekend, to avoid cooking on Saturdays.
My family always added cabbage to the sauerkraut to make Bigos.They don't do that in in Alsatian Choucroute but the meat added to it is very similar to Bigos.Mainly pork, ham like Boczek and sausages similar to German and Polish ones.There is another Alsatian dish called Baekeoffe which is similar too.
My mum and aunts never added tomatoes to Bigos and the first time I tasted a tomato infused Bigos was when I was about 30 years old, at a Polish festival, and I loved it!Whenever I cook a Bigos I always add tomatoes now.
I always think that Choucroute is a nicer version of bigos.
Nice point.
From Alsace.

Which is just another way of showing how over dependant Poland is on Brussels..... they broke free from control by three foreign states only to willingly be controlled by a European superstate. Call that freedom? I don't.
The hope is that Tusk will mend relations with Brussels, unlocking 37 billion euro in EU aid that was blocked

The problems in Dublin were caused by the similar experiences of other European countries.They have all suddenly realised that Shengen was a bad idea and that all countries need to be able to control their borders more efficiently.
For that reason alone, more and more European countries are electing more right wing anti EU parties as The Netherlands has just shown us.
Unfortunately, according to the polls, the UK, as usual, is probably going to go the other way.... we always seem to vote against the rising tide.....
But the EU is falling apart at the seams.

An interesting response to my original one and a warming one.
I posted this after hearing a broadcast from Radio Poland about November 11th and focusing on young Poles attitudes to it.
They claimed that young Poles were less patriotic and felt less Polish than their elders.
They came out with some stats to "prove" this and some interviews with young Poles.One of whom said she felt more European than Polish.
Is Polish media being overtaken by leftist propaganda as in the USA and UK?
This has not been my experience at all!
The young Poles I have spoken to in England are EXTREMELY patriotic.
@mafketis
My last visit to Poland was only a few years ago and most young Poles seemed pretty patriotic to me.
But not all of them........
I would conclude, that for some reason, young Poles in England are much more patriotic than young Poles in Poland.
You can debate amongst yourselves as to why that may be.
Interesting to me is the fact that the great "patriot" Pawian has not posted in this thread.......is he afraid of being labeled a "patriot"?

I am just curious.It is an important date for many people, but I would have thought more so for Poles.Yet I get the feeling that younger Poles don't feel it so much,in fact I would go as far to say that many young Poles don't regard themselves so much as Poles but more as Europeans.I have no opinion on this but I do worry that some younger Poles are becoming less patriotic.
What do you think?
