Food / Poles have a more loving attitude to food than here in the UK [169]

the illogicallity in the photo

There is no 'illogicality' at all. The word was carefully chosen for reasons above that you probably failed to grasp or pretend to have failed to grasp.

And what in your booze-addled mind makes you think that a textbook for kiddywinks in Poland reflects attitudes to food?

the problem

It's not a problem at all, and I wondered long ago if that was what confused you.

You said it's for 6th graders, whatever that is. Can you think of a reason that a book for their level would use meals rather than dishes?

Are you familiar with the lexical corpus at different CEFR levels?

You ought to be...

And you still don't say why you think that it reflects the culinary attitudes of the nations that make up Britain.

Sometimes, non-natives should really not pretend to be teachers.

Rav is a Jewish name

Also short for Ravinder, a Sikh name, and Ravindra, a Hindu name.

Not that everyone Jewish or Sikh or Hindu is religious or follows dietary laws.

Plus there are sausages that are acceptable to any religion; Linda Macartney vegan are actually nicer than they sound.

You're still wrong.

It's actually quite sad that someone earning a salary of sorts as a schoolteacher can't understand why didactic materials choose certain words and phrases.

While it does

It does.

Think of context.

It isn`t normal English

Like using travel rather than go, it's a heuristic device for children.

You know less than you think. It's always a mistake for someone to try to correct a person who is not only right but also way above them.

Non-native teachers sometimes make that mistake.

where and visited don't match together.

It works. The question is: where did you visit last weekend?

Go is better than visited however the sentence isn't a problem. It is grammatically correct. And not especially awkward.

solution which jon couldn`t notice

Because it's not an error and certainly not 'cadual'...

You have a curious (casual?) understanding of the term "furious meltdown".

And there are no issues with t(e language in the photos.

You're repeating yourself.

Perhaps black coffee, a good sleep and a visit to an AA meeting may be worth your while.

And you've still not said what you mean by casual. A nebulous term if ever there was one.

Who would bother 'detecting' the undetectable?

There is one textual matter that a person from Poland might think is an inconsistency (though it in fact isn't) however there is nothing that gives any signs to four nations' attitude to food.

It doesn't work, you know. People are wise to your attempts at provocation.

And you still haven't made it clear what you mean by casual.

There isn't an idea, and there's nothing wrong in the photo.

And you still haven't said what you mean by 'casual'.

Your original post would make more sense if you were a bit clearer about what you're trying to say.

What do you mean by ''casual'?
