Life / Custom plates in Poland [76]

the purists among you will kill me for writing Bachata as B4 CHA74.

No, I won`t kill you coz I am a humane ape. :):):) I will simply not understand it. Probably I am too old for such inventions. :(:(:(:(

you won't like B4 LL37 (ballet)

I won`t understand it either.

But don`t bother about my opinion. Younger generations will surely find common ground with your ideas. In Polish, we say: find common language.
Good luck for you innovative plates! :):):)

Food / Name of this particular Polish sausage [19]

Poles/Polesses are extremely fond of their Polish sausage which is unique in the world.
In communist times, troubled with shortages, sausages were sometimes stolen from public diners.
See below what incredible commotion it always caused. People felt infuriated being deprived of their fave staple.
With Eng subs:

History / What do Poles owe to Germans? [451]

continued coz I didn`t want to make my previous post too long:

Marko Martin emphasized that in the autumn of 1989, only a few citizens of the GDR decided to oppose the communist authorities. "Millions of citizens did not take to the streets at that time, but waited in their apartments behind drawn curtains for further developments," he said.

He recalled the anti-Polish sentiments prevailing in the GDR after the establishment of Solidarity in the 1980s. Wide circles of East German society asked why Poles "instead of working, go on strike, demand freedom and get on our nerves". - Similar attitudes were also present in West Germany - noted the speaker, recalling that influential SPD politician Egon Bahr called Solidarity "a threat to world peace" in 1982.


BB, I will comment on your post later on coz I don`t want to make mine too long. The Staff don`t like it.

Food / Healthy polish food? [134]

especially in low income households

BS. Income has nothing to do with it. Polish sausage and potatoes are simply fave food for Poles/Polesses regardless they are poor or rich. I like them too and eat regularly coz they offer good nourishment for a few hours. I have shown many pics of my potato and fried sausage dishes.

Instead of providing such dubious "expertise" on Polish cooking traditions, why don`t you stick to your Irish ones???

History / What do Poles owe to Germans? [451]

Decent Germans still remember and highly praise the anticommunist Solidarity rebellion in Poland which greatly contributed to tearing down the Berlin Wall.
onet.pl/informacje/onetwiadomosci/spiecie-z-udzialem-prezydenta-niemiec-z-polska-w-tle-doszlo-do-ostrej-polemiki/zt7l8zp,79cfc278

The German writer Marko Martin publicly, in the presence of Polish Solidarity activists, reprimanded German President Frank Walter Steinmeier for maintaining close relations with Putin's Russia during a speech at the presidential residence on the occasion of the 35th anniversary of the "peaceful revolution" in the GDR, which led to the fall of communist rule and the reunification of Germany, on 9 November.

The writer, who fled the GDR for the West in May 1989, began his speech by greeting the Polish Solidarity activists who participated in the ceremony, including Bogdan Borusewicz. "Without their courage, the events of 1989 would not have happened," the writer said.

News / Presidential elections 2025 - the race has commenced!!! [116]

Oops, sth`s definitely wrong with me. I completely forgot I had started this thread. I searched for an old thread concerning any Polish elections to ask Alien to start a new thread about 2025 ones. And got this one. Amasing!

Rightist PiS are still looking for the best candidate. He should be "handsome, tall, impressive and should know 2 foreign languages." Their short list undergoes constant changes.
Why he and not her??
PiS leader said a woman would be a bad choice for the Pres position in such troubled times.

You should never, ever make jokes

Who made such a joke?? You see things which don`t exist.... :):):)

A huge pot of spuds, a few boiled sausages

BS. You are talking about things you haven`t seen in reality. When potatoes are mashed, it means they were boiled. So the sausage served to them is always fried with onion, not boiled, to keep the balance in nature.

Food / Polish cookbook - down to earth hearty Polish cuisine [18]

Polish cuisine before WW2 was different than today. It relied mostly on local products instead of foreign ones and took bigger advantage of wild nature.

niepodlegla.gov.pl/o-niepodleglej/kuchnia-ii-rp-dwudziestolecie-na-talerzach/

According to statistics, the average resident of Poland in 1929 ate over 18 kg of meat per year, and today it is an average of about 60 kg. The proportions of this consumption were also different. First of all, more beef, veal and lamb were eaten . Pork, for years considered an inferior and less tasty type of meat, appeared on the tables less often. In addition to the poultry species known to us, exquisite capons and poulards (castrated and specially fattened chickens whose meat had a unique, delicate taste) were also prepared, as well as pigeons, guinea fowl and even peacocks. Rabbits, hares, game and wild birds were also eaten more often - ducks, geese, pheasants and partridges, as well as black grouse, wood grouse and... waxwings.

News / Ups and downs of the democratic government 2023-2027 in Poland [342]

The prospects for the current democratic gov are bright after a year of its rule. Its main part enjoys the biggest support of all. Amasing!!!!

CBOS conducted a study of Poles' party preferences. The results are not optimistic for the main opposition force. Jarosław Kaczyński's party is losing support. According to the survey, 25 percent of respondents would vote for PiS . In turn, for the co-ruling Civic Coalition - 34 percent. Compared to the October poll, KO gained and PiS lost . Kaczyński's party had 29 percent support at that time, and Prime Minister Tusk's coalition 33 percent. The difference increased from four percentage points to nine.

News / Sikorski doctrine - Eastern Europe under threat. Poland's foreign policy. [171]

Sikorski to be nominated as a candidate.Tusk announced internal ballot

Support for Mr Sikorski from his party members:

"I have known him for years. He never gives up. He fights for Poland's interests in Washington, Berlin and Kiev. He is well received in Wilanów and Końskie. A candidate for a tough campaign. A president for tough times," writes Marcin Bosacki.
