Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1450]

(partidge, guinea fowl, pigeon, maybe others...)

I've not eaten guinea fowl and dislike duck (every other bloody day in Iraq. That and courgettes and squash boiled to a mush) but like grouse. Gamier and in season now.

Generally I avoid chicken like the plague, due to having grown up opposite 9,000 Marks and Spencer broilers and disliking how they were treated. Frozen chicken breasts are £8 at Iceland in the UK. At that price, something's got to give and it's not the farmers' personal welfare. Even worse in Poland and the Middle East; factory farming conditions are cruel.

insurance plans, including Medicare

Nobody cares about weirdness like that in developed countries.

They will give you

"They"??

but when you ask them to give you free food or drink to save your life

So you do that often?

Goose is my favorite poultry

Probably mine too. Very greasy though. But big enough to stuff with apple stuffing at one end, and small potatoes at the other.

I've never figured out though why turkey meat (basically biomass) used to be more expensive than chicken. Though chicken's not much better.

Threads 'belong' to PF, not individual posters. However if anyone owned it, it would be Barney.

Here's an investment tip. Have you considered joining a Hundred Club. I'm in one and they can be profitable.

None of that was investment tips, was it?

He's given up making them because he's been rumbled. He knows sod all about investments.

A good job that nobody followed his advice or they'd be shítting in a wooden outhouse too.

So that's a no

You still can't say why you think the various covid vaccines aren't vaccines

You picked an argument, and as always you lost

You may as well apologise and weep.

Polio, MMR and

Those are words, and they're in some sort of order; just not a good one.

You still don't say why you think a vaccine isn't a vaccine.

It has just come out this month that the Covid injection is not categorized as a vaccine.

By whom? Which of the several vaccines.

UK, Ireland / English/British rudeness - what do Polish people think about it? [168]

commonplace in London in the 1950s

So no, not often.

Hard to know why you're so interested, or wg6 you think it's relevant to here.

Irish, Brits

Such an overlap on both sides.

Stop trying to provoke disagreement. Anyway, nationality issues come better from experts.

google it and educate

'Google' and 'educate' don't belong in the same sentence.

Your critical thinking skills are lacking as badly as those of Poloniusz/bieggger/shitnyabrits/many others. He stalks a private Facebook group for British people with his fake and now (wrongly) thinks I work in a place due to him seeing an advert I am looking for staff for one site.. He missed the other three adverts for other countries the month before.

And if your vaccine is "NOT a vaccine', what is it?

All that is singular

The article is tongue in cheek.

it still wouldn't reflect well on the police

Indeed it doesn't. I'm not sure how they recruit there.

IS NOT a vaccine

It is. I had mine and you had yours.

If you don't think it's a vaccine, what do you think it is?

Goddess bless the English for their education they brought to Ireland

They had it already.

Goddess

St Brigid?

She worked as a goddess before she switched contracts.

a level of incompetence.

Police be police. If anything, it shows bad driving and lucky escapes.

Yes, this one went viral.

He had been wanted from counties Cork to Cavan after racking up scores of speeding tickets and parking fines.

However, each time the serial offender was stopped he managed to evade justice by giving a different address.

But then his cover was blown.

It was discovered that the man every member of the Irish police's rank and file had been looking for - a Mr Prawo Jazdy

Life / News on driving in Poland [57]

Crikey. I can think of one undertaker's that's going to go bust. Or change its name. Mind you, it probably should anyway.

Polish media reported that a man was driving down a street on Friday in Stalowa Wola, a city in south-eastern Poland, when he saw a sheet on his car window. When the sheet slid down, he saw a body lying on the road. For a moment the driver feared that he had hit the person.

Local media published an image of the body lying on a white-striped pedestrian crossing, where it had tumbled out of the hearse.

Then let's talk about the number of single vehicle accidents in Poland where drivers on completely empty road

You probably know the name of the worst driver in Ireland...

Well, we are a country of cavalrymen. If you don't have balls and bravery of a winged hussar

Better to drive safely than have Sarmatian Fantasies.

Palestinians

The Gazans (and a fair few on the West Bank, and especially in 70 year old refugee camps) are in fact Egyptians if anything.

Identities in the region are complicated..

Lebanon. It used to be such a beautiful country

There was very good wine from the Bekaa Valley. One family made it and it wasn't cheap. I wonder if it's safe
