Food / Regional products from Poland with EU certificates and without [18]

no one is strong enough to drink 70%

I drank it at 17 and survived. :):):) It happened in a village. I was visiting my rural classmate during winter holidays and we went to a local wedding party to watch from behind the fence. Other watchers brought moonshine spirit but didn`t have enough water to dilute it so we drank really strong stuff. I couldn`t refuse coz I was the only city guy among them and they watched me carefully.

Now a riddle: how were the watchers who came to sb`s property to observe the wedding party called in rural Poland????

Feedback / I love this forum - It's so Polish: tolerant, inconsistent, amusing [325]

Our valuable member KaniaGefreiter is temporarily absent due to personal issues.
We have a deal that when he is gone, I take over and continue his stuff.

Tell me what you would like to read by me as if it was by Kania. I will take maximum effort to satisfy your Great Expectations.

PS. Do not expect me to bond with our forum imperial Russians, though.

Either do something the best it could be or not at all.

Exactly!!! That`s my life motto, too.
However, it costs me a lot of stress and nerves coz I don`t usually know if what I do is the best I can attain. :):):)

I hope you are stronger mentally in this matter. :):):)

News / Polish PM Tusk- dictator or not? What Poles think? [455]

On condition Europe finally grows up and believes in its own strength.

This means the following, after skipping The Genius`s elegance: European losers and madafakers, look at Poland who is going to spend 5% GNP on military needs in 2025 and follow her noble example.

You are not quite as smart

Hey, a few weeks ago you ranked Atch as one of the most intelligent and noblest posters in the forum. Why are you such a dick on the roof now???

good advertising slogan

Similar to Abandon hope all ye who enter here :):):)

However, those slivovitz producers invented their own rhymed slogan visible on the bottle:

Strength and beauty is what you get from our slivovitz from Łącko.

Their plum vodka is 70% strong so it indeed gives strength. :):):)

EU certificates and without

Next regional product which gained amasing fame in Poland and the world is śliwowica łącka aka slivovitz from the borough of Łącko in southern Poland. It hasn`t received the EU certificate coz according to the Polish law, it is illegal moonshine!!! However, to keep up the tradition, local authorities close an eye and the production isn`t banned.
This is Poland, guys and guyesses - a country where a standard logical approach to understand things is useless. :):):):

Life / Wish to settle down, which country to choose - Poland or Russia? [126]

Choose Poland

onet.pl/biznes/businessinsider/tego-wczesniej-nie-bylo-przebilismy-rosje-i-chiny-w-ich-glownych-atutach/s4z81p3,211f4564
We already have a developed production potential in the country, which sends processed goods abroad, notraw materials. Exports of goods from Poland amounted to USD 362 billion last year, and together with exports of services, this gives USD 471 billion - according to data from the National Bank of Poland. This is over USD 5 billion more than Russia .
After all, Russia has a human potential four times higher than Poland, we have no oil or gas to export, so Russia should have an overwhelming advantage. None of that. With all these differences, we still beat them.

Recently Ukrainian Pres delivered one of his regular speeches in an unusual T-shirt. Direct copy from Lech Wałęsa!!!!
Imperial Russians jumped high and hit the ceiling, calling Zelensky a twat.

I want to post sth about Mr Honourable Prime Minister Reverend Donald Holy Tusk

Me, too!!!

Mr Honourable Prime Minister Reverend Donald Holy Tusk has just commented on US election:

Holy words from the Genius:
Harris or Trump? Some claim that the future of Europe depends on the American elections, while it depends first and foremost on us. On condition Europe finally grows up and believes in its own strength. Whatever the outcome, the era of geopolitical outsourcing is over.

Check now.

Wow!!! Amasing!!! It also works on my other searches.
I have been waiting for this improvement for years. Thanks.

I reported it to the Staff a few years ago but it probably went unnoticed by a regular mod/modess. Now added link to the last post (marked as: >>) too.

You can use "My Threads" link

:):):)
I meant mostly threads started by other members.

or "View All Posts / Threads"

:):):)
The list it offers is even longer than Search does. Looking through it would take hours daily.

It is possible we don`t understand each other.
Let me tell you exactly what my problem is. Right now I want to post sth about Mr Honourable Prime Minister Reverend Donald Holy Tusk in the thread Tusk Dictator (which isn`t my thread). I type Tusk in search and get 8 results of which my desired thread is the last one while it is obvious and logical it should be the first coz it contains the newest posts.

This search was easy cos it gave only 8 results. Sometimes there are more tiring ones which offer 3 pages of results and the thread with newest posts I am looking for is usually at the end of page 2.

Can`t you arrange search results according to date of the last post instead of other criteria which are too obscure to me right now???

If not, what else do you suggest I do to quicken the search process??? Check now.

completely different in taste.

Quite possible.

The best obwarzaneks are the fresh ones straight from the oven - then they are the crispiest. While the ones who stay too long in that cart become too rubbery from the moisture in the air.
I must say it is a very fulfilling dish - it saved me from starving a few times in my life. Besides, it offers a good opportunity to engage your hands and mind and forget about stress while walking in streets.

my youth in Katowice.

I suppose all southern Poland is covered by the influence of obwarzanek. I also found the name in Wiech Wiechecki`s court stories from Warsaw published before WW2. But those warsawian ones must have been different than krakowian.

donate

That`s true. I am still thinking how to do it from Poland. I don`t have a credit card so I have to send a direct transfer from my account.
I need the receiver`s name, address and bank account.

complains the most.

Of course that`s a rightist lie. Ha!!!

the discussion will appear on top of the main page.

Yes, it works.
I think I might use it instead of faulty Search function which doesn`t show the threads with latest dates but offers a complete chaos and I need to run through 3 pages of search results to find a thread I posted in 2 months ago coz it is usually at the end of the list instead of at the beginning. You can use "My Threads" link or "View All Posts / Threads" feature to easily find your posts or threads. The general search is not specifically designed for that.

It was clearly stated that it was a part of the rocket

Why is it important to establish if it was a part or whole rocket??? Coz I don`t understand the objective of this exchange.

Ironside, thank you for giving me this idea for a thread with your mention of obwarzanek krakowski which is close to bagel. It is
It is a braided ring-shaped bread that is boiled and sprinkled with salt and sesame or poppy seeds before being baked. It has a white, sweetish, moist and chewy crumb underneath a crunchy golden-brown crust.

It is sold in streets from special carts.

Read more on it:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obwarzanek_krakowski

In 2006, the "obwarzanek krakowski" was entered on the List of traditional products from the Lesser Poland province in the category of bakery and confectionery products, and in 2010 on the list of protected products of the European Union.

My fave style is salt one. As a child, I found those big grains of rock salt attached to obwarzanek utterly fascinating.

I hated poppy seed ones. Yuk!

History / Historic Photos about Poland with Context [31]

Lech Wałęsa announces

Here, Lech Wałęsa speaks to the Congress after the collapse of communism in Poland in 1989. He started his speech with My, Naród, translated as We, the People.
Though I prefer We, the Nation coz that`s what he really said in Polish. He meant the Polish nation who abolished the abominable system against all odds.
