Food / The name of a Polish pastry? Chrust? [60]

Pasticziki - like eggrolls but with cabbage and mushrooms in them?

Food / The name of a Polish pastry? Chrust? [60]

Yes - Paszteciki probably (thanks for the spelling correction) Some recipes do have finely minced hard-boiled egg and most have minced mushroom but usually a dried mushroom which would be hard to distinquish from the minced meat. They are great! I wish I had a good recipe

USA, Canada / What kind of American food do Poles like most? [80]

My brother in law stayed with us recently and one day I made pork chops that were just pan fried with onions and herbs and he said that he had never had them that way as mostly in Poland they bread and fry the "schabowy". How about mashed potates made with cream and butter - mostly in Poland the potatoes are just potatoes or maybe au gratin potatoes - if you live in a larger city you may be able to get some kind of "yellow" cheese but unfortunately it probably won't be cheddar. Also, a normal American salad - lettuce, tomatoes, cukes, etc with a homemade ranch dressing would be popular. Or some kind of chicken that's not fried - maybe marinated and grilled or broiled chicken.

What about a sampling of maybe something tex mex - chili, garlic bread (no where to be found in Poland - guaranteed ) maybe no exactly AMerican but we eat a lot of it. What about some kind of casserole - Poles do not do casseroles so that might go over good.

Yes and pumpkin - my husbands relatives find it very interesting that we eat pumpkin!

Brownies would be good. How about Chocolate chip cookies? Can't get much more American than that!

My husband's family members would not like gumbo in the least. But rotisseri chicken is great. But they have that in Poland.


Have you ever thought that it might be from the melon on your head?

What about nachos? I think that we eat enough of them to be considered from the US.

Food / Pierogi recipe and filling from my grandmother [179]

Does anyone know if in Poland they mix the farmers cheese with potatoes for Ruskie or potato pierogi as they don't have cheddar or Velveta there? Also, who uses an egg in their potato filling and who doesn't?

Thanks

Hi,

You might want to try a Pennsylvania Dutch cookbook. That is where I see most of the recipes for chow chow. They serve it in all the restaurants in the Lancaster area.

Travel / Why does everyone seem to hate LOT Polish Airlines? [380]

I wonder if the people complaining are Americans or Poles? Most of the Poles I know won't fly another airline and the Americans hate Lot - food sucks, RUDE, RUDE RUDE. They operate on a "need to know" basis and as a passenger, you don't need to know anything!

Travel / Why does everyone seem to hate LOT Polish Airlines? [380]

Actually the worst airline that we ever flew on was Southwest.

Food / What is your favorite Polish Vodka? [653]

The very best vodka was my late father-in-laws homemade potato vodka - wow was it ever smooth!

Food / What is your favorite Polish Vodka? [653]


Oh yes, it was my initiation to vodka. Unfortunately I never got the chance to see how he made it and both my in-laws have passed away so unfortunately their recipe went with them.

Ohhh, mixing good vodka is a mortal sin! Straight and cold. Save the mixing for Jacquins or Smirnoff

My Mom made it all the time too but she didn't use apples or raisins, she used prunes. I don't have the recipe though. It's called "czarnina".

Language / NAMES POLES GIVE THEIR DOGS [76]


The first dog I had with my husband we named Tara - after what was for me a real education into the art of naming a dog in Polish. It was a "she" and she was mostly black but we couldn't name "her" blackie, midnight, smoke, or any of the other names that people might name a black dog - oh no because it was a "she", it had to have a vowel at the end of it's name! We finally decided on Tara as "tar" is black and it ends in an "A" - Hurrah! Our new dog, which I actually went to Poland to get is named "Bella". That's her pic when she was just a pup.

Food / What exactly is Polish Bread? [90]

Actually Polish rye isn't very difficult to make, there are great recipes in both "Secrets of a Jewish Baker" by George Greenstein and "Local Breads" by Daniel Leader.

Food / What exactly is Polish Bread? [90]

Yes, rye bread is very popular in Poland and for rye to raise, it needs to have yeast as it doesn't form gluten (the stuff that raises bread) very easily. You might try some kind of sourdough bread but many sourdoughs are "kick started" with a small amount of yeast.

Life / Old Polish (Russian) Films [9]

Pawian,

That is so totally awesome! My husband has looked for this movie for the 20 years that he has been here. I see that this is the original in Russian. Do you know if the version which was dubbed in Polish is available? Also, can this be put on a DVD somehow or does it have to be watched on a computer (may be silly questions to you but we're still technically challenged.

BTW, my husband is a violin player :)

Again, bardzo dzienkuje.

Tamara

Pawian,

My husband also said it might have been called "Pożegnanie Ojczyzny"? Is maybe the version in Polish?
