Food / Bigos Recipe [183]

1 lbs pork

What cut......Center loin-Tenderloin-Loin Chop-Rib chop-cutlet?

Sorry to be so specific but there are different flavors in these cuts. Which is the one commonly use in PL for bigos?

You need to relax. I cook a lot and know that different cuts of meat provide different flavors. I don't cook Polish food and was just wondering wht is usually used by the Polish to make it as authentic as possible.

So, you don't have to write a book with your un needed explanation since she had already answered my question. Who asked you anyway?

Annab- thank you very much. I hope it turns out well :)

By the way Lamb shank was recommended :)

I hope it turns out well :) If not I'll wait a few days. They say it tastes better when eaten as leftovers

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

If you're a drunkard you can drink it. I make homemade Miod Wodka :) And it's very drinkable. The problem is that it takes 8 mos to make.

Haha. Very true. In Poland they don't let me drive even the next day after drinking it. I love this old Polish recipe nothing beats it and luckily I have no problems finding 95% spirits here in the US. I can make it weak if requested...but Nah!

Cherry is ok but it's only 35%

Technically we don't need men any more. We can have babies via a sperm bank, we can look after ourselves emotionally, physically, materially.

Who will carry the baby and all of those groceries? Who will open those impossible caps? Who will lift things that are heavier than you?

We don't need you either :)

Scientists have created prototypes made out of cells extracted from women's bodies. Embryos successfully attached themselves to the walls of these laboratory wombs and began to grow. However, experiments had to be terminated after a few days to comply with in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) regulations.

'We hope to create complete artificial wombs using these techniques in a few years,' said Dr Hung-Ching Liu of Cornell University's Centre for Reproductive Medicine and Infertility. 'Women with damaged uteruses and wombs will be able to have babies for the first time.'

LOL. Well, I love women so this would be out of the question for me. Kinda scary to think about what this world is coming to.

Realistically...we need each other :) That' nature

spirytus is very good if you mix it half/half with water(boiled!) and add lemon juice and some honey

Yes. I have an old PL recipe for this. Except there is no lemon and it's aged. I use honey that I purchased outside Szczecin. Very tasty stuff.

Rafik- did they lower the alkohol content of Krupnik all over PL? When I was in south Pl it was changed to 38% but when in Poznan it was 40%. Here in the US it's 40% too. Do you know if it's been changed for good? I'm not sure if you drink it...just thought i'd ask.

HOT BEER IS JUST WRONG ON EVERY LEVEL

You can say that again. Even the thought of the warm last sip in a bottle makes me want to gag. It seems to be pretty popular there in the mountains. I was asking for a nice cold beer...even when it's freezing out it's refreshing to me.

Dangerous sport

I love danger :) I usually stay away from a-holes and head towards the trees and clifs.

Yes. I love Zoladkowa!! It was the first one that I tried in PL. I got a bit too drunk because it went down way too easily...and so did I....Gleba :) I've recently tried the mint flavored but didn't like it as much.

Has anyone heard of the homemade method of making Wisniowka? I believe its pitted Wisnia soaked in Spiritus and some other things....

Bump :) any takers?

i'd open a door for a lady if she'd blow me off, seems only fair.

Being blown off is when a woman or anyone for that matter, makes plans with you and doesn't show up.

So, in this situation you'd hold the door? Very kind of ya.

I think doors should be held for anyone. It's just being polite.

And don't try to act so cool. I doubt that you really let the door slam in the face of your co-workers or your family members.

Get some respect. Chivalry is not dead :)

think that most of the poles don't like flavoured vodka drinks

Nope. No one in PL that I know does either.

I have an extra bottle of spiritus and don't know what to do with it. I already have enough my special honey vodka. I'm sure I'll experiment with it and give it to my friends.

BEING POLISH AND A BIT SLOW U WOULDNT GET THAT !!!

Well, I'm not in Poland. I'm very familiar with my own language and people don't usually abbreviate They're with there because it makes no sense.

by the way you spelled understand incorrectly.

Life / Why are Poles always so miserable? Why do they never smile? [512]

If you think I'm writing nonsense then don't read it. Nobody's forcing you to.

I don't recall saying anything or responding to any of your posts..except for maybe 1. My comment was geared more towards the people that come here and feel the necessity to type BS in all caps with no explanation or validity to any of the posts. Like freddy. At least you'll stay and voice a valid opinion. Very few may agree but we're all different and do have other views on life. I think at some points I may be just as guilty by posting some 1 liners here and there...but hey, I'm bored at work sometimes.

What exactly is forcing you to stay if you're so miserable? Are you bound by child and wife?

Are you an American or something?

And what's wrong with being American anyway?

Has anyone here ever tried Gdanska Zlotówka? (the liquor with the gold flakes) I was just wondering if it's a vodka or something like Goldschlager?

I was going to buy a bottle there but it was over 100 zł I was hoping that it was more similar to a vodka. I can't drink Goldschlager...too sweet & syrupy.
