Language / "Poles" or "Polish people" - which is better to use? [200]

If people from Poland are called "Poles," why aren't people from Holland called "Holes"?

beacause they are actually netherlanders.

“Pollock”

that also = pollack and there are a few other veriosn too. btw. pollock is also kind of a fish.

Show me an english dictionary that states that then !!

try google.

Food / What exactly is Polish Bread? [91]

recipes 2 and 3 are some of the closest i have seen to describe the polish bread. i don't think you can make it in a bread machine though... partially because of the hot water and/or the egg white.. which is sometimes brushed on after the second water sprinkling.

from what i have also heard is that the oven needs to be of a certain type or construction.. what type i have no idea..

however, one of these days i am going to give it a go in my dutch oven. i'll let you know how it comes out, if it comes out. :D

Food / What exactly is Polish Bread? [91]

there are many "black" breads.. hard to tell what the one you tasted was like. and this being in Mass., that bread might have been a MA-PL bread anyway.

Food / What exactly is Polish Bread? [91]

is that fine grind? the russians make some kind of pumpernikel type bread that is way dark and soft/smooth meat and the skin is chewy but i have never had it straight from the oven either.

Genealogy / The typical Polish look, or all Eastern Europeans [656]

there sin't one Polish look out there. there has been lot's of blood mixing over the centuries. lot's of blood from asia and other parts of europe. just look into whom the poles fought over the centuries and you'll see who we're mixed with. the only thing that's common is the higher cheek bones.

USA has a mix from all corners of the earth.. poland's mix is a little bit more limited, but yes, it's similar.. maybe why we're allies.. many things in common.

Genealogy / The typical Polish look, or all Eastern Europeans [656]

do you understand that most of the health problems that people face in the western world such as diabetes, cancer, stroke, obesity,high blood pressure, etc. are caused by unhealthy diets laden in sugars, simple carbs, processed foods and unhealthy fats?

+ all the additives and hormones. but i think it may get passed down through the generations too.. food is funky in the USA.
