Love / Polish Women Versus Your Local Women ? [289]

Girl; You've got 'way too much' time on your hands.

Yep.

please enlighten me.

Sure. Here's some Polish history for you:

Battle of Vienna

"The Battle of Vienna (Polish: Bitwa pod Wiedniem or Odsiecz Wiedeńska, Turkish: İkinci Viyana Kuşatması) took place on 12 September 1683 after Vienna had been besieged by the Ottoman Empire for two months. The battle broke the advance of the Ottoman Empire into Europe.

The large-scale battle was won by Polish-Austrian-German forces led by King of Poland John III Sobieski against the Ottoman Empire army commanded by Grand Vizier Merzifonlu Kara Mustafa Pasha."

Love / Polish Women Versus Your Local Women ? [289]

Not true at all. I just got back from PL and the women sizes seem to be changing.

What part of Poland? I was up north last time around. Most impressive.

Love / Polish Women Versus Your Local Women ? [289]

Wanna hear about all the faults typical of American men (no I didn't think so). I bet I could get a really long thread going on that one!

Please start another thread if you want to do this -- it's not appropriate for this one. And, keep in mind that this is the PL forums, not the USA Forums. Thx.

News / Are Poles good enough for USA (to go there without a visa)? [288]

igloos

There may not be many 'igloos' in Canada, but we do know it's cold there.

For example, it will be -16 Celsius in Montreal tonight...

By the way ... there are some igloos in Canada:

USA, Canada / Polish restaurant in metro Washington DC area? [20]

Try the new Kielbasa Factory. I think you'll like it even better. I've been to both and definitely recommend it to anyone in the area.

The kielbasa, pierogi, bread, golabki, paczki, etc.... all excellent. The food is much more natural than what can be found at regular, local, large grocery chain stores (and... of course unique in this area).

Food / Why carp for Polish Christmas? [157]

"Catching and Eating Carp

Common carp are extremely popular with anglers in many parts of Europe, and their popularity as quarry is slowly increasing among anglers in the United States. Very specialized baits and tackle have been developed for common carp angling.It is also popular with spear and bow fisherman.

Carp is also eaten in many parts of the world both when caught from the wild and raised in aquaculture. In Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia and Poland, a carp is a traditional part of a Christmas Eve dinner."

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

I enjoy Żubrówka too (can't get the real thing in the US w/the true grass even though it has the same name). Anyone ever try Soplica?

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1080]

That is why in 1945, Europe was saved by the Russians, almost single handedly.

Don't forget about the massive U.S. aid that the USSR received from the U.S....

She was also wondering where all of the obese people were. She heard that there's an enormous obesity problem, but only saw a few here and there and didn't see it as big of a problem that everyone makes it appear to be. Maybe it's just where we were visiting. NY-NJ-NC.

NY City isn't so bad with the obesity problem--everyone walks everywhere because most people don't own cars. There is a nationwide problem though. The obesity maps are interesting. They show that the biggest problem is in the Midwest and mostly in the South.

USA, Canada / American people attitude towards Poles in the USA [98]

Not as far as I've been able to discover. I've 'heard' that some people... have put it in the mail in vacuum sealed plastic from PL and sent it to the U.S. That would still be better than could be purchased in the U.S., but certainly not fresh.

Hand made perogies at Polish markets are about the most authentic foods I can get here.

Let's not get too far off topic...

USA, Canada / American people attitude towards Poles in the USA [98]

Any attempt to compare Polish immigration to the US to that which has happened here would be fraught with difficulty I think.

True, there are too many differences in terms of geography and the time periods to do an appropriately proportional comparison.

USA, Canada / American people attitude towards Poles in the USA [98]

I`m met some of the nicest people in my life from Poland

This has been my experience also.

Quoting: Oscypek It is also thought that one in every four English people have French Huguenot ancestry. Wow - thats freaking me out. I think we came over with the Normans which is even worse. 950 years of French ancestry, sacre bleu, zut alors. Aidez-moi, je vous prie!

It is interesting, and it's surprising that more people don't know about this.
