Love / How common is it for husbands in Poland to open their wife's mail ? [30]

I can empathise with your dilemma. My mother wrote a letter to my grandmother about 15 years ago that put us in touch with that half of my family. My mother had the misfortune of being born out of wedlock, and her parents moved her from foster home to foster home over the years. After some prodding by the man my mom was seeing at the time, my mom finally screwed up the courage to contact her mom. She went in with a good attitude, and an open mind, and they ended up having a good relationship over the last few years of grandma's life, which included a trip to Hawaii with Grandma, my Aunt and my mom. My cousins ended up being a super group of people, and we see them quite frequently.

Go for it, but keep an open mind. It may or may not work out.

Good luck.

Classifieds / English cuisine week in Lidl shops in Poland [203]

it must be better than the plastic yellow stuff that passes for cheese here in Poland

So I have heard. I was disappointed on my trips to PL with regards to the cheese selection....

Life / Beggers namely Kurwa boys in Poland [70]

A beggar asked for a Guilder

Then the beggar asked for another Guilder

Then the beggar asked for another Guilder

Hence the term "greedy beggar"

News / Mass immigration to Poland - article and response [479]

Yes, ethnic food can be wonderful, Lodz. But I still think you are missing the larger picture. I might suggest hooking up with Bratwurst Boy for a weekend tour of some of the more diverse parts of Germany to get a sense of what people are really talking about. I am sure for the price of a few beers, he would be glad to show you around.

UK, Ireland / Fish and chips - do Polish people in the UK like this? [108]

With HP sauce on, too.

Kind of partial to good old fashioned Malt Vinegar. Actually I have a bottle in my fridge - considered vintage? - It is >15 years old. Good thing nobody has gotten sick from it, I guess ;-)

Love / How to please Polish women? [216]

Are you planning on baking some for the Mrs?

She doesn't have a sweet tooth, but I do :-)

It would probably please the Mrs. if I didn't bake so much!

Love / What do Asian boys think about Polish girls? :) (and vice versa) [150]

why do men always have to add an inch or two here and there :D

Usually short women like yourself wouldn't notice if somebody overstated thieir height by an inch. You may be able to tell if they added an inch there.

:-)

Oh, you noticed how nice Polish women boobs are? ;)

You know, when you put your face between them, babble like a fool, wagging your face back and forth, they all seem the same. :-O

Food / POLISH RECIPES! [287]

was given a piece of Boczek, but don't really know what the best thing to do with it!

Fry it up in big chunks, and adorn your pierogis with it. Onions too, if you are so inclined.
