Life / I saw Polish nationalism today [249]

I haven't heard anything recently about neo-Nazi here in the US.

They exist. They're also not afraid to use the swastika in public. I've seen these freaks with my own eyes.

Life / Class system in Poland - does it exist? [90]

This only class division that I have noticed in Poland is that between educated and non-educated Poles.

University educated Poles seem to think of themselves as being superior to the rest. It's not very noticeable, but I do occasionally hear educated Poles say things like, "czy on(a) pisał(a) mature?" "czy on(a) skonczył(a) studia?" - usually these are harmless questions, but in Poland I find that these questions have a negative connotation.

Food / Taste of food in Poland vs other countries [186]

I felt slightly adventurous one time so i bought polish spam "wieprzowa mielonka w puszce" in a polish grocery store. I almost puked when i opened it.
It's all about how you prep your food imo.

Spam is not real food by my books.

Unfortunately I think a lot of this problem stems from the fact that there is a certain section of society in Poland (the minority, but it seems like a large minority to me) who think that basically anything Polish is better than anything else in the world.

It wouldn't surprise me if some Poles thought that the oceans were created by the tears of Polish people weeping in sorrow and pity at how inferior every other country is.

Poles only think their food and women are superior. Everything else has to be foreign.

yeah Polish beef is quite good... even better then a TX steak... ;)

In your dreams, honey. No beef tastes better than texas steak.

Food / Taste of food in Poland vs other countries [186]

As far as I'm concerned, the quality of meat far surpasses all but premium, "farmers" meat in the UK. Can't comment for elsewhere, but the quality of chicken is definitely on another level.

So if i cooked your favourite chicken dish with 1 american (or british) poultry breast and 1 polish poultry breast, would you taste the difference?

Food / Taste of food in Poland vs other countries [186]

Believe it or not, but i've had people tell me that they left because the food was "disgusting" and the women were "ugly." Coincidentally they all worked menial jobs.

Now, as a polka living in the US, please post something about the differences in the taste of food between USA / Poland.

Food / Taste of food in Poland vs other countries [186]

I often hear Poles (who have lived in other countries) say that food, specifically meat, tastes better in Poland than it does elsewhere in europe or north america (usa/canada) even if it is prepared the same way, with the same spices.

I've lived and eaten in a few countries besides Poland and have never noticed differences in the taste of pork or chicken, for instance.

Are these Poles correct or are they just complaining?

Or maybe they are trying to justify their return to Poland to avoid telling everyone that they utterly failed abroad?

Travel / Best Places to eat in Wroclaw [24]

2. There is Spice India on Wita Stwosza

To be honest i was quite disappointed with the indian cuisine in wroclaw, both at spice india and masala. I`ve had much better indian food in england and the usa (made by indian immigrants).

Travel / Best Places to eat in Wroclaw [24]

There`s a phenomenal pizzeria in Biskupin but it has NO name. It is run by students and they don`t advertise! It is close to the odra river on the site of the Akademia Wychowania Fizycznego (old white german styled building), south of ul. zygmunta wroblewskiego / karola olszewskiego, just east of the zoo. EDIT: on ul. rzezbiarska ( 51.098951,17.084413 )

Best pizza in all of poland IMO. If they advertised and were in a better location, they would be much more successful.

There`s another pizzeria, on karola olszewskiego (at the end of the tram line i believe) run by a former wroclaw basketball player - also good food.

Marche on the corner of swidnicka and pilsudkiego is an excellent self serve restaurant.
