Food / Your favourite Polish foods! [180]

Anyway, most of the stuff here is bland and unvaried

I find pierogi to be quite varied. Even like the blueberry-filled ones :D

Food / Name of this particular Polish sausage [18]

here's toad in the hole for those who have no idea what I'm on about!

The sausage in the pic almost resembles Bratwurst. I say, take your pick of many of the delicious types of kielbasa available.

News / The number of millionaires in Poland is on the rise [15]

At present there are about 50,000 millionaires in Poland

between 30 and 35 percent of them are women.

That's good to know. I wonder when the women will exceed the 50% level in Poland.

Polka Parade was a creation of my late father Richard T. Walsh, and his good friend and host, Dick Sinclair.

Thanks so much for the great info. Any footage or pics from the show would be greatly appreciated :)

Travel / Driving in Poland, are there any rules at all? [149]

Driving in Poland, are there any rules at all?

I basically learned it's best to walk quickly while crossing the street; I didn't want to become a hood ornament for any oncoming traffic.

Food / Cooking Polish kiszka [99]

Try frying it with chopped apples

Sounds like a tasy combo. Will the recipe work with compote style apples?

News / Icy blast cleans the streets of the homeless in Poland.. [63]

California is serving wine in homeless shelters

I would imagine the shelters need to card some individuals, to verify they are within the legal drinking age. Many homeless people are teenage runaways. The shelters may be at risk of contributing to juvenile deliquency, if they don't ask their clients to provide a valid identification, before distributing beverages with alcohol content.
