USA, Canada / Differences in How Polish People Raise a Child and How Americans Raise a Child [149]
Nooooo... it's not so. Children's outfits, cribs, prams, toys - they were often hand over from family to family. Every other year I am giving away seldom used things [clothes, vessels, books] to my friend or neighbours or to the PCK
In Poland nobody will wear clothes that were used.

Life / Polish vs British vs American - Clash of cultures [390]
I think haggis is a kind of kaszanka rather, flaki it's a tripe soup:
Flaki has been consumed on Polish territory since the 14th century. It was one of favorite dishes of King Władysław II Jagiełło.
The method of preparation may vary slightly depending on the region. Some common ingredients include beef tripe, beef, bay leaf, parsley, carrot, beef broth, and spices to taste, including salt, black pepper, nutmeg, sweet paprika, and marjoram. Ready-made convenience-type equivalents of the labor-intensive flaczki are available. Sometimes pork tripe can be used instead of the beef tripe especially in the ready-made versions of the dish sold in Poland.

History / Should we glorify Polish secondary female characters from history? [36]
oh. it was Wajda's "Lotna", and he repeated a german lie i.a. from the picture „Feldzug in Polen"! There was only three "big" [and several smoller] battles of polish cavalry with Wehrmacht: Krojanty, battle on the river Bzura near Brochow and under Wólka Węglowa [ Poznań Army], but polish soldiers were fighting with german infantry and cavalry, there were some skirmishes with troopers, who were outside of tanks.
, it was actually a moving picture with Polish cavalry gallopping at the tanks with sabres.
