UK, Ireland / A collection of noimmigration's threads or "STAY AWAY from BRITAIN" [978]

didnt seem clear who they were targeting

It doesn't seem clear but the whole things stems from immigrants outside of the EU. I was listening to something about this on the radio this morning.

noimmigration - the reason they want a cap in Scotland is because of the rapid growth in population and they've made a forward prediction. It's more about the future rather than the here and now. Right now we do need the immigrant population.

Food / Polish food in Pictures. [277]

Last week, on a rainy Friday I decided to cook gołąbki for the very first time. :) The result was pretty good and got the thumbs up from my Polish friends. I used too much rice (I never can measure it right) and they could have been wrapped tighter! I also made a tomato sauce when I would have preferred a mushroom one. :) Next I'll try to make them without meat for a friend who is vegetarian.

I thought it might be a good idea to start a thread for people to post pictures of the Polish food they cooked so please share your culinary talents with us! :)

So I thought I would share my gołąbki with you...


  • Just out the oven!

  • Almost ready to eat...

  • Too much sauce!

Thanks. They turned out better than what I expected. :)

Yummy sauce too , how did you make the sauce ?

It's a bit of a "PD style" sauce but it's similar to



this one here. I didn't use bacon, cheese or the mushrooms though. :)

Seems like a good idea. Someone else told me to fry them a little or grill them. I think oven is better though. :)

I'll post more pictures when I make more. So I hope to see a few other pictures on here ;)

and yes, i love to taste every kind of food...

So do I which is why I have started trying to cook some Polish dishes now. I have a few ideas of what my next experiment might be! :)

I am starving hungry now :)

I do apologise. :) I waited until after I'd eaten tonight before I posted this thread :)

They were quite difficult and it took me a while but I wanted to cook them because I liked the idea of them. I'm glad they look good, thanks. :) I didn't look at any pictures of them until after I cooked (and eaten some of) them. It was a good way to spend a rainy Friday afternoon. :)

Good because there were none. Who knows why they stayed together? Some of them didn't as the first picture shows.

Well, he said it was a "guest" but if that person remains anonymous then the post goes under szarlotka's name. He then ends up putting up with whatever is said about that post.

Vincent, you did a great job of being guest writer in the omnibus edition. :) Perhaps you and szarlotka could share the task in future? :)

Me being joint 2nd in the football thread is a temporary glitch and be assured that after the next round of matches order will be restored and I'll be languishing in about 10th place if not lower. ;) Unless I do my homework properly and knock jbman flying from the top! :)

The next guest contributor to the PF Omnibus? Who knows? ;)

Thanks Vincent. :) Actually I am surprised by how well I did in that round, if you recall in the Euro 2008 threads my predictions were awful! ;) Maybe I will be there in the next round. :)

Sorry I don't know too much more about her off the top of my head. If you google her there will be plenty about her. :)

I wonder if you can still get that perfume.

But there but have been women who fort for the resistence who are a house hold name in Poland.

I kind of thought you were after something like that but I can't think of anyone at the moment. Helena sprang into mind when I read "famous" and of course "iconic" made me think of Marie Curie but I see Grzegorz already posted a link about her. :)

Good post Miranda, but one thing:

The Translation section is no longer active

It's alive and well and has never been inactive. :)

OK, picture of the most recent attempt at gołąbki. :) Mushroom sauce this time and boiled potatoes. :)

Thanks for the tip. I much prefer mushroom sauce. So far I can only make a sauce which is enough to cover the gołąbki but I have seen pictures of them soaking in sauces. I will try in future. :)

Believe it or not I do use a deep dish and I pour water into the bottom before covering with foil. When I made those ones in my second lot of pictures I didn't add any further water.

I made them again today and added more water at the beginning so when I checked them 1/2 way and then 3/4 way through they didn't require any addtional water as there was still adequate left in the bottom of the dish and they weren't burnt at all. (Now I wish I had taken a picture of these ones. ;)

I read your tip about the sauce and decided against it, most of the people who are eating them here prefer them only with ketchup. I prefer them with mushroom sauce so I just add that when serving. Perhaps in the future I'll try your way. I'll be giving the gołąbki a rest for a while though as I have a new dish to try! ;)

Thanks for the tips ;)

(Currently I am making cabbage soup ;)

Life / 3 reasons why you hate Poland. [1049]

noimmigration

How did you get out?!

I hate the polish because they are beneath me. I hate poland because polish culture is inferior to western culture.

I doubt you actually "hate" them. Hate is a very strong emotion and I seriously doubt you feel that at all for Poland or for Polish people. Hate is reserved for dictators and murderers and rapists (for example).

You may dislike Polish people and you may even dislike an entire nation but perhaps you'd like to provide an in depth reasoning as to why? Never mind saying they are toilet cleaners or any of that other nonsense you come out with. If you have a legitimate dislike of all things Polish then please explain it fully, without swearing, without silly pictures and without blaming them for all that is wrong with this country (actually it's the government that's wrong with this country and not the people living here).

What is your recipe for the mushroom sauce?

I didn't make the mushroom sauce in the those pictures but when I do make it I use a recipe similar to this one here but with my own secret ingredient. ;)

recipezaar.com/149547

I don't bake the gołąbki in the sauce though because I like them with only a little sauce on them. :)
