Food / Polish food in Pictures. [277]

I need to cook some Polish food soon and get some new pictures in here. Been doing a lot of cooking but not Polish.

A friend of mine was telling me tonight about nalesniki. I had never heard of it until he explained it. Anyone have any pictures of that?

Food / Polish food in Pictures. [277]

Ah they look nice enough. I'll have to get them from somewhere.


Oh yes that would be good. And the kopytka as well. And anything else that anybody happens to have. :)

Good job Fred (multi-talented ;)

I am now hungry and will have to raid the cupboards...

Thanks for posting, they're great. :)

Food / Polish food in Pictures. [277]

This thread makes me hungry! ;)

Mr Chopin, do you have a recipe for kopytka with proper measurements?

Food / Polish food in Pictures. [277]

Yes the pictures are great but I could do with a written recipe with measurements in it, not that I really like following a recipe but when I make something the first time it's always handy... :)

Food / Polish food in Pictures. [277]

Cheers for that Lir. :)

I only use recipes when starting off something new. After the first time I don't bother with them. Same with weighing, first time weigh, after that don't bother. ;)

Travel / Live Music / Festival in Warsaw? [26]


Although strictly not Warsaw, she's in Edinburgh tomorrow night and I can't go! It will be a good night as it will be in Warsaw! :D

Travel / Live Music / Festival in Warsaw? [26]

Yeah that's a bit strange that she isn't going to anywhere else in the UK.

I'll miss her singing that Ella Elle la song though, it's great. Although I know there's another reason the males might want to see her ;)

Warsaw is not her only date in Poland...

Mr Chopin, thanks for sharing. The tastebuds in PD Manor are going overtime. Although they may have to wait a bit before the fantasy is fulfilled.

I'm interested to know if anyone would write about Polish food for the ongoing competition because I am sure there any people who know more about cooking for occasion like weddings, funerals etc or just cooking in general. :)

USA, Canada / Where can I find Polish Festivals in Southern New England, USA? [22]


I couldn't find any. If you or any one else does hear of one please post it on PF. :)


Plenty. Try the FAQ and Feedback section, most things you'll find in there. :)

USA, Canada / What do you think about NM (New Mexico) state? [40]

The chances of someone who has no interest in Poland or Polish people reading this thread are slim. People come to PF to read, learn, chat about Poland or Polish related subjects. If you like, I can take "Polish" out the title and put the thread in the off-topic lounge. That way anyone can chat about anything in New Mexico. Otherwise, to remain in the public forum, it must have a Polish theme.

Thanks.

It's a bit like bolting the door after the horse has fled. However, it could stop repeat offenders.


You don't think it will help at all then?

News / Poland's fight against paedophilia [277]


Good question.

What are the stats in Poland regarding male and female sex offenders? Anyone know?


Possibly. The idea is their sex drive would be lowered though.

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

Kojak333 if you're really that worried about it I'd suggest sending it to her place of employment if you're clear about her name, job title and department (especially if it's a big health care centre).

I imagine you'd be able to send it to her home without issue though.

Getting a friend involved might not be what your friend wants but if they're willing to help then that would be great but I wouldn't have them hand deliver it, that might be a bit much for your Mother. You'd also have to trust your friend to post it on once they received it.

Good luck.

History / Polish Atlantis (pre-war Warsaw, Poland in pictures). [38]

Good pictures Sokrates and thanks for posting them.

I agree that Świętokrzyska Street has the look of 20's New York, probably because of the Prudential building.

Enjoyed look at the pics. :)

Feedback / Editing time too short (5 minutes currently) [60]


Correct.


All I could really suggest there is to use the preview button to proof-read before you post.

I doubt the edit time will change but maybe if you speak nicely to Admin he'll change it. ;)

UK, Ireland / Time for the Poles from the UK to go home [437]


At a guess I'd say that percentage comes from about 100 people asked in a predominately BNP area. You can come up with any statistic you like if you ask a certain number of people in a specific area. Like I could go to Spain and ask 100 people in certain areas if they would like the British ex-pats to return home. In one area a high percentage would say yes and in another area a high percentage would say no. Easily manipulated are these statistics.


Speak for yourself. BTW what is your country?

UK, Ireland / Time for the Poles from the UK to go home [437]


I'm not under any illusions about the feelings of people regarding immigration and I also agree that immigration needs to be more tightly controlled. Foreign criminals should not be getting into this country or any other. Limits should be placed on how many immigrants can enter. However, his declaration of 95% is not backed up with evidence and as we all know, these stats come from on the street polls of less than 1000 people usually.


The good thing about my social circles is that we tend to be able to talk about any subject, including immigration. I have Scottish friends who'll bring up the problems with immigration and Polish friends who will agree with them. We also manage to have these conversation without descending into argument.

Your article from the Times shows research by MORI where 975 were asked. While it shows the opinions of 975 people of voting age it doesn't show accurately the views of the nation. Without knowing more about the people asked you can't take polls seriously (not just these immigration ones - any kind) and they will be variable depending on where you ask them. Like if I stand on my front street and ask fifty passers-by if they like sunbeds I'll get a different result than if I were to stand outside a tanning salon and ask the same question. The only way to get a true account is to ask every single person in Britain aged 18 or over.

I'm not saying people in the UK don't want immigration controls to change, I'm just saying these polls can be manipulated. That's all.

Genealogy / Unanswered Polish names requests - anyone have information on the following? [21]


They were put together by someone else, I'm just finishing the task on their behalf and thanks to them for doing it. :)


True indeed. Some of them don't mean anything or have any known origin but others don't so if anyone has any information on any of the names it would be appreciated if they would write about it here.

Good luck with your dissertation. :)

UK, Ireland / Female health in Britain - Polish view [105]


Petitions are great but if you asked every person who wanted to sign the petition to submit a letter of complaint to the relevant person in the NHS the outcome would be different and quicker.

Ksysia
I've never really heard of any problems concerning female health care in Britain and believe me I would if it happened often. I missed one smear appointment and they badgered me relentlessly until I made a new one, for example.

My sister had an abnormal result form a smear and she was dealt with very well, Amathyst has no complaints from her own scary ordeal. The system here is good, very, very good and we don't let people suffer.

What is the issue with midwifery? Midwifes here are specialised in their fields and often doctors take their advice as good and there are no issues. So is that problem that we say "this is your midwife" rather than "this is your doctor"?

Interestingly, although it must have happened, I have never personally dealt with one complaint against a midwife.

Life / Saw a girl in black openly smoking a spliff on a Katowice street today [49]



Uh-oh. Was she about 5ft tall with short, messy, dyed blonde hair? :) lol

;)

Life / Saw a girl in black openly smoking a spliff on a Katowice street today [49]

Me? I'm back in the Burg and don't do da dope. ;)

Seems like it's hard to tell what this one girl was smoking though. Maybe hash, maybe just tobacco. Even if it is the Mary-Joanna you'll always get someone daring enough to smoke it where someone from PF will spot you and report back to the rest of the membership. ;)

Love / A Polish womans relationship with her mother in law. [44]


Of course Polish girls speak to their Mothers-in-law, the only reason they wouldn't would be if there was some conflict or other.

Your son is the one with the issues here, I don't think his wife is the problem.


Correct.

UK, Ireland / Missing Polish woman found murdered in Chesterton, UK [27]


That's the case.

The person in the dock is innocent until the prosecution provides sufficient evidence for the defendant to be found guilty. To find someone guilty the evidence must show that they are guilty beyond reasonable doubt, if there is not enough evidence to do that then the defendant should be found not guilty. Or I think in Scotland the case can be found 'not proven' as well.
