Food / Bigos Recipe [151]

Being and living in Poland 1/2 of my life I think
This recipe sound a lot like it's "BIGOS" but we cook it on a stove in a big soucepan , also instead of apple souce we add wild mushrooms , tomato paste and paprika and other spices -I thinks baking it its better -gets rid off the smell more. It is said that Bigos is always better after a day or two. I love bigos only in winter and I serve it with rye bread or just plain boiled potatos.

I will definitely try your recipe
Thanks

Life / Why are Poles always so miserable? Why do they never smile? [512]

I totaly agree with the author of this post . Just look at the avator pictures all girl's faces
look totaly serious miserable even, or ppl display animals - who can tell if that cat or dog
is smiling ....
I think polish ppl think that when one is smiling , loughing and happy in public one looks
or is stupid .
I remembr I used to laugh uncontrollably with my cusin about nothing - it always made her dad really mad and angry - told us to be serious and act with dignity and respect.

Food / Borscht - Zurek / Bialy barszcz recipe [153]

Ok I know exacly what you mean biały barszcz -white barszcz
It is like a special start to make the " soup barszcz " you have to make it in advance
of makeing the soup .

I haven't made it for a long long time now but
that is how you make it more or less.

first boil 1.5L of water and leave it to cool. then in a large stonware saucepan or jar take wholmeal flour- with wheatgerm about 1.5 cups , about 1 tea spoon salt .

and one clove of garlic - pour the water over the dry ingredients and stir ( you can add extra wheatgerm flakes if you like ) then most importantly take few (1 or 2 about 3 cm long) crust from sourdaugh or rye bread and put in mixture also .

taste it it should be salty , add more salt if it is not.

leave it in a dark place for 2 or 3 days , remember to stir it . When it is done it should be
sour and salty in taste.

Once it is done you use this to cook the soup . In polish deli you can buy it in a packet
it is called Żurek .

Good luck

Australia / Polish Tutoring Options in Melbourne [77]

I find this thread very very interesting. I am amazed how many people like
to learn and speak po Polsku. If only it was like that when I came to Australia
over 15 years ago and all the polish/ozzies teenagers looked at me with contempt
because I couldn't speak English. ;-P and now look , some of those teens who didn't want to even say dziękuje looking for tapes to learn how to pronounce

polish words ! Suddenly it is cool to be Polak / European ..... hmmmm

Australia / Polish community in Sydney, Australia [93]

I don't menan to put down Polish places but

Excellent ? I give it about two and half stars - its not excellent at all . I rather eat
anywhere else even Korean place on liverpool road is heaps better than there .
Everything about that place is less than ordinary. Fitout , no windows in that place, food is
less than ordinary.
I appeal to Polish ppl who run the place to put their act togehter charge more
and be more professional.

Przykro było żurawiowi,
Że samotnie ryby łowi.
Patrzy - czapla na wysepce
Wdzięcznie z błota wodę chłepce.
Rzecze do niej zachwycony:
"Piękna czaplo, szukam żony,
Będę kochał ciebie, wierz mi,
Więc czym prędzej się pobierzmy."
Czapla piórka swe poprawia:
"Nie chcę męża mieć żurawia!"
Poszedł żuraw obrażony.
"Trudno. Będę żył bez żony."
A już czapla myśli sobie:
"Czy właściwie dobrze robię?

bocian nie moze byc sam to powinno byc bocian i zabka

Love / In Polish relationships who is the boss? [46]

I haven't met a couple yet , who shared the power !
Its always the way where one person is dominant.
It can change with time for example when my grandparents were young and grandpa was the main family provider
he was the boss but later when he was getting a pension my grandmother became the boss !

Monia hit the nail in the head !
