BB630 1 | 19 13 Mar 2009 #121I've got a bottle of Single Barrel in Poland and will probably bring another couple with me before I move there so I doubt I'll miss much.

mateinone 5 | 58 22 Mar 2009 #124Just on the steak comments at the start...I will take an Australian steak over anywhere in Europe, but in particular a lot of the food in England was absolutely awful, no offense to the English or anything, they like that food and I had a great time in that country, met fantastic people etc.. The food and the beer however was just something I could not stand.In regards to what I would take from this country.. hmm it is tough, but in a strange way nothing.. the good and not so good things about places are what makes traveling so much fun imo.
szkotja2007 27 | 1,498 30 Oct 2009 #125I saw that Shinty was referred to on this thread. For those interested, there is an international match tomorow.If you play the vid clip in the link you will also hear a variety of Highland accents, the one at 4.02 is a cracker ! Just to let you know that we all dont sound like Billy Connolly :-)Shinty and accentsnews.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/highlands_and_islands/8332547.stm
1jola 14 | 1,879 30 Oct 2009 #126CHEDDAR CHEESEThe French would argue that it can be actually called cheese.There is one cheese worth trying in Poland - BURSZTYN. Try it.
Harry 30 Oct 2009 #127The French would argue that it can be actually called cheese.Yes, but they are most happy to eat it after they have surrendered!There is one cheese worth trying in Poland - BURSZTYN. Try it.INFIDEL!!! Oscypek is the one true cheese of Poland! Although it goes better with the beers from the Carpathian mountains than from the Tatras.
wildrover 98 | 4,451 30 Oct 2009 #128Makes my mouth water reading all the stuff people miss foodwise.....I really miss being able to phone up , and have a Chinese or Asian meal delivered to my doorstep , but thats the price you pay for moving to another country , things are different , i find many aspects of Polish life better than the UK , and there is no doubt i wopuld miss many things i have got used to in Polska , if i were forced to return to the UK...I would not want to introduce too many things to Poland from my country...if i did , it would not be Poland any more....adapt and survive as they say...
1jola 14 | 1,879 30 Oct 2009 #129INFIDEL!!! Oscypek is the one true cheese of Poland! Although it goes better with the beers from the Carpathian mountains than from the Tatras.Can't eat it. It squeeks against my teeth when I bite it. No other cheese does that. I get the same reaction as some people do when you scratch the blackboard.Yes, but they are most happy to eat it after they have surrendered!I think it is insensitive to call the French cheese-eating surrender monkeys, so I never do.
Harry 30 Oct 2009 #130I think it is insensitive to call the French cheese-eating surrender monkeys, so I never do.Me neither. Calling the French that term is highly insulting to monkeys.
1jola 14 | 1,879 30 Oct 2009 #131I read about that somewhere. The chimps explained that when they raise both hands and show their teeth, they do so to taunt their enemy and it has nothing to do with smiling and doing the French salute, and highly resented the comparison.

bimber94 7 | 254 24 May 2010 #139Shops still open on some stupid RC holiday like the so-called "Body of Christ Day", next on June 3rd. All of Poland is closed on that day. Even the dogs will be afraid to bark for fear of excommunication.If Poland is to compete successfully with the West, it MUST rid itself of Catholic control.
Varsovian 92 | 634 24 May 2010 #140Yeah - like it should be open for business on Good Friday ... Oh it is!Silly me.

wildrover 98 | 4,451 27 May 2010 #146If its a steak made from Irish people..its probably illegal under EU law...!
Ironside 51 | 11,310 28 May 2010 #147Texas beef but I bet they have to import a lot of their grain.Reply QuoteMan shouldn't they grazing their cattle ? cheap cheaters !
hague1cmaeron 14 | 1,377 28 May 2010 #148The art of queuing!They have a lot of experience in that, especially communist times, so much so that they are probably sick of it. LOL.
Trevek 26 | 1,702 28 May 2010 #149Zebra crossings which aren't half a car length from a junction, and that people observe.Shop staff who actually look at you, smile and speak to you, rather than stare right through you or speak to their friends while serving you.A Tesco with a proper checlout, not one which is so packed with sweets and last-minute attempts to sell you something that nobody can collect the baskets.
espana 17 | 937 28 May 2010 #150If I could introduce something from my country into Poland, I would....Nice ladies.
