Perhaps the hardcore elements of ur society might but, in general, not. I think it's from sections of the older generation and those that bear grudges. It's the same in most countries, some resentment towards others for past hardship

Three reasons:

1. Sygnalki - especially from people who have expensive and new cellphones. Why not have a cheaper one and actually be able to use it.

2. No change in the shops - my local grocery empties all the coins from the cash register several times a day and therefore they never have change. No sense in this.

3. The food. Pork, cabbage, pork, raw grated vegetables (including cabbage) in sugary water, pork, smalec, pork, frozen fries. And more pork.

this thread is stupid .. the poster isnt even around and was a trouble maker anyways.

its plain and simple. if you hate it then dont go there!! if you cant help but go there, then go but shut up!! no one cares if you hate it or dont ..

this post isnt a helpful post , its a post meant to upset people .. as the poster tried to do over and over.. and admitted to it.. so why keep this crappy thread.

this thread belongs in the trash.. all in favor say trash!!

its useless, its degrading, and has the word hate on it.

You're largely right! There is a real case for immigrants to a country to be able to vent their annoyance at day-to-day things (better to be nice in real life "yes, Pani, your jamnik is so sweet when it craps in my garden") - this is just healthy, but the original poster probably was trolling.

As for the food, I have two Polish lodgers who spend hours in the kitchen doing things with cabbages, eggs, sugar, more sugar, handfuls of salt and pork in every form. Though not in the same dish. The soups here are good though!

I'm still not convinced. I spent almost 15 years doing the housewife thing in Poland, and I am Polish, and I used a Polish cookbook etc., but never in my life have I come across the weird combinations you seem to be describing. ;-)
Maybe your lodgers are not the most gifted of cooks?

Did it ever occur to you to try and stick those frozen fries in the oven for 15 minutes? Try it. Not eas crunchy as the frozen one but you make like them better.

btw. do you prefer American style beef and chicken with a "healthy" doze of antibiotics?

Yeah, I understand. But even broken down into different dishes, you seem to be describing either pork with sugar, or lard with salt, or pork with lard, or... Your list of ingredients just doesn't add up, neither as a whole nor broken down into smaller units. For example, I made cauliflower soup and pork chops in onion sauce with potato dumplings the other day. Would you say I used onions, pork, cream, salt, and flour? Because I did, but this list does not actually say anything about what I actually cooked. And I used a helluva lot of other stuff as well. I just can't seem to think of any dishes which would comprise solely or mainly of

Yeah Bubba, but what do you know about polish food. You are vegetarian and like curry. Nuff said.

Amen...yet another myth. Polish food and produce is not somehow healthier than the USA. Do you really think Polish businesses don't inject growth hormones and anitbiotics into livestock? All places do whatever they can to maximize profits. And if you say "But it is not allowed and they test for it" I have ocean front land to sell you in Warsaw...good price...better hurry many people are interested.

And Jonni...the change things cracked me up! I swear they spend 5 minutes asking you for change no matter what the total is. Do you have 87gr? No...53? No...34? No I don't have change. It could be an even ZL number and they would ask for "100gr??" Then they look at you pissy and finally take the money as if you are trying to ruin their day. It is definitely a thing specific to PL.

It's a bit like comparing apples and pears. I would say the best in Polish cuisine comes from the noblemen's tradition, and is related to Russian and Lithuanian cookery. On the other hand, Czech cuisine is strongly related to Austrian and even some Hungarian traditions (guláš, lečo). And of course, because my mum was Czech, my most most beloved comfort foods have to be Czech, they're what I grew up with... :-)

I have basically lived most of my life in Poland, and my mum has been dead these many years now. So I am more Polish than Czech in my outlook and everyday life, I'm sure. It's hard being divided in this way, but I know that if had to live in the Czech Rep. permanently, it would probably seem odd because although I know the language and the culture, I would still be an outsider. There's loads of small everyday things I just don't know because I don't visit that often or stay long enough when I do... :-(
