Poland - Serbia etc. thread

Dirk is not an expert. He is an idiot.



I love Polish. They are themselves in disguise.

I do too. The first step of new Polish-Serbian cooperation should be kicking all the fast-food chains out of Poland and installing pljeskavica restaurants :)

I'm in!

I've had a reasonable pljeskavica in Kraków a few months ago. Nothing special, and certainly nothing compared to the wonderful one I've eaten in Trebinje, but hey, better than nothing.

You know, I can imagine Polish-Serbian fast food business. From pljeskavica, ajvar, ljutenica, ćevapčići, all kinds of domestic cheese and kajmak, to the Polish pierogi, kielbasa, etc.... all filled in somun bread with different vegetables. Plus gibanica.

Just think about that.

I AM thinking about that... and I'm hungry :) Or I should rather say - gladan sam!

Me too! My mouth is watering - Serbian cheese is just wonderful, and somun bread is way better than pita bread.


I've never tried it! Next time, I promise.

There was a really nice Yugoslavian takeaway in Warsaw, on Chmielna. Bosnian rather than Serbian, but similar food. They has some tables inside; it was my favourite place for a while. Then it became a very unauthentic Thai restaurant.

Gibanica is Serbian original. Burek is a Turkish version of it. You didn`t live if you didn`t try gibanica.

Listen to what your friend tells you. Gibanica beat Burek in every aspect. It's magic.



Gibanica - Serbs tell it sometimes in deminutive Giba, because we love it

Gibanica > from verb GIBATI > to move in waves > because dough in crust moves in waves

Pljeskavica > from verb SPLJESKATI > to flat > because you flatten the minced meat

Ćevapčić > from noun CEV > tube > because you roll minced meat in tube


One shocking thing for you.

I always thought Hungarians have good cheese. You know they have that round cheese with holes? See, I sow it and I somehow concluded they have all kinds of cheese as we Serbs comprehend cheese to have many variations. BUT THEY DONT HAVE. I learned that when some of my business partners begged me to bring me Serbian domestic cheese, kajmak and pavlaka. I told them `you are crazy, you have all that in Hungary`. But they don`t have it. Greeks also dont have it. Greeks know for milk thing what we Serbs have as KISELA PAVLAKA. Hungarians have only kind of round cheese with holes as their own local specialty.

We Serbs have it all and much much more. Truly honestly, Serbian cuisine is magnificent.



Pljeskavica in somun

Ćevapčići


All Bosnians were Serbs before Turks came. Orthodox, Catholics, and Bogumiles. Who speak otherwise speak politics and not real history and facts.


Pierogi are also good. I tasted it once.

You are a hilarious joke Crow...
Germans, Poles. Croats. And now Bosnians were actually Serbs???
You are mad..... Serbs are Poles that moved south at the same time as Croats (Also Poles)....

What sort of pierogi? There are hundreds kinds of them. Come to any good pierogarnia (like Mandu, in ulica Elzbietanska in Gdansk) and be swept off your feet. :)

One also couldn't live without proper zrazy, bigos, bitki, gołąbki or multitudinous Polish soups - żurek, chłodnik, barszcz, rosół, grzybowa, flaki etc. When I am abroad for a longer period of time, Polish food is the first thing that I start to miss.

@Torq

Great post... ;-)

Polish cuisine is great :)

Lwówskie are one of the nicest. People here don't seem to know them at all, though they do have a bit of history.

Is there not a Serbian version of pierogi.

Mazurskie are my personal favourites - deep fried, with white kiełbasa, pieczarki and onions, served with sauce of hand-grated horseradish... but people, people... are you sure we are ready to discuss pierogi here? Are we all mature enough? Are we all Polish enough?

Are we ready for the poetry of it?

Because with pierogi, people, everything depends on the mood, on your age, on the state of your heart and the world around you. When you feel like travelling back in time, when your mother kissed you on your forehead and you had no worry in the world, then you go for traditional ruskie - with twaróg, skwarki and onions and this one special ingredient that only your mother could add to her pierogi - LOVE; or maybe there is cold wind and frosty mist coming from the Baltic Sea, and you need something more solid to strengthen you - then you might go for pierogi z kaszą gryczaną or any of the z mięsem variety. Or maybe your girlfriend left you, and you need some sweetness in your life that is now so sadly missing in it - how about some fruit pierogi with cinammon and sugared cream? Or... perhaps... you want to remind yourself of that warmth of Wigilia with your family and choose pierogi z kapustą i grzybami or maybe... maybe...

...no... forgive me, gentlemen, if I stop posting, because at the moment I have to cry (and they are tears of pure love and joy).

It is St. Cyril and Methodius remembrence day today, isn't it? All the best, Crow - slava! :)

Thank you dobri brate.

This is a great pity that such a day passes almost unnoticed in Poland. Hopefully, they still celebrate it in Czechia.

Indeed. Especially that cyrillo-methodian Christianity was the first form of Christianity in Poland, and only later it was replaced by Western rite. Perhaps the Church today doesn't really want to remember about that. :(

St. John Paul II remembered about saints Cyril and Methodius and their work (see his "Slavorum apostoli" encyclical). It is a shame that today Polish church forgets about them. But people remember, Slavs remember.

Which perhaps corroborates Crow's thesis that Roman Christianity was the Vatican invasion on Poland?

If you invite someone, then you can't call him an invader. Mieszko I made the decision, the rest is history.

Mieszko sows what happened western from his lands. Any resistance to Rome was punishable by death and an open hunt on you. To all Slavs (ie Sarmats) Christianity was introduced with fire and sword. Western and Eastern Romans just divided our realm in their zones of control.

I never asked you that, Crow, but what are your personal views on religion? You sound like someone, if you were Polish, who would support Zadruga or any such "neo-pagan", anti-Christian movement. I read some of Zadruga members' works, and althought I do not agree with their view on Christianity, I can admit that their views are not completely devoid of sense.

Do you see those "national Churches" that you advocate as lesser evil, and would rather dispose of Christianity altogether?

Slavic history was stolen and falsified. Even now when say Slavic one must say, ie Sarmatian. Its still a public secret. But its just one aspect of it. How much our ancestors gave to forming of Christianity?

You ask me on Christianity but what we know of it, really. What I know of myself I feel I am Christian but, as far as I can say true Christian spirit is closer to that what we describe as Slavic soul. See, that soul failed only when Churches manipulated Christianity itself for their selfish aims.

How I see things question isnt are me or you Christians but is Rome or Constantinople Christian or rather are they impostors. Who could tell... But I have answer but should I tell it. Or ask. Are those who manipulate Churches satanists?

I know solution.

We declare Christian Church of native Europeans and we set Belgrade as religious center of it. Every state has autonomous local Church.

A single Church? With monopoly on faith in the entire country? I see too much space for corruption and manipulation here.

Perhaps many independent local churches would be better - let's say 20-30 local churches in a country (each in a certain area), joined by doctrine but independent administratively, financially etc.

Agreed, then.

Nice one Crow!

Did you know PC libtards here in the uSA want to eliminate or already have the swimsuit portion of beauty contests. Its the only reason I ever watched anyhow. Do they really think we want to hear them talk about their hobbies. LOL

Beauty pagants are completely outdated anyway.

@Miss Serbia - Eh lici, lici, dodji malo cici ;)
