Englishman Reacts to... 44 Facts You Didn't Know (But maybe I do!)

Poles, like Germans, like sauerkraut not because of its taste but rather because of the need to get used to it, as it has always been a cheap source of vitamin C during the cold winter months. Yes, Wałęsa is a former agent recruited by the communist services. There is not the slightest doubt about this at present. This is documented in the archives of the Institute of National Remembrance. In the initial period, the EU was a real engine and catalyst for the progress and modernization of post-Soviet Poland. It was to be a confederation of sovereign nation states, the main principle of which was the free movement of goods and people without Brussels' interference in the internal politics of member states. For some time, however, the Brussels authorities (appointed, not elected) have adopted a sharp course in creating a federal state in which the member states are systematically deprived of their sovereignty. We Poles already went through this when we were under Soviet occupation. This is where the problem begins. We don't want to go through this again. It's better to be a hungry wolf in the wild than a fat dog strapped to a kennel. Rob, even though we have different worldviews on some issues, I really like your videos. Your intelligence and mental acuity, as well as your objectivity and drive to expand your knowledge, are impressive. Congratulations, I wish you good luck, perseverance and satisfaction with the fruits of your work. Regards, Pole from Sydney.

[@kopernik_elfka]

@@RobReacts1 interesting facts about "na zdrowie" are as follows: 1. it is the title of one of Jan Kochanowski's poems (one of the most influential Slavic poets prior to the 19th century). The clou is that health is the most important thing, and therefore the best toast. 2. Russians make a very similar toast, it sounds more like "na zdarowie", but the relationship is still visible.

Omg, I can't with the fact that in English-speaking countries people think that "kiełbasa" is some particular type of sausage when it litarelly means just "sausage" and is the broadest term you can get for that type of food xD So there's white sausage, juniper sausage, hunter's sausage, Żywiec sausage, Kraków sausage, Polish raw sausage and some hundreds of others, just like there's Italian sausage or turkey sausage. I'm slowly getting used to this "pierogis" madness, but "kiełbasa sausage" is just too much for me 😂

I've lived in Warsaw for over 30 years. *Nobody* calls it the "Phoenix City" 😅. The closest actually used term, and a part of Warsaw's coat of arms, is "Semper invicta" (pol. "Zawsze niezwyciężona", eng. "Always undefeated").

13:38 Cider isn't popular in Poland because it usually has 5% of alcohol and is taxed not the same as beer which has similar alcohol content but as wine because cider is made of fruits. So it is less profitable.

However, your cider is very tasty!

[@The0Stroy]

It became more popular around time when Russia imposed embargo on Polish apples. So people start to buy more cider to help farmers (I doubt if it really helped).

There are 2 types of bigos: pure sour one, and much more mellow one. More sour one is typically made for Christmas fasting and contains no meat (at least in my family). The "proper" mellow one being made with a mix of sour cabbage and raw cabbage, with a lot of spices, different cuts of meat, fat (from cooking other traditional meats for Christmas), and cooked throughout a few days. We use to say that bigos gets better with each reheating, but in reality it still has its limits before it goes bad (despite it having a very long "shelf life").

[@adamlutomski2513]

Your polish pronunciation is very good for a non-polish speaker, the only thing i might add which i think you will find useful is if you're not sure where the accent lands it's most likely on the penultimate syllable, as it is the case for almost every city.

Hi Rob! Probably the best sweet pierogi are those with forest blueberries (pierogi z jagodami). You can try to find them in one of the Polish grocery stores in Scotland. Pierogi z jagodami are most delicious with good quality double cream. Greetings from Scottish Borders!

[@TheAZAZEL35]

[@decanaba]

with all due rescpect NO ;D the best sweeet pierogis are with cherries (wiśnie)(not sweet cherries (czereśnie)!), and the best kind of cherries for this are 'szklanki', it is a perfect mix of sour and sweet, especially with cream and sugar, but you can eat them raw (i mean boiled ofc, but w/o anything added, also they are as good hot and cold) 🤤 there is a problem tho - they are extremely rare to find, and most people don't even know about this mix. probably a regional thing 🤷

Divination was done on the eve of St Andrew's Day, the evening before the feast. At this time, the maidens would usually tell each other who would be the first to get married. To do this, one shoe of each maiden was placed in the furthest corner of the house and the last shoe was moved forward and so on until one of the shoes crossed the threshold. This was supposed to symbolise the leaving of the house of the parents of the already married girl. Another fortune-teller on the evening of St Andrew's Eve was the pouring of wax. The wax was melted in a pot and then poured into a bowl of water through the ear of a key. Once the wax had set, the shape of the shadow on the wall could be used to tell, by candlelight, what was in store for that person in the coming days. Christmas Eve itself (in the former Eastern Borderlands of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth it is also called Wilia), and in general any evening before a holiday, is called "wigilia". When it comes to bigos. In Old Polish, the word "bigosować" meant "to chop". So bigos is not just sauerkraut with meat, sausage and smoked plums (yes, in Poland fruits are smoked ;) ) but all dishes that are chopped and stewed. As for games. It's not just "The Witcher" or "Cyberpunk". It's also "Dying light" or "Frostpunk". Finally, a question. Have you watched "Geography now: Poland"? I also recommend the song "Eat pierogi" by Me and the Band.

Andrzejki, St. Andrews Day. Ok, this is a tricky one. As far as I know: The Andrzejki night comes from a Pegan tradition, before Christianity arrived in the year of 966. Poland's demographic structure is by far mostly Catholic, so by no means, any fortunetelling activity would be accepted. However, somehow, some of the old rituals survived. This one did probably because of the fun, social element, and it's treated with a huge grain of salt. As far as the name Andrzejki (from Andrzej, read ANDjEi, Andrew) comes from a pure coincidence of the timing alignment of the particular "ritual" and the day of celebrating St. Andrew's name.

In Poland the constitution confirmed the mixed presidential-parliamentary form of government. Under its provisions the president is directly elected to not more than two five-year terms. The president serves as commander in chief of the armed forces, has the power (albeit restricted) to declare martial law or a state of emergency, and can veto an act of the Sejm (which in turn can override that veto with a three-fifths majority vote). The president nominates the prime minister and, on the prime minister’s recommendation, the cabinet, subject to the Sejm’s approval, but the president cannot dismiss the government. Deputies in the Sejm and senators are popularly elected to four-year terms. Laws must be adopted by both houses. The Senate has the right to amend or reject a law passed by the Sejm. The Sejm may override the Senate’s decision with a majority vote. The main executive power is vested in the prime minister and the Council of Ministers, who are responsible to the Sejm. The government can be terminated by the Sejm only by a constructive vote of no confidence. The prime minister has a role comparable to that of a chancellor in the German political system. Fun fact: Parliamentary elections will be held in Poland on 15 October 2023 to elect members of the Sejm and Senate 😉😉😉😉

The thing about bigos is that the more times you heat it, the better it becomes. Traditionally, large quantities of this dish are prepared for Christmas. So big that even a dinner for a large family cannot eat it. So there's a lot of bigos left for later. It used to be that, in my family, bigos prepared for Christmas was eaten until New Year's Eve, every day. And, in fact, it tasted best shortly before New Year's Eve. Bigos in restaurants is, unfortunately, "young" bigos. The one heated repeatedly is much better.

Andrzejki or St. Andrews day is big because it is the last day you can party before Advent (well it is one of the reasons) the other reasons go back to some pagan customs that coincided with the timing of St. Andrews which is on the last day of November (the 30th not 29th as he said.)

There were times of partitions, great wars and the amount of meat was reduced. But imagine a dish with 24 types of among 10 types of fish and crayfish. An original recipe that meets today's standards requires a master chef and many years of experience. What you ate in Poland is just a sad memory of what this dish originally was like. and above all, fish and all types of edible mushrooms, even truffles found in Poland

To be fair these predictions on Andrew's days are mostly just games now not taken seriously and from my expierience they only happen in grade school It's kinda a lot like haloween parties for kids you have dance party with costumes ,food and al the games with sillly predictions.Adults go to parties or celebrate in general. Just like someone said in the comments it's a Christian tradition put with old slavic spin to it. You do it before the advent kinda like fat thursadys before 40 day fasting for Easter. It originally was a women only event and we had men equvelent Katarzynki st. Cathrine's day. Now it's just Andzejki for everyone

"Wigilia" is commonly used as a Chiristmas Eve, but not every time, it is somethimes used with other Catholic holy days, and means the day before that day, i heard this like for ecample Wigilia Wielkanocy, witch means the day before Easter

Letters spell the same and the best way to learn Polish is to know how to speak. Grammar is not that important if you want to communicate 🇵🇱❤️ Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱 ❤
