Mushroom foraging is a way to spend your free time enjoying the forest, be close to the nature - just walk into the woods, breathe and pick some mushrooms. Then you can dry it, pickle it or whatever. Those are wild mushroom, not like the supermarket white mushrooms (champignon, button mushrooms). Much tastier :) And of course when you walk into the forest you have a container for your mushrooms - since the buckets, but I prefer hand made baskets :)

[@ZwiekszoneRyzyko]

The mushroom picture is not that much exaggerated. We LOVE foraging, when autumn comes there are foragers in every forest, especially after rain. Buckets are there because they are often used as containers for mushroom-picking.

Pov: you find out that "ptasie mleczko" means bird's milk

[@akwanet]

So basically: Kompot - a fruit drink made of cooked fresh or dried fruit Heroin - made from so called "papavar milk" or poppy straw - to make it you have to boil the straw and process it. Therefore Polish Heroin, made of boiled poppy straw is called Kompot but does not contain pure heroin(also contains morphine as well as codein ), the process was developed in the mid 1970s by students of chemistry at Gdańsk University of Technology The more you know :O

In my work we play a game - we have a list with music genres (around 500) we roll random number and we listen to it for at least 30 minutes, no matter how bad it is (All of us are sometime in real pain, trust me, but rules are rules). One time a guy from UK wanted to show us a Polish song he enjoys. It was disco polo. We survived 30 seconds and turned it off. This is how bad that music is. Yes, I am Polish and our team is mostly Polish

[@hussarya3380]

Disco polo is a kind of music here in Poland that nobody likes, nobody listen, but everybody knows and when somewhere is played, everybody dance to it and sing it. My polish dad likes mushroom faraging and he's able to wake up at 5 AM, drive literally an hour to the forest and spend half of the day at it... But he don't like eat mushroom xD And you need a bucket to get mushroom to the car, if you go back with every single one, it'd take few days. And "Proszę" don't literally means all of this (only "please"), but could be used in all of this situations. Near my place there are two Zabkas literally on the opposite sides of the same route xD Seriously, you exit Zabka and the first thing you see is another one.

Kompot isn't joghurt-like, it's juice-like (fruits boiled in water). And yea, kompot also means a drug in drug culture slang. It was opiate "cocktail", very impured, dangerous and cheap. And it technically disappeared after 1991 (open borders, easier way to get more better drugs), so younger ppl didn't hear about that and made a meme because same word for 2 different things sounded funny.

[@monikasuszek3434]

Mushroom foraging is a big deal in Poland. A lot of families have their own secret places in the woods where they drive to pick up mushrooms. Usually you go for a long walk with a bucket or a basket in your hand and hunt for mushrooms. I live doing that since I was a child. Children are usually pretty good at foraging.

"Compote is a French dessert made with cooked fresh fruit. In Poland, people don't discard this delicious water but serve it as a summer drink. Back in 1980, during the communist regime, "kompot" was a slang word for a homemade concoction made with poppy seeds. There was a nationwide ban on planting poppy as a crop, except for a variety named "przemko" with low morphine levels. The Milicja (police during communist times) often arrested farmers and hobbyist gardeners who illegally planted poppy in order to sell to drug addicts."

Yes there is lots of forest in Poland and going in to forest to pick forest mushrooms is a think in Poland - not common mushrooms you bay in UK supermarket (champignon, portobello) , people in Poland harvesting in forest: butter mushroom , boletus , chanterelle , parasol mushroom ... Kompot - soft drink made by boiling water and mix of fruits ( sugar is optional ) - can be served with those fruits or without them. Kompot ( heroine ) - its slang for Poppy steam brew ( with contain heroine - crude way of extracting it from Poppy plant)

Personally i go mushroom foraging quite a lot but im not even eating it most of the time, i give them mine grandmother ,uncle or neightbors. I like to eat only specific ones like: "Panienki" "Bździuch" "Kania" and "Rydz" some of them have different names depends where are u living. I dont imagine back to hause without full boot of mushrooms. When i went to high school i used to go mushroom foraging with class mates.

Disco polo - the name comes from ‘pole’ - the field. Literally the entomology of that name means - disco on the field, so disco for villagers, people from the country, for simple people who working hard on the field and in the evening they are looking for the simplest kind of relax

We do collect mushrooms from the woods ALL the time and in massive volumes. And in McDonald's there are pickles. Ogórki kiszone (gerkin -DE) taste different. Pickles - vineger used, ogórki kiszone - only water, salt, spices like koper and chrzan (horse raddish) and fermentation. No vineger.

"Proszę" does mean all of it indeed :) Meaning depending mostly on the context not intonation. And those are not your typical gherkins pickled in water with vinegar and spices, those are traditional polish "ogórki kiszone" pickled in water and salt solution with some dill and garlic. To be honest i havent seen those in any other country apart of polish shops ofc.

11:13 Kompot in English is compote (google translate). It is a drink. A form of cheap heroine popular in 80's in Poland was also called kompot (it was made by boiling whole poppy plants).

[@sytrostormlord3275]

11:00 Kompot is a home made drink made of fruit juice (strawberries, plums, apples, red/black currant - sometimes few of those, sometimes only one) and water... usualy these fruits would be cut into smaller parts, put into water in big pot, and whole things would cook just below boiling temperature.... once cooled down to room temperature kompot would be served to drink... But from all i know, kompot is also a name for extract created in XX century in 70's by chemistry students of Gdańsk Univestity of Technology. Name "kompot" was probably used by inventors to mask their mischivious doings with innocent name. it might also have similiar color to fruit based drink (as depending from used fruits kompot can have color from dark red to light brown)

"Kompot" is a polish slang term meaning poor-quality, crude, and often polluted version of heroin, aka "polish" heroin.

many poles are going on "mushroom picking" or something like that some people do that for fun 1. you need to know where you can find many nice mushrooms usually it's a forest 2. you need to know when to look for them because there are regular mushroom pickers that can start looking for them on 5am and they won"t leave much 3. prepare yourself always take rain shoes or similar ones so insects won't eat you up put socks on pants or whatever take with yourself a basket or 2 for every person and a little knife 4. enjoy it's about walking the forest, breathing the air, and looking for mushrooms that you later take home and eat or dry them so in winter you can use them to make a soup or bigos or some people even pickle them also if you have a lot then you can share with family or friends but if you've never went on grzybobranie then you are not a pole

You just go into forest walk and let your mind rest for few hours. A bit like hiking but with some extra bonus. And you need to carry mushrooms you foun somewhat - thats what buckets are useful for. ps: Those mushrooms are way better than supermarket ones.

@Rob Reacts it will be a great investment for your video series and immersion if you take a little time like 1-2 hours to go through a lesson of Polish alphabet. It will be even more cool and immersive when you read. In England there was a great vowels shift... If you learn vowels in Polish, you will also be able to read phonetically correct Italian, Spanish, German, and basically all languages who gave the pronounciation closer to each other. Secondly you will learn how to read letters that do not exist in English. For example we do mot have X V and Q. They are innemglish words only. On the other hand we have Ć Ś Ń Ó Ź Ż Ę Ą. Last, but not least, you will know double sign consonants. It will not be confisimgfor you anymore why we have sometimes so many consonants in a row. Actually some sounds are written with 2 letters. That sound like a letter that is a mox of these 2: Sz, Rz, Cz, Ci, Si, Ni, Dz, Dzi, Dż, Dź,

My parents would wake up on Saturday at 4.a.m. get into the car and go mushroom foraging... once they'd get back at noon, car would like just same... whole trunk filled with mushrooms, along with few other baskets/buckets inside the car... Most of mushrooms would be pickled (if you haven't tried pickled mushrooms - you need to add it to check list, next time you'll come to visit poland), fried, dried (dried mushrooms are a perfect addition to any sauce or soup...). Fresh mushrooms could be used to make mushroom soup - especialy one seasonal soup is realy popular and can be found in most restaurants: Chanterelle soup (Zupa Kurkowa, Zupa z Kurek, Chanterelle translate to Polish word: Kurka, which also means "litte chicken"). As these mushrooms naturaly grown from June to October, Summer//early Autumn is probably best time to visit Poland, if you want to taste delicious soup.

This is a truth known throughout the universe. And a quote from the movie "Kochaj albo rzuć". The bedding with the dinner plate probably contains a "minced cutlet".

Arround 2000 or maybe a little later, general public music taste shifted from Disco Polo into Pop music and other genres and it's role now, is mainly reduced to weddings, disco's etc. Currently people listening to Disco Polo are often seen as people with bad music taste (young ones) or just old generations (many Elderly citizens likes this music).

I'd say the more educated people from more urbanized areas, the less popular disco polo is. At my wedding we had no disco polo and people were dancing like crazy all night - although many will say that disco polo is a necessity at this kind of party. Personally I just hate this kind of "music" - usually it's just a simple beat and a really tacky lyrics about big boobs or having a lot o money. Sometimes it just got really obscenic, and sometimes just purely idiotic. There are some songs that are unharmful, with a bit more complex music and lyrics, but they are a rarity. Mostly it is a music garbage in my opinion. But when you're drunk, you have no music taste and you just want to mindlessly pass your time I guess it's the easiest way to do this with disco polo...

7:43 maybe a reference to spanish "Amigos?", but replay is" thank you, i prefer bigos", i also don't understand what author had in mind....

[@maciejsobanski1436]

you get bucket and go to forest for mushrooms, but here you have car of "forest mashrooms". We prefer such instead of this white mashrooms you mentioned (but still use them coocked or raw). In poland we like picking mashrooms in forests. sometimes result is like in this meme.

[@MrSztyrlic]

There is the last line of this meme with English "pardon", "please" etc. vs Polish always "proszę" missing. It goes "ENGLISH: I slept with your sister. I messed up. I'm sorry. Can we get past this? POLISH: Proszę?".

9:00 The last one is Mielony, probably minced pork meat, Disco Polo - noone listen, everyone knows the lyrics of the song Kompot: its "juice" from boiled fruit, because it's not regular "JUICE" and the colour is confusingly similar: "Polish" heroin (also kompot and compote in drug culture slang) is a crude preparation of heroin made from poppy straw. It is an opiate,[1] used recreationally as a psychoactive drug. And Thanks for This video, all time i have fun from your reactions :)

Mushroom foroging: My dad does that. It's a cultural thing as well. These murshooms are prepared as if they were shop-bought. The "prosze": It is true. It also depends on the tone and circumstances I haven't seen the carpet whacking being done in years. My theory is that this practice stopped ever since the vacuum cleaner arrived. Nah, previous episodes were better.

5:29 It's advertise on PLL LOT airline (polish national airline) :)

[@RobReacts1]

Thats clever to put adverts on planes that travel 30,000 feet in the sky :D haha

[@AmartharDrakestone]

By the way, "lot" means "flight". "Clever" name for an airline.

[@SzaraSzarancza]

@@AmartharDrakestone LOT is not that much different from adding word "Air" in the Airline name. ; )

[@Krokmaniak]

2:20 I do. As well as most people I know. Also I enjoy foraging but I don't like eating them so I just give them away

[@sytrostormlord3275]

4:20, the proper english sentence the should be on the meme: When neighbour you don't like comes by to chatter/gossip. The image that's used for meme is probably a part of known paiting from XVIII-XIX century, but I personaly don't know either name or painter.

[@TroPtyN]

One mistake again: not "pierogis", because "pierogi" is plural form. One "pieróg" and many "pierogi". More easy to use will be "polish dumplings".

[@robertwolek3776]

The carpet guy is Mariusz Pudzianowski. Google who it is and you'll understand the meme :)

[@jacek-jan]

There is opposite: English: switch Polish: włącznik, wyłącznik, rozłącznik, przełącznik, łącznik and so on. English: to swich Polish: włączać, wyłączać, przełączać, zmieniać, łączyć, zamieniać,

Poland is “no boots at home country”, so all rugs must be clean. Cases like buying new rug, to hide old rug under are unacceptable.

Polish language is phonetical - it means the same characters are always pronounced the same (with minor exceptions and 2 or 3 character sounds) Ą actually sounds quite similar to "oh" or like the o in "joke". Also the last vowel in french pronunciation of croissant. Ę is quite harder to find in English (maybe even non-existent), the closest sound similar to ę is the -en part in words like lent, experiment, send, bent, but without touching your hard palate with your tongue. They're both nasal vowels so if you have cold you're most likely to mispronounce these as -on (want or try to say "joke" holding your nose - it'll sound somewhat like "junk") or -en (as mentioned above) Here's how you pronounce 2-character sounds (simplified) sz - sh cz - ch rz - like j in french based words: jury, Jean, Jaques dż - J like in Jenny, just, jalapeno, or like dg in hedge ch - h like in Hedgehog

[@icyrain123]

Jalapeno is from Spanish. J in Spanish isn't "dż", but "h", and jalapeno is pronounced as "halapenio"

[@artij1]

@@icyrain123 Ah right... I took the "Trailer Park boys" pronunciacion as an example, apparently :D

[@abukes01]

Oh boy Disco Polo, you're gonna go into the deep end of just being Polish if you decide to delve into the subject of this particular music genre lol

[@kondziu6668]

I love to pick mushrooms but I don't like to eat them xD Collecting mushrooms is a form of relaxation like riding a bike

[@orlenc8142]

Yea man, every year i try go holidays in september/august, for two weeks, just for mushroom foraging, always to forests near my hometown. How you think, we have that many mushrooms, for tasty pierogi. We don't normal white mushrooms, to pierogi. The joke about gypsy gun is funny, but you need to have a gypsy in neighberhood, who trying steal from you every single day, to understand this type of jokes.

Disco polo is polish version Disco. Very popular, but also synonymous with kitsch and bad taste.
