Great video! As a Pole, I was not aware that Milk Bars actually were set up much earlier than after 1945. Leniwe dumplings are actually covered by sweetened buttered breadcrumbs not just sugar :)

You made great material. The only thing missing is a mocking scene from the cult comedy Miś.

Bar Mleczny doesn't mean "milk bar"; that means very cheap restaurants for poor people. It's Mleczny because Polish people eat milk soup or drink milk for breakfast. That is national name, can't be translated to english

did…did you watch the video at all?

[@mroshe13]

@@petrav did you read my coment? I'm Polish 🙂 Bar Mleczny means "cheap and poor quality meal"

[@pepkin88]

@@mroshe13 no it doesn't. You confuse the literal meaning with what the name stands for. Even you had to describe why it is call that. So it makes as much sense to call it a Milk Bar in English, as Bar Mleczny in Polish.

Closest to ordinal bar mleczny were kosher dairy restaurants. When Trotsky was in NYC he kept eating in one in his neighborhood. Polish socialists and cooperative promoters in late 19 century had Jewish influences that IMHO are responsible for the idea of bar mleczny (= dairy kosher restaurant that is not exactly kosher)
