Poland has achieved a lot in the last 30 years. Really nice. My sister was in Warsaw 2 years ago. Me 25 years ago in a Polish town on the border. No comparison.

[@trailblazinpeppers]

We have enjoyed our time in Poland a lot.

Well that was beautiful and peaceful and safe. Maybe because something isn't there that is there in other European countries.

Happy New Year to you all. Mulled wine flambéed with rum and brown sugar is called Feuerzangenbowle in Germany.

[@trailblazinpeppers]

The city was German till 1945 and called Breslau. In 1945, 650,000 Germans were expelled from the city. It is the largest city on Earth, whose entire population was expelled. It was the third-largest city of the German Empire after Berlin and Hamburg. Everything built there before 1945 was built by Germans. The city was German-speaking since around 1200-1300. The descendants of the Slavic founders of the village from before 1200 were Germanized, and expelled in 1945, too. Before the Slavs settled in Silesia (the region in which the city lies) in around 400-600, Silesia was inhabited by East Germanic tribes. All Nobel prize winners from the city's university were Germans, and none was Polish. A look on a political map of Europe from before 1945 helps.

Thanks for all this info! 😄

This cheese is made in Podhale, a mountainous region. This cheese is called oscypek. It's originally made from sheep's milk, so it is available from spring to autumn. It's a regional product protected by European law. Therefore, in winter cheese made from cow's milk cannot be called oscypek. The name 'serek górski - mountain cheese' was invented.😉 You have to try the combination of cheese and cranberry sauce. This combination is the most delicious.

[@trailblazinpeppers]

Thanks for all that cool information.

Halva is made from ground sesame seeds but it could be made from any seed such as sunflower and others...

[@trailblazinpeppers]

It was an interesting taste. We were not fans.
