Yes, obviously.
Sure, probably good. Mushrooms would also probably be good.
Some sort of mashed potatoes, well seasoned. Maybe some brussels sprouts or something green with a bit of crunch and texture.

For the authentic 90s-00s roadside cafe experience, it should definitely be pork, no egg, but either a tomato and a melted Russian cheese (I think it's a Soviet/post Soviet version of Tilsiter) topping or a mesh pattern of locally produced Provencal mayo. Sides should be crinkle cut fries and a generic cabbage carrot salad.

On a serious note, how bad is the bad power/heating bill situation looking in your respective countries? I'm getting a vibe that there's little potential for actual unrest, but elections could be a bloodbath of protest votes.

Also, you were just the goon I was looking for. Can you tl;dr me current stage of the PiS spyware drama and your parliamentary inquest?

There’s a senate inquest going, since the opposition has a slim majority there. Sadly, the senate’s inquiry doesn’t have prosecutorial rights, and can’t obligate anybody to anything. PiS is ignoring it, but they’ve also blocked an independent security expert from a military academy from testifying by threatening him with who knows what.

The parliament inquiry is actively pursued by Tusk and it seems there’s currently an even split for/against. Paweł Kukiz, a burnt out alcoholic rock star and once political darling, now PiS’s whore, turned the table on them and promised his vote in exchange for the chairman’s seat and scope extension so that POs use of invigilation tools is also within it. PO is fine with that. We’re now waiting for defections to either kill the inquiry or kick poo poo off.

I’d hazard a guess that in EE you mostly would not have sauce because of the breading. Some horrible 90’s roadside bar’s would sometimes attempt a cream and mushrooms sauce.

As a kid I remember these would produced en masse for a family gathering - you’s get mashed potatos and a tomato or a piece of salad with. The thing is the babcia’s would churn out like 50 of these bad boys for the whole family and bring them out in a miednica (an oval bucket you’d normally do you clothes washing in because no one would own plates that big)

In Warsaw, traditionally they’re done super simple - pork, breading, mashed potatoes and either mizeria (fresh sliced cucumber in cream with sugar) or peas and carrots. You can grab a plate at a milk bar for 3 EUR.

I expected there to be differences but I’m shocked by what I’m seeing. Mayonnaise would never occur to me. Also, in the Rhein-Ruhr region, chicken is the default, which I don’t think even exists in Poland (not to be confused with chicken kiev, which does, albeit not in a form where you use a wooden hammer to smash it super flat).

Mayo on those is a (gross) Latvia/Baltics thing. I didn’t mention it myself mostly because I don’t eat mayo, although I also didn’t interpret the question as to how this is served traditionally.

Also the narrative by PiS was absolutely hilarious:

What is Pegasus, you mean the game system (NES clone), right? :smuggo:
There was no Pegasus anywhere, that's fake news
There was Pegasus, but it was used against criminals and only a few people, they were bad (this was actually reported by Kaczynski himself)
We didn't use Pegasus a lot, like no more than a few hundred people (reported by the most broke brained and dumbest PiS guy of them all, Suski).

There are a couple of confirmed cases reported every week or so, including spying on prosecutors not aligned with the party line. The Supreme Audit Office also reported quite a few of illegalities and irregularities, but lol at it being prosecuted right now.

I think the standard way at my place was:
Pork - floured, egged, breaded; no extras on the meat usually - sometimes a slice of cheese on top at the end of frying (kids love melted cheese everywhere right) and I think there was a pineapple slice under the cheese like once or twice in my life
Boiled potatoes; sometimes puree/mashed
Either tomatoes with chives or cucumbers; with either some cream, or greek yoghurt

God, why? There is already an egg there. Double cover it if you want.
Edam and mushrooms should be breaded and fried separately.
Another shnitzel. Lacking necessary schnitzels you might use potatoes, potato products, bread or brioche. They should be served with bit of butter and small wedge of lemon. Mayonnaise and ketchup are fine in brioches and utterly unacceptable with mashed potatoes. Vegetable side salad might be used to lighten the mouth feel of schnitzel and potatoes, but pickles work as fine and are not silly superfluous side salad.

When the viewpoint is laughably disguised excuses for neo-colonialism along with "why did you get in the way of our Serbian brothers!?" [genociding] there is little point in giving it much air.

And, frankly, the idea that Russian PoV is underrepresented is ridiculous, and ignores how the Western media has largely adopted Russian frames on everything and failed to point out blatant lies.

Somehow laughable lies by a dictator are more important than this:

And the condiments, these would go onto the meat or as a side for the fries?

burger bun or white bread. On the meat. Ketchup or ketchup and mayo mixed together for the fries. Sour bread's too fancy for the midwest. bread selection is not great here unless you bake it yourself. I would put a light colored cheese like provolone or swiss on it.

Honest question: why are so many people defending/excusing Russia itt American? Did Trump broke so many brains there?

Honest answer: us Americans have been subject to our own imperial propaganda for a very long time, about how every horrific intervention was good, how every small nation we blew up and privatized had it coming. Most of it has been about the Cold War/the superficial role of the US as lord protector of capitalism and freedom, as you can imagine. It can be difficult once peeling all that back and rejecting it to not to swing some ways (there are fine gradations of t his) in the other direction and just take for granted that whatever political faction the US is superficially supporting in whatever conflict, is simply a puppet of the American Empire and is just functioning as a vector for American imperialism over the people of the region. I don't think there's a ton of pro-Russia (there certainly is some) as much as (well-deserved, perhaps slightly mismanaged) intense anti-America sentiment.

My take tends to be that it's a lot less well-manicured than that, that the US deep state is not that infinitely competent, that we're mostly just flailing out shortsightedly, not perfectly capturing our proxies, but the impulse is there.

My feelings are a lot more complex than this, sorry for the clumsy wording.

Friend, many of us here grew up in the russian informational field and are super aware of the historical beefs and grievances of the military grandpas ruling Russia mixed with the nationalist mythology passed from generation to generation by taxi drivers and babushkas that are translated from the untreated minds of the generals straight to narratives on state television. You don't have to trawl through 20 year old articles to do it, Putin, Patrushev and Medvedev wrote fairly recent articles about how Ukraine is a wayward child and it's Russia's moral mission to be a Christian state against the woke ungodly mobs. Frankly the constant reechoing of their deranged ideology is loving tiring enough, you don't have to take their thinly veiled lies at face value and proceed to analyze them in addition to that. You can instead base your knowledge on their actions for the past 20 years and dunk on them as evil people that they are.

Look, I know NATO despite all intentions is not really a saintly group of nations unified in search of world peace but here we have one country threatening to conquer another country. Also, they already invaded part of it few years back. No one threatened Russia, there would not be any conflict if not for Russia. It's as clear cut as a modern war could get. Going 'well ackshually' on the subject will be met with jeers.

I think that tendency does exist, but personally I do think that while Russia is a worse/more openly brutal country than the US, as an American it's reasonable for me to prioritize scaling back my own country's imperialist ambitions rather than focusing on the decisions of a country I can't do much about. Like yeah if the US can prevent Russia from messing with Ukraine in a way that doesn't come with any blowback, great, but in the real world blowback from meddling in Eastern Europe arguably already got Trump elected in 2016, and also 'see, US imperialism is good and just after all' is a scarier slippery slope to me than Russian incursions in Ukraine. Like it or not, US imperialism has a much higher body count over the last few decades than Russian imperialism, even if only because the US has had more opportunity.

I'm not even really an isolationist who wants to dismantle NATO and pull the US out of Europe entirely, but I think Ukraine's basically none of our business. People like to point out how massive European economies are compared to Russia's, so let Europe take the lead if they want to.
