Not even stuffed cabbage?

Like cabbage dolma? I don't think it's uniquely slavic, nor particularly popular wherever it exists.



Maybe stuffed bell peppers, but probably not those either.

That was meant to be a response to the "nothing in common with Polish or Russian" part of the statement, not evidence of "Slavic" food. And I was being cheeky.
Ah, well.

Then there's more in common of course, like pierogi

Polish-Hungarian rift is basically official. The anti-race mixing comments, Orban’s outright pro-Russian stance and Hungary’s willingness to go the extra mile for Russian gas led to a total breakdown of the Polish-Hungarian anti-EU alliance. In Poland, only the far-far-right (the pro-Russian one) still maintains there’s some sort of a sacred bond between the two countries.

Both Poland and Hungary cooperated in sabotaging the EU’s drive to maintain the rule of law. There’s some hope now that Morawiecki, Poland’s prime minister, will back out of promoting the European far-right, especially since every politician he invited to Warsaw last year as part of the new European right revival drive turned out to be pro-Russian in the invasion of Ukraine.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.
Based on the above, how about a combination of mushrooms, olives and mayo?

There’s a mildly popular salad like that here. Mushrooms, corn, chicken, and mayo - sometimes changing meat, or adding olives, egg. Extremely vile poo poo.

Add some capers and mustard to the mix, chop everything all tiny, mix with the mayo and you've got yourself a very satisfying somewhat vegetarian sandwich filling. And use some proper funky-tasting funghi you picked from the woods behind your house instead of supermarket white button mushrooms.

Mushroom Exclusionary Eastern Europeans itt.

Good mushroom:

1. Oyster Mushroom sliced in wedges and fried a'la wiener schnitzel
2. Chanterelle in runny scrambled eggs
3. Field Mushroom wedges sautéed and tossed with lemon juice

Absolute masterclass
1. Red Pine Mushroom sautéed in butter with salt and pepper
2. Parasol Mushroom fried whole a'la wiener schnitzel (good luck not dying, since it looks abut the same like the deadliest mushroom of them all)

Give me none of any of the following (a.k.a. i reject my eastern european heritage):

- marinated slimy poo poo mushroom
- mushroom soup of any kind
- pedestrian poo poo like the dreaded common mushroom in any form


haven't tried truffles, don't care.

You forgot fresh porcini sliced over bruschettas, which are a killer aperitif. The fried parasol is honestly mundane and subpar(if it’s not fresh it’s like eating cardboard), esp given the risk of grabbing a lepiota muscata if you don’t know the difference.

Finland lies between east and west wrt mushrooms in that Karelians had more similar habits with Russians and were fond of milk-caps which require boiling to remove the bitterness. In the western parts milk-caps were generally not appreciated and the focus was more on boletes and chanterelle. This division isn't so sharp nowadays because many Karelians were evacuated during WW2 to the western Finland along with their culinary habits.

I meant fetching one that was a bit stale, not out of a shop (most vendors here don't touch them due to the risk of grabbing a killer one)

It's this time of year again. The Warsaw uprising was both fantastically heroic and ultimately criminal, in that it had no chance of succeeding. Around 200 thousand civilians were killed and Warsaw was turned to rubble. It's hard for me as a Pole born in Warsaw not to be extremely conflicted about this event.

The Russians were chasing the Germans back to Berlin. Poles in Warsaw knew that if Russia takes the city, the hard-won independence of 1918 after 123 years of servitude will be lost. Would there even be a Polish state, had the uprising not taken place? No-one knows, maybe it would have resulted in Poland being sucked right into USSR outright.

Post-war Russian propaganda perceived the uprising as anti-Soviet, so criticizing its leadership is often perceived as pro-Russian. I feel the decision to start the uprising was wrong, and followed a series of similar ill-fated uprisings (so-called January and November uprisings in the XIX century). It's also highjacked by nationalists, who try to use this anniversary as an opportunity to manifest their xenophobia (the flares visible in the August 1st videos are a sign of this - known from football stadiums where modern nationalism breeds).

In all this, the city sirens sounding at 17:00 every year on August 1st and everyone in the city stopping for a minute is a constant, and you're free to make of that minute what you will.

I actually have no ideas what the mushrooms are called in english, but edible Boletus(es?) are the superior mushroom option.


Also marinated shrooms are great.

I hated mushrooms for like 25 years. Not so much the taste, but more the consistency.
Except mushrooms fried in breadcrumbs for some reason.

My mother tho, she kept making mushroom soup every time when I visited saying "I know its your favourite!", after a while I just gave up protesting. So now I eat all kinds, and its fine.

I can take or leave mushrooms, I don't particularly care for them. I could go for a good leisurely mushroom or berry picking romp through the woods tho, ticks be damned.

I'm honestly somewhere between genuinely worried and morbidly curious as to what the start of the heating season and rising bills will mean for the Baltics. Well, Europe in general, but Baltics in particular. It probably won't be good at all.

I would guess fuel/gas rationing and in extreme cases mandatory power cutoffs at certain times. Also useless individual responsibility stuff like demanding lowered maximum temps in houses with no checks whatsoever.
