I may have already posted about this, but I'm acquainted with one of the actors who played a miner in the X-Men movie which shows Eric Magnus's childhood in Poland. Everyone was curious as to why they speak in Russian accents. Were the other actors Russian? Apparently not. They were pretty much all Polish, Polish-American, or Polish-Canadian. It's just that when they showed up and started speaking the unit director or what have you said it doesn't sound sinisterly eastern European enough and to speak Polish with a Hollywood-style Russian accent. It's terrible. Not because it's racist. Because I think our language does sound sinister when you apply the proper spin or say the proper words.

One of my favorite facts about the world is that most aluminum is mined from china and australia, shipped to iceland where it's refined by a mostly important polish labour force, then shipped to SE asia to be turned into cans airplane parts or siding or whatever.

Great start to the Sejm sitting - the two excluded PiS ex-parliamentarians tried to force their way into the Sejm building, fielded by PiS politicians. A brawl erupted with the Sejm guards. The first Sejm session is about to kick off so we’ll see how it goes.

 Well, this was a smashing success. Pictured, PiS member and Smolensk commission chair Antoni Macierewicz socking one by accident to his comrade ex-Sejm member Kaminski. Macierewicz was behind Kaminski and pushing him forward as they tried to force the Sejm guard and get Kaminski into the Sejm, but he slipped and welp. It has to be noted both Kaminski and Wasik can go into the Sejm at any point as ex-parliamentarians, just not through the main door - they need to get a day pass first. Kaczynski later admitted this was all played up for the media to get pictures, though I'm not sure this is the way they planned it.

In Finland it's this Sunday and next Tuesday when we eat these guys this Monday was also the remembrance day of our national poet, celebrated by eating his namesake pastry  so let's just say that it's a very calorie rich week

I love love a Finn comfortable enough in their own skin to contribute to Eastern Europe talk. Same goes for an East German. Technically the former is Northern and the latter is Central like most of us here. But who are we kidding if West and East are the only options?

armpit_enjoyer posted:That explains why i always felt a sort of kinship with the Finns You know I always thought that only the Irish could really understand what it feels like to be Polish and all the baggage we still live with to this day, but now that you mention it we could make a three member club with Finland. Also a separate club with Poland, Finland, Lithuania, Slovenia and maybe Czechia in terms of countries that don't really fit into any one box.

EE thread I need help. I am definitely a cereal > oatmeal person when it comes to breakfast. But I stopped with these products entirely largely because rye flakes, which were my favourite, disappeared from the shelves. I figured it was just changing tastes as people switched to corn flakes with even more sugar in them but apparently there was contamination and recalls a few years back? I've looked at crunchy muesli chunks with some fruit thrown in. It's a bit expensive but doable. Still the sugar content is as high as just eating cookies. There are some clear bags without added sugar but they go for like 30 zł for 350 g which is an exorbitant markup for not adding sugar. Any ideas?

There used to be 4 Baltic states after the WWI. Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland. But keeping with the eastern european tradition Finland decided to migrate away from being a Baltic state.

I ended up looking through a bunch of muesli packaging until I found some that wasn't loaded up with sugar. It's still 4 eur and a bit for 400g but oh well.

Schengen geht Brumm (you can change region in the top right): https://www.koro-shop.pl/organiczne-platki-4-zboza-2-5-kg (barley, oats, wheat, rye) https://www.koro-shop.pl/organiczna-baza-do-musli-z-nasionami-2-kg (a good mix) https://www.koro-shop.pl/organiczna-chrupiaca-granola-z-orzechami-1-kg (crunchy) Pure Rye flakes are out, though. I have never seen pure rye flakes being sold anywhere. I buy in bulk and it lasts a very long time. The only problem is that they often go out of stock for a while, so you have to watch them like a hawk sometimes.

Rye flakes are "razene pahuljice" in Croatian and I don't have problems finding them: https://www.biobio.hr/razene-pahuljice-proizvod-16972/ https://www.healthyfoodfactory.eu/rye-flakes-organic-500g-eko-jazo-product-7346/?ignore_lang_detect=1

Now that I'm looking for them I am finding some as well. https://www.muesli-muehle.de/Trockenfruechte-Nuesse-und-Cerealien/Kernige-Getreide-Flocken/Bio-Roggenflocken::173.html 4.36€/kg isn't too bad. e: 15.9€ for delivery to a neighbouring country is taking the piss a little. Anyway, I've found that physical stores are garbage even for something as trivial as Müsli nowadays. Order online in bulk, save yourself the hassle.

I was born in East Germany but have lived in the Western part of Germany most of my life now, do I get to post here, too? I need to lose some pounds, so I started with the oatmeal again, and it's always a pleasant surprise that you have so many options to make it taste great.

Finland has a historical connection to Eesti, but I suppose that has soured a little bit due to our alcoholic tourism.
