It's odd to see cauliflower in place of broccoli. It's even odder to see potato chunks in a frozen vegetable medley.

I'd probably buy it if was available at my local supermarket though.

trick question, Americans don't eat vegetables

It's funny because there's an American stereotype that Eastern European countries eat a diet of potatoes, turnips, beets, pork, and pretty much nothing else.

I actually ate at a lot of Polish restaurants when I lived in England just to avoid British food. Also Polish specialty stores were the only place I could find sauerkraut on that wretched island.

And not nearly enough bread or cereals. (Grechka!)

Americans assume the Soviets stole all the bread and cereals when they left.

I remember there's this one brand of cherry leaf herbal tea I used to buy from a Polish food store in Manchester (along with rye bread, Christ almighty do the English not understand the joys of rye bread so it was impossible to find anywhere else) that is probably my favorite tea ever but I can't remember what it was called.

Nobody is in a celebratory mood right now, but still: happy 104th anniversary of the Estonian Declaration of Independence.

Couldn't help but think of how Putin could have just as easily said "Estonia" when giving his "Bolsheviks created Ukraine" speech. I'm glad that we are a member of NATO...

Yep. You guys got in just under the wire. Moldova can't be feeling good right now.

Sourdough bread is incredibly popular in Latvia, and this tasted nothing like what we make customarily. That said, we only bake rye sourdough bread traditionally, which has a hint of sourness to it, whereas this was wheat bread. Still, I’d expect wheat sourdough bread to have a hint of sour taste to it, rather than tasting like someone soaked wheat bread in pale lager and let it dry out.

Yeah, wheat sourdough tastes nothing like beer unless it's made really, really wrong.

In the late 19th century Polish immigrants to the US were considered good industrial workers by corporations and Chicago and Detroit were the largest industrial cities at the time.

There's a substantial number of Americans who still think most of Eastern Europe lives either in the 16th century or that village from Borat. You could probably convince them you can tie a donkey up next to any major legislative building in Moldova.
