All this food talk is making me hungry. I missed the Polsih festival so am going to the Ukie festival around the corner. They have perogi and golumbki too. And kapusta...not sure if the sausage is Polish but they have that too. My last two days of vacation and its raining.....poop!!!!!

Rdy, I sure hope it is not raining poop. After all the bird cams I watched this spring/summer, I can only imagine..... Hope you enjoy the last days of your vacation, no matter what the weather.

I grabbed a combo plate for me and my mom. Mom already ate so I had mine and here is the results on a scale of 1 to 10....10 being the highest.
peirogi 7
golumbki 5
Kapusta 7
Kielbasa...4...was more like a long weiner and tasted very dried out.
borscht 5 (after all of Piwo's talk I had to bring some home)
My Mom's beats them hands down.

I wasn't sure where to post this but it is food related so I chose here. This article made me howl with laughter! It's going to be so much fun to see how the Brits deal with all the Poles they now have. Lots of fun and games ahead, I think. news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/hampshire/5342000.stm

Scatts,
I agree with this paragraph in that article:
"We believe it's quite cruel to hurt the fish, to cut the fish and then to put this poor little thing back to the water, dying there somewhere lonely."
Just last night I got in a big argument over catch-and-release. If you hunt (however) then hunt for food, not for the pleasure of catching for catching's sake.
I hope the Poles can teach the Brits a thing or two, but more likely they (the Poles) will have to learn to deal with these cultural differences.

It is obvious for me that you eat what you catch, unless the fish is too small or too difficult to prepare (but your cat might eat it in such a case). To keep the number of species in some balance you have season both for angling and hunting. If I caught a carp somewhere I would love to eat it - what satisfaction!!
But I can imagine that Brits are shocked by the Pole's behavior, it may seem savage and uncivilized. I wonder what other things will come out???

But I must say that causing stress, pain or whatever to the animal for the reasons other then alimentary seem savage and uncivilized to me. Whatever that last word means. Which is not supposed to mean that the Polish anglers are all very humanist, not at all.

I don't go fishing, but still, I've never heard of a regulation requiring fish caught to be thrown back into the water!!
I thought the whole point of issuing fishing licenses was to control the amount of fish caught (and subsequently taken home with the person who caught them). And I also thought one of the main reasons to fish was to catch fresh fish to eat!

I thought the whole point of issuing fishing licenses was to control the amount of fish caught (and subsequently taken home with the person who caught them). And I also thought one of the main reasons to fish was to catch fresh fish to eat! So true...so true However, realistically here in the U.S. this is what happens : - fish caught and smaller than size permitted should be thrown back; most of the time they live; cats loose or licensee pays fine.
- fish caught over the legal limit are thrown back so licensee does not have to pay a fine.
- fish caught for "sport and fun" in polluted rivers (yep...there are those) need to be thrown back; certain stretches of the Hudson River (NY) come to mind.
- and sorry, Suzanne, some fishermen/women just like to fish...tie flies / cast / catch / release; to them fishing is a fine sport, not a trip to the supermarket.
Me...I always went fishing (in Lake Erie before it was so polluted) to put food on the table. Zooba, we brought my grandmother something called "Sheepshead" because there were no carp in the Lake Here is information on a record Drum, or Freshwater Sheepshead from the Ohio records: - 23.5 pounds
- 37 1/8 - inches - in length
- Sandusky River
- July 21, 2001
Now, that is one big fish! ;D My Dad and Mom always said "Grandma" made fish soup out of the "Sheepshead." Most of the time, certain of my children do the "catch and release" thing because they find fishing a good sport and, I guess, relaxing after a work day. GM
