[…] • Smacznego! Eating Polish – plum crumble […]

This is good and interesting article. However, I strongly suggest that the title be changed:

• Smacznego! Eating Polish – plum crumble; suggest that “Smacznego!” be dropped.

“Smacznego!” is not recognized in elegant Polish. In the fifties, kindergarten teachers would tell us before lunch: “Smacznego dzieci!” We were supposed to answer “Dziekujemy Pani”. Our teachers also advised us that ‘good upbringing required that we kept our hands under the table or behind our backs’. This truly was a ” peoples’ Savoir Vivre ” and my family was terrified when they heard of those tips and of “Smacznego!”. “Bon appétit!” just does not translate into literally Polish.

I would like to contribute to your cause but am not pleased with the food part. I do not need to purchase a cook book but would enjoy having occasional recipes published on your site.
I am a sybirak and my mom left me a hand written cook book she titled (Przepisy nowoczesnej kuchni z roku 1933 od p Wasilewskiej) She compiled this in 1948 in Koja Uganda. My polish is not what it used to be so it is difficult to translate.
Please post individual recipes and I will be your supporter. Some titles in the book are:
Piernik doskonaly —Zupa Rybna,—Tort cytrynowy ITD.

I was a student of Professor Koloski at the time when he was in Katowice. It has been an amazing experience to hear his voice again.
I do remember the times he talked about in the interview, but also the way he taught American literature here.

Just discovered your podcasts and absolutely love them! One correction – the first European country to give the vote to women was Finland in 1905. Dziekuje bardzo!!!!!!

Where have you been all my life?! Finally an English language forum to satisfy my passion for Polish culture.

Thank you for breaking the mold of requiring Polish fluency to participate in Polonia.

Polish soprano Maria Knapik is the lead in Madama Butterfly – Pellegrini Opera’s one-time production on Saturday, September 22 in Ottawa. Visit www.pellegriniopera.org for more information.
Perhaps you may be interested in interviewing Maria – one of the original sisters of the “Polish Von Trapp Family” from Krakow.
