As a Pole I can't understand the reddit-level sycophants that feel obliged to shill my cuisine. Shilling isn't even the right word, it's almost like people get off on the idea of displaying their 'culturedness', while insodoing completely disregarding what makes our culture unique in the first place. Polish food is alright. It's food. Whatever you have in your country can be just as good. What makes it special is it's utilitarian. Eaten by a people who've been fucked over more times than you can count, whose staple dishes have been the staple of the peasantry since the fall of rome. I'm sick of seeing these kinds of threads populated by americans with 4% slavic ancestry listing foods like they're stamp collecting. I don't mean to gatekeep, but the reason you guys like it is because it's made by someone who gave two shits about making it and it isn't a ready-meal. If you cooked for yourself and your family like that you'd find just as much enjoyment with any food that you cook, because that's all Polish food is. Carbs and protein, cooked in a specific way in some specific grandmother's kitchen. If this seems autistic to you just ask yourself how you'd feel about the hypothetical in which europeans, insecure about their american heritage, feel the need to constantly declare their love for chicken noodle soup and sweet potato pie. It's just depressing. You have more money, influence and opportunity than any of us in this godforsaken place and yet you spend your time fetishizing the rustic nature of those poorer than you, like how every upper class white girl heads off to uganda for a charity mission and is struck by 'how happy they all are despite the circumstances'. Poland is shit. The food is our mass opium, mountains of carbs, sugar and caffeine to dull the latent depression of every man, woman, and child east of the Oder.
