          I was thinking this was fishy... but no, actually, it just takes the biscuit...

            Wait, is this actually fish and cookies, or is it like "fish and chips"?

                    Can "ciasteczka" be translated as "crackers"?

                      I think so. I don't think we distinguish between cookies and crackers in Polish...

                        It's very obvious to me that crackers=krakersy. Went to Google Graphics to see if they're not false friends, but everything's okay. Come on, they're salty, why would we not distinguish them?

                          crackers = krakersy (cracker = krakers). It is like chips = chipsy in Polish

                              I thought that plural "cookie" was "ciastka"

                                I would also say that, but the people that created that skill went with "ciasteczka". It's like a dimunitive of 'ciastka". "ciastka" work anyway.

                                  Ryby does not sound like the right word for fish and who eats fish and cookies together?
