Hah, most of them. :)
I'm not trying to nitpick, but commans are extremely important in Polish: To, co Polacy lubią
I'm not trying to nitpick too, but it's 'commas.' (It's just what if you've been studying English for the most part of your life and all this time have been saying 'commans'??? Then I HAVE to say it, right?)
Agree. I'm living in a student dorm in poland with a shared kitchen and I rarely see polish students cooking any vegetables :D
while Polish breakfast and supper can be, and of often is without vegetables. Polish dinner (or lunch) usually has a lot of it, especially if you count potatoes.
Soup, salad and potatoes are as essential to my understanding of dinner as meat is :)
Most Eastern European dinners consist of salad actually! My family and acquaintances in Russia always have salads before eating meat during dinner.

It sounds great, and it's a my husband's dream sure:) but in fact we eat that i can make for dinner in conditions of lack of time:) co zdążyłam, to i dobrze:) Time are changing.
Sounds American! But it has something deep fried, made of corn, and something with butter, right?
I feel called out :'> I live in Oklahoma, and because of where we are on the map, we can't decide if we're southern or midwestern. So I see a lot of cow meat, sweet tea and potatoes. and now I'm hungry.
No vegetables? How about golabki, kapusta, buraki, salata, marchew,pierogiz kwiasna kapusta, kapusta z grochem. We ate all those when I was a child.
So "Posilek" translates specifically to 'meal' but not food? I never really considered there to be much a difference between those two words. Meal is a word that isnt really used colloquially.
Yes. I guess it's not the most useful of words, but it's taught here... Anyway, for example "you should eat five meals per day" clearly does mean the word "meal" and not "food", so they're not the same.
The word meal is as likely to be used as the word food in English. As Jellei notes, they are not interchangeable. Food is what you eat at a meal.
Wait a minute, who eats five meals per day?? I'm legitimately curious. Are they very small meals, or do they have a very big appetite?
I guess it wouldn't, "posiłek bez warzyw" is not a sentence in Polish (no verb), so it should probably stay the same in English.
