When I hear ‘Poland’, I think….

Posted by: Michał In: bits and bobs|so very Polish

Indeed, WHAT do you think? This is my new Twitter mini-poll.

All you need to do is to finish the sentence and pass it on on Twitter. Just remember to tag it by adding #polblog to your message so that I can find it and blog about it, of course. That’s if you are on Twitter (who ISN’T these days?).

If you don’t have a Twitter account, just use the comment box below to finish the sentence.

So far I’ve had two responses:

Lolly aka @blogtillyoudrop said: When I hear ‘Poland’, I think yummy Pieroggis (She also posted a link to her picture of pierogi)

Steve aka @ziemba said: When I hear ‘Poland’ I think of oscypek and kielbasa! (He also kindly illustrated his post with a pic of, well, oscypek – a smoked Polish highland cheese – and kielbasa, taken in Chicago)

So far then it’s all about food. Is there anything else?

Go on, post your nswer, pass it on, spread the word. And come back to see what people say.

And remember to follow the Polski blog on Twitter too.

UPDATE:

Here’s one more via Twitter from @catmindu: polish plumbers.. kabanosh, snow. (Hmmmm, as far as I am concerned, from now on snow makes me think of suspended tube and cancelled trains in south London, but that’s a different story… ;)

Please remember to hashtag your tweets with #polblog !

When I hear Poland, I think about the very special color the light has in summer afternoons in Poland.

“When I hear ‘Poland’, I think of people with honorable virtues; the folk music of the Gorale; religious conviction; my heritage.”
