So long Frank, and thanks for all the plops
What do you miss from your past that you'd also never like to see again?

That sounds like a bit of a contradiction

Was half tempted to do some long rambling variant on The Monkey's Paw but can't really be bothered

Peter Kaye would be good at this thread

there's plenty of things I miss from the past
but I don't want to revisit them because they might turn out to be a lot shitter than my memory of them, thus ruining everything. Eating a double decker after a decade was a bit like that.

But that could just be a change in taste

( mongychops, Wed 7 Feb 2018, 19:38, archived)

yeah, maybe I've changed
but I don't want my happy memories to be changed by my changing.

My mates shitting herself now that Krakow is expensive because the salt mine is 20 quid , she won't let me just pay for stuff, it ain't that dear in restaurants and that is it?

( mongychops, Wed 7 Feb 2018, 19:37, archived)

well, it can be a tourist trap so if you eat in the main square you'll play tourist prices
but step down any of the side streets and there are places for a third of the price. A pint will be between 1-2 pounds, a main course will be 5-6 quid.

Here's an average restaurant menu: zalewajka.com/menu/

Ta, I'll send her that, shut her up, I'm regretting agreeing to go now, I'd go down all the back streets and see where the working class like me go out , tbh I'd still stay in a hostel dorm or tent, don't bother me anyway

( mongychops, Wed 7 Feb 2018, 19:56, archived)

in that case you want a Milk Bar (Bar Mleczny)
it's the subsidized public canteens that sell the real Polish food for about 2 quid a portion. But you'll be playing roulette with it, since they deffo won't speak English.

Fuck it, I've done it in more likely to get fish places , the rest I'll eat , she won't go but I like that sort of trip

( mongychops, Wed 7 Feb 2018, 20:04, archived)

Fish is "ryba". Dodge that word and you'll be golden.

Japan was tough on me, but surprisingly most places have a mock up of the dishes so you can spot some fish

I translated that and I'm having this 'MILLED PORK COOPERATION, NATURE, SET salads

( mongychops, Wed 7 Feb 2018, 20:06, archived)

fucking brilliant
that's pork meatballs with mashed potatoes and chopped salad (probably grated carrot, grated beetroot, lettuce etc)
( Grrrmachine the indifference engine, Wed 7 Feb 2018, 20:11, archived)

I've had that before , lucky guess, I've had that in norway too I think

( mongychops, Wed 7 Feb 2018, 20:14, archived)

It's all standard european stuff
KOTLET SCHABOWY is just schnitzel, GULASZ is any meaty stew etc etc. It's just your typical meat and two veg.

All of those words mean "rib eye"?

Rib eye steak with green salad, tomatoes and chips, or potatoes and dip.
