Thank you for informing us about this, but I would imagine the majority of people in my region don't know that. Even a company that makes them calls them pierogies.

It's the one thing that us Poles are sometimes struggling with.

Also took a look at the website and I can say that in my opinion their products look appalling.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Today at 09:32:51 AM@Sir Lüc , is Tric'hard's post sufficient as a petition?

By the letter of the law I believe it is. Thanks for alerting me to it. I have split this off into a separate thread for clarity and await the required mick to send over the oath.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on March 13, 2026, 03:08:26 PMWhat do you suggest that's veg that I could try?

If I'm not wrong, being vegetarian is when you don't eat meat only, so I suggest any type of pierogi with a filling not made with meat as well, basically anything flour or potato-based without meat. I would also suggest making vegetable salad without meat (still a traditional Polish side dish even though it originated in Russia).

And I guess I was wrong, there are a lot of vegetarian Polish dishes, you'd have to look for them here.

I actually live in an area with a significant Polish-American population, so pierogis are often available fresh in our local supermarkets, even though we're a rural area.  My girls love them!  I do wonder what a good sauce might be for them, though, since I feel like they would benefit from something like that maybe.  Or maybe just something to accompany them like sauerkraut or sour cream or something.

In English, we usually use pierogis as the plural, even though it's not correct for Polish.  It's one of those things where being technically correct would make you sound pretentious, like the pronunciation of Barcelona.

Quote from: Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be on Yesterday at 03:36:56 PMOne other suggestion for the Baron: roast vegetable salad. Diced sweet potato, red onion, Brussels sprouts, and broccoli on a tray in the oven, toss with mixed greens. Use the leftover vegetables with eggs in a hash for breakfast one day on the weekend. Simple, versatile, tasty.

We do the roast vegetables and will often have them with eggs, although I'm not sure we ever have had them in a salad.  I wouldn't have thought of that -- I'd guess you have to dice them pretty small so that big chunks of veggies don't overwhelm your lettuce?

Quote from: Iason Taiwos on Yesterday at 07:25:59 PMI have never lost my love for the food I grew up on in Texas, most of which is impossible to find in Ohio. My local Walmart actually sells crawfish, (frozen, pre-seasoned and cooked), and while not as good as what you'd get at a live crawfish boil, it's okay. A few local Chinese restaurants serve crawfish, but advertise them as "baby lobsters". I could have live crawfish shipped to me from Louisiana, but it's too expensive.

I've never had a crawfish boil, but I've seen them in videos and they look amazing.

Quote from: Moinul Moin on Today at 07:16:35 AMThat are some popular Indian vegetarian foods that many foreigners enjoy trying.(Popular also in India)
Some great options include Paneer Butter Masala (a creamy cheese curry), Masala Dosa (a crispy rice pancake with potato filling), Vegetable Biryani (flavored rice with vegetables), and Samosa (a crispy snack with spiced potatoes). These are generally tasty and beginner-friendly.

We eat a lot of those things -- even before spending a good amount of time in India (a lot of it staying with @Béneditsch Ardpresteir !) we have loved Indian food.  There's a significant Gujurati population here, and one of my coworkers is Jain, so I've been fortunate enough to get to try a good number of things.  I should learn to cook more of it!

You travelled India too!Very amazing news to me as dwelling near India.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on February 21, 2026, 10:18:04 PMHas anyone been in contact with @Tierçéu Rôibeardescù regarding her request for assistance on an official email for the Royal Society? The response may have been delivered privately or this is not the right department but wanted to be sure.

Celebrating one month since this post. @Tierçéu Rôibeardescù was this request fulfilled or did you drop it?

Whereas, Talossa is a nation founded on principles whose citizens are committed to equality under the rule of law, as opposed to rule by strongmen and personalities, and

Whereas, swearing allegiance to a government appears to conflict with a citizen's Organic right to free expression; and

Whereas, committing to upholding the nation's constitution (Organic Law) is more in line with the ideals of a free and open people, and

Whereas, another version of this bill appears to be in limbo.

Therefore, be it resolved by the Ziu of the Kingdom of Talossa that Title E, Section 9 of El Lexhatx, which currently reads:

Quote9. The following text shall be known as The Oath of Talossan Citizenship:
From this day forward, I pledge my loyalty, allegiance, and fidelity to the Kingdom of Talossa and to His Majesty's government. I solemnly affirm that I will support and uphold the Organic Law of the Kingdom of Talossa, defend the realm against all enemies, both foreign and domestic, faithfully observe its laws, respect the rights and freedoms of all my fellow citizens, fulfill all my duties and obligations as a citizen of the Kingdom of Talossa, and humbly appreciate the benefits granted unto me by my King, most especially when those benefits take the form of Talossan currency.

shall be replaced in full with:

Quote9. The following text shall be known as The Oath of Talossan Citizenship:
From this day forward, I pledge my loyalty, allegiance, and fidelity to the Kingdom of Talossa and to its Organic Law. I solemnly affirm that I will respect the rights and freedoms of all my fellow citizens, defend the realm against all enemies both foreign and domestic, faithfully observe the nation's laws, fulfill all my duties and obligations as a citizen of the Kingdom of Talossa, and humbly appreciate the benefits granted unto me by my King, most especially when those benefits take the form of Talossan currency or national cuisine.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Today at 08:37:36 AMThis isn't the first time someone's made this mistake out of ignorance, and it probably won't be the last.  I don't blame this person -- how could they have known? -- but I do want to apologize for this breach on behalf of the Progressive Alliance.

We may want to sticky a post in the Immigration threads as public notice detailing the definition and the discouragement of broosking. This might be more likely to be read than the guide we share with each individual applicant. We have seen members of the old FreeDems and now a member of the PA conduct broosking so a highly visible reminder seems prudent.

Yesterday, the Comità of the URL was informed by Baron Davinescu that one of his party's members had broosked a prospective immigrant by providing them with a biased description of the Progressive Alliance. While it is certainly fair to chalk this up to the inexperience of the member in question and their ignorance of Talossan ethical norms, it does provide a clear example of the obsessive partisanship which has become increasingly present throughout the country.

While we in the URL believe in a Talossan political scene in which open, honest debate on principles, methods, and goals should be welcomed and encouraged, excessive partisanship can easily corrode such an atmosphere. This incident provides yet another argument for a more personalized, less-partisan form of politics, which we will continue to strive for.
