Enjoying Polish Hospitality – Rather meets Wolviex

S.Al-Anizi · 29th July 2006, 10:15 PM

Thanks alot Rather, and thanks to our friend Wolviex, great post!

Its always fun and interesting going into museum storerooms and archives, you never know what you might find in there.

I knew Michal was a great guy but, as my daughter said, he is also a "hunk"

Poland has an amazing history: rich in tradition, culture and often tragic. It's weapon culture and the number of first-rate researchers into arms and armour are unsurpassable in Europe.
No visit to Poland is complete without a bottle of " Wyborowa" or, better, "Zubrowka". Better make it two bottles : now, when both Polish President and the Prime Minister are identical twins, nothing there should come in singlicates

@ariel -I am the fat one in the white shirt, Wolviex is the good looking one in the checkererd shirt. Just to make it clear..

That's what my daughter thought too

Ariel, knowing what goes into the Zubrowka I am not so inclined to even taste it, left alone drink a whole bottle of it. Fortunately, the photos above show plenty of other good reasons to go there.

Don't listen to him, guys! He sounds like a Chardonnay dude

After Armenian Brandy and Peruvian Pisco, Zubrowka is the drink closest to ambrosia (although Montenegran Loza and Romanian Tuika are not far behind....)
Gosh, I've been writing grant proposals far too long

I myself am a rakiya dude, but maybe you should tell everyone about an important ingredient in the Zubrowka (which I think gives it its name), and let them judge for themselves.

Interrupting your interesting discussion on vodkas, I would like to thank Norbert for his visit in Poland and in my museum. It was really great pleasure for me to guide him and his wife amongst treasures under my costody. It was great time I enjoyed very much and i'm looking forward to meet with Norbert again in the future. I'll be very happy to welcome anyone of you in my beautiful city and guide you in National Museum, just let me know if you plan anything

Thank you for this thread and don't bother yourself discussing vodkas

I can't wait till I'm there in September. Here's to hoping we can meet Michal.

And Zubrowka is just fine, nothing quite like it - in a good way.
