I love polish dill pickles. They're way better than kosher dills.  :thumbup:

I could make an educated guess here but instead I'm going to ask.. What exactly are Polish dill pickles?

Polish dills are pickled for 2+ months whereas kosher dills are ready in a few weeks. Koshers are brined with kosher salt and water but polish pickles have vinegar and lots of garlic.

Ah, thanks. Think Holland knows the Polish variant too. Well, sorta. Gherkins put in a jar with, I think, a vinegar/water mixture and added mustard seeds, dill and other herbs. They're very nice indeed.

Um, the variant with the salt brined ones will probably never be a success here, I think.

Yes, the Holland variety sounds very similiar. I don't know why the kosher ones are more popular here. I haven't seen a jar of polish pickles in stores until very recently. So I buy 3 huge jars at a time because they store well.

The Polish dills sound like those big pickles you would get in a deli.

A cupboard was originally a simple board or table on which to place cups or mugs--recorded use of such a name dates back to at least the Middle Ages. For the last few centuries, "cupboard" has referred to a storage area enclosed by doors.

Bergen op Zoom, um, the stupid/arrogant city I reside in, has the oldest hotel of Holland. Supposed to be older than 1397 (at least that's what been said here)

http://www.hoteldedraak.nl/en/index2.htm
(oh, I hold no grudges against the hotel ofc.)

(Oh fart, *edit.. it's not meant to 'over-top' you, parts.. brain just made that connection reading your previous post here.)

The oldest in the place I live are human beings...........

Trees and houses all are younger.
And some policy about preserve the landscape seems to prevent us having trees older than I am.  :thumbdn:

That's what I do miss here, history in landscape, housing and trees.

Near where I grew up there were still a couple old growth trees from before the area was settled that where over 400 years old.  They were tucked away in a ravine in the north of the town next to mine owned by the Nature Conservancy
