Aren’t the Dutch the tallest people?
They were tall before a medieval diet which was 80% carbs
Like the same as they are now
A medieval diet was 80 percent carbs?
Bread and sadness
and beer
Short Nord gang, very rare
Wheat derivatives and sadness
Yep my source on that is some French historian who wrote a book on daily life in medieval England
What book?
They must have been hard working though.
English food is some of the most depressing stuff on the planet
Pepe Le Peu

@ThisIsChris ehhhhh Poland and Russia are pretty similar culturally, just don't tell the Polish boomers that
A lot of Polish food are copy pasted from Russia or Ukraine
Idk why I said he's French I read it like four years ago
@Jacob my experience with Russian food was a lot of cold fish
Recommend though
Dude burritos are copy and pasted from Taco Bell
Pierogi came from Russia, Borsch came from Ukraine, the list goes on @ThisIsChris
As an old-stock British American, most Eastern European countries seem uh. Pretty similar.
With Polish/Hungarian it was peirogi kabasa and less cold fish
The biggest difference I can think of is the catholic/orthodox thing
I like American food

It's just plain good
At least that’s how it seems to an Anglo-Celtic non-Slav
I have been taught how to squat properly by a Serbian friend tho
I have Russian family in law
And they fit in v well
But they're not Orthodox
@ThisIsChris Pierogi were definitely taken from the east. Also, "kiełbasa" is just the Polish word for sausage. Americans tend to think it's a specific variety, but it isn't.
Non-Russian people and Russian people can learn to get along very well! *cough cough Catherine the Great cough cough*
I'm not sure if I can think of any original Polish food
I’m probably the only person here who had an incredibly confusing southern baptist/Buddhist upbringing
Gołąbki are a pretty big Polish food, but those are golubtsi in Russia
