kisiel is sort of fruit jelly, but it won't set, it will stay half-liquid-like, but rather thick. Nowadays kisiel is rarely made traditional way (from fruit), instead people buy instant potato starch + synthetic aroma and colour stuff.

They call it "kiisseli" in Finnish. My dictionary gave these translations in English:

cream
dessert cream
fruit soup
jelly
thickened fruit juice

That sounds like one of the worst desserts I have ever heard.

fancy that; I wonder if the Ugro-Finnish (or how d'ye call this language group) picked it up from the Slavic, or vice versa..

(or we both got it from a different source?)

it's actually not bad (generally sweet and sour and fruity), especially if it's made from real fruit and you have it with some vanilla-cream topping, and maybe with fresh fruit dipped in it.
I like it warm/hot, but some people prefer it cool/cold.

Finno-Ugric. The word kiisseli or kisiel or whatever probably has Slavic roots, but it's a pretty common dessert here, especially in retirement homes because it's cheap and the old people don't taste a shit.

Sushi is fucking good. I could eat some each day. Too bad it costs too much... Each time I eat some with someone, I always eat fast so I can get the most I can...

Do we sticky this thread?

Favorite food?

I dunno really. I just eat food.

As long as it's not revolting. I'll eat it.

I do however have a taste for bison meat. Hummus is good. Um.. I like a lot of stuff. A good non-obscure/weird/etc home-cooked meal is soul food for me.

A few things that fall under the category of revolting IMO, are as follows:

-Alfredo cheese sauce, this includes fontina cheese as well (I worked in an olive garden... don't ask D: )

-Squid of -any- kind

-Eggplant

-Chitlins

-Haggis

-Feet from -any- animal

-Pickled eggs

-Tripe, or pretty much anything from an animal that's not conventionally eaten.

I can't think of any more off the top of my head, but I know there are more.

I figure not in a Polish agro-tourstic country house. (though this one's not truly Polish but Kaszub/Kashoeb/something)

SniperP, so I figure you're Polish?

I have no frigging idea what the 'ramen' thing is.

Burnov · Post by **Burnov** » Sat Dec 17, 2005 3:25 am

Ramen = dehydrated oriental noodles, essentially.

However, the only ones that are even worth a pint of piss are those Sapporo Ichiban Yaki Soba noodles.

My fuck. Those things are good.

Way too much salt though. I don't eat them that often. I feel like I'm preserving my internal organs with all the salt you get in that stuff.

Well, I guess kisel was what I thought it was. But that's not really food, it's more of a drink or dessert - at least I've never done anything but drink it (EDIT: Thus assuming that I've never had a taste of the non-traditional over-starched jelly-stuff). Anyways, on subject of slavic, ehm, things; I'd like to know how to make kvas.

Kashluk · Post by **Kashluk** » Sat Dec 17, 2005 10:48 am

I had no idea what ramen was either. I guess it's some sort of congoid-ghetto-blasta thing only, of which us whiteys are blocked out. I sometimes drink my kisel/kiesel/kiisseli/whatever as well. And I usually put some cold milk in it, greasy and cold, yummy.

I guess ramen just isn't marketed much in E.Euro/Scand.

It is kind of a poor person thing - including college students and
druggie degenerates.

$1 US = 3-7 packets of the low end kind.
Add SPAM! It's a salt extravaganza!

It also works well mixed with chili.

I don't know about Eastern Europe or Scandinavia, but not in Finland at least.

I've eaten a lot of noodles during my existence but I've never encountered the word ramen on them packages.

I haven't yet had the pleasure to taste this delicacy, but I've heard it's quite similar to our local Mykyrokka, so it must be awesome.

which kind of? "kwas" /kva:s/ is basically 'acid' or just sour substance, or the sour quality of something, so you gotta be more specific bro.
