Annetka, you said exactly what I was thinking to respond. The original question felt weird to the author because he was looking for a cut & dried answer, when "being" Polish or any other ethnicity is what is felt in the heart, learned through customs, traditions, culture, religion, passed down from generation to generation....and in our case Polish food. Thank you for such a thoughtful answer to a question not so weird after all. Carol Atkinson ISO Jagla, Mezydlo, Michalski, Zielinski **************Wondering what's for Dinner Tonight?
