There were so many Polacks* around where I grew up (see “Hamtramck”) that I didn’t realize “Polack” was considered derogatory. They told the best Polack jokes and referred to each other as Polack. Must be like “nigger”; an ordinary word everyone understands – but some can use the word, others can’t. Comes under the 1st Amendment.
Pierogis, kielbasa, various meat dishes, karpatkas … and paczkis. Oh, yes – paczkis. Worth the trip down Joseph Campau and the bakeries along the way (if the muzzies haven’t shut them down).
Polack: an anglicisation of the Polish masculine noun Polak, which denotes a person of Polish ethnicity and typically male gender.
Consumption of paczkis on Casimir Pulaski Day is a big thing in Chicago, according to the crazy Polack I used to work with. It might even be true.
October of 68, central highlands of Vietnam, I was with the 4th ID. I’m white, a 19 year old young black man, Aldon had my 6 and I had his. We had a black foul mouthed pos transfer to our “group”. Aldon said to me one day, Joe, now that’s what we call a nigger. I will never forget that moment. May Aldon’s soul be at rest.
There’s scum in every race
paczkis…omg. Heavenly. Being mostly Hungarian, our dishes also included stuffed cabbage and stuffed peppers…and the bread big, round brown loaves yellow inside from the dozen or more eggs in the recipe.
We’re all coming to dinner at your house, Jean.
Oh, what a party that would be!
