      Same. And it was a video about cooking that was recommended and I never watch cooking stuff so it’s a real mystery. I really like her though so it was a good recommendation.

    Hi Mole!
    I, too, was blessed by the algorithm and am happy I got to know you! :)
    A little pro-tip for these kotlety (called "mielone" in Poland): after you portion and form them, roll each one around in some breadcrumbs for an extra crispy shell.
    Off-topic: "little mole" would be "krecik" in Polish and there's an oldschool cartoon about one and his various adventures (originally "Krtek" in Czech).
    Don't ever change and keep on posting!

    Thank you for visiting us! I highly recommend trying to make the cabbage yourself, it is a HUGE difference if its homemade or store bought. Im sure there are many recipes you can find, but the easiest is to put salted pork fat on the bottom of the pot, then fresh fermented cabbage on top(hapukapsas), and let it slow cook on the lowest heat possible for hours, until the cabbage becomes nice and soft and well stewed. Salt to taste, though the pork fat should have enough salt. If you are cooking with gas, make sure there is ventilation so the gas doesnt become dangerous in a small apartment, ok? Especially when cooking for very long periods of time. Stay safe.

    What a random thing in my feed :P
    A few nitpicks. You're supposed to soak the bread crumbs before incorporating it into the meat. I've personally never seen bread crumbs used, but just plain old stale white wheat "bread", soaked either in milk or water for like 10...15 minutes. Remove from liquid, squeeze out the excess liquid, crumble in your hands. I guess you can use store bought bread crumbs, you just need to be more specific with the liquid, since you can't wring it out. Or maybe you can, I dunno. Secondly, many people like to pre-fry the onion (no browning, slow and low just 'til it's translucent). Thirdly, some people think the onion is the actual secret ingredient in kotlets. You might even try 1:1 ratio of ground meat to onion if you want really good kotlets :P Just make sure it's chopped fine and pre-fried.
    Concerning that jar of "Praekapsas", you're supposed to heat it up before eating it and it's usually eaten as a side to just plain old boiled potatoes. Yum yum.

Maybe one day you could visit Poland/Szczecin, I am sure you will like it, and the people are awesome, and the food is magical, hmmm, how I miss it. Try pierogi and the soup Barscz, and Paszteczik, oh, and smal fish in canes called Szprotki.

    Mole! Pro tip I always urge for when you are traveling away from home or especially on longer trips: have a smartwatch with gps and emergency call function. If you ever lose your belongings it can literally save you. You can also have emergency medical information, emergency fall and crash detection, and credit cards saved on it for food or travel expense.
    A secondary cell phone also isn't a bad idea but if you lose your primary, you've likely lost that, and it won't keep health tabs, so it's easier and more convenient to just wear a watch. Safe travels!
