fine words butter no parsnips in Poland

Thank you for your comment frankgradus9474 but I dont understand "butter no parsnips in Poland" - maybe something was lost in a translation - cheers Rob

@@aussieeuropeantour4727 Fine words butter no parsnips: Here’s an old English proverb, dating from the 17th century, which means that fancy words and flattery alone will achieve nothing that is real and tangible. A similar phrase is ‘actions speak louder than words’, but why the apparently obscure reference to ‘buttering parsnips’? Well, when this phrase was commonplace, the reference was not obscure at all. Before potatoes were imported from America, other root vegetables, such as turnips and parsnips, were a staple of the English diet. Whichever way they were prepared, and especially if mashed, these vegetables were always better for the addition of some fresh butter, giving them a smooth and creamy texture as well as improving the taste. But, to paraphrase another saying, butter does not grow on trees, and neither for that matter do parsnips. Acquiring both commodities required some degree of effort, either in growing and harvesting the parsnips and churning the butter, or labouring to earn the money to buy them. It took action, not words, to put buttered parsnips on the table. The earliest known printed version of this proverb is in a 1639 English/Latin textbook, which reads: “Faire words butter noe parsnips, verba non alunt familiam” (words no family support). My point is that, in Poland hard, honest, effective work is highly valued, whereas nice empty words and big words are not necessarily ...

frankgradus9474 - sorry but I am still confused re your comment - we spent several months touring Poland and found Poland to be a great place to visit - the people were very friendly, honest and appeared to be hard working - whilst in Poland we needed a few things for the motorhome - new set of tyres, broken door handle and a battery connection cradle - all were at different times and theyt were provided very promptly and at extremely inexpensive hourly rates so much so that we over payed the invoices for the work as we believed that we were not charged enough. As evidenced in the video we travelled from the south to the north and from the west to the east and were amazed by the number of trucks carrying products to the west - at the end of our travels we labelled Poland "the sald bowl of Europe" because of the huge quantity of fresh produce being grown - we are now planning our next trip through Poland in 2025 - cheers Rob

@@aussieeuropeantour4727 That's marvelous news. I'm glad you like Poland and this is exactly what my comment was about - ''hard work no fine words in Poland'' - and it turned out that your experience confirmed it. Warm greetings from Gołdap, you may consider visiting this place - the gate to the hunchbacked Masuria/Mazury Garbate - during your next trip to Poland; in general the north-eastern corner of Poland is worth seeing. And as for agriculture - yeah, I think we know how to live off the land, mushroom picking being our national sport. Cheerio !

Frank - on our last trip through Poland we stayed overnight at a few places near Goldap - Suwalki (where we had a punctured tyre repaired), Augustow and Plaska (Stanica Wodna Plaska) which is owned by Andrzej and Gosha. We met them near Merkine where they were trying to retrieve their boat from the water but the trailer got stuck in the mud. There was no concrete boat ramp and they had no chance of getting the boat out on their own. We took our levelling ramps and after about 2 hours of pushing and shoving managed to get the boat and trailer out of the mud. They invited us to joun them at their camping place. They were very nice people and had a son Jacob. If you want to read the details of our visits in Poland go to www.aussieeuropeantour.com which will take you to the Home Page, then part way down on the right side where it says "Click Below to View a Country or Post " and enter "Poland" and 12 posts should display - cheers Rob
