NEXT MONTH, POLAND will celebrate the 10th anniversary of its accession to the European Union.
According to the Polish Embassy, May also marks a decade of Polish people settling down and living in Ireland.
The staff and diplomats at the embassy said they wanted to “convey their gratitude to the Irish people for the openness and kindness they have shown to Poles”.
They also wanted to show “all the joys that the Emerald Isle has to offer”.
To do so, they made this incredible short video, as Gaeilge, with the tag-line:
Go raibh míle maith agaibh go léir, a mhuintir na hÉireann!
The Embassy also warns that the film should be taken “with a pinch of salt”.

I love spicy food, eat it at least 3 times a week. Home made chilli con carne with fresh chillies, it has to make your nose run, eyes stream and steam come from your ears.
Fire in the hole !
My good friends Causation and Correlation
All this shows is that the kind of people who like chillies are happier and more outgoing than other people. Therefore they live longer than attention seeking picky eaters” ooh I don’t eat this and I can’t eat the other thing
I don’t know if it will be you live longer but it will certainly make you stay longer in the toilet.
it’s probably the rice that’s doing that to your insides
I had a Madras curry last night, & it’s been the longest night and morning in memory.
I’m going to live forever!
Lamb Rogan Josh xtra spicy on the menu tonight.. mmmmm
Some job if it is the combination of the spices in hot food that helps as well as Turmeric has antibacterial and antiviral properties, it lowers cholesterol, is anticancer / antitumor properties, good for the liver but it can effect blood pressure by rising it. Herbs and spices do have health benefits as well as ginger has very good health benefits as does cinnamon but as the old saying goes let your food be your medicine?
It could be as simple as the possibility that healthy and active people tend to eat a more adventurous and interesting diet.
It’s unusual to obtain high quality curries (with Turmeric, Curcumin, fresh chillies , cayenne pepper, black pepper, including bioperine, and the like) in hospitals, nursing homes, prisons, residential institutions and in areas of long term high unemployment.
Variety is the spice of life!
observational studies meh
thats grand,i smother most of my food in franks red hot,hot sauce i shall enjoy it well into my 90s! franks hot sauce for all!
I reckon key to this is FRESH…. Franks while nice is more than likely over procesed therefore taking any good from it.
Wagamama Chicken Firecracker…..yum… But you do pay for it the next day.
Frank’s is the dogs bo110x but don’t be fooled by the zero calories, check out the salt content!
Taking a half teaspoon of raw cayenne pepper mixed with a mugful of water first thing in the morning for 3 months is a remedy for clogged up arteries, I believe it is half a teaspoonful could be more not sure but many who did this have reported it working…
I recently ate at an restaurant in Australia that listed 3 levels of spiciness that you could choose from. Mild, Medium and Arse Burner.
Very hard to get fresh, strong chillies here
Loads of Asian / Carribean shops on Moore St.. Try the scotch bonnet if you dare. Great with fish curries.
Try the Asian/Chinese food shops Alan, great for spices and ingredients not widely available in the supermarkets. There’s a good one we go to on the quay in Waterford, used one of their spice mixes for Rogan Josh much stronger than any Patak or such, nearly blew my head off.
I’m in Drogheda, only got lidl and the like :-(

Try habanero chillies which are readily available in all the ethnic stores…guaranteed to blow out your “O” ring
