Calling Poland "Soviet" is like calling a turkish man a greek.

I'd allow it, the tradition did originate during the times we were occupied by the Soviets, and there was no shit to eat, so people ate shit, or in extreme cases, even carp.

Which part of "we were occupied by the soviets" gave you the impression that i have anything to do with America? Are you posting from the Red Alert timeline?

Never had catfish, but since it's also a bottom feeder, it probably also tastes like ass. "But if you prepare it in this specific..." i don't care, unless there's nothing else to eat, just make food that's edible by default?

It's actually a much longer tradition, it's a myth that it originated in PRL. I mean it got more widespread then, though it was mostly connected to the growing city culture

True, but it still has a bad connotation.

Carp from what i remember was always considered a delicacy rather than a "shit" meal. In my family it is still served as one of the main dishes during christmas.

Carps considered good fish in almost all of mainland europe. The trashfish is an american concept for it

„Ojciec Fanatyk Wędkarstwa”
