| Marzena: (SLOW) Obiadek na mieście. (REGULAR) Obiadek na mieście. |
| Eric: Then comes the phrase - "There is nothing like a good pork cutlet.." |
| Marzena: Nie ma to jak dobry schabowy! |
| Eric: You can use the phrase "there is nothing like a" when saying that something is good and usually traditional. It’s very nostalgic. The "Pork cutlet" mentioned here is arguably one of the most traditional Polish dishes and the first one a Polish person will miss when travelling abroad. Listen again- "There is nothing like a good pork cutlet." is... |
| Marzena: (SLOW) Nie ma to jak dobry schabowy! (REGULAR) Nie ma to jak dobry schabowy! |
| Eric: All together, "Eating out. There is nothing like a good pork cutlet." |
| Marzena: Obiadek na mieście. Nie ma to jak dobry schabowy! |
