}}</ref> Was this a reference to the Bilbical Biblical "land flowing with milk and honey" or mockery made of the northern savages who, rather then feed on bread, wine and olive oil (like the civilized Mediterranean farmers do), make their living by hunting, gathering and herding? Hard to tell; perhaps it was a little of both. Anyway, my point is that it's difficult to imagine Polish cuisine without honey cakes and honey-flavoured gingerbread, honey-sweetened tea, mead and honey liqueurs, such as ''krupnik'' or ''kramambula''.

Już na pierwszy rzut oka widaćYou can see at the first glance that it's one big pile of ribbish. It wasn't the heir to the throne that was (usually) elected in Poland, że to kompletna bzdurabut a new king after the previous had died or resigned. WłaściwieThe process was called an "election", co zdanienot "selection". And whatever one might say about the actual power of Polish kings, it was still too important an office to błądleave the job or picking the right candidate to insects.

| Władysław IV, który przejął koronę po ojcu w&nbsp;1632&nbsp;r., był najpopularniejszym monarchą, jaki kiedykolwiek zasiadał na polskim tronie. Szlachta, która miała „króla–kłodę” w&nbsp;Zygmuncie [III], uznała, iż Władysław winien być „królem pszczół, od którego tylko miód dostaniemy” – innymi słowy, mieli nadzieję wyciągnąć od niego jeszcze więcej niż od jego poprzednika. Władysław zgadzał się na wszystko. Obiecał nigdy nie wypowiadać wojny ani nie gromadzić wojska bez zgody sejmu, zobowiązał się wszystkie urzędy obsadzić w&nbsp;określonym czasie, a&nbsp;szlachtę zwolnił z&nbsp;ostatniego jej obowiązku na rzecz skarbu, jakim było płacenie podatku dochodowego.| oryg = Wladislaus IV, who succeeded his father in 1632, was the most popular monarch who ever sat on the Polish throne. The szlachta, who had had a&nbsp;“King Log” in Sigismund, were determined that Wladislaus should be “a King Bee who will give us nothing but honey” – in other words they hoped to wheedle him out of even more than they had wrested from his predecessor. Wladislaus submitted to everything. He promised never to declare war or levy troops without the consent of the sejm, undertook to fill all vacancies within a&nbsp;certain time, and released the szlachta from the payment of income-tax, their one remaining fiscal obligation.
