      I’m not personally familiar with these jokes, but the signage does appear to be Polish or some similar language. This may not have been the intent?

        It is Polish. No idea why the dude even went there, it is a Polish bakery with wasps on the food. Not uncommon to see over there with some places that are outside or keep doors open.

        the ‘joke’ is that they are spicy (jalapeno) because Poles are supposed to be stupid (according to the joke teller) and would eat them with bees still on them and get stung in the mouth.

          The text on the pastry is literally Polish. It is a pastry in a Polish bakery. You don’t need to be outraged on behalf of someone else.

          Fuk me. I’m of slavic descent and have heard a lot of polish jokes, but I had no idea what was going on here. Thanks for the explanation.

          Ah lol I wouldn’t have viewed this as a “stupid poles” joke because I lack the context and have often called food with bees on them spicy.

          But, if it’s a thing, I guess it’s a thing.

          Ah that makes sense. I thought maybe the jalapeños were inside or something, but honestly your explanation is more likely and I’m just kind of a dumbass

            I took thought it was actually jalapenos on the inside and wondered why wasps would be attracted if it was spicy and not sweet
