In Poland Santa delivers our presents on the 6th of December. And then on Christmas Eve we have a 12 dish Christmas dinner and afterwards Star man (gwiazdor) delivers our christmas presents. Christmas day and boxing day are spent visiting family 😊. You did a great job at making pierogi me and my mum make them together all the time but using a totally different recipe which has been passed down from my great grandmother. Have a lovely Christmas ❤️
Hey guys, really good effort! Can I just give you a couple of tips (I am Polish) ?:) The farmers cheese,if you have any Polish shops around, they'd have it. It's kinda like a more firm cottage cheese. I would recommend adding some fried onions to the potato cheese filling for pierogi :) and with the soup,make sure you are using the right pickles. They are supposed to be the fermented kind, pickled only with salt,garlic,horseradish and water - no vinegar. I can imagine it affects the taste of the soup quite a bit,as the pickles taste completely differently. But overall,everything looks really good guys, well done :)
I love this food video! I would love to see more from other places you have been also. Very interesting to me and you did such a good job! Thank You for being creative
You guys are so cute all decked out in your Christmas gear and after those shots of vodka you were more 'delightful' :):):) That over the stove shot @15:16 looked so awesome! I am no expert but those perogies looked professionally done :) I am definitely liking the new phase as the Delightful Travellers Cook!!! Well done and thank you for another delightful post!
We had a blast filming it and we're already looking forward to doing it again. The food almost makes us feel like we're on the road again travelling 😃 - Trevor
Looks like you guys did a great job - certainly looked yummy and authentic. For a minute there I thought you two might be hammered by the end of the video.
From Poland: Belvedere vodka is for sure premium vodka, and I love this "hologram" when a bottle is full. To drink it traditionally you have to pour 25-40ml glasses for everyone, raise your hands with it, say "na zdrowie" and drink - after 90% of the people use other drink like cola or juice to get rid of this burning feeling :-) And there is a must to have a whole 25-40ml glass at once, not partially! This is not wine! :-) And if it comes to pierogi, it`s good to add some olive oil to the boiling water, then they will do not stick together, and in Poland, we are counting like 6-10 minutes after they are on the top, not since were thrown into the water.
I am very proud of you! You've made yourself a Polish dinner :) A few tips: 1. Pasta for pierogi: don't complicate it, flour, egg and water, nothing else. The filling for the dumplings is 3/4 boiled potatoes and 1/4 white cheese (farmer's cheese), plus fried onion, salt, pepper. Nothing more. And the dumplings are boiled in salted water. Served with fried bacon or cracklings and onion, they are the most traditional. So bravo. 2. In Poland, fried white sausage is eaten on Easter :) most often with sour rye soup, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that you liked it. The grilled sausage you ate in Krakow was smoked sausage, the most popular in Poland. 3. Cucumber soup (made from pickled cucumbers) is usually made with beef broth, so a piece of beef would also be useful in this pot, it would make the flavor more intense and full. You can also use instant beef broth to make it faster. It's really nice that you wanted to try Polish cuisine at home and it turned out great. Mery Xmas
What a fun video! You’ve made it look so easy I think we will give it a try, we had all these delicious dishes when we were in Poland. Great transition with the sweater and you two cracked us up with the Vodka shots. Can’t wait to see the next recipe! 😊~Cara
It's usually pretty hot over Christmas here in Cape Town, but we like to have your usual traditional meats and veggies, plus my favorite, trifle. As a kid I used to bug my poor parents from the crack of dawn to open presents, must have driven them nuts! Thanks guys the food looked delicious, look forward to the next one. Take care.
This looks like a perfect wintery comfort food meal!! YUM! I love dill pickles so I may try that recipe. It's fun to try new recipes from around the world and add some to your favorites. Thank you!
Thanks guys that was great fun and a great start to your Xmas cooking! Looks really tasty. I was expecting the perogi parcels to go in the oven....but then they would have ended up being our Yorkshire cheese and potato pasties! 😂
The way that you place the filling in pierogi is that you place the circle in your hand making a shape with your hand like you would hold water (no cup) and than in the dent you place the filling and than close and for the filling to be secure we go over with the fork on the edge pressing gently xx love your videos and you really had a grate go at it, well done xx
Fun winter series. We opened our stockings then ate breakfast and then opened presents. I'm not a morning person EXCEPT Christmas morning. My parents have to have a no earlier than 6am rule. Yes even in my 40's lol We had dill pickle soup at a restaurant in Edmonton it was so good-Shawna🍁
One Christmas at my grandmother's house, a Polish friend of hers wanted to try her Polish vodka. She gulped it down and replied THAT,LL put hair on your chest! We kids thought it was hilarious,. But when I inherited her leftover liquor.... I decided the Polish vodka smelled like turpentine and threw it away? Back sent us to the grocery to get pot cheese for the pierogi. The grocer knew what it was, but I don't remember. I don't remember any pickle soup, but pierogi making involved all hands on deck the day before! Babka too because of all the hand rolling and she had to inspect each pierogi so that she was sure they would not pop open in the water.thanks so much for sharing it is being back all sorts of memories!
It's so cool that this brings back all those memories for you. I can so see why Pierogi making is such a family affair. It took a lot of time but was so worth it 😃 - Trevor
Warmest greetings from Poland to you, Cute Delightful Travellers! Congratulations and Respect for cooking Polish food in Canada. I must admit, that when I lived in England, UK for 11 years I missed Polish food so much that I decided to cook Ruskie Pierogi and I faild miserably!! Some of them burst open while cooking and those which cooked properly didn't taste great at all! Maybe because I couldn't find a typical Polish white cheese in Brighton's supermarkets. So, Congratulations and Respect to you once more! I,m very proud of you!
Oh so awesome, I can’t wait for the other videos. The food looks delicious, I have never had polish food before but want to try it out. Good job guys what a great idea 😍 love the hat and reindeer ears ☺️
You two are great cooks! Everything looked delicious 😋 I like the idea of doing a culinary journey from the comfort of your own home. We've done lots of cooking classes around the world but we're not very good at putting our new skills to practice when we get home. You've given us some inspiration 😀
Loved it! You two look so cute with those hats I really enjoy watching you cook together. As a child I grew up in a family that didn't celebrate Christmas I always hated going back to school after Christmas break because all the kids would brag and talk about all the stuff they got for Christmas. But for my two sons I would always decorate a great big tree it was all about the decorations for me and I would always say you can't open your presents till Christmas morning. But they were always so anxious they would stay up late and by midnight I'd say well you can open one just one next thing I know we've opened everything under the tree and then Christmas morning we would all sleep in.🤣🤣🤣
You two are so cute in your Christmas cheer!!! Also, you make a great cooking team, she reads he executes!!! This may be a calling for you guys...the couple that doesn't know how to cook, teaches themselves to cook... And if you have to show failures as well as successes we can all learn together. I'm definitely going to try the soup recipe. Is this vlog shot in your new home?
Wow!! Great job guys that looked amazing!! Have to say I have never cooked Polish food!!...love the shot lol...not a big fan of Vodka but you did it for the video lol...as always you keep us entertained !! Thanks again...xo...Viv
I was always too scared to get up too early on Christmas morning in fear that I would run into Santa. My brother is 8 years younger so I “believed” in Santa for him for many many years. By the time I was in grade 6 we got a computer and I was able to track Santa online so every year after that I’d get up at 6:30 AST because on NORAD Santa was just about to finish his journey. His last stop is Hawaii then it takes like almost 30 min for him to return to the North Pole. So then 7 am we would wake my parents up. I honestly remember those years more so than when I myself believed. Making it magical for my brother was the best part of me being an older sister
Guys, I I've your effort. I'm proud of you! Next time easier to ask some poles (not born here in the US). Internet with all fancy clutter it is not the real polish way 😄
Nice video. Try to do traditional food from South of the Poland. Rolada, kluski and red cabbage(modra kapusta). Is the best what you can eat ;) Merry Christmas 🎄
This was great! Your reaction to tasting the perogi made me laugh! Dare I even say it and give us credit - lol This was very fun to watch and look forward to the next meal :)
I also would always sleep in on Christmas morning. We’d then get up and make breakfast, like eggs, pancakes, etc. Get ready and then would open presents. We would divide them up and then watch the person open the gifts and then on to the next person. To this day, I can’t handle a free for all of gift opening lol
Great video guys. Pickle soup is actually very popular in Poland, and yet on very few menus in Polish restaurants in America. Go figure. PS: I think you need to smoke the sausage for it to truly be Kielbasa. It should have a red-brown color. But all things considered, good job. Looks tasty.
I’m so behind on videos. I cheated today & watched your latest video- but I have a lot of catching up to do. Which is why I’m here in March watching a Christmas video 🤣🤣 Your tree is so pretty! And I love the holiday sweaters! When I was growing up On Christmas Eve we would do a gift exchange at my grandparents house & finish the night off with a Christmas movie. Christmas morning I would wake up early & my mom would always say “You can’t open any gifts till your brother gets up. And you better not wake him up.” And what would I do every year? Wake him up. 🤣 After gifts we would have a early Christmas meal, because our family did this thing where we all met up at each other’s houses to see everyone’s gifts & eat Christmas goodies. It was nice, but I was usually eager to get back home to my own gifts. 😂
♥ The dill pickle soup... Enjoyable & warming in the cooler weather... Could have used a Żywiec Porter (delightfully delicious) to help wash down the pierogi & sausage... ☺
Looks really good! Makes me want to give soup and peirogi a try How did soup taste before you added pickles? Wish we could get sausage like that here! Looking forward to next cooking foray! 🎄
About a year ago, I went to the cheese counter of a big supermarket asking for Farmer's Cheese, I was informed that's a US term for a softer cheese very much like creamy Havarti or mild cheddar as its equivalent.
10/10 for dedication and effort! I wonder about that pickle soup though - what kind of pickles did you put in? Were those cucumber pickled with some kind of vinegar? That's not what we do in Poland. We use fermented sour cucumbers, no vinegar. Judging by the color of yours, they were either vinegar pickled or very young, freshly fermented cucumbers - these are delicious too, but not fermented enough for soup. You can ferment your cucumbers at home or buy some in any Polish shop you can find.
Try to substitute some ricotta and creamy feta mixture. if you can not get farmers cheese. I like more cheese then potato in my stuffing.I enjoy your shows.Marek
Super video! Merry Christmas dear ones! I hope that next time you have a Romanian dinner served with Romanian brandy or țuică or why not a good wine from Transylvania! It's a lot of work, especially for sarmale, but it's worth the effort! A beautiful evening and good appetite!
We're not sure what we'll be cooking yet but we'll figure out something. It's so hard to pick a favourite / unique dish from all the amazing countries we visited - Anna
Your vodka should be held in the freezer before consuming as straight shots, 🤪 but I do sip mine since I actually enjoy the flavor. Like you would do for a quality Tequila 😁. Not the freezing part 😜
@@DelightfulTravellers if I have room in the freezer, I keep my bottle there. Vodka "ice sculpture shoots" are also a good way to enjoy vodka 🤪, but not rich enough to have one of those at my parties 😁
Vlog..... Polish your Kitchen , Anna with American husband cooks Polish food for mainly viewers in USA. Every Friday they close the kitchen and try food take away . At the same time visiting interesting places around Szczecin area. Husband takes over and explains places of intrests: Restaurant with round walls, Crooked woods, petrol station with amazing food. Check Anna's pierogi with yours.
Dobrze że podsmażyłaś odrobinę ogórki kiszone w przeciwnym wypadku kwas z ogórków powoduję że ziemniaki w zupie będą twarde.P.S Z początku zrozumiałem że to zupa ,,koperkowa bo taka też jest w Polsce ,ale okazało się że to ogórkowa ,Pozdro z Polski
With polish vodka I would usually keep the bottle in freezer. It's about 40% alcohol which means it will never actually freeze solid. Stick your glasses in the fridge for an hour and then have your vodka neat. Just like with proper whisky - never, ever use ice cubes. They just dilute and ruin the whole experience. Happy 2021!
When it comes to Polish vodka you must try a very famous, special and unique Polish vodka called Żubrówka. Wikipedia says: "Żubrówka ranks as the third or fourth best-selling vodka brand in the world (after Smirnoff, Absolut, and occasionally Khortytsia).[4] Żubrówka is available in more than 80 markets worldwide." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%BBubr%C3%B3wka
Congratulations. It"s not simple. Some technical notes. 1. Vodka should be well-frozen and served with some side dish. (steak tartare) 2. Traditionally Christmas dumplings are with sauerkraut and wild mushrooms. Ruskie pierogi ( Ruthenian pierogi)are filled with curd, potatoes and fried onions. Curd is available in Canada In cheese to potatoes in a 1: 1 ratio. The traditional dumpling dough consists only of flour, hot water and salt. When you want to fry them, you can add a little fat ( oil, melted butter)ua-cam.com/video/on5Ayp-2Uuk/v-deo.html Ruthenia was a former part of Poland after the borders were moved(1945), today it is Western Ukraine. 3 Add parsley or dill leaves after cooking the soup. These cucumbers should be cucumbers in brine. Typical Polish Christmas soups are red borscht with ears (small dumplings (ears) stuffed with wild mushrooms) mushroom or fish soup. Best regards and congratulations on your self-denial.
My mum used to always fry some onions till they get translucent and put them into the filling for this kind of pierogi. Also, vodka goes down easier when you snack on something sour afterwards like a pickle!
3:06 don't be afraid to say "pierogis". Most of the Poles correcting you say "chipsy" (they add "y" to make plural "chips" even more plural! ;) and they do not know they're making mistake too. It's typical for Poles - correcting somebody, but making the same mistake :/
In Polish we'd say "WESOLY SWIANT! BOZEGO NARODZENIA!... SMACZNIEGO". ie. "Oh holy night... God is born!" PS: ALWAYS meatless if eaten on Christmas Eve!

Hi Poland! 😃 - Trevor
I *love* pickle soup, my Polish grandma makes a fantastic one. :)
We're now massive fans of pickle soup as well. It was so good 😋 - Trevor
Great job. Thanks so much for traveling around the kitchens of the world.
I love this food video! I would love to see more from other places you have been also. Very interesting to me and you did such a good job! Thank You for being creative
We'll have 3 more cooking videos happening this month. Woohoo! Glad you enjoyed it 🤗 - Anna
we have made dill pickle soup for many years. When you taste it, you cannot really decipher what the taste is besides garlic. Yummy!
You guys are so cute all decked out in your Christmas gear and after those shots of vodka you were more 'delightful' :):):) That over the stove shot @15:16 looked so awesome!

Belvedere vodka, a fine choice!
Grew up eating these wonderful dishes. Glad you were brave enough to make them and REALLY ENJOY the tastes.
Smacznego 😊🍷

Polish food 😍
Thanks guys that was great fun and a great start to your Xmas cooking! Looks really tasty. I was expecting the perogi parcels to go in the oven....but then they would have ended up being our Yorkshire cheese and potato pasties! 😂
Let the holidays officially begin! hehe ... thanks for watching Helen - Anna
The way that you place the filling in pierogi is that you place the circle in your hand making a shape with your hand like you would hold water (no cup) and than in the dent you place the filling and than close and for the filling to be secure we go over with the fork on the edge pressing gently xx love your videos and you really had a grate go at it, well done xx
Love this video! Can't wait to see what else you will cook! You guys are awesome.
Fun winter series. We opened our stockings then ate breakfast and then opened presents. I'm not a morning person EXCEPT Christmas morning. My parents have to have a no earlier than 6am rule. Yes even in my 40's lol We had dill pickle soup at a restaurant in Edmonton it was so good-Shawna🍁

Makes me want to give soup and peirogi a try
How did soup taste before you added pickles?
Wish we could get sausage like that here!
Looking forward to next cooking foray!

It tasted a lot like a vegetable soup honestly. The dill and pickles / sour cream completely changed it - Trevor

About a year ago, I went to the cheese counter of a big supermarket asking for Farmer's Cheese, I was informed that's a US term for a softer cheese very much like creamy Havarti or mild cheddar as its equivalent.
Good to know. Here if we did that they'd point us to a brand. We have a dairy based brand called 'Farmers' 😅 - Trevor
Fantastic!! how do I make a reservation at Café Delightful Travelers?? you guys did great; can't wait to see the Greek segment...hint, hint.... ;)
It's $10,000 to hold a spot Taki 😅 We so can't wait to cook some more over the holidays - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers lol...does that include room and board?
10/10 for dedication and effort! I wonder about that pickle soup though - what kind of pickles did you put in? Were those cucumber pickled with some kind of vinegar? That's not what we do in Poland.

Super video! Merry Christmas dear ones! I hope that next time you have a Romanian dinner served with Romanian brandy or țuică or why not a good wine from Transylvania! It's a lot of work, especially for sarmale, but it's worth the effort! A beautiful evening and good appetite!
We're not sure what we'll be cooking yet but we'll figure out something. It's so hard to pick a favourite / unique dish from all the amazing countries we visited - Anna
Your vodka should be held in the freezer before consuming as straight shots, 🤪 but I do sip mine since I actually enjoy the flavor. Like you would do for a quality Tequila 😁. Not the freezing part 😜
Good to know about putting it in the freezer Diane. Next time! 😀 - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers if I have room in the freezer, I keep my bottle there. Vodka "ice sculpture shoots" are also a good way to enjoy vodka 🤪, but not rich enough to have one of those at my parties 😁

Picle soup is not Christmas meat
Dobrze że podsmażyłaś odrobinę ogórki kiszone w przeciwnym wypadku kwas z ogórków powoduję że ziemniaki w zupie będą twarde.P.S Z początku zrozumiałem że to zupa ,,koperkowa bo taka też jest w Polsce ,ale okazało się że to ogórkowa ,Pozdro z Polski
With polish vodka I would usually keep the bottle in freezer. It's about 40% alcohol which means it will never actually freeze solid. Stick your glasses in the fridge for an hour and then have your vodka neat. Just like with proper whisky - never, ever use ice cubes. They just dilute and ruin the whole experience. Happy 2021!
The "broth" technique is called "TEMPERING". It's done with chocolate too.
Cottage cheese is closest to farmer's cheese... Add caramelized onion to potatoes 😉
I hope you are both doing ok. ❤️
Kielbasa pronounced KEEL-BASA is traditionally a ham based sausage and peppery/garlicky in flavor.
15:29 "kiełbasa sausage" is a pleonasm ;) Kiełbasa is not a name of some kind of sausage, it litearally means "sausage" :)))
Farmer's Cheese? Plain, simple. Basically? Picture COTTAGE CHEESE but with a much more robust curd, drier.
It's "cut" vs. "spread".
Tip on leeks...cut in half long ways, peel that onion cousin l and wash throughly, ....they are FULL OF DIRT, lol.
When it comes to Polish vodka you must try a very famous, special and unique Polish vodka called Żubrówka. Wikipedia says: "Żubrówka ranks as the third or fourth best-selling vodka brand in the world (after Smirnoff, Absolut, and occasionally Khortytsia).[4] Żubrówka is available in more than 80 markets worldwide." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%BBubr%C3%B3wka
I’m starving after watching.
Definitely this is NOT polish food, educate yourself, on UA-cam is tons cooking information
@@leokadiazawojski2937 I didn’t say it was authentic.
Congratulations. It"s not simple. Some technical notes.
1. Vodka should be well-frozen and served with some side dish. (steak tartare)
2. Traditionally Christmas dumplings are with sauerkraut and wild mushrooms. Ruskie pierogi ( Ruthenian pierogi)are filled with curd, potatoes and fried onions. Curd is available in Canada In cheese to potatoes in a 1: 1 ratio. The traditional dumpling dough consists only of flour, hot water and salt. When you want to fry them, you can add a little fat ( oil, melted butter)ua-cam.com/video/on5Ayp-2Uuk/v-deo.html Ruthenia was a former part of Poland after the borders were moved(1945), today it is Western Ukraine.
3 Add parsley or dill leaves after cooking the soup. These cucumbers should be cucumbers in brine. Typical Polish Christmas soups are red borscht with ears (small dumplings (ears) stuffed with wild mushrooms) mushroom or fish soup.
Best regards and congratulations on your self-denial.
My mum used to always fry some onions till they get translucent and put them into the filling for this kind of pierogi. Also, vodka goes down easier when you snack on something sour afterwards like a pickle!
@@nanazu1880 hahahahah :-);-) XD
@@yakeosicki8965 glad this made you laugh!
@@nanazu1880 The sentence about vodka made me laugh. You would have to live in Poland to understand that. There was no anger in it.
If you ever cook pickle soup again, try a recipe with ricotta cheese. I swear you'll love it.
mmmm yum... we'll try that next time 👍 - Trevor
Ravioli is also plural. When someone says "raviolis" it's wrong.
Such a great comparison.... seriously! I never ever heard somebody was 'Raviolis' though but this so makes sense - Trevor
🥰🥰🥰
3:06 don't be afraid to say "pierogis". Most of the Poles correcting you say "chipsy" (they add "y" to make plural "chips" even more plural! ;) and they do not know they're making mistake too. It's typical for Poles - correcting somebody, but making the same mistake :/
In Polish we'd say "WESOLY SWIANT! BOZEGO NARODZENIA!... SMACZNIEGO". ie. "Oh holy night... God is born!" PS: ALWAYS meatless if eaten on Christmas Eve!
Delicioso 💯😋
Polish ppl don't eat meat on Christmas eve
Pierogi = dumplings :-) BR
