Hi positive people😊... I don't know how long you will be in Krakow, but I recommend the "Karakter" restaurant and their "Tatar"... I think it would be a bit of a Polish exotic for you. .... I'm afraid that if I watch your food videos and your enthusiastic reactions regularly, I will gain weight! ... because I'm getting hungry😅
It's nice to see that you liked Poland and our dishes so much. 😊 You look so positive, really great couple😊 I wish a great discovery Poland, have a good trip, greetings from Rzeszów 😀
Mushrooms connection to Polish cuisine is so tight that if you say "mushroom sauce" in Poland you almost definitely mean wild mushrooms, especially from Boletaceae family, while dishes based on Agaricus mushrooms usually have different name ("pieczarkowy"), although of course they still mushrooms. Mostly because wild mushrooms have very distinctive taste, some people love it, some don't. Of course there is further distinction: e.g. you wouldn't call "mushroom sauce" a sauce that is based on Chanterelle mushrooms - it's too vague for Polish cuisine. This is probably because Poland has a lot of forests on its territory and mushroom picking is still quite common. This is a cultural thing, for example Scandinavians are also very keen to pick wild mushroom while in some other countries picking wild mushrooms is considered a death wish.
Damn, I grew up in Poland and I thought I knew my ish, but you are on a whole other level.👍🏼 Than again, back in the 80s and 90s every time my family went mushroom picking in Poland, I stayed home because I considered it the most boring activity ever, right next to fishing.
@@martindworak that's funny, because I don't understand fishing too! At least if you go for mushroom picking you are walking 😅 I guess it is quite similar - you just get food for free which gives you that cave man satisfaction (although, still, walking in forest with all those beautiful views and smells is more understandable for me than just sitting next to some rod, lol). But enjoying the nature is for older folks, I remember that mushroom picking was always for me as a kid a bit of an adventure because there were swamps and sometimes wild animals.
@@JacobandJennyTravel The mushroom soup is usually made with dried Boletus edulis (edible boletus) or Imleria badia (bolete mushroom) soaked in hot water and paired with celery root, parsley root, carrots and noodles or potatoes. And sour cream! In some families it is a Christmas Eve soup next to the red borshch. Many of us go mushroom picking, mostly in September, and it varies from person to person or family to family what mushrooms we pick. Some of the edible ones are very easy to distinguish, others not so. The rule is obviously "pick the mushrooms that you are sure are edible" but there happen to be some serious mushroom poisonings from time to time, sometimes requiring even a liver transplant...
You must also try "kotlety mielone" (minced cutlets in english?), preferably with "mizeria" (cucumber salad). When it comes to soups - "rosół" (chicken soup) and "flaki" (tripe soup?) are also very popular. Also try the desserts. In my opinion, the best Polish cake is "szarlotka" (eng. apple pie - but it's not the apple pie you know from the USA). If we're talking about sweets, go to the store and choose something sweet. We have really good sweets. "Ptasie mleczko" (bird milk) is sooo good.
The best thing is that everything you eat with great delight, I have something from this menu every day for dinner, and perfect taste it is as natural to me as oxygen. I actually don't remember in my life in Poland ,if I've ever eaten something for dinner that didn't taste perfect.
You need to try ZUPA KURKOWA, which means chanterelle soup... It's a different league. A yellow wild mushroom, with such a flavour, that will make your tastebuds melt :D Also GOŁĄBKI (cabbage rolls) have always been for me much better in tomato sauce, not mushroom sauce. And they come in many varieties in Poland. Greetings :D
I know you do not go sightseeing museums, but seeing inside of the castle you could see real sacofaguses of polish kings. What is for free though.. is the dragon. Below the castle, next to the river there is big dragon statue that blasts fire every few minutes.
I recommend barszcz czerwony z uszkami (read something like: barshch chervony z ushkami) It's a clear beatroot soup with little dumpling like pockets of minced mushrooms. There's also a cabbage and mushroom version but personally I prefer only mushrooms in my uszka (uszka in Polish mean little ears, probably thanks to their shape). It's a traditional Christmas dish in Poland.
@@Alex420z Provided, that they make borscht themselves and don't pour it from a box bought in a store, as I was once told in Warsaw in the restaurant "U Szwejka". He was disgusting.
I am watching a video while eating traditional Polish cabbage soup made of sauerkraut, vegetarian version, without meat, but with dried boletus, well seasoned, which I cooked myself + fried potatoes. Good food for a cold day. 😊
Best potato pancakes are the hungarian-style (placki po węgiersku), it means they come with gulash. Bon Apetit! The wheat beer - guys, you just conquered my heart.
@@charonboat6394 In the coutlet. Meat is in the coutlet. How can you imagine a coutlet without a meat or a coutlet without potatoes? Meatless coutlet sounds like a scam from a Western, rainbow-haired trans-alien.
We LITERALLY think about Polish food every day. Can you please ship us at least a doughnut? Way to give it a shot! For dessert, we really liked the strawberry pierogi with the cream.
Funny fakt for you guys. In "THE BLACKLIST SEASON 2 EPISODE 2: MONARCH DOUGLAS BANK (NO. 112)" the main character Raymond Reddington when he visited Poland first thing he did was visiting polish bakery to get "Pączki z różą" (2:04 in your video, these are the ones you ate) when he seen them he said "I've been dreaming of pączki" 😂
That is not a rule. I like my cabbage rolls in its own juices. The tomato or dill sauce are always the second choice, but I never say no to gołąbki no matter what sauce they are in.
The same mushrooms are growing all over US, but Americans not picking them up for some weird reason, they rather go to walmart and pay for them. Cheers from Tennessee 🇺🇲
Nice to see that everything is delicious for you 😀 Try my favorite Polish dish „zrazy” its sooo delicious and I am sure you like it so much too 🤤😃 Also try polish soup „kwaśnica” or „kapuśniak” its sour cabbage soup ❤
Hi, the sauce you mentioned which you had with golabki was made of wild mushrooms “maślaki” I think, based on how it looked like, and it is definitely harder to digest😅 The Lard you should eat with pickled cucumber and look for Tatar which is finely cut raw beef meat usually eaten with raw yolk and again pickled cucumber 😅 When you arrive to Zakopane check next type of Pierogi…”Pierogi z Bryndzą (it’s different type of goat cheese, very salty but fresh). And eat something in one of our mountains huts :)
There is an another lake "Czarny staw" upper than "Morskie oko" its about 40 mins hiking and worth to be there because its many times coolest view. And next on the way to "Rysy" for step to step is bether...
You have to go to the Tawerna Wilczy Dół (The Witcher tavern) on Szpitalna 22 and Dziórawy Kocioł (The Harry Potter cafe) on Grodzka 50. Both are at Main Square:)
In my experience, most of mushroom sauce is made from cultivated mushrooms such as champignon, or a more widely available wild mushrooms such as chanterelles. For dishes such as bigos it's generally preferred to use bay bolete or porcini for their distinct taste. On a note of pastries, my favorite is a Napoleonka. Best way to describe it is two layers of a cream that is like a cross between custard and NY-style cheesecake, between three layers of flaky puff pastry, and sprinkled with powdered sugar on top. Highly recommend it if you spot it somewhere. Another classic polish dish to try is a golonka (pork hock or pork picnic). Beer braised and flame grilled is the best. Served with mustard, horseradish, sour pickle, and bread... and pairs great with beer.
Poles love soups. In Poland, there is no Sunday dinner without soup. Soup is always served as the first course. The most classic Zapiekanka is one with mushrooms and yellow cheese, sprinkled with chives.
When you are already in Poland, you could visit the Czech Republic, it is right below Poland, here you will also experience a beautiful ancient city and a completely different atmosphere, but you need to go to more cities than Prague, it is very touristy.
We definitely want to visit Czech Republic soon!! I spent two weeks there back in college and absolutely loved it! I was in the small town of Cesky Teskin :) thanks so much for watching!
Powiem wam że to co wam smakuje w restauracjach jak pierogi bigos , żurek w wykonaniu domowym są o wiele, wiele leps, to jest namiastka tego co my jemy w domu .Powiem ci jakie są różnice ; Bigos to stare danie które na polowaniach jedli królowie i szlachta polska . Składała się z kapusty i różnych gatunków mięsa także wędzonych i diczyzny , przypraw . W kadzi to gotowało się wiele godzin a je się przegryzając chlebem i tak w domach się robi dotychczas . Pierogi robi się z różnym nadzieniem , ziemniaki z białym serem z kapustą i grzybami a także na słodkoz samym białym serem , z leśnymi jagodami , z śliwkami a także truskawkami . Zupę Żurek musi mieć białą kiełbasę , jajko ugotowani i dużo ziół .. Polacy na swięta z zup jedzą zupę grzybową lub czerwony barszcz z uszkami - uszka to takie małe pierożki nadziewane farszem z mięsa a i dużo różnych ciast jak pierniki , serniki , mazurki , orzechowce i wie innych . Jest jeszcze jeden przysmak na te święta którego nigdy nie jedliście i chyba nie słyszeliście jest to Kutia .Kutia znana jest głównie ze wschodnich terenów Polski , Jest to przysmak z dzicięcych czasów . Jest to z robione z kaszy pęcak , dużo ugotowanego i zmielonego maku , miód , orzechy i bakalie to wszysto wymieszane i podawane na zimnio no i jest to słodkie ismaczne .W restauracji której byliście w tle była muzyka górali Polskich z Tatr . Namawiam na zobaczenie stolicy zimowej Zakopane , 2 godziny autobusem od Krakowa ,zobaczycie Polskie góry i charakterystyczną kulturę polskich górali .
Wow that is such amazing information!! Thank you for sharing all of that with us. We are headed to Zakopane so we will get to experience the real highlander culture! Thanks again :)
Smakuje?😂 Na zdrowko! Spróbujcie też zup. Surówek. To w małych miseczkach przed daniem to czekadelko .Smalczyk z cebulą, ziołami i mięsem czy kiełbasą.
A bar mleczny (literally translated as "milk bar" from Polish) is a Polish cafeteria provid government-subsidized traditional Polish cuisine at low cost. The name comes from cheese cutlets, which were often sold when meat was rare. The first milk bar, called "Mleczarnia Nadświdrzańska," was established in 1896 in Warsaw by Stanisław Dłużewski, a member of the Polish landed gentry. Although the typical bar mleczny had a menu based on dairy items, these establishments generally also served other, non-dairy traditional Polish dishes as well. The commercial success of the first milk bars encouraged other businessmen to copy this type of restaurant. As Poland regained its independence after World War I, milk bars appeared across most of the country. They offered relatively cheap but nourishing food, and thus achieved even more prominence during the economic depression of the 1930s and World War II. After the fall of the Nazi regime, Poland became a communist state in the Eastern Bloc. Contrary to official propaganda, the majority of the population was poor, and even moderately-priced restaurants were derided as "capitalist". During the post-war years, most restaurants were nationalized and then closed down by the communist authorities. In the mid-1960s, milk bars were common as a means of offering cheap meals to people working in companies that had no official canteen. They still served mostly dairy-based and vegetarian meals, especially during the period of martial law in the early 1980s, when meat was rationed. They became small, inexpensive restaurants that took advantage of PRL nostalgia, while providing good quality food and customer service. Due to their good locations, milk bars often fall victim to gentrification and are defended by activist groups. Today milk bars are privately owned, but partly subsidized by the state, which allows it to offer low prices.
I miss Poland so much, so I wanted to watch some videos and came across yours. What are the names of the places you ate at? It would be appreciated if you shared that. Thank you!
Bigos always with the bread. So this top bread hat should be eaten mixup with the dish. Then the rest of the bread part after part while the bigos disappears.
It is a kind of stew. The smoky flavour Jacob mentioned might come from red wine, which is added and then gets reduced during the process of cooking bigos. There might also be prunes in it which add that flavour.
Fun fact: Dunkin' Donuts tried to get big in Poland twice but both times had to close their business because Poles preferred their own donuts. Cheaper and better.
Hey there, just to let you know, you did not miss a step there while reviewing Polish food. "Zapiekanki" - a hard yes. People in Poland do not appreciate them to the extent we used to as we have a "kebap" on every corner now (and yes, those quotation marks are not a mistake). Also, the cabbage roll with minced pork meat "gołąbki" is normally served with a tomato souce. Local people in Cracow do it differently but we still like them :) The sour soup in bread is prevalent everywhere in Poland. I do not think you got what you intended, so next time just show them: "żurek w chlebie" and they will do it right. Since we are talking about soups, you should also try: "rosół" (chicken and/or sometimes beef/mutton/duck), but we also have a version of a tomato soup (like gazpacho in Spain but served hot with noodles "pomidorowa"), "ogórkowa" that used to be my favourite when I was a child that is made of pickles in brine - whatever that means - and other vegetables like potatoes and carrot. And the answer is yes, that is only a small gist what Polish cuisine has to offer. You should visit different areas in Poland as regionally you might find some other distinctions. You might think that a Polish pork cutlet/chop "schabowy" is the same everywhere. Well... it is not. But yes, we like dill and butter on our boiled and mashed potatoes. Sue us :P We do not do that with the roasted ones, obviously. And yes, you might see a sour cream in different dishes. With "schabowy" you sometimes get "mizeria" which consists of cucumber and sour cream (served either sweet or plain, you never know). I know those tips are not much, but I am really grateful you took the time to taste the greatest/most known dishes of the Polish cuisine. Oh, btw, you should go to "Zakopane". You will find some other culinary gems you cannot encounter in the rest of Poland. Just a thought. Take care!
Wow this all sounds soooo delicious! Polish food has been so delicious and we just want to keep trying new things. Thank you so much for all the wonderful information :)
Tak, zimą jemy rozgrzewające zupy, mięsa - mielony sznycel z buraczkami, schabowy z kapustą, bigosy, mięsa pieczone, dieta śródziemnomorska nie sprawdziłaby się, ryby są całorocznym menu.
Hello again Jacob and Jenny! You sure picked a cold place to spend the holiday season - in Poland. It just so happens that my mother's family is from Poland - my mom's parents were both Polish immigrants. The main Polish food I remember from my childhood is Polish sausage, or Kielbasa - which it seems that you didn't eat in this video. From the food that you did sample, it doesn't look like I could eat very much of it, and I would probably go hungry in Poland. You see, I can't eat mushrooms! I'm not allergic to them, but they destroy the friendly probiotic bacteria in my intestines and give me diarrhea. I'd have to say, "No mushrooms, please!" Regarding that raspberry vodka - it seems like I'm the only person on earth that doesn't like raspberries - at least I have yet to meet another person who doesn't like them. I can eat raspberries if I have to, but I really don't like them.
Hi friend!! Haha yes we did! We wanted a white Christmas this year ❄️ the Polish kielbasa is sooo delicious. Thanks so much for your comment! Cheers friend 🍻
@@JacobandJennyTravel Yes, Jacob and Jenny - the Polish Kielbasa is / was good. I don't remember my Polish grandparents fixing up any mushrooms, though - that was back when I could eat mushrooms. I apologize if I offended any of your readers with my graphic details about mushrooms - was it too much information?
Hello, I assure yo that you will be not hungry in Poland, there is so many options of traditional food that you will have a problem what to choose (not everything contains cabbage and mushrooms although this video focused on that kind of the dishes). Warsaw, for example, is in the top 10 vegan-friendly cities in the world. Moreover, in each restaurant you can tell about your allergies and they will prepare a special version of the dish for you with no problem.
Hot pączki are the best, i.e. they are fresh out of the oven and they are fresh. God, there are so many types of stuffed donuts that it's hard to count them.
If you go to the authentic milk bar the food is not relatively inexpensive but inexpensive. Just be wary that not all milk bars are subsidized by the state. Private ones, aren't. In Warsaw I went to tiny Balkan restaurant and payed for two huge meals including beer and tip 120 pln. Same as you'd pay outside Poland in McDonald for a questionable meal.
Mushoorm sauce with cabage rolls was probably delicuous but you werent acustomed to it. From the soup reaction i guess you just like more pieczarki - cream style mushroom sauce but real shrooms have to be stronger, ofen more salty and toward hunters saus "sos myśliwski (ciemny)". They pair great with gołąbki (cabbage rolls) especially when they arent made with rice but with grit. Rice ones pair better tomato sauce but this is PRL tradition (communist era in last about 70 years).
So basically we have something called “Fat Thursday” (“Tłusty czwartek” )- it’s a day of a year which is basically a national doughnut day ;) anyway it is said that the more doughnuts you eat that day the more luck and money you’ll have later in a year :)
You are very cool but remember first you eat then you drink alcohol And another advice start drinking less alcoholic drinks first, never like first wódka and then something like wine or beer please otherwise you will destroy your stomach and yourself Cheers
"Pączki" we read as a "pochki" with english "o" prenounciation similar to "ow" in word slow and "ch" prenounciation similar as in word "chart". "Paczki" without "ą" but with "a" mean rather parcels (post boxes). So you if you were eating "paczki" not "pączki" then you must digest cellulose. ;-) More tips of polish prenounciation: -ó and u are prenounced like english oo in word wood -ę as is prenounced like english ell in word well -ch and h in polish are prenounced like english h in word hamburger -rz and ż in polish are prenounced like english g in word mirage but with hard not soft prenunciation -ł is prenounced like english w in word wood -dż is prenounced like G in name George. -polish w is prenounced like english v in word vein
Adding sour cream to pierogi dumpligs or potato pancakes is not a Polish way of seving those dishes. You are turning our cuisine into a Ukrainian one. Ah, well... Smacznego!
in Poland ther is a culture of going into forest to pick up mushrums , ofcorse you need to have the knowlage what to pick :)
Yeah, it’s kind of national sport :)
Oczywiście,że leśne grzyby są najlepsze. Ale polskie pieczarki mają zapach i smakują. Na Zachodzie nie pachną. 😂
Dobrze, że lasy są państwowe, w większości krajów są prywatne.

Hi, the sauce you mentioned which you had with golabki was made of wild mushrooms “maślaki” I think, based on how it looked like, and it is definitely harder to digest😅

I am sure they are amazing!! We will have to try them 🤤
:D You make my mouth water :D
All the food is so delicious 🤤 thanks for watching!
In my experience, most of mushroom sauce is made from cultivated mushrooms such as champignon, or a more widely available wild mushrooms such as chanterelles. For dishes such as bigos it's generally preferred to use bay bolete or porcini for their distinct taste.
On a note of pastries, my favorite is a Napoleonka. Best way to describe it is two layers of a cream that is like a cross between custard and NY-style cheesecake, between three layers of flaky puff pastry, and sprinkled with powdered sugar on top. Highly recommend it if you spot it somewhere.
Another classic polish dish to try is a golonka (pork hock or pork picnic). Beer braised and flame grilled is the best. Served with mustard, horseradish, sour pickle, and bread... and pairs great with beer.
That is interesting!! All that sounds so delicious 🤤 especially the pastry! Thank you so much for watching :)
Always make a great video ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much friend 🎉
Poles love soups. In Poland, there is no Sunday dinner without soup. Soup is always served as the first course. The most classic Zapiekanka is one with mushrooms and yellow cheese, sprinkled with chives.
The soup in Poland has been sooo delicious! Thank you so much for watching friend :)
You must try the pork shank, it's delicious😍
That sounds amazing!! We will give it a try! Thanks for your recommendation :)
When you are already in Poland, you could visit the Czech Republic, it is right below Poland, here you will also experience a beautiful ancient city and a completely different atmosphere, but you need to go to more cities than Prague, it is very touristy.
We definitely want to visit Czech Republic soon!! I spent two weeks there back in college and absolutely loved it! I was in the small town of Cesky Teskin :) thanks so much for watching!
Powiem wam że to co wam smakuje w restauracjach jak pierogi bigos , żurek w wykonaniu domowym są o wiele, wiele leps, to jest namiastka tego co my jemy w domu .Powiem ci jakie są różnice ; Bigos to stare danie które na polowaniach jedli królowie i szlachta polska . Składała się z kapusty i różnych gatunków mięsa także wędzonych i diczyzny , przypraw . W kadzi to gotowało się wiele godzin a je się przegryzając chlebem i tak w domach się robi dotychczas . Pierogi robi się z różnym nadzieniem , ziemniaki z białym serem z kapustą i grzybami a także na słodkoz samym białym serem , z leśnymi jagodami , z śliwkami a także truskawkami . Zupę Żurek musi mieć białą kiełbasę , jajko ugotowani i dużo ziół .. Polacy na swięta z zup jedzą zupę grzybową lub czerwony barszcz z uszkami - uszka to takie małe pierożki nadziewane farszem z mięsa a i dużo różnych ciast jak pierniki , serniki , mazurki , orzechowce i wie innych . Jest jeszcze jeden przysmak na te święta którego nigdy nie jedliście i chyba nie słyszeliście jest to Kutia .Kutia znana jest głównie ze wschodnich terenów Polski , Jest to przysmak z dzicięcych czasów . Jest to z robione z kaszy pęcak , dużo ugotowanego i zmielonego maku , miód , orzechy i bakalie to wszysto wymieszane i podawane na zimnio no i jest to słodkie ismaczne .W restauracji której byliście w tle była muzyka górali Polskich z Tatr . Namawiam na zobaczenie stolicy zimowej Zakopane , 2 godziny autobusem od Krakowa ,zobaczycie Polskie góry i charakterystyczną kulturę polskich górali .
Wow that is such amazing information!! Thank you for sharing all of that with us. We are headed to Zakopane so we will get to experience the real highlander culture! Thanks again :)
Pierwotny bigos nawet nie miał kapusty, zaczęto ją dodawać jako wypełniacz.
Smakuje?😂 Na zdrowko! Spróbujcie też zup. Surówek. To w małych miseczkach przed daniem to czekadelko .Smalczyk z cebulą, ziołami i mięsem czy kiełbasą.
Everything tastes so good!! Polish food is incredible 🇵🇱🍻 thanks for the recommendation!
@@JacobandJennyTravel Cyprus People waching your movie .Thank you for your job.👍❤️❤️❤️🤞
Jenny likes everything 😂❤❤❤
Hahaha I do 😂🙌🏼
Homemade lard is a very healthy grease, fat . Enjoy it ♥️

That sounds amazing! Thank you for the recommendation :)
Omg jacob taking one for the team, trying the lard 😂😅
Hahaha truly 😂 so glad he did it, so I didn’t have to lol
Milky bars 🤣 not melt bars, you are awesome guys 💯
A bar mleczny (literally translated as "milk bar" from Polish) is a Polish cafeteria provid government-subsidized traditional Polish cuisine at low cost. The name comes from cheese cutlets, which were often sold when meat was rare. The first milk bar, called "Mleczarnia Nadświdrzańska," was established in 1896 in Warsaw by Stanisław Dłużewski, a member of the Polish landed gentry. Although the typical bar mleczny had a menu based on dairy items, these establishments generally also served other, non-dairy traditional Polish dishes as well. The commercial success of the first milk bars encouraged other businessmen to copy this type of restaurant. As Poland regained its independence after World War I, milk bars appeared across most of the country. They offered relatively cheap but nourishing food, and thus achieved even more prominence during the economic depression of the 1930s and World War II. After the fall of the Nazi regime, Poland became a communist state in the Eastern Bloc. Contrary to official propaganda, the majority of the population was poor, and even moderately-priced restaurants were derided as "capitalist". During the post-war years, most restaurants were nationalized and then closed down by the communist authorities. In the mid-1960s, milk bars were common as a means of offering cheap meals to people working in companies that had no official canteen. They still served mostly dairy-based and vegetarian meals, especially during the period of martial law in the early 1980s, when meat was rationed. They became small, inexpensive restaurants that took advantage of PRL nostalgia, while providing good quality food and customer service. Due to their good locations, milk bars often fall victim to gentrification and are defended by activist groups. Today milk bars are privately owned, but partly subsidized by the state, which allows it to offer low prices.
Learn pall,
That is so interesting and such great information. Thank you for sharing that with us :)
You should try the "Pod Baranem" restaurant
Thank you so much for the recommendation :)
I miss Poland so much, so I wanted to watch some videos and came across yours.
What are the names of the places you ate at? It would be appreciated if you shared that. Thank you!
It is such an amazing place. We had a great time time. Thank you so much for your comments!!
I want now Zapiekanka 😂
It is so delicious 🤤
16:20 at first looks i was thinking zapiekanka with stawberries? but it was tomatoes , silly me :)
Hahaha!! 🍓 thanks so much for watching!
Bigos always with the bread. So this top bread hat should be eaten mixup with the dish. Then the rest of the bread part after part while the bigos disappears.
That is good to know!! Thanks for the information friend :)
Great vid. Going there for 3rd time this year.
Gotta say though regarding that mushroom soup, it's not noodles it's just pasta.
Noodles are Asian.
Have a great trip :) thanks for the information!
You’re an amazing couple
You are so kind!! Thank you so much :)
OMG I'm hungry now
Hahaha!! Everything was so delicious 🤤 thank you for watching!
The smokie taste comes from dried , smoked plums
Bigos is not a stew. It's a trafitional meal with cabbage and meat/kiełbasa :)
That is good to know! It is so delicious 🤤 thanks for the information :)
It is a kind of stew. The smoky flavour Jacob mentioned might come from red wine, which is added and then gets reduced during the process of cooking bigos. There might also be prunes in it which add that flavour.
Fun fact: Dunkin' Donuts tried to get big in Poland twice but both times had to close their business because Poles preferred their own donuts. Cheaper and better.
That is so interesting! We for sure think Polish donuts are better haha!! Thanks for watching :)
Kanał super. Pozytywna energia. Gratuluję.
Thank you so much friend!! ♥️
Zapiekanka (last food u had) thing of it as Polish Pizza
It is delicious 🤤 we loved it!! Thanks for watching :)
It's cabbage mixed with sour kraut 😁
So delicious!!
Pierogi are the best😊
Yes they are 🤤
Can I get this guy's skincare routine? His skin is like perfect 😂
Hahaha right?! I wish I had his skin 🙌🏼 the funny thing is, he does nothing, just water. Thank you for the compliment!
Milk bara was popular, they are still but is not many of them
That is good to know!! Thanks for sharing :)
Delish💌
It was so good 🤤 thanks for watching!
You have tasted nationwide dishes. But would you have the courage to taste black pudding, brawn or lung dumplings?
We have not 😅 hahaha
They should give you some sour pickles with this lard. It tastes whole lot better then.
That is good to know!! We need to try it. Thanks for the information :)
We Poles have a lot of good food and lots of delicious soups

Hey there, just to let you know, you did not miss a step there while reviewing Polish food. "Zapiekanki" - a hard yes. People in Poland do not appreciate them to the extent we used to as we have a "kebap" on every corner now (and yes, those quotation marks are not a mistake). Also, the cabbage roll with minced pork meat "gołąbki" is normally served with a tomato souce. Local people in Cracow do it differently but we still like them :) The sour soup in bread is prevalent everywhere in Poland. I do not think you got what you intended, so next time just show them: "żurek w chlebie" and they will do it right. Since we are talking about soups, you should also try: "rosół" (chicken and/or sometimes beef/mutton/duck), but we also have a version of a tomato soup (like gazpacho in Spain but served hot with noodles "pomidorowa"), "ogórkowa" that used to be my favourite when I was a child that is made of pickles in brine - whatever that means - and other vegetables like potatoes and carrot. And the answer is yes, that is only a small gist what Polish cuisine has to offer. You should visit different areas in Poland as regionally you might find some other distinctions. You might think that a Polish pork cutlet/chop "schabowy" is the same everywhere. Well... it is not. But yes, we like dill and butter on our boiled and mashed potatoes. Sue us :P We do not do that with the roasted ones, obviously. And yes, you might see a sour cream in different dishes. With "schabowy" you sometimes get "mizeria" which consists of cucumber and sour cream (served either sweet or plain, you never know). I know those tips are not much, but I am really grateful you took the time to taste the greatest/most known dishes of the Polish cuisine. Oh, btw, you should go to "Zakopane". You will find some other culinary gems you cannot encounter in the rest of Poland. Just a thought. Take care!
Wow this all sounds soooo delicious! Polish food has been so delicious and we just want to keep trying new things. Thank you so much for all the wonderful information :)
Best mizeria imho is with sour cream mixed with both sugar and lemon juice, in a perfect balance.
Tak, zimą jemy rozgrzewające zupy, mięsa - mielony sznycel z buraczkami, schabowy z kapustą, bigosy, mięsa pieczone, dieta śródziemnomorska nie sprawdziłaby się, ryby są całorocznym menu.
All so delicious! Our favorite was the mushroom soup 🤤 thank you for watching!!
you should try hazelnut-flavored vodka
Wow that sounds delicious! We definitely will 🤤 thanks for the recommendation!
Hi, I spent 4 daysin Krakow this summer , there was a milk bar with even better reviews than this one, food was cheap but unreal good!
That is awesome!! We need to try some more out!
Hello again Jacob and Jenny! You sure picked a cold place to spend the holiday season - in Poland. It just so happens that my mother's family is from Poland - my mom's parents were both Polish immigrants. The main Polish food I remember from my childhood is Polish sausage, or Kielbasa - which it seems that you didn't eat in this video. From the food that you did sample, it doesn't look like I could eat very much of it, and I would probably go hungry in Poland. You see, I can't eat mushrooms! I'm not allergic to them, but they destroy the friendly probiotic bacteria in my intestines and give me diarrhea. I'd have to say, "No mushrooms, please!" Regarding that raspberry vodka - it seems like I'm the only person on earth that doesn't like raspberries - at least I have yet to meet another person who doesn't like them. I can eat raspberries if I have to, but I really don't like them.
Hi friend!! Haha yes we did! We wanted a white Christmas this year ❄️ the Polish kielbasa is sooo delicious. Thanks so much for your comment! Cheers friend 🍻
@@JacobandJennyTravel Yes, Jacob and Jenny - the Polish Kielbasa is / was good. I don't remember my Polish grandparents fixing up any mushrooms, though - that was back when I could eat mushrooms. I apologize if I offended any of your readers with my graphic details about mushrooms - was it too much information?
Hello, I assure yo that you will be not hungry in Poland, there is so many options of traditional food that you will have a problem what to choose (not everything contains cabbage and mushrooms although this video focused on that kind of the dishes). Warsaw, for example, is in the top 10 vegan-friendly cities in the world. Moreover, in each restaurant you can tell about your allergies and they will prepare a special version of the dish for you with no problem.
Out of all the milk bars in Kraków they chose to go to the most expensive one.
Darn it haha🤪
Hot pączki are the best, i.e. they are fresh out of the oven and they are fresh. God, there are so many types of stuffed donuts that it's hard to count them.
It was so delicious when it was hot! And warmed our hands up haha!! Polish donuts are amazing 🍩 thanks for watching!
Contrary to popular believe, vodka was created in Poland (not in Russia). We know our stuff ;) Glad you enjoy our delicacies :)
That is so interesting!! The vodka we had was so delicious 🤤 thanks for the information friend :)
YES, comparing to, for example, England, the FOOD IN POLAND IS UNREAL :)
We loved it!! Thanks for watching friend :)
If you go to the authentic milk bar the food is not relatively inexpensive but inexpensive.
Just be wary that not all milk bars are subsidized by the state. Private ones, aren't.
In Warsaw I went to tiny Balkan restaurant and payed for two huge meals including beer and tip 120 pln. Same as you'd pay outside Poland in McDonald for a questionable meal.
That is good to know. Thank you so much for the information :)
👍
🙌🏼
❤❤I would like to see how you would react if you visited the "WIELCZKA" SALT MINE ❤❤
We have heard it’s amazing! We definitely need to go there someday! Thank you for watching :)
Hello there. You should try pierogi with buckwheat and sweet cream. They're really good.
That sounds delicious!! Thanks for the recommendation :)
Mushoorm sauce with cabage rolls was probably delicuous but you werent acustomed to it. From the soup reaction i guess you just like more pieczarki - cream style mushroom sauce but real shrooms have to be stronger, ofen more salty and toward hunters saus "sos myśliwski (ciemny)". They pair great with gołąbki (cabbage rolls) especially when they arent made with rice but with grit. Rice ones pair better tomato sauce but this is PRL tradition (communist era in last about 70 years).
Interesting! Thank you for the information :)
So basically we have something called “Fat Thursday” (“Tłusty czwartek” )- it’s a day of a year which is basically a national doughnut day ;) anyway it is said that the more doughnuts you eat that day the more luck and money you’ll have later in a year :)
Hahaha that is amazing!! We need to do that next year 🍩😂
You are very cool but remember first you eat then you drink alcohol
And another advice start drinking less alcoholic drinks first, never like first wódka and then something like wine or beer please otherwise you will destroy your stomach and yourself
Cheers
yeah, always 1. beer, 2. wine, 3. vodka, otherwise you will get sick :)
@@Barbara..._ yeah...but it's always better wódka, wódka, wódka
Cheers
Haha! Thanks for the advice friend 🍻 cheers!!
If you drink pour vidka you should breathe out. It simply way to drink all stronger Polish % drinks.
That is good to know!! Thanks for the information :)
u know its my city???
That’s amazing! It’s a great place :)
yes but expensive :(@@JacobandJennyTravel
"Pączki" we read as a "pochki" with english "o" prenounciation similar to "ow" in word slow and "ch" prenounciation similar as in word "chart". "Paczki" without "ą" but with "a" mean rather parcels (post boxes). So you if you were eating "paczki" not "pączki" then you must digest cellulose. ;-)
More tips of polish prenounciation:
-ó and u are prenounced like english oo in word wood
-ę as is prenounced like english ell in word well
-ch and h in polish are prenounced like english h in word hamburger
-rz and ż in polish are prenounced like english g in word mirage but with hard not soft prenunciation
-ł is prenounced like english w in word wood
-dż is prenounced like G in name George.
-polish w is prenounced like english v in word vein
That is so helpful!! Thank you so much for the tips :)
first
Thanks for watching :)
Try Gdańsk christmas market 😃
We definitely want to!! Thank you for the recommendation :)
Dlaczego siedzicie w kurtce w restauracji. Przeciez w srodku jest cieplo, a na zewnatrz zimno.
I guess it felt cold to us in there haha🇵🇱😂
Adding sour cream to pierogi dumpligs or potato pancakes is not a Polish way of seving those dishes. You are turning our cuisine into a Ukrainian one. Ah, well... Smacznego!
That is good to know!! Thanks for the great information :)
Enjoy......from now in Poland you will always be treated like royalty
Thank you friend! We are loving Poland 🇵🇱
