About the obwarzanek which you ate at the beginning of the video. Outside vendors have sometimes really dry version of it because they're in the open for almost all day and they often , same as bread, become stale really fast, but the fresh obwarzanek is crispy on the outside and really soft on the inside.
There is also Muzeum Obwarzanka in Krakow where you can buy some of the freshiest obwarzanki in the city and also, if you're interested, they can teach you during workshop (in English also) how to make one! Totally recommend you to try it.
and also what is a recognised a way of eating them is to slice them on a half way and butter it up :) cheers
and obwarzanek is one of this kind of bread is much healthier when is old and dry, and you have a cup of black tea or kakao (polish hot milk drink with cacao powder and or without sugar) and you dive dry bread in your drink, wait a moment to bread absorb some drink and fast it this. it is much healthier for youre stomach (for old people in general) and in this form it was a god meal for poor people
1:03 you said its like polish bagel ,but bagel is also from Poland
Yep. The polish Jews popularized them in the States.
Bagels are based on obwarzanek, Jews wanted it but kosher so they made their own version of it, which we all knows as: bagel.
But Taste the same
i wonder how many foreigners actually watch this video to learn about other cultures and how many viewers are just homesick emigrants happy to hear some praise about food they grew up on. Especially that this time it was my home city. Living in UK i can see cousine from all over the world, but some basic polish foods are just not there no matter how hard you look. I envy that zapiekanka... im hungry now
Całkiem nieźle radzisz sobie z wymową polskich nazw. Fajnie, że szukasz miejscówek, gdzie czeka cię językowe wyzwanie. Odwiedzać miejsca, gdzie wszystko jest zapisane po angielsku, to żadna sztuka. Kulturę danego kraju poznaje się najlepiej poprzez autentyczność i wyjątkowość miejsca, wliczając w to oryginalną komunikację.
You have a great voice! Greetings from Poland
Classic zapiekanka is fantastic, but that Royal zapiekanka.. Well. What can I say, other than someone named it right! What an incredibly tasty-looking monster and your choice of sauces elevated it even further.
Zapiekanka is one of the most underrated street foods. Tried a lot of kebabs, best I tried in Germany with pork (sold by Turks oO ), pizzas, noodles, fish and chips, burgers etc. Only the fancy 11$ Burger made of seasoned beef in a burger house overcomes good zapiekanka, but is it still a "street" food when you pay money like that ;)
You're good at describing flavors. I appreciate that in my food reviewer.
Thank you for the support!!
Great tourist selfies.
So nice to see you made a long video filming yourself when visiting Krakow.
Welcome and keep up the interesting work!
Thank you! 😃
Zapiekanki took off as a street food during the communist period . OFC the one you had is considerably upgraded over what was sold back then (the classic version is just mushrooms, cheese, ketchup optionally with ham).
Naleśniki are Polish pancakes, but they're more versatile than just as a dessert - more savoury ones with fillings like cheese, ham, mushrooms etc are also quite popular. If you're ever in Opole between October and May, there's a riverside restaurant "Grabówka" next to the Most Groszowy (fairly close to city center) that specializes in naleśniki and has been running for close to fourty years now. Amazing place.
WOW ! Last year's just show how amazing poland is for tourist's....the food ,the spaces. the safety :D
Im glad to hear its nice for tourists, pity its not so nice for its citizens.
Wierzynek - on the old market square, this is a restaurant open since the Middle Ages. The interiors are stunning, the food is top class. Princess Diana once ate there.
It's incredible how good you're at interpretation local cultures and getting feel of it
classic zapiekanka is just long baguette with mushrooms and cheese (and maybe some ham) and ketchup but this zapiekanka you order with such big number of ingredients is modern version
Yes, best zapiekanka is classic zapiekanka, just cheese, onion and mushrooms and ketchup. Classic zapiekanka is like Neapolitan pizza to all pizza's, simple the best. And like you said, everything else is modern version of it, depends on who likes what :)
Dont forget onion!
@@mk1430 classic zapiekanka is basically the blank canvas for any topping on it, you cannot make a zapiekanka if you dont use baguette, mushrooms and cheese
Pierogi : meat, white cheese, potato, berries, strawberries, green mix.
Kotlet : chicken mashed, pork mashed, pork-ham mashed. Fried on pork fat or butter - gives different flavour.
Oscypki - from mountains - white salty smoked cheese. Best ? fried with cranberries. Also as addon to various meat and salad dishes.
Łazanki - basicly its a onion, 4 corner macaroni and other mix. Also magnificent taste.
We got Drożdżówki - they mix with a lot of various addons.. ground fruits and other. Need to make a day with all (at least 10 different) mixed with sip of milk and tea.
Mielony + red beetroot salad- if its crispy fired mixed meat coutlet then you will be in heaven.
Even HotDog we love to eat with salad and souce mix in bun. More healthy than in USA.
Soups - this we have a LOT. One day full stomach .. if you fit it all .
and more i didnt mention.
Pączek with sour cherry (pączek z wiśnią)wins though. It is the best !
Polish donuts, I assure you that no Pole will be offended. There are donuts all over the world and everyone makes them in their own way, Poland has its own version. I'm glad you liked it, I always think that Polish food is the best, it may not look as exquisite as French food, but it tastes much better.
Thank you for visiting! Next time you should definitely go to Poznan, Gdansk, Torun (where Copernicus lived) and Wroclaw
damn dude i could hear you trying to talk in polish and i just wan to say a massive well done to you becouse your pronounciation is really really good
Też to zauważyłam, dobry akcent.
Thank you!
super, że smakowało :)
Yummy 😃😋
Food in Poland is big - donuts, sausage, zapiekanki 👍
But not as big as it is in the US. ;)
Welcome in Poland :)))
I could see this video now but I will say to you. Im very proud 'cause zapiekanki is the one of the which doesnt have a dishes for comparse.
Glad you liked it, Poland may not be Italy, but the food is usually very comforting due to history of bitter winters. That's why the food is so filling.
Thank you!
Are you trolling? Poland doesn't need to copy Italy, Poland is Poland we dont copy we print traditions.
Zapiekanka (singular form, "zapiekanki" is plural ;)) is very similar to bruschetta. I don't know where it came from and which city was the first one to make them here in Poland. These used to be way more simple back in the day with the bread, cheese, mushrooms and ketchup on the top. Now they're fancier and rich. I'd definitely enjoy that one. Great choice, cause there are many UA-camrs which visit this square and they're all very pleased with their food
I don't think every place has fresh fruit but the most popular ones do stay on the town's or city's map for a reason. :) There are some that probably cheat a little but it happens less than it used to during the 90s. Chopin was polish but he's lived in France, so maybe the naleśniki came here because of him? Who knows? :) Same thing: it's one naleśnik, many naleśniki.
Glad you've enjoyed the food here in our country. May I ask what's your nationality? I enjoy the Asian cuisine and I bet your country has some great dishes as well.
zapiekanka is NOTHING like bruschetta - originally, "classic" zapiekanka baguette should be on the softer side, with mushrooms and cheese on top, powdered with sweet paprika (more for colour than for flavour) - all baked, but keep in mind, bread should still have some softness in it. Bruschetta on the other hand is a crusty baked/fried slice of bread/Italian-style baguette, on a harder side, with FRESH tomato/garlic/basil mix on top.
@@piotrlewandowski Dude. It was a very loosely used term. Yikes...
Welcome in Poland ;) Dzień dobry ;)
Great job on ordering stuff in Polish , looking at Your adventure I wish I could be there with You helping U in getting the names end meaning of Polish food/names like PONCZKI ! Great overall try Flaki Bigos itp. next time ;)
Thank you so much!!
Pączki, nie PONCZKI, baranie. Naucz się sam polskiego, bo robisz obciach.
Schabowy is shallow fried. Other than that, it's super cool you like our food!
Obwarzanki came from 14th century. And: "the first bagels also came out of the Krakow oven, probably in the 17th century. They are still being relocated in various countries, but they are available in the cities of New York and Montreal."
That zapiekanka OMG!! I would put a wasabi souse on it and murder that open sandwich geez!! looks absolutely delicious!
Hi, if you visit Warsaw, you must try small bakery - Tadam. They have very limited production (1 store open during weekends, you probably will have to queue), but all they make is just heaven!
3:44 "Grape juice on steroids" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Actually Schabowy isn't deep fried, it's not that much oil when you fry it tbh, you fry it on the pan, and the oil amount most of the time is like 2/3 spoons per one chicken/pork fillet (yes schabowy can be both pork or chicken though the name suggest it should be pork KEKW), zapiekanki is like Polish fastfood "pizza" it goes with lots of different ingredients depends mostly on the people running the shop, mostly the base is the champignons or mushrooms fried on a pan with onion and spices and cheese on top and ketchup as sause on the cheese - that's the traditional zapiekanka, the one You had was one of like unique recipies that is sold in the shop you bought ^^. Really love how you enyojed our Polish foods while you were in Poland, gread review and thank You for all the compliments ! :D
Bullcrap. If it's made from chicken meat than it isn't a schabowy. It's just kotlet z kurczaka.
@@AmartharDrakestone nope, people like to simplify things, that's why sometimes Schabowy can be from chicken breast and called that, i've seen it myself a lot of times
Recepy for Polish obwarzanki is very rare bakery, they firsly are floating in the water, and then go to the oven.
Kotlet needs potatoes and some kind of salad. Pierogi it's a complete dish. No poles would eat it together and no restaurant should serve it this way. But it was a milk bar and probably no one knew how to tell you that.
Greetings from Kraków:)
7:19 "pączkarnia" is roughly pronounced "ponchkarnia".. as we pronounce "ą" more or less like "on" in "wrong" but this sound is a bit more nasal.. hence, we pronounce "pączek" just like "ponchek".. btw. the name of this chain of "pączek shops" is a nice portmanteau, it blends "pączek" and "piekarnia" (Polish term for a bakery) and it's just the name of this particular business, their brand name, not a word that we normally use to describe these kinds of shops, Polish people mostly buy 'pączki' at bakeries , patisseries, and cake shops, and they cost half the price you paid in one of these "tourist traps" ;) I'm pretty sure most of the Poles who were in the line were also tourists.. fun fact: people from Kraków are known for being frugal ;)
Thank you for all the information! 🙏
❤
We really have good food here in Poland, but also is very unhealthy. We are glad that you like it!
True enough Raw vegan diet would be better Ah?
"Zapiekanka" literally means "something that is baked", and I gotta say you chose one of the best options available. Were you recommended this option or did you go by intuition? Either way, glad you enjoyed the food and the city! Love from Poland
I tried it because it looked like the best on the menu! Really a great choice!!
All best from P😊LAND
if You really want polish donut try one with rose !!
Racja, najlepsze.
@@rikak5703 i polskie
mieszkam w niemczech i bylem w wielu krajach ale z różą to tylko w pl są
actually the kotlet isnt deep fried! its just very well fried !
I remember when zapiekanki cost like 8zł, now they can even cost 20zł or more
you shoud also visit "wilczy dół" which is restaurand themed from The Witcher series. Food there is amazing!!!!
Obwarzanek krakowski is a very old baked product. We know that it appeared at the royal court in the 14th century. Bagels also come from Krakow. Krakow Jews baked them already in the 17th century. It was an occasional bread. Bagels were given to women after a successful childbirth. Emigrants brought it to the USA in the 19th century. You must read about the economic crisis of the 1980s in Poland. That's how you'll understand zapiekanka - casserole. There was nothing in the shops. Small gastronomy went bankrupt. Someone bought old baguettes, mushrooms, cheese and ketchup. He baked it. This is how the casserole was created.
Thank you so much for the history! Appreciate it!
🤗
Poles are proud of their apples.
Did you know that during the pandemic in 2020, Poland was responsible for 1/4 of global apple production?
Haha I didn’t know that! That’s incredible!
I'm surprised you can get such a filling snack for 2.50 PLN in a major city these days. It's a damn steal. P.S. Of all the pierogi variants, I'd steer clear of the meat ones. It's just the worst kind of meat and hardly tastes like meat. There's at least a dozen different ones to try.
y'know pastry is supposed to be plain, because you can do whatever you want with it, like bread :D
there are probably filled obwarzanki too, but I don't know, I'm from Poland but I don't really eat it :D
Pierogi is plural. Pierog is singular. Since you pronounce "pierogi" as "perogy," you can also pronounce "pierog" as "perog."
Obwarzanki is not a Polish thing, it's mostly Cracow :)
Hi. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay in Poland.
I have some things to say though... I've watched all 3 videos from Kraków and it was quite painful at times. All of them seem to be full or "mistakes", like you did zero research in advance or you were badly misinformed.
1) You missed almost all of the key traditional dishes (żurek, bigos, pierogi ruskie, golonka, flaki),
2) You called some non-polish food traditional Polish food (chimney cakes),
3) The bugle-call story is that bugler was badly wounded with an arrow during one of the Tatar's invasions of the Kraków. He was unable to finish the bugle-call. That's why it's cut off.
4) The thought of buying kompot in the grocery stores is crazy for me,
5) I'm not sure about which of Kraków's shopping malls do you consider the biggest (in Poland? in Europe?) but I'm pretty sure none of these are in Kraków,
6) Not all basillicas are cathedrals
Please do more research before your next trip.
Greetings from Poland
i appriciate that asian guy said we polish people can handle spicy food and we eat it as eveyone always says our food is suppose to be bland, yea sure not everything is spicy but you want to taste flavours too...
I have to correct you. Kotlet schabowy isnt deep fried. We dont deep fried anything(only american fast foods do that). A Kotlet schabowy is a piece of meat that has been pounded (with a metal hammer) flat. Then rubbed with spices. Then covered with a glaze of flour, egg and breadcrumbs. And then fried in a thin layer of oil in a pan.
I dont know if in any bar mleczy(becose some can go full comercialized) but usualy any food, including pierogi, there is made in a spot. Thats why bar mleczny is synonymous with "home made cooking".
About pączki(typical pączki are round like a bun) and donuts this is kinda funny. Becose donuts where crated by i think a polish Jew that imigrated to US. So donuts are reworked pączki. And from US they came into poland. So its kinda loop. They made way to their origin.
You pronouns Zapiekanka is perfect.
Naleśniki are usualy filled with choco like nuttela or with white sweet cheese. But there is also something called krokiet. Which is basicaly naleśnik wraped in form of tube filled with... usualy meat. But there is also for example with mushrooms and cabbage. And they are fried similiar like Kotlet schabowy.
Thank you!!! 🙏
Thank you!!! 🙏
Those naleśniki aren't really representative, too much overwhelmed by fruits and sweetnes. If you want so much sweetness on top get twaróg (white cheese) as a filling. Or get them in flat triangle not a roll. Also try them with meat and borsch, but that is harder to find.
2:30 you need to cut it horizontally and put some polish butter...
I didn't even know zapiekanka was Polish, and I live in Poland. I thought it is everywhere like burgers or something.
Schabowy smakuje najbardziej z ziemniakami i surówką!!to danie obiadowe!samych kotletiw nie jemy!
1:50 - There are better obwarzanki/bagelsin Krakow than those on the street. Most bakeries have very good obwarzanki/bagels
2:30 it is the best to eat it with a glass of milk
I'm glad that you enjoyed your stay in Kraków but as a middle aged, grumpy men I've got few words to say. What you saw is a facade made for tourists. From that perspective my city looks beautiful, like a medival disneyland. But imagine that people who work in that "donut shop" earn something around 700usd per month! Is that $2 pączek still cheap to you? To rent one bedroom flat in Kraków, you have to pay at least $500 without media in bad neighbourhood. Secondly Kraków is the city with one of the worst traffic in whole Europe where you have to spend 1-2 hours to travel around 6 miles every day. This is not a city to live anymore, just a tourist attraction.
Obwarzanek is like bagel.
bagels actually come from Poland (one of countries of course, there's also Israel and germany)
Where arę you from ??
bro obwarzanek is OG bagel
Nie wiem gdzie tak robią ale u mnie to na bajgle nie mówimy obwarzanki, obwarzanki są małe okrągłe i nawinięte na sznurek i sprzedawane na odpustach.
bagel 🥯 cream cheese?
Haha no - just a bagel
spróbuj boczku wędzonego u bekusa ze skrajnicy co prawda kupiony w dino ale sprzedaje jako swojskie.
Bagels are americanised obwarzanki. Polish jews started selling them in america.
Bajgel w stanach to obwarzanek. Do Stanów dotarł z Polski przepis.
Nie spróbowałeś polskich znanych potraw bigos, pierogi ruskie, żurek, golonka, placki ziemniaczane to takie podstawowy zapiekanki to fastfood nie polska kuchnia
ale polski fast food, chyba jedyny jaki jest unikatowy dla Polski
THe best zapiekanka in Poland - Opoczno Anżellika
firstly
kotlet schabowy - is not deep fried, is pan fried, secondly this isnt light butter. is a egg with bread crumbs.
so u know.
Say "Pawn-check"
2:20 obwarzanek isn't good in every place and with cheese is the best. It's boring, because we're eating that for a lunch in school and it's cheap, so you're buying it if you don't want to overpay. that's my point of view
5:12 Pierogi is already plural, there's no need to add "s", sounds odd :) in Polish typical plural suffixes are "I" and 'y".. and we say "1 pieróg" , "2 pierogi".. letter "ó" is pronounced like 'oo' in 'food' but in plural in changes into plain "o'.. that's why you also shouldn't say "one pierogi" :D because for us, Polish, it sounds like e.g. "one dogs"
w Polsce też robimy taki błąd,gdy mówimy czipsy
@@Hubert_G ale nie w przypadku “czipów”, gdy mamy na myśli układy scalone... w polskim wiele angielskich słów modyfikujemy... np. wyrzucamy ostatnie „g” ze słowa „leggings” , no i dodatkowo po „s” dodajemy jeszcze nasze „y” ;)
ostatnie "g" w legginsach jest nieme w każdym języku ryju @@adamw.3409
If you'd learn few words pronounciations you'd be amazing at speaking polish! e.g. in "Uniwersytecki", you need to know -cki is -tzkee (ant this also works for -czki like in Pączki)
Or read Pączki like this: Ponchkee
Poland it's not only Kraków
Traditional obwarzanek has only with salt on.
Prawda, takie są najlepsze.
Schabowy needs to go with a side of fried/pickled cabbage and mashed potatoes for the full experience. Otherwise the terrorists win.
jedzonko
There are two different schoold of making kotlet schabowy (i think it is schabowy). When you get thick meat you need more oil so they end up more oily. Iprefer thin meat and less oily. Also stop with the meat pierogi, get some more traditional "ruskie". (and no name is not from Russia, but from Ruś, which is Ukraine and Belarus). Also stop saying 6$ is cheap, if you been here like several years ago you would pay half of this. Not in all places of course but there were many more cheap places which today are all expensive or extinct.
I'm not sure if you liked the zapiekanka
KOTLET ISINT DEEP FRIGHT
Taste żur, grochówka, banka ziemniaczana he
schabowy is not deep fried...
Actually you've pronounced zapiekanki right 😅
Kotlet is not deep fry
do not eat on main roads and squares. These restaurants have poor food because they don't need regular customers.
I really feel like he is hiding somethig what he is about to say to us ...
our food is easy to make and cheap (blame communism poverty), like nalesniki - its only a milk, flour and eggs... thats all, just add something into it (jam) and its done
why do every body not polish (at least msot of them) say ó as an o when it is spelt as u
Crack Off - nawet google translator wie, że to przećpane miasto...
do some reading before you start talking.
If there were no stupid (perhaps criminal) EU regulations, Polish farmers would feed 200 million people.
And all this food would always be better in quality than any other...
So, bon appetit
There is no real street food in poland.
Kotlet was not deep fried :) it was made on a pan, also you should get pierogi ruskie, which in translations means russian, but they are from Kievan Rus which is actually 100% Polish. I am Polish and I never ate zapiekanka with basil sause and tomatoes x) that is not something for locals ;)
