Next time, try golonka, with brown mustard and baby potato. These are sezonal and available around May. Germans add sauerkraut, but I don’t like such combination.
All the food is good i guess but once watch your vid im in mood for making homemade beef zrazy (which you had as modern version pulled beef stuffed dumplings??) Nah you have to try it not the same is thin beef flakes then polish bacon (coz is more like pork belly slice we dont really have bacon bacon 😂😂) and um quarter of gherkin sliced lengthwise all that coloured in hot pan then braised with goods serve in on its own sauce they so fragile and thin and bacon is popping out trying to make its way out that we use strings or toothpicks to hold them whilst braising with some proper fresh mash and cooked sauerkraut cabbage is just delicious ❤❤
Me nan used to cook in water sauerkraut cabbage with bit of salt and lots of pepper also pre fried shrooms and this was legendary even better than bigos once you had that in fridge and wanted to reheat day after she wasn't putting it in water to not rinse out all flavour so she just simply fried it up (warm up) in pan on hot butter and this was masterpiece ❤❤
@@huberttorzewski Polish food isn't greasy. What are you talking about😂😂😂 If you cook oil with food and not the other way around, then that's on the cook, and not on the dish......
I love the Polish series. I think of various types of pierogi, stuffed cabbage, haluski, kielbasa, the polish mushroom soup made with dried mushrooms and Chruscikis bow ties or angel wings. ❤🇺🇸🙏🏻✌🏻
My mother used to make Polish Babka all the time. She would either put poppy seeds in the center or nuts with I think honey or sugar. Did anybody else grow up eating babka?
Guys, this kind of cake with poppy and raisins, rolled, with the sugar frosting on top is called makowiec, not babka. The random babka has nothing inside. There may be a variation of babka, filled with candied fruits like pineapples, peaches or raisins cubes, then this cake is keks.
@@przezswiatnawalizkach my favorite cake is a poppy seed cake, made once for the New Year. A large poppy seed cake with nuts and raisins and dark chocolate icing, eaten cold. Eeech.
OMG !! Major mistake to watch this early in the morning before breakfast. I was salivating and my tummy was just grumbling 😭😭Making me miss Krakow and Polish food.😭
My mother would make pierogi babka knedle (potato dumplings) paczki chrust mazurek and bigos. She was first generation so she learned from her mother. What she didn’t learn from her mother she learned from the cookbook The Art of Polish cooking. She passed 4 years ago and I recently bought a copy of the book (hers was gone). It brings me back to my childhood when I would help her cook. Her tips come back to me like when making the dough for pierogi you mix the eggs with the water and then add it to the flour. Worked like it always did for her. This series took me back to my childhood and to the time I visited Poland when I was 16. Many years ago. Thank you for the food tour and the memories!
Pierogi was the only Polish food that I knew of before watching your videos. I would like to try that potato pancake thing that Phil likes. That looks tasty!
they are really easy to make, and you can cook smaller pancakes instead of one big pancake to try them with different toppings! At my home we like to have them with some sour cream and salt/pepper.
All the food looked absolutely delicious. My mother was polish and she use to make zucchini pancakes served with sour cream. Did anybody else grow up eating zucchini pancakes?
🎉FYI the reason Phil like kapusta is because it’s drained after being brined, then cooked with some pork fat (usually) and wild mushrooms for a long time. The flavors become a very mellow, rich flavor. Sometimes pieces of meat are incorporated also. Glad you liked the food. I think it’s fabulous!
Hey Deana and Phil - placek po węgiersku is a dish unknown in Hungary - it was invented in Poland and only named that way. The other name of this dish is "placek po zbójnicku", "placek drwala" (robber's cake, lumberjack's cake). Hungarians don't make this type of pancakes. Among Polish dishes, I recommend You try soup call "flaczki". Regards from Poland :)
It's been so long since I've had a good tripe soup because tripe's stupid expensive for how little you get in a package and needing to boil it like five times after rinsing thoroughly before you even get to actually using it for soup. Plenty of marjoram, allspice, bay leaves, garlic, and some ginger powder. Our recipe also adds a bit of turmeric.
Hi, I spent almost two years in the Poznan area and only know Bigos and Barscz. I did adopt Bigos and make my own version now. Other dishes worth mentioning:: - Zurek, a sour soup with kwas and egg,. - Kotelet volail. A rolled schnitzel filled with butter and often a date or a fig. -Rye bread with pickles, lard, Wodka and often sausage
Żurek soup is mind blowing the best soup ever. There are several types, for example Kujawski(my favorite)with white sausage and Silesian with smoked meat
@@pinkhope84 it's central, and there's a way we can get in there to start. Plus language skills we have. Then travel around Europe and enjoy looking at where we want to settle or retire.
I'm from Poland and my fav dish are gołąbki :) they usually are with meat and tomato/mushroom sauce but i also like with potatoe and bacon and new version for me with groats and mozarella. You should visit Gdańsk, this city is very beautiful. The are restaurants "Mandu" with pierogi and you can find there boiled, fried, backed etc in mamy unusual flavors you will love it :)
4:36 You mentioned cabbage twice given 'sauerkraut' is the German word for pickled cabbage; you missed shredded mushrooms, the potential of dried plums; of many different variations, there is absolutely lentent (ie. meat-free) bigos also
Najlepsze na świecie. Dzięki za świetne wideo. Pozdrawiam :) My favourite is "chleb ze smalcemi I ogórki kiszone", "schabowy z kapustą i ziemniakami", "zupa grzybowa". I can honestly say that Polish food is the best in the world. Thank you for the great video. Regards! Grüße an unsere deutschen Nachbarn! Ich liebe deine Brezeln und braunen Brötchen!
Greetings from Tricity in Poland :-) I am a vegeterian from over 30 years already but in Poland it is easy to fing vege restaurants or vege options of our national food and other cuisines. I love that you are really prepared to the video -knowledge and actual food. Great job
Pierogi are near the top for me. I've made my own plenty of times, and Americanized them few times (besides standard fillings). Had them filled with: Smoked brisket. Garlic potatoes and cheddar. Sweet chili chicken. Another great one is Golonka (Schweinshaxe). Beer braised and flame charred or smoked. However, the top dish is Bigos. I usually make it with my own home-made smoked sausages or smoked pork butt. Deliciousness all around.
Since all the food they showed looked bland to me, I like your idea of garlic, chili, and flame broiling. I wonder if the restaurants in Poland have a bottle of hot sauce on the table.
@LythaWausW ketchup, mustard, or horseradish is all you're getting as the food is not bland. My modifications are either experimenting, or substitutions for lack of proper ingredients or lack of mastery to prepare it exactly the same. Some street food you can get with spicier flavors as jalapeños, chili sauce, occasionally Sriracha, etc.
You need to try Wigilijny barszcz z uszkami and Placki ziemniaczane and Kremówka. You mentioned you saw Barszcz at stores in packets but they are not nearly as good as the one's made from fresh beetroots fermented for almost a week, I remember a place in Katowice called 101 Pierogi where the Barszcz was incredible and definitely homemade with their personal mix of spices.
Look for a polish Supermarkt in your area. Pretty sure there will be one in Düsseldorf. There you can buy pierogie and the cookies you loved. The produce is allways very fresh and cheaper
My wife and I took 6 weeks vacation in Poland this summer and we ate in so many restaurants and food was amazing and mg favorite dish was flaczki (flaki) tripe soup 😎
Thank you for this video. I'm glad you enjoy our cuisine. If you are still in Poland I recommend you still try our soups. I saw that you ate żurek, I recommend you to try cucumber soup, it is made from fermented cucumbers.
8:00 This is not modernized version. This is actually classic well-known version called Pyzy, orignated from Greater Poland probably. Kluski Śląskie is a regionalized version of it, and it's traditional Silesian dish. So, if so, it's the other way around. Worth mentioning are also Pampuchy from Kujawy region. They are from yeast, not potatoes, and are cooked on steam (very bouncy, mushy and soft). 11:30 Placek po Węgiersku (Hungarian Pancake) or Placek po Zbójnicku (Brigand's Pancake) is from Podhale, the southernmost Tatra's Mountains region.
great stuff! I watched all your series and made me to cook some of those goodies at home! PS. "dosviedanya" is in russian ;) Poles would say "do widzenia" ;) (doh vee-dze-nya)

Protip for making zapiekanki: mushroom base is best if the mushrooms are grated or chopped, salted and set aside for some time. Then they release the water and have a more intense taste.
Nice compilation! Also for your at home zapiekanki-making endeavours, traditionally the champignones would be slowly cooked out in oil/butter(think coarse duxelles) which will give your zapiekanki this signature depth of flavour.
i am vegan for almost 9 years now and for most part i am able to recreate most of the dishes with slight variations, so Polish cuisine while loving meat - does leave some leeway for vegetarian and vegan cuisine. In Lodz where i live there are a couple dozen of spots either solely selling vegan options or non-vegan restaurants with vegan options.
Pączki are the best traditional - with rose jam :D I love gołąbki but in vegeterian options (rice or diffrent groats and vegetables or additional tofu and diffrent stuff)
Phil might like sauerkraut or sauerkohl more if it was thoroughly rinsed in fresh water then drained before using like they do in the Netherlands and Alsace. Chopped apples added also take the salt out.
So glad you liked Silesian food, since I am from the region:) kluski śląskie and rolada are truly my favorite dish, it is time consuming to make, but worth the effort. I won my wife's heart with it;) cheers from Poland, love your content🎉
Great series! Could you do a French or Portugal food tour and maybe visit Grenoble if you do the former. Oh and it would be nice to see you go to a Fortuna Düsseldorf game.
Bigos is one of those dishes where you put whatever scrap meat you have left over into it, so even with your own recipe, it could turn out different each time. It also has dried prunes, so the more you heat up bigos, the more taste it has. Often times people make a large pot of it, and during winter just leave the entire put outside in the cold.
I buy mine Polish food in Polish supermarkets here in the Netherlands. But i'm curious if there also so many Polish supermarkets in Germany as in the Netherlands.
The mystery of pierogi ruskie is it's filling. I mean the chees. Special polish chees called twarog or white chees. The same chees is in sernik (polish chees cake).
'Zapiekanka' as a street food in Poland was mainly popular in the early 2000s. Today it's less popular, because the selection of other various dishes from various cuisines around the world, available as street food, has developed significantly. But based on this nostalgia, there are still bars selling 'zapiekanka', although I personally associate it with poor, unhealthy, cheap food. In general, Polish cuisine is very interesting, apart from the dishes in the video, it's not only pierogi, bigos, sausages and soups, but thousands of various dishes, combinations of meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, mushrooms and all the treasures that Polish fields, forests, lakes and the sea are rich in ❤
Yeah. A lot of Polish cuisine as it's known now is shaped by the years spent as a Soviet puppet after the World Wars - things were scarce and there was relatively little foreign trade, so people came up with various simple, local things to make, and zapiekanki absolutely are that. Now that Poland's more worldly, it's successfully adopted (doner) kebabs as an afterparty meal.
Contrary to appearances, Poles do not eat dumplings that often. I would say that the national dish of Poles is potatoes with pork chop and pickled cucumber or with pickled mushrooms, sauerkraut and red beetroot salad. Soups include tomato soup, white or red borscht, mushroom soup, żurek soup, chicken soup with noodles for Easter and on Sundays.
Fun fact - Hungarian pancake, also called zbójnicki (robber) pancake, is a type of potato pancake. Hungarian pancake does not come from Hungary at all, but from Poland or Slovakia. It is made from potatoes, flour, onion, bacon, lard, garlic, spices and eggs. In Hungary they didnt know the dish but because do much Poles asked about it they are making them in turists areas :D
That 3:45 "Zapiekanki! Ten out of ten. No shit man!" Should be a tv advert slogan, it even rhymes 🤣 Kuebele from 10:27 is actualy Kneble (plural). I think the word is the same in German (die Knebel). Knebel (singular) is a round ball on a string used to gag people so they can't speak. The shape of the dish is just like the ball from the gag and the gooey/chewy texture of the dish makes you unable to speak when eating it 😉
Next time in Poland, there will be more food to taste :) for Deana if she loved "Barszcz czerwony" she should try it with two options- one is "Krokiet" or with "Uszka" those like little pierogies, "Barszcz z uszkami" is dish served mostly during christmas in every Polish house, its traditional, some people go with mashroom soup, but both options are good :) Next time while you will be in Kraków, you should go check village called Ojców, where there are the best smoaked fishes called "Pstrąg Ojcowski". It's nice to watch you, and that you loved Poland, its so underrated country to visit, and I think becouse of the stereotypes, ofc there is chance that accidents may happen, but it can happen everywhere, Poles if not provoked or during daytime are most of the time best people you can met, they will greet you with everything they have :)
It’s so funny to see zapiekanki as a Polish cuisine staple😂 As much as we love them it is the shittiest fast food here (and Yes, drunk food, too!). But we do love our ZAPIEKSY and the ones in Kraków are superdelicious!
Nasza kuchnia jest bardzo smaczna i taka domowa. Niedoceniana niestety 😊 u nas każdy prawie gotuje w domu. My nie jadamy na mieście. Z tąd tradycja i takie pyszności.
You haven't tried other Polish regional dishes such as: fasolka po bretońsku, kartacze, ciapkapusta, babka lub kiszka ziemniaczana, łazanki, karminadle, devolay and soups such as kwaśnica, flaczki, sorrel, cucumber or mushroom soup. Zapiekanka made no sense, it's a typical fast food that is available in a similar version in every country. It's good that you tasted pierogi ruskie, gołąbki, bigos, żurek, and kulebele (although the roulade and Silesian dumplings are better separately). I love Tex Mex flavors, but there is nothing better than Polish cuisine. Greetings from silesia :)
Pączek ,nie wiem gdzie powstał , kto go wynalazł ale wiem że kochamy w Polsce pączki oraz różne nadziewane kremami , owocami ciasta ,jest tego u nas wiele .

Mmmmmmm! Some bigos with a beet soup sounds perfect right now! 🤤
Protip for making zapiekanki: mushroom base is best if the mushrooms are grated or chopped, salted and set aside for some time. Then they release the water and have a more intense taste.
Smacznego ❤ Greetings from central Poland 😊
Now you know it, why we, the polish people are so nice, because we are happy most of the due to our incredible food ;-).
❤
bravo . normalnie to mozna sie poplakac, patrzac na nasze polskie potrawy, ktorych mi tak brakuje na Obczyznie....
Nice compilation!
Also for your at home zapiekanki-making endeavours, traditionally the champignones would be slowly cooked out in oil/butter(think coarse duxelles) which will give your zapiekanki this signature depth of flavour.
Plac Nowy Zapiekanki are just legendary. Low key it's like getting pizza in Italy...
i am vegan for almost 9 years now and for most part i am able to recreate most of the dishes with slight variations, so Polish cuisine while loving meat - does leave some leeway for vegetarian and vegan cuisine.
In Lodz where i live there are a couple dozen of spots either solely selling vegan options or non-vegan restaurants with vegan options.
I'm in love with zurek-a traditional Polish soup characterized by its distinctively sour taste
When I moved from Poland to Korea I would always miss Żurek the most, so whenever I was in Poland I would want to have żurek everyday.
Phil, you are my favorite person on the traveling internet. Your response to Deana’s soft meat comment killed me. lol Love your videos.
Yeah I also love the potato and goulash thing!
The Hunters stew is turned into a soup for Christmas Eve. Also we have the Best Root Soup And Pancki's for Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve!
Pączki are the best traditional - with rose jam :D I love gołąbki but in vegeterian options (rice or diffrent groats and vegetables or additional tofu and diffrent stuff)
Phil might like sauerkraut or sauerkohl more if it was thoroughly rinsed in fresh water then drained before using like they do in the Netherlands and Alsace. Chopped apples added also take the salt out.
So glad you liked Silesian food, since I am from the region:) kluski śląskie and rolada are truly my favorite dish, it is time consuming to make, but worth the effort. I won my wife's heart with it;) cheers from Poland, love your content🎉
Hey, I also live here. Do you know any fine dining polish restaurant?
@@robertgyiran hi bro, try Śląska Prohibicja or Żurownia in Katowice. I also like Boska, it's in Gliwice.
@@rudydelfin697 thanks, Slaska Prohibicja is on my list for a while, I just always forgot to go there :D
Great series! Could you do a French or Portugal food tour and maybe visit Grenoble if you do the former. Oh and it would be nice to see you go to a Fortuna Düsseldorf game.
Bigos is one of those dishes where you put whatever scrap meat you have left over into it, so even with your own recipe, it could turn out different each time. It also has dried prunes, so the more you heat up bigos, the more taste it has. Often times people make a large pot of it, and during winter just leave the entire put outside in the cold.
I buy mine Polish food in Polish supermarkets here in the Netherlands.
But i'm curious if there also so many Polish supermarkets in Germany as in the Netherlands.
Yes they are common here.
Polish food is some of the best tasting food in Europe. It's authentic and special. 🫶🇵🇱
It all looked delicious
The mystery of pierogi ruskie is it's filling. I mean the chees. Special polish chees called twarog or white chees. The same chees is in sernik (polish chees cake).
4:02 Zapiekanki TYLKO Standard!-pieczarki, ser, keczup i buła oczywiście najważniejsza.
Koniecznie sprobujcie krokiety z czerwonym barszczem albo uszkami.(małe pierożki z lesnymi grzybami)Pozdrawiam serdecznie 😂😂😂
Zapraszamy częściej do Polski :* mamy więcej takich przysmaków :)
Guys you should try making zapiekanki with crispy bacon, mushrooms and cheese...obviously with ketchup on top, they're so good 😋
12:20 Doswidania It's in Russian and it's in Polish Do widzenia Robert from Poland 😃😃😃👍👍👍👊👊👊
Też to zauważyłem. Bardzo kłuje w uszy.
@@kleofacjusztrabiwodzielski9506 Nie wiem im sie chyba wydaje ze w Polsce ludzie mówią po rosyjsku
12:19 Jakie daswidania?! To w Rosji u nas to "Do widzenia" albo "do zobaczenia". Widzę tu złośliwość od strony niemiec.
Pierogi , Żurek , Barszcz + Krokiet,Bigos , Tatar
barszcz czerwony jest najlepszym dodatkiem do pierogów z mięsem ,oraz kapustą i grzybami sam może być podawany jako z młodą botwiną i ziemniakami
Have you tried pierogi with champignon? It's amazing!!
10:43 not 'placek zbójnicki'?
'Zapiekanka' as a street food in Poland was mainly popular in the early 2000s. Today it's less popular, because the selection of other various dishes from various cuisines around the world, available as street food, has developed significantly. But based on this nostalgia, there are still bars selling 'zapiekanka', although I personally associate it with poor, unhealthy, cheap food. In general, Polish cuisine is very interesting, apart from the dishes in the video, it's not only pierogi, bigos, sausages and soups, but thousands of various dishes, combinations of meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, mushrooms and all the treasures that Polish fields, forests, lakes and the sea are rich in ❤
Yeah. A lot of Polish cuisine as it's known now is shaped by the years spent as a Soviet puppet after the World Wars - things were scarce and there was relatively little foreign trade, so people came up with various simple, local things to make, and zapiekanki absolutely are that. Now that Poland's more worldly, it's successfully adopted (doner) kebabs as an afterparty meal.
plum jam filled Polish donuts are the best ones!
You should try beetroot siup whit Little dumplings with mashhrums
Contrary to appearances, Poles do not eat dumplings that often. I would say that the national dish of Poles is potatoes with pork chop and pickled cucumber or with pickled mushrooms, sauerkraut and red beetroot salad. Soups include tomato soup, white or red borscht, mushroom soup, żurek soup, chicken soup with noodles for Easter and on Sundays.
Hmm, so gyoza are a national dish from Poland to Japan. If you were guessing what the connection is, I'd say, the Mongols (via China and Korea).
Strawberry white cheese Nalisniki ! 😋😍
If you wanna buy instant Winiary beatroot zup its good
Bigos to potrawa opisana w naszej epopei narodowej " Pan Tadeusz"- to nasze dobro narodowe.
Im italian some of this delicious food i know beacuse my mom is polish 🇵🇱❤
Then you are also part Polish.
@@Carrie-so3ro Yes
Fun fact - Hungarian pancake, also called zbójnicki (robber) pancake, is a type of potato pancake. Hungarian pancake does not come from Hungary at all, but from Poland or Slovakia. It is made from potatoes, flour, onion, bacon, lard, garlic, spices and eggs. In Hungary they didnt know the dish but because do much Poles asked about it they are making them in turists areas :D
I'm glad that I'm able to cook all those dishes by myself 😊😊😊
And it's cottage cheese in Pierogi ruskie not cream cheese 😉
Polish Food is the best! Pierogi and Żurek is must have to try! :)
That 3:45 "Zapiekanki! Ten out of ten. No shit man!" Should be a tv advert slogan, it even rhymes 🤣
Kuebele from 10:27 is actualy Kneble (plural). I think the word is the same in German (die Knebel). Knebel (singular) is a round ball on a string used to gag people so they can't speak. The shape of the dish is just like the ball from the gag and the gooey/chewy texture of the dish makes you unable to speak when eating it 😉
Next time in Poland, there will be more food to taste :) for Deana if she loved "Barszcz czerwony" she should try it with two options- one is "Krokiet" or with "Uszka" those like little pierogies, "Barszcz z uszkami" is dish served mostly during christmas in every Polish house, its traditional, some people go with mashroom soup, but both options are good :) Next time while you will be in Kraków, you should go check village called Ojców, where there are the best smoaked fishes called "Pstrąg Ojcowski". It's nice to watch you, and that you loved Poland, its so underrated country to visit, and I think becouse of the stereotypes, ofc there is chance that accidents may happen, but it can happen everywhere, Poles if not provoked or during daytime are most of the time best people you can met, they will greet you with everything they have :)
It’s so funny to see zapiekanki as a Polish cuisine staple😂 As much as we love them it is the shittiest fast food here (and Yes, drunk food, too!). But we do love our ZAPIEKSY and the ones in Kraków are superdelicious!
I’m Sicilian but Polish food is freaking amazing, German food, all food is amazing.
Nasza kuchnia jest bardzo smaczna i taka domowa. Niedoceniana niestety 😊 u nas każdy prawie gotuje w domu. My nie jadamy na mieście. Z tąd tradycja i takie pyszności.
You haven't tried other Polish regional dishes such as: fasolka po bretońsku, kartacze, ciapkapusta, babka lub kiszka ziemniaczana, łazanki, karminadle, devolay and soups such as kwaśnica, flaczki, sorrel, cucumber or mushroom soup. Zapiekanka made no sense, it's a typical fast food that is available in a similar version in every country. It's good that you tasted pierogi ruskie, gołąbki, bigos, żurek, and kulebele (although the roulade and Silesian dumplings are better separately). I love Tex Mex flavors, but there is nothing better than Polish cuisine. Greetings from silesia :)
im from Poland :) My fovourite Polish food are actually: Placek po węgiersku
Pierogi... Najlepsze❤ Jestem z Polski tu wszyscy kochają pierogi.
Pączek ,nie wiem gdzie powstał , kto go wynalazł ale wiem że kochamy w Polsce pączki oraz różne nadziewane kremami , owocami ciasta ,jest tego u nas wiele .
Pączki powstały w Wiedniu w czasach odsieczy Wiedeńskiej więc może jadł je król Jan trzeci Sobieski
