@@maxinerohde3220 here's a whole history of the Polish Milk Bars. I hope the link works ❤️ They are usually a bit bigger with a bigger selection than this one. I love the Milk Bars! It's very home style Polish food! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_mleczny
Okay. I for one have never heard of it. I thought maybe it might be worth mentioning and make for interesting discussion, but that’s fine. I will look it up on my own.
@maxinerohde3220 Oh, what a great idea! I just didn't want to get any details wrong 😀 and for me it was an interesting read that Wikipedia article. I know they started in the communistic era as a place to eat with affordable prices and that most of the dishes were milk based, hence the name. And because of the popularity of the very first Milk Bar, they started popping up all over Poland.
@@MJEscapades-g4l The common belief that milk bars were launched in the communist period (after WW2) is wrong. The first one appeared in Warsaw in 1896 (long before communism). Initially it didn't serve meat, only milk-, egg- and flour-based meals, hence the name. The concept of milk bars spread throughout Poland in the inter-war period (1918-1939), mainly feeding the working class then. These bars have developed their menus after the war, but still one shouldn't expect highly sophisticated or international cuisine at a typical milk bar, their idea is to offer simple Polish dishes at affordable prices. Btw, I don't think lamb was served there (it's not popular in this country).
They used to be geared toward dairy and vegetarian products; and the first milk bar (in the late 19th century) was established at a dairy. Today, they are inexpensive (often subsidized) food outlets with traditional dishes.
Uwielbiam pierogi ❤
@@Robertino12 me too, but at least those ones were not Georgios' favorites 😄
The food looks so good now I want some!
Polish food looks pretty good
Ruskie pierogi filling is simple : moshed potatos , mixed with cottage cheese and fried chopped onion .
Why is it called a milk bar? Is there some historical or cultural significance to this type of eatery? This was fun! 😊

Ruskie means from Russia. White cheese, potatoes, onion - crazy mix. Pierogi z twarogiem or z miesem are better
Ruskie oznacza z Rusi (ang. Ruthenia). Nie myl Rusi z Rosją.
Not from russia! From Ruthenia old Polish district!
filling in ruskie pierogi: potatoes onion and cheese
@@ireneuszwojtysiak-g1o Ahhh, thank you! I knew that at least cheese is one of them but yes, potatoes and onion makes perfect sense ❤️
