  • After the success of my first Street Food Safari in Germany, I tried to track down the Big Five Polish street foods. I was in for a major surprise. I had assumed street food would use a lot of cabbage, a vegetable I dislike with a passion, but I was pleasantly surprised. Come with me on a culinary journey across northern Poland.

    Scott, I've lived in Poland 20 years now, and there is some really good street food here. Couple of tips for you, should you return. Make a point of oszcipek - it is the most delicious cheesy snack ever - best to go down to the mountains in the south where it's a main dish - the ski resports like Zakopane and Szcyrk are full of stalls selling it. With gofry, your best bet is to go to a seaside resort in summer - any small town or village along the coast or around the Mazurian lakes will do - and go for a whipped cream and fruit one: they are superb. Nutella is a bit meh but popular with the kids. And my favourite, bought in a coastal resort called Wladyslawowo consisted of a big slab of fresh bread smothered with a thing called smalec (it's basically pork dripping infused with onions and various herbs) and topped with kielbaski (Polish sausages, thinly sliced) and fried onions....my mouth is watering at the memory as I type. BTW - terrific video, thanks for sharing.

      * Oscypek (plural oscypki) ;) Traditional Polish (produced in mountain regions) cheese made from sheep milk ;) Best to consume with cranberry jam

    • @Zosia.B
      @Zosia.B Год назад +2

      That's right, for oscypek cheese in the Polish mountains, by the Polish seaside, it's good to go for a good, fresh, fried fish and everywhere in Poland you can eat a good schabowy (pork chop), delicious żurek( sour soup a typical Polish soup nowhere known) and be sure to try Polish zrazy (beef roulades).

    Polish original donuts (pączek - pączki [plural]) is filled with wild-rose jam. That didn't actually looked like rose jam as it was too dark but it might be just because of camera color distortion. Strawberry or other stuff is just a variation.

  • @TheFifthHorseman_

    7:40: If you visit Poland again, try drinking Kefir with your pierogi or placki. It's not technically Polish in origin but extremely popular here and goes marvellously with hot or spicy foods.
    9:30: You can buy unfilled rurki in supermarkets (Biedronka has them occasionally at the very least). Just add whipped cream!
    14:19: Pączek z Dżemem - the accents make the letters different from the normal "a" and "z"; "ą" reads like a shorter "on", "ż" reads basically like the English "j"

    Great video. Been living in Poland for donkey's years. Pronunciation really good, particularly 'pierniki'. Indeed the best ones are from Torun, the home of the great astronomer, Nicholas Kopernikus, hence the brand on your packet 'Kopernik'. Thanks again. Poland has the magic of beautiful places, relatively cheap food and value for money all round.

  • @davidtaylor954

    The pączek simply translated donut is the traditional purchase on Fat Tuesday. (religious )/ The pronunciation due to the little squiggle under the letter A is like pon check. The jam in the middle is traditionally wild rose petal jam.

    12:21 - I actually heard of that "Paprykarz" was a some sort of way to sell food that was from overproduction. A factory that used to produce canned fish had a surpluss of meat they couldn't sell. So they've decided to mix it with rice and bell pepper powder and sell it this way in cans. And surprisingly people loved that!

    The last meal didn't actually had pierogi but pyzy instead - the difference is in the dough, as it involves grating raw potatoes, mixing them with cooked potatoes and adding potato flour (starch) to it. Also for your pronunciation of zapiekanka - it starts with a Z as in Zorro instead of a P, and then it would be perfect ;). Traditional (most popular one) is made with mushrooms and onions. If you organized pierogi the same way on your plate as in the display you showed then strong fish would actually be meat (probably pork) and the mild fish was called peasant dumplings and I had to consult the web on that even though I am polish - the filling is made with potato, sausage and white cheese. The breakfast seemed usual for a polish one, we don't have anything besides eggs (boiled, scrambled), sandwiches (with cheese, ham, tomato or jam), boiled hot-dogs and cereal. And there is a controversy with potato pancakes - some people eat them with meaty goulash (not sure why they're called gypsy style potato pancakes), other group prefers them with sour cream and / or some sugar on top. Oscypek is actually a regional product (registered and protected by UE) from the south of Poland so it would be more common in Zakopane. And a little comment on your previous video: I believe bus 666 to Hel only works in the summer holiday season, cannot find the verified info on the PKS Gdynia website, but it is marked on the bus connection diagram).

    The Faworek is not real, this simply donut called the other name. The real Faworki - also called Chrusty or Chruściki, Kreple[1], German Raderkuchen - are a traditional East and West Prussian, as well as Polish, lard baked goods that are made during the carnival season. The pastry is in the form of looped dough loops that are sprinkled with powdered sugar after baking. It bears a strong resemblance to the Rhenish Mutzen.

    Hahahaha! When I listed to his "criticism" against the typical Polish food, calling it "very German" (???) I've immediately noticed that he could not be even a "Continental".
    In fact, I guess he is English.
    The English love to tell the Continentals what is "right" or "wrong". Even though, they could do that accurately only to their own islands.
    The food was perfect, he could not even hide that the meals were delicious, a lot of areas of present-day Poland were "acquired" and taken violently from Germans to the Poles (we know the violent post-war "remodelling" of the European map).
    Both the foods, German and Poles foods are amazing.
    But, I am sure the food was really Polish and typical.
    Nevertheless, the English do not lose a single chance to "nail" the poor Germans, all the times. Their evil "favourite sport"...
    Envy is a real disgrace to the World.
    But, the videos about the beautiful Ireland and the UK were really fine.
