Since we love Polish food so much we just had to make two dedicated food videos, so that we could try as many dishes as possible! We probably still only scratched the surface, but that just means we'll have to come back in the future! 😊 Let us know in the comments what your favourite Polish dish is! Which city should be visit in order to get some really unique things that maybe don't exist everywhere? If you haven't watched our other videos in Poland, make sure to check them out. And don't forget to subscribe, because there are more videos from Poland coming! Thanks for watching! 😀 - Brandon & Anja
@@wherearewe-ytmy fav filling is sauerkraut and meat. You guys were wondering whats the outer layer of croquette it is actually crepe thats bredded and fried after rolling them. Yeah borscht is nice combo with few other things as well.
We'd like to try that as well! Or a restaurant or home cooked version with mushroom inside. The grocery store version was good, but I can imagine it being so much better.
Judging by the comment and assuming you are of polish heritage, please do not insult Polish and our traditions as the word "borscht" is not a polish word but rather either ukrainian or russian or some other.... "Barszcz" is the proper spelling. If you want to call it foreign name then spell it "beet soup" just as your comment being in english.
@bellam2548 mieszkam w Polsce. Wspomagałem się tłumaczem, bo słabo piszę w języku angielskim. Przekaz mial być międzynarodowy. Tyle. A " BARSZCZ" uwielbiam w każdej postaci. Pozdrawiam z Rawy Mazowieckiej🙂
Przetłumaczcie to na język angielski, mili młodzi ludzie: Kuchnia polska jest mistrzowska, bo jest wspaniale dopasowana do klimatu i do dostępności produktów rolnych na polskiej ziemi. Jest bogata i zróżnicowana - każdy może zaspokoić głód i pragnienie! Cieszę się, że Wam smakuje, dlatego "Smacznego!" i "Na zdrowie!".
We will have to make sure to come back to Poland in some other seasons, to experience even more of the seasonal food! We'd love to come back for Christmas some year. Thanks for watching!
It's nice that you like our cuisine. Thanks a lot for the nice video about Polish cuisine and the kind words 🙂 We invite you to visit Poland more often. Greetings from Gdansk
Loved you video! It's so nice to see you try diferent food than most tourists. If you're ever in Poznań try pyzy again - it's completly diferent dish than in Warsaw, more like a steamed bun.
krokiety are minced meat like in pierogi rolled in polish naleśniki (crepes) dipped in eggs and breadcrumbs and fried. You eat it with either borscht or broth.
Oranżada once called ORANSZADA - this word comes from the Latin hordeata = "made of barley"; French orge is barley). Spanish horchata (orxata) has a similar etymology. Orszada, orgeade syrup (from French orgeade from orge, barley) - a sweet cooling drink originally made from a mixture of barley and almonds, sugar and rose water, orange or milk. Today's Polish orenzada is a carbonated drink, and the basic ingredients are primarily water and syrup in various flavors. The most popular among Poles is orenzada with the flavor of candys-landrynki .LANDRYNKI are Polish hard candies with a specific flavor of various fruits (my favorite flavors of candy since childhood are: pink = raspberry, red - strawberry, green - apple and white - milky almond). Potato dumplings are made from raw grated potatoes. I rarely make them because they are very laborious. I don't know if anything similar to POLISH PYZA is made anywhere else in the world. I have lived in Austria for over 30 years and I know that there is nothing similar to Polish PYZA in Austrian cuisine. At least I haven't seen it in any restaurant or Austrian Gasthaus. If they are made, they are Kartoffelknödel from previously COOKED potatoes. I think it is similar in Germany because Austrian cuisine is very poor, and mostly similar to German and partly to Hungarian cuisine.
Ooooh, interesting! We try both the red and white versions in our snack video. I don't think we've ever had that candy, so we didn't really know what to compare them to. Though they did taste like candy! I love German, Austrian, and Polish cuisine because it's all VERY different to what I grew up with.
i very happy that you were in warsaw poland and i hope that this food was amazing for you in real - your channel can me learning english as well - you talk a little fast but it is challenge for me - understand and develop my skill ! i i wish good luck for you - watching you is very relaxing for body and soul :)
Thanks so much for watching! That's great to hear. 😁 We try to include subtitles of all types to make things easier. Not sure how accurate they always are though. 😅
Borscht and croquettes/or dumpling with meat, and cooked pottatos in a bowl. That's taste amazing, You must try it. The cheapest version is buy croqquettes and borscht like winiary and made it at home.
We would love to try some borscht with dumplings! Even the simple broth version we had was amazing. We noticed after we left, we could buy a "pre-made" version at the grocery store. Wish we could have tried it!
Bigos is sour craut but with two types of meat and kielbasa, mushrooms,, plum, tomato concetrate or tomato juice, and spices. Then you boild it for many hour's, and mix it with wooden spoon. Becouse of boiling it's not so sour at the end, but you need very sour cabagge at the beggining. 🙂
Krokiety are ment to be eaten with either beetroot soup or juice. It is usually dipped in soup, but in this video you got the juice so the default way is to drink it between bites Edit: Oh, and the wrapper is basically a tortilla/crepe
On the fall or on the winter sometimes we do warm beer, you need pot, beer, good honey, sometimes orenge or lemon and few pons, then you warming beer in the pot on small fire, mixing withe the spoon slowly, then you may put everything in the pot, but you cannot boil beer. And that's it, spoon or two of honey, slice of some citrus. You may do that with red semi-dry wine. 🙂
Hello dears, we make traditional croquettes with sauerkraut and mushrooms, they are also available in a meat version, you can make them in different ways with red borscht, it is traditional for Christmas
Cider brand name is Miłosław they produce really nice beers too pół wytrawny means semi dry or halbtrocken wytrawny- dry or trocken pól słodki- semi sweet or lieblich słodki - sweet or suB
We actually had Miłosław beers in our Krakow food video. Anja clearly didn't make the connection at the time..hahaha. Thanks for the information! Any recommendations for other Polish ciders? We would like to try more the next time we're there.
Krokiety z mięsem and barszcz are almost always served at a weddings as a late, last hot dish. Served around midnight. Not popular tourist dish, but we love it. We have many like that, but its not well advertised unfortunately 😅
Yeah, I asked in a Polish reddit group, asking which dishes to try. In particular, Polish favorites that a lot of tourists don't often try. Krokiety z mięsem and barszcz was the first recommendation, and I'm so glad we got to try it. We loved it!
Cheesecake, yes! This is very typical in Poland, maybe poppy seed cake also, I guess. But you won with the idea of Barbie soup as the name for chłodnik, I like it 😄👍 As Anja mentioned, this one is perfect for a hot day. Great, that you had a god time! 😊
Polish cheesecake is so good! When looking at photos before trying it, I thought it would be just like German cheesecake, but it's really not at all. It really felt like an in-between German and NY style. Less rich than what than a NYC, but more dense and creamy than German. Perfect. 😋 That soup was really good. Super refreshing, and such a nice, bright color. Barbie soup, for sure. Fun fact: Anja actually has a Barbie tattoo! 😆
@@wherearewe-yt, Barbie tattoo is something unique! 💕Cheesecakes may vary: NY, German, Polish style, but are generally something that most people like, no wonder I guess ;). By the way, we've tried Slovenian cheesecake in Maribor, it was not so sweet, very tasty, we also liked the cake you tried, Bled cream cake, with pudding layer and cream - soo good!
Krokiety are basically savory crepes that after being rolled they are put in egg & bread crumbs and then pan fried. We don't really dunk them in barszcz. And yes usually red barszcz is served with krokiety or paszteciki.
We actually had more people tell us they do dip, rather than not! I thought Anja was crazy for doing it, but a lot of our Polish viewers seem to dip as well. 😅
I figured it could be hospital, too, because there is a similar word for hospital in German, but the street was named the same thing, so I was not sure. Thanks for clarifying! 🙂
Sernik (cheesecake) is made from farmer cheese. Krokiety(you had them with barszcz) are crapes 😊 you just put whatever stuffing you like in it,roll it,then wisked egg, bread crumbs. Butter on the pan and yummy! Polish girl from Florida 😊
@@wherearewe-yt yes! You can make them with farmer cheese,sugar and vanilla extract but then you are skipping the wisked egg and bread crumbs. Only crapes with stuffing then you make like a triangle shape,just a butter on the pan one minute each side and serve them with sour cream and sugar. Enjoy 🙂 it's easy to make polish crapes
Oh you ate one of my puddled dishes and filling and I eat them when I am on travel -troops with red borscht for sipping. This is a pancake cake. Well, it does not dream in borscht, borscht is to be sipped. Aaaa "Flaczka" is a story. The tripe is cooking first and the water spills and cooks again, adding a lot of spices. Other species of meat, spices are added to them and it is cooked until everything is soft. Flames should have a lot of marjoram and it should be pepper and thick. Poles definitely prefer homemade from the restaurants. Poultry livers with fried onion is another favorite dish. You can eat it once a month due to cholesterol. Fryed directly or coated in flour and at the end of frying, the fried onion is added and frying together in a pan and finally sprinkled with salt, because the salt sprinkled with salt before frying hardens. There is nothing to do with the traditional fried beef liver. I saw that you were drinking honey beer, but Poland was already famous in the Middle Ages for the alcoholic beverage "Pitone honeys", which is made after today. The price depends on the years of aging - it reminds me of the taste of Hungarian Tokay only sweeter.
Maybe one day we will be lucky enough to have a home cooked Polish meal! The restaurants we tried were all great, but it would be a great experience to have a Polish mother or grandmother cook for us! Someone else suggested we try some Polish mead. We need to try that next time, too.
I'd be happy to recommend more not so popular tourist soups with I like very much. Zupa ogórkowa (cucumber soup, my fovourite), żur śląski (żurek is not the same!, access only in silesia region), zupa kapuśniak (sour cabbage soup), zupa szczawiowa (sorrel soup), zupa krupnik (barley soup), jarzynowa (vegetable soup), grochówka (split pea soup, known as military soup) and last one is not a soup but something sweet, racuchy (apple pancake).
Thanks for all of the great suggestions! We love trying out things that are less touristy. We'll have to try some of these next time we're in Poland. There are so many soups..maybe we just need to make a "Trying Polish Soups" video in the future! Haha.
Hi, I just love Your films here, You two are so natural and real. One thing tho... Those cucumbers You call Pickles are not pickled every time, some of them are named "kiszone" which means "fermented cucumbers" and they taste different in every Polish household. Na zdrowie!
Next time you're in Warsaw, you have to try Rurki z Wiatraka! The best ever rurki z kremem! You will find that estabilishment on Rondo Wiatraczna If you try them, you will be thanking me for the tip 🙂
We would take any reason to try them again! We actually bought a second one right after we filmed that scene. SO GOOD. Thanks for the recommendation! We will save it in our Google Maps for next time.
You two are good sports when it comes to food but I suspect it is also your business decition to be so kind and gracious about food you eat when travelling.
We are actually always honest with our food reviewing, but we also try to do a lot of research and find restaurants that are well reviewed, or we find local recommended spots. So we don't often try things that are bad. We are also not picky at all. There are very few flavors we don't like. For me, licorice is one of few things I still haven't grown a taste for! Hahaha. If we don't like something, I think the main difference between us and some other RUclipsrs is that we try to refrain from using degrading words like "disgusting" or "terrrible" when trying a countries local food. We find that quite rude. We just say that "it's not for us" or "not a fan". We often try and seek out a countries more "more unusual dishes". Some good examples would be when we tried sheep's face in Morocco, jellied eels in England, or rooster testicles in Hungary. These types of dishes often end in mixed reactions. 😅 Most recently, in our Krakow video, Anja didn't like the "galaretka z nόżek" too much. I quite enjoyed it, though! To be fair.. Polish food is pretty amazing. And we didn't try anything bad. If you have any unusual Polish food recommendations, we'd love it hear them!
13:00 - Kiszka ziemniaczana (You pronounced it quite correctly) - A specialty from northeastern Poland. And also "babka ziemniaczana" - similar, but it looks different .. Great. 21:00 - the soup actually has its roots in Lithuania.
That babka ziemniaczana looks quite interesting! We'd have liked to try that. We will have to explore some of the north east in the future. I thought so, but I wasn't 100% sure if it was the same soup or not. I remembered seeing a Lithuanian RUclipsr making it before, but I wasn't sure if the Polish version was different in some way. Really tasty!
More Polish food - yah! Sour cream here is not what it was years ago. It used to have real flavor. The beer caps covering the walls is really cool. Some Polish dishes I've not seen before. Potato sausage looked interesting. Thanks for showing the price for the wine in US dollars. That was quite the bargain. Hi from rainy Oregon.
We had never heard of the potato sausage either before this video, but we're happy we got to try it! We do enjoy blood sausage as well, but we've had blood sausage all over the world. This was a lot more unique! Although this is it for the Polish food tours, we still have three more videos, which still feature lots of food! Thanks for watching, as always. 😃
We've bought honey wine from a local farmers market while in Poland, but I don't know that we've ever had mead there. We're big fans! We'll have to make it a point to track some down the next time we're in Poland. It didn't make it into the video, but I bought and tried multiple Polish honey beers and drank them at home, including Perła Miodowa and Łomża. So good!
Wuzetka (pronounced voo-zetka [vuzɛtka]) is a chocolate sponge and cream pie which originated in Warsaw, Poland. Its name is probably derived from the Warsaw W-Z Route, on which the confectionery that first began to sell the dessert in late 1940s was located. Traditional to Varsovian cuisine, the dessert was exclusively served by cafés and restaurants in Warsaw, but soon became a beloved home-made food in Poland. The dessert most likely originated at the turn of the 1940s and 1950s in one of Warsaw's newly founded sweet shops. However, the precise origin of the name is debatable; historians and certain sources agree that the cake was probably named after the Warsaw W-Z Route (East-West Route), which ran next to the shop. Other sources state that the name comes from the acronym "WZC", which either stood for the Warsaw Confectionery Plants (Warszawskie Zakłady Cukiernicze) or for the Polish term "pastry with chocolate" (wypiek z czekoladą). The abbreviation "WZK" for "pastry with cream" (wypiek z kremem) is also a possibility. The confectionery store was most likely situated somewhere near or in the "Kino Muranów" cinema building on 5 Andersa Street, in the Muranów district of Warsaw.[ The two square chocolate layers of the cake are made of wheat flour, eggs, sugar and cocoa. The mixture is baked in the oven at 180 °C for 20-30 minutes. The baked layers are then dipped and soaked in punch. The top layer is thinly covered in marmalade, powidl or jam, followed by thick chocolate pomade coating. The cream filling is made of a 36% whipping cream, powdered sugar and gelatin.The pie is traditionally topped with a whipped cream twirl.
"Mirosławski" is brand of that cider. Pół wytrawne means semi-dry which is funny that its sweet for you. I personaly prefer Lubelski which is actualy sweet.
We actually have some beers from that brand in our Krakow video, but Anja didn't realize at the time! Haha. We'd love to try some more Polish ciders the next time we visit. We will have to remember that brand for next time.
If you liked rurki you will also like "Cieple Lody" literally translates to "Warm Ice Cream" I used to eat them all the time back when I was still living in Poland.
Ooooh, that looks delicious! Maybe you can explain, but we were curious about the name of this rurki dish. There seemed to be some photos where this dish came in more of a "cone," and then some photos were the tube version we had. The woman who talked to is called it rurki kremem (or something close to that), but the label said "Rurki z bitą śmietaną". It rurki more of a "general term" for this type of snack??
@@wherearewe-yt It is more of a general term yes "Rurka" is just a small pipe in Polish so it's basically "a small pipe with cream". "Bita smietana" translates to "whipped cream" in Polish. Cone shaped ones are just another version of it. You can also get them with Chocolate and Lemon cream filling.

That sounds like a great Christmas Eve dish! It was our first time trying krokiety, and now it's a new favorite. Especially with that side of soup. So good!
@@wherearewe-yt That's what we eat mostly during christmas. Cold night and hot clear Barszcz is the perfect combination. You should try "Barszcz z uszkami" (little dumplings putted into soup) but don't think if any restaurant serve this beside christmas time.
@@wherearewe-yt If you like Pierogi with cabbage and mushrooms, you will love "Barszcz z Uszkami", that's the most christmas time dinner ever in Poland. Geez.. I need to do now even a simple hot cup of barszcz. Damn you!
You must to try fried polish bloddy sosuage with anion and leafs of polish real bred. And of course with polish vodka and black hot tea or polish beer ;) Yu will be in heaven when you will try it :)
We would love to try it! We were disappointed that the restaurant we visited didn't have it. The potato sausage was still good, though. Next time, we will definitely track it down and try it!
You can do this deash in home Just In 5 minutes! :) m.ruclips.net/video/ajThjIQDL7Q/видео.html&pp=ygUSS2FzemFua2EgeiBjZWJ1bGth This deash is the best when you smashed it and mix it with anion when you firied it! Just like in this film! ;) Its a cheap i guick deash and of course very delicious :)
Will there be an episode in which you will try Polish sweets from the store? I travel around Europe a bit and always try foreign sweets. I think that Polish sweets are of a really good standard
It was labeled as Barszcz Czerwony (Borscht) but it's unlike any borscht we've had before, as it was just a broth! It looked so simple, but it was suuuuper flavorful. This recipe looks identical to what we were drinking. Maybe you can make it at home! eatingeuropean.com/borscht-recipe/
Oranżada has its origins in 18th century and came to Poland from France. It was prepared with real orange juice but during industrial era it was replaced with powdered juice. In Poland during communist rule due to shortages of imported fruits its flavor was replaced with mix of local fruit and vegetable extracts, so modern oranżada has nothing to do with original one nor with oranges. Hopefully we will change that, as in last few years there is a movement of rediscovering old polish cuisine that was obscured and changed by occupants and communists.
Ahhh, very interesting! So what about the orange colored bottles now? Are those not flavored with real orange either? We try both the clear and red versions in our snack video, and we couldn't quite identify the flavors, though they were quite tasty!
@@wherearewe-yt Probably artificial ones, but maybe there are some smaller companies that make it legitly. I could not find ingridient list for that one in glass bottle, but that bigger one (Hellena) is 20% apple juice, no oranges, rest is water, sugar or high fructose syrup and artificial color (in case of non transparent variants). Honestly I'm not sure if I ever drunk original oranżada, it always was that artificially tasting one. I've also checked few other brands and some of them don't contain any natural juice, just artificlai flavoring. It may be a taste of my childhood, but it is not healthier than regular soda.
We learned after we left Poland that you can buy this beet brother pre-made at the grocery store. We would have brought some with us! It was so delicious. It seems like the perfect thing to drink in the winter on a cold day. I may have to try and make it at home.
Thank you :) Enjoy the food The Wuzetka's name is a short for express way in Warsaw built in the 60's called Trasa W-Z, meaning The East-West Express Way. In Warsaw, in communism, you couldn't just order a coffee on its own, you would be forced to have a coffee and Wuzetka, it always came as a set.
Wow, that's super interesting! But what if the person was diabetic?! Hahaha.. We would happily eat that cake with a coffee every day! It was really tasty.
We tried żurek in our Krakow video, but many people told us the soup looked more thin than usual, so we need to try it again. We will have to make some Polish friends, and have a Polish grandmother make us some at home! Haha.
Sponsored by whom? Poland? Hahaha. We wish! We would happily make a sponsored video by the tourism board if they asked. But our channel is much too small for that at the moment. If a video is sponsored, we are required to say so by RUclips.
Niektóre dania na litwie, Białorusi i Ukrainie mogą być podobne do Polskich ponieważ te państwa były częścią dawnej Rzeczypospolitej obojga Narodów czyli państwa Polsko Litewskiego które istniało od 16 do 18 wieku 😅
Dont take it as criticism because you are trying really good traditional dishes that people recommend for very good reason but from hundreds of videos i watched on YT of people trying Polish food i never once seen anyone try typical grochowka wojskowa. Next time please look for a place outside of city that has military style trailer kitchen and does grochowka. Its absolutely phenomenal and you will be first on YT to try it
Where were you when I made my reddit post! Hahaha. I was actually trying to ask locals what they would like to see in a video-- but more specifically, favorite dishes that are shown less often. That would have been great to try! We love to show dishes that most others don't. We will have to try that in a future video when we return. I actually straight up just want to make a Polish soup video because there are so many good ones. 🍲
Polish need tripe soup is eaten with a roll + a glass of vodka!!!! tripe soup should be spicy with black pepper, hot red pepper, sometimes ginger and marjoram are added.
the New York Cheesecake is in reality a slightly degenerated German Cheesecake (learn history). The German one (there are actually different ones but some are more popular) is better, because it is more 'on point' from the consistency, cream and so on. The New York one (which differs from other regions in the US btw.) lost a bit of the important 'grip' (typical for many American food). Now, while many other food also lost some taste and consistency (Bread which is horrible sweetened and the consistency is also questionable. And even Hotdog 'bread' is horrible soggy) at least the New York Cheesecake is - even already slightly downgread - still very tasty and good. It just lost a bit of the more refined taste/consistency. But still, I would advice to try it to everyone. I would NOT do that with most bread etc.! The rest is a habit, if one is used to more sweet stuff like many Americans then it might taste better (but thats remains questionable). The Polish one has actually a totally different consistency, as you can already optical see. You have similar ones also in Germany as well but I would not count that as classic Cheesecake - but of course, there are also people who like that and its still ok). Keep in mind that Germany was the base of the Holy Roman Empire, most of the time after the decline of the classic Roman Empire and the Germanic Frankish Empire (France got its name from that but was just the Western part, East and most of the Center became Germany/Holy Roman Empire) which was most of the time the dominant power in Europe (also the most populated) which also is geographically placed in all directions (Northern Italy, Rome/Papal states, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, Czech/Bohemia, Austria, Switzerland etc. were all part of that). This means: you have the highest food diversity in Germany (in modern times also due to the fact that Germany as biggest economy in the center is also the main destination as hub) and most stuff you get in neighboring countries or even farer away was already part of the German kitchen (just overshadowed by some more stereotyped food). Same is btw. also true for many other aspects like Fabeltiere/Monsters of the medieval time and earlier. Some Slavic countries believe that there are some monsters unknown to the 'west' but they dont know that most of the stuff was/is also known in Germany for the same reason.(interface region with till today most traffic (also the biggest internet hub of Europe). Btw., at the moment Berlin is since kind of 5-10 years the best food spot on earth. Not just because you get everything a modern global city nowadays has to offer (actually much more diversity than in NY, London or Paris (which mostly still has just classic French food with some exceptions. Btw, NY has also more diversity than London/Paris but is inferior (and way more expensive. Not just because it has almost no good bread if you dont really go to special places) to Berlin) but also much more in higher quality (and relatively cheaper. For a couple of reasons (some have to do with what i said above) Germany is on one hand a high income country but has on the other hand quite low prices (which is why from cars to electronics, groceries etc. most neighbor countries buy in Germany if at the border or the product is a more expensive one) ....
It's all a matter of personal preference. I grew up with more the "American" styles, so it's typically what I prefer. Anja, of course, prefers German. I liked the Polish version because it feels like a nice "in between". It felt a bit more heavy and dense than a German cheesecake, but a lot less rich than a NY style. Berlin is a great food city. Anja is from there, so we lived there together for two years. And you're right about the groceries! Even now, they're very cheap in comparison to some neighboring countries. We no longer have a "home", but if it were up to me, I would definitely move back there some day.
Unfortunately, we usually spend much more money on our videos than we earn. Hopefully, one day that'll change? You wanna sponsor us? 🤣 And no, we actually liked 100 % 😊.
@@wherearewe-yt You can try not only pure bimber. Very popular is plum taste. It's name "śliwowica", but check before where you can find good one, because often has terrible flavour and taste.
Really??? Hahaha. I thought Anja would get destroyed in the comments for doing this. Too funny. Good to know! Thanks for watching. We loved everything. Polish food is amazing.
You made another great movie. A few things need to be clarified. Each region of Poland has its own local cuisine and products. Dumplings and tripe in this restaurant are served in jars due to the Warsaw tradition. At traditional markets, ladies sold these dishes in jars, advertising themselves with the slogan ' Flaki i pyzy gorące - Hot tripe and dumplings'. This is how you ate the poor version of Lithuanian cold soup. My grandmother served cold soup with slices of boiled veal or crayfish necks. There are many of the same dishes in Polish and Lithuanian cuisine: Lithuanian cold soup, Lithuanian dumplings, kartacze, etc. It is similar with Belarusian, Ukrainian, Slovak dishes and German influences in Polish cuisine. These are all echoes of history.
That's super interesting! You're actually the first to tell us that. The name of the restaurant even had an exclamation mark at the end, as you're meant to shout the name. Now it all makes sense. Oooooh, boiled veal or crayfish would have made it even better. I knew it had Lithuanian roots only because a RUclipsr we watch made it before in a video. Though, I wasn't sure if the Polish version was different in some way. Thanks for the information, and thanks again for watching!
Yeah, and what "crap" is that exactly? The only people who make these types of comments are the ones who have never actually traveled or been anywhere. There's plenty of great food in both of our countries, thanks. 😘
Since we love Polish food so much we just had to make two dedicated food videos, so that we could try as many dishes as possible! We probably still only scratched the surface, but that just means we'll have to come back in the future! 😊 Let us know in the comments what your favourite Polish dish is! Which city should be visit in order to get some really unique things that maybe don't exist everywhere? If you haven't watched our other videos in Poland, make sure to check them out. And don't forget to subscribe, because there are more videos from Poland coming! Thanks for watching! 😀 - Brandon & Anja
Bigos smakuje wam słodko-kwaśno ponieważ jest robiony na kapuście kiszonej i takiej białej świeżej
Croquettes and borscht. That's what my mom served for Sunday dinner today. 😊
We're jealous! I'm sure it's even better home cooked.
@@wherearewe-ytmy fav filling is sauerkraut and meat. You guys were wondering whats the outer layer of croquette it is actually crepe thats bredded and fried after rolling them. Yeah borscht is nice combo with few other things as well.
We'd like to try that as well! Or a restaurant or home cooked version with mushroom inside. The grocery store version was good, but I can imagine it being so much better.
Judging by the comment and assuming you are of polish heritage, please do not insult Polish and our traditions as the word "borscht" is not a polish word but rather either ukrainian or russian or some other.... "Barszcz" is the proper spelling. If you want to call it foreign name then spell it "beet soup" just as your comment being in english.

It's nice that you like our cuisine. Thanks a lot for the nice video about Polish cuisine and the kind words 🙂
We invite you to visit Poland more often. Greetings from Gdansk
Thanks so much! We love Poland, so we will definitely be back to film and see more at some point. 😄
Loved you video! It's so nice to see you try diferent food than most tourists. If you're ever in Poznań try pyzy again - it's completly diferent dish than in Warsaw, more like a steamed bun.
krokiety are minced meat like in pierogi rolled in polish naleśniki (crepes) dipped in eggs and breadcrumbs and fried. You eat it with either borscht or broth.
Uwielbiam krokiety z barszczem. Moj faworyt. Jeden z wielu. Siedze tu w nocy i tesknie za Polska.
Polish food is soooo yum! A great overview of some great Polish food.
It really is! Easily some of our favorite in Europe. So many great dishes to try.
Polish food is the tastier of all cuisine in the world
It's one of our favorites, for sure!
Oranżada once called ORANSZADA - this word comes from the Latin hordeata = "made of barley"; French orge is barley). Spanish horchata (orxata) has a similar etymology. Orszada, orgeade syrup (from French orgeade from orge, barley) - a sweet cooling drink originally made from a mixture of barley and almonds, sugar and rose water, orange or milk. Today's Polish orenzada is a carbonated drink, and the basic ingredients are primarily water and syrup in various flavors. The most popular among Poles is orenzada with the flavor of candys-landrynki .LANDRYNKI are Polish hard candies with a specific flavor of various fruits (my favorite flavors of candy since childhood are: pink = raspberry, red - strawberry, green - apple and white - milky almond). Potato dumplings are made from raw grated potatoes. I rarely make them because they are very laborious. I don't know if anything similar to POLISH PYZA is made anywhere else in the world. I have lived in Austria for over 30 years and I know that there is nothing similar to Polish PYZA in Austrian cuisine. At least I haven't seen it in any restaurant or Austrian Gasthaus. If they are made, they are Kartoffelknödel from previously COOKED potatoes. I think it is similar in Germany because Austrian cuisine is very poor, and mostly similar to German and partly to Hungarian cuisine.
Ooooh, interesting! We try both the red and white versions in our snack video. I don't think we've ever had that candy, so we didn't really know what to compare them to. Though they did taste like candy!
I love German, Austrian, and Polish cuisine because it's all VERY different to what I grew up with.
I'm glad you liked the city, i live here for 16 years and I think I always will.
It's a great city! We could easily see ourselves living there.
Dzień dobry, bardzo dobry przepis, Pozdrwaiam
This Video makes me miss Poland so much 🥰
It's one of our favorite places to visit in Europe, for sure! We always love going back. ❤️
Everything looks delicious!
It was all so good!
i very happy that you were in warsaw poland and i hope that this food was amazing for you in real - your channel can me learning english as well - you talk a little fast but it is challenge for me - understand and develop my skill ! i i wish good luck for you - watching you is very relaxing for body and soul :)
Thanks so much for watching! That's great to hear. 😁
We try to include subtitles of all types to make things easier. Not sure how accurate they always are though. 😅
Borscht and croquettes/or dumpling with meat, and cooked pottatos in a bowl. That's taste amazing, You must try it. The cheapest version is buy croqquettes and borscht like winiary and made it at home.
We would love to try some borscht with dumplings! Even the simple broth version we had was amazing. We noticed after we left, we could buy a "pre-made" version at the grocery store. Wish we could have tried it!
i love flaki, my top 3 polish dish
It's so good! We were quite surprised, as tripe dishes can be pretty hit or miss.
Bigos is sour craut but with two types of meat and kielbasa, mushrooms,, plum, tomato concetrate or tomato juice, and spices. Then you boild it for many hour's, and mix it with wooden spoon. Becouse of boiling it's not so sour at the end, but you need very sour cabagge at the beggining. 🙂
Dipping krokiety is good! You did the right thing! :)
The Polish viewers seem pretty spilt on this! Hahaha.
Another great video!! Going to Warsaw in 2026, so keep the videos coming!
Enjoy! It's an awesome city. 👌
Enjoy 😀😎🇵🇱
We certainly did! Polish food is some of our favorite.
Krokiety are ment to be eaten with either beetroot soup or juice. It is usually dipped in soup, but in this video you got the juice so the default way is to drink it between bites
Edit: Oh, and the wrapper is basically a tortilla/crepe
On the fall or on the winter sometimes we do warm beer, you need pot, beer, good honey, sometimes orenge or lemon and few pons, then you warming beer in the pot on small fire, mixing withe the spoon slowly, then you may put everything in the pot, but you cannot boil beer. And that's it, spoon or two of honey, slice of some citrus. You may do that with red semi-dry wine. 🙂
That sounds amazing!
Hello dears, we make traditional croquettes with sauerkraut and mushrooms, they are also available in a meat version, you can make them in different ways with red borscht, it is traditional for Christmas
As for the croquettes, they are made with pancake batter, baked and then wrapped in a delicious filling, a lot depends on the preparation
We wrap it, we make the breading, we coat it and fry it in a pan, we serve it with red borscht, enjoy your meal
It's one of our favorite Polish dishes. We would love to experience Polish Christmas someday! Especially if it includes croquettes. 🙂
I see you guys for the first time. This movie is really great. Either you are super actors or you really enjoyed it. Warm greetings from Poland
We love Polish food, so no acting! The only thing Anja didn't really like in this series was "galaretka z nόżek". I thought it was pretty good!
Cider brand name is Miłosław
they produce really nice beers too
pół wytrawny means semi dry or halbtrocken
wytrawny- dry or trocken
pól słodki- semi sweet or lieblich
słodki - sweet or suB
We actually had Miłosław beers in our Krakow food video. Anja clearly didn't make the connection at the time..hahaha.
Thanks for the information! Any recommendations for other Polish ciders? We would like to try more the next time we're there.
Dzięki za promowanie mojego kraju.Wszystkiego dobrego i subik leci.pozdrawiam z Gniezna
Thank you so much! We love Poland. Each time we visit, we like it even more.
Krokiety z mięsem and barszcz are almost always served at a weddings as a late, last hot dish. Served around midnight. Not popular tourist dish, but we love it. We have many like that, but its not well advertised unfortunately 😅
Yeah, I asked in a Polish reddit group, asking which dishes to try. In particular, Polish favorites that a lot of tourists don't often try. Krokiety z mięsem and barszcz was the first recommendation, and I'm so glad we got to try it. We loved it!
When they serve you at the party, it is time to go home.
I wish someone would serve us krokiety every time they wanted us to leave a party..haha.
Cheesecake, yes! This is very typical in Poland, maybe poppy seed cake also, I guess. But you won with the idea of Barbie soup as the name for chłodnik, I like it 😄👍 As Anja mentioned, this one is perfect for a hot day. Great, that you had a god time! 😊
Polish cheesecake is so good! When looking at photos before trying it, I thought it would be just like German cheesecake, but it's really not at all. It really felt like an in-between German and NY style. Less rich than what than a NYC, but more dense and creamy than German. Perfect. 😋
That soup was really good. Super refreshing, and such a nice, bright color. Barbie soup, for sure. Fun fact: Anja actually has a Barbie tattoo! 😆
@@wherearewe-yt, Barbie tattoo is something unique! 💕Cheesecakes may vary: NY, German, Polish style, but are generally something that most people like, no wonder I guess ;). By the way, we've tried Slovenian cheesecake in Maribor, it was not so sweet, very tasty, we also liked the cake you tried, Bled cream cake, with pudding layer and cream - soo good!
That sounds really good! We will have to try it if we ever return to Slovenia.
Krokiety are basically savory crepes that after being rolled they are put in egg & bread crumbs and then pan fried. We don't really dunk them in barszcz. And yes usually red barszcz is served with krokiety or paszteciki.
We actually had more people tell us they do dip, rather than not! I thought Anja was crazy for doing it, but a lot of our Polish viewers seem to dip as well. 😅
@@wherearewe-yt it might be regional then :) but I guess do whatever tastes more delicious to you :)
pierogi, placki ziemniaczane, pyzy, barszcz, szarlotka
We tried all of these dishes between our Poland video, actually! Pierogi in the Krakow videos, and placki ziemniaczane in the next Warsaw video.
I like clear red borscht just to drink, you can have it to poierogi with meat.
Polish croquettes are wrapped in pancakes and then dipped in eggwash and breadcrumbs before frying.
Afera means sth like drama / affair, so this place is called drama on hospital street ;-)
I figured it could be hospital, too, because there is a similar word for hospital in German, but the street was named the same thing, so I was not sure. Thanks for clarifying! 🙂
Sernik (cheesecake) is made from farmer cheese. Krokiety(you had them with barszcz) are crapes 😊 you just put whatever stuffing you like in it,roll it,then wisked egg, bread crumbs. Butter on the pan and yummy! Polish girl from Florida 😊
We loved both dishes! We would really like to try some more variations of the krokiety. Are there sweet versions, too? I think that would be good!
@@wherearewe-yt yes! You can make them with farmer cheese,sugar and vanilla extract but then you are skipping the wisked egg and bread crumbs. Only crapes with stuffing then you make like a triangle shape,just a butter on the pan one minute each side and serve them with sour cream and sugar. Enjoy 🙂 it's easy to make polish crapes
Oh you ate one of my puddled dishes and filling and I eat them when I am on travel -troops with red borscht for sipping. This is a pancake cake. Well, it does not dream in borscht, borscht is to be sipped. Aaaa "Flaczka" is a story. The tripe is cooking first and the water spills and cooks again, adding a lot of spices. Other species of meat, spices are added to them and it is cooked until everything is soft. Flames should have a lot of marjoram and it should be pepper and thick. Poles definitely prefer homemade from the restaurants. Poultry livers with fried onion is another favorite dish. You can eat it once a month due to cholesterol. Fryed directly or coated in flour and at the end of frying, the fried onion is added and frying together in a pan and finally sprinkled with salt, because the salt sprinkled with salt before frying hardens. There is nothing to do with the traditional fried beef liver. I saw that you were drinking honey beer, but Poland was already famous in the Middle Ages for the alcoholic beverage "Pitone honeys", which is made after today. The price depends on the years of aging - it reminds me of the taste of Hungarian Tokay only sweeter.
Maybe one day we will be lucky enough to have a home cooked Polish meal! The restaurants we tried were all great, but it would be a great experience to have a Polish mother or grandmother cook for us!
Someone else suggested we try some Polish mead. We need to try that next time, too.
I'd be happy to recommend more not so popular tourist soups with I like very much. Zupa ogórkowa (cucumber soup, my fovourite), żur śląski (żurek is not the same!, access only in silesia region), zupa kapuśniak (sour cabbage soup), zupa szczawiowa (sorrel soup), zupa krupnik (barley soup), jarzynowa (vegetable soup), grochówka (split pea soup, known as military soup) and last one is not a soup but something sweet, racuchy (apple pancake).
Thanks for all of the great suggestions! We love trying out things that are less touristy. We'll have to try some of these next time we're in Poland. There are so many soups..maybe we just need to make a "Trying Polish Soups" video in the future! Haha.
Placki z gulaszem. Potato pancakes with goulash. I recomend that in most of restaurants its done very good
We try potato pancakes in the next video, I think. 😃
it's a honey beer, we also recommend it warm, when you have a cold ;)
That sounds amazing! 😊
Hi, I just love Your films here, You two are so natural and real. One thing tho... Those cucumbers You call Pickles are not pickled every time, some of them are named "kiszone" which means "fermented cucumbers" and they taste different in every Polish household.
Na zdrowie!
Oooh, gotcha! Thanks for watching. We're really happy you enjoyed. 😃
Next time you're in Warsaw, you have to try Rurki z Wiatraka! The best ever rurki z kremem!
You will find that estabilishment on Rondo Wiatraczna
If you try them, you will be thanking me for the tip 🙂
We would take any reason to try them again! We actually bought a second one right after we filmed that scene. SO GOOD.
Thanks for the recommendation! We will save it in our Google Maps for next time.
I tipp croquette in the beet soup:)
A lot of others seem to do it as well!
Na zdrowie 😮
🍻
You two are good sports when it comes to food but I suspect it is also your business decition to be so kind and gracious about food you eat when travelling.
We are actually always honest with our food reviewing, but we also try to do a lot of research and find restaurants that are well reviewed, or we find local recommended spots. So we don't often try things that are bad. We are also not picky at all. There are very few flavors we don't like. For me, licorice is one of few things I still haven't grown a taste for! Hahaha.
If we don't like something, I think the main difference between us and some other RUclipsrs is that we try to refrain from using degrading words like "disgusting" or "terrrible" when trying a countries local food. We find that quite rude. We just say that "it's not for us" or "not a fan".
We often try and seek out a countries more "more unusual dishes". Some good examples would be when we tried sheep's face in Morocco, jellied eels in England, or rooster testicles in Hungary. These types of dishes often end in mixed reactions. 😅
Most recently, in our Krakow video, Anja didn't like the "galaretka z nόżek" too much. I quite enjoyed it, though!
To be fair.. Polish food is pretty amazing. And we didn't try anything bad. If you have any unusual Polish food recommendations, we'd love it hear them!
I don't know where you live, but even though you speak English, I sense a German accent. Nice movie and delicious.
Hahaha. Yes, Anja is from Berlin!
13:00 - Kiszka ziemniaczana (You pronounced it quite correctly) - A specialty from northeastern Poland. And also "babka ziemniaczana" - similar, but it looks different .. Great. 21:00 - the soup actually has its roots in Lithuania.
That babka ziemniaczana looks quite interesting! We'd have liked to try that. We will have to explore some of the north east in the future.
I thought so, but I wasn't 100% sure if it was the same soup or not. I remembered seeing a Lithuanian RUclipsr making it before, but I wasn't sure if the Polish version was different in some way. Really tasty!
@@wherearewe-yt Well, the Polish-Lithuanian-Belarusian borderland is the kingdom of potato dishes. Quite a heavy cuisine, but delicious.
More Polish food - yah! Sour cream here is not what it was years ago. It used to have real flavor. The beer caps covering the walls is really cool. Some Polish dishes I've not seen before. Potato sausage looked interesting. Thanks for showing the price for the wine in US dollars. That was quite the bargain. Hi from rainy Oregon.
We had never heard of the potato sausage either before this video, but we're happy we got to try it! We do enjoy blood sausage as well, but we've had blood sausage all over the world. This was a lot more unique!
Although this is it for the Polish food tours, we still have three more videos, which still feature lots of food!
Thanks for watching, as always. 😃
miód pitny to zdecydowanie coś co powinniście spróbować
We've bought honey wine from a local farmers market while in Poland, but I don't know that we've ever had mead there. We're big fans! We'll have to make it a point to track some down the next time we're in Poland.
It didn't make it into the video, but I bought and tried multiple Polish honey beers and drank them at home, including Perła Miodowa and Łomża. So good!
@@mrozikmisiek9031 krupnik. Not soup
Wuzetka (pronounced voo-zetka [vuzɛtka]) is a chocolate sponge and cream pie which originated in Warsaw, Poland. Its name is probably derived from the Warsaw W-Z Route, on which the confectionery that first began to sell the dessert in late 1940s was located. Traditional to Varsovian cuisine, the dessert was exclusively served by cafés and restaurants in Warsaw, but soon became a beloved home-made food in Poland.
The dessert most likely originated at the turn of the 1940s and 1950s in one of Warsaw's newly founded sweet shops. However, the precise origin of the name is debatable; historians and certain sources agree that the cake was probably named after the Warsaw W-Z Route (East-West Route), which ran next to the shop. Other sources state that the name comes from the acronym "WZC", which either stood for the Warsaw Confectionery Plants (Warszawskie Zakłady Cukiernicze) or for the Polish term "pastry with chocolate" (wypiek z czekoladą). The abbreviation "WZK" for "pastry with cream" (wypiek z kremem) is also a possibility.
The confectionery store was most likely situated somewhere near or in the "Kino Muranów" cinema building on 5 Andersa Street, in the Muranów district of Warsaw.[
The two square chocolate layers of the cake are made of wheat flour, eggs, sugar and cocoa. The mixture is baked in the oven at 180 °C for 20-30 minutes. The baked layers are then dipped and soaked in punch. The top layer is thinly covered in marmalade, powidl or jam, followed by thick chocolate pomade coating. The cream filling is made of a 36% whipping cream, powdered sugar and gelatin.The pie is traditionally topped with a whipped cream twirl.
We loved it!
"Mirosławski" is brand of that cider. Pół wytrawne means semi-dry which is funny that its sweet for you. I personaly prefer Lubelski which is actualy sweet.
We actually have some beers from that brand in our Krakow video, but Anja didn't realize at the time! Haha. We'd love to try some more Polish ciders the next time we visit. We will have to remember that brand for next time.
If you liked rurki you will also like "Cieple Lody" literally translates to "Warm Ice Cream" I used to eat them all the time back when I was still living in Poland.
Ooooh, that looks delicious!
Maybe you can explain, but we were curious about the name of this rurki dish. There seemed to be some photos where this dish came in more of a "cone," and then some photos were the tube version we had. The woman who talked to is called it rurki kremem (or something close to that), but the label said "Rurki z bitą śmietaną". It rurki more of a "general term" for this type of snack??
@@wherearewe-yt It is more of a general term yes "Rurka" is just a small pipe in Polish so it's basically "a small pipe with cream". "Bita smietana" translates to "whipped cream" in Polish. Cone shaped ones are just another version of it. You can also get them with Chocolate and Lemon cream filling.
Gotcha! Thanks for letting us know.
Croquettes are always going with borscht (beetroot soup)
So we've heard! We loved it. It was one of our favorite things we tried.
Krokiety z czerwonym barszczem to potrawy wigilijne😊nalesnik z nadzieniem obtaczane w jajku i bulce tartej popijane slodko piernym czerwonym barszczem, wodke zawsze powinno sie pić schłodzoną, kiszka ziemniaczana - tarte ziemniaki z podsmazona cebula i boczkiem lub kiełbasą 😊Na Kurpiach mamy kiszke ziemniaczana i babke ziemniaczana, ktore roznie sa nazywane w roznych regionach i doprawiane. Mamy tez miód pitny to tez rodzaj alkoholu, zapraszamy do Myszynca na miodobranie w roku 2025😊
That sounds like a great Christmas Eve dish! It was our first time trying krokiety, and now it's a new favorite. Especially with that side of soup. So good!
Oh... krokiety z mięsem i barszczyk...
One of our favorite recommendations we've had from a local! The whole meal was great, but the krokiety/ barszczyk combo was amazing.
@@wherearewe-yt That's what we eat mostly during christmas. Cold night and hot clear Barszcz is the perfect combination. You should try "Barszcz z uszkami" (little dumplings putted into soup) but don't think if any restaurant serve this beside christmas time.
I've seen photos of that version before, but I've never seen it on a menu. We really need to come back for Christmas one year!
@@wherearewe-yt If you like Pierogi with cabbage and mushrooms, you will love "Barszcz z Uszkami", that's the most christmas time dinner ever in Poland. Geez.. I need to do now even a simple hot cup of barszcz. Damn you!
You must to try fried polish bloddy sosuage with anion and leafs of polish real bred. And of course with polish vodka and black hot tea or polish beer ;) Yu will be in heaven when you will try it :)
We would love to try it! We were disappointed that the restaurant we visited didn't have it. The potato sausage was still good, though.
Next time, we will definitely track it down and try it!
You can do this deash in home Just In 5 minutes! :) m.ruclips.net/video/ajThjIQDL7Q/видео.html&pp=ygUSS2FzemFua2EgeiBjZWJ1bGth This deash is the best when you smashed it and mix it with anion when you firied it! Just like in this film! ;) Its a cheap i guick deash and of course very delicious :)
Oranzada means lemonade.
Does it?? I thought the translation was more like, "orangeade".
is a fish and chips no good anymore ?
I mean, we love fish and chips, but we're certainly not going to get them in Poland. 😂
Will there be an episode in which you will try Polish sweets from the store? I travel around Europe a bit and always try foreign sweets. I think that Polish sweets are of a really good standard
Yes! The last video of this series is a snack video, where we try a bunch of beers, sweets & salty snacks.
@@wherearewe-yt Nice :D
your pronounce of polish dishes name is very good, ngl
I try! But Anja is much better at pronunciation than me. Haha.
Krokiety only with lot of cheese and mushrooms, and you dont dip them in barszcz :D
We've actually had quite a few people say they do dip! Hahaha.
Ooo! Please tell me the name of the best soup you had with croquettes in Warsaw! I had that 30 years ago and have not been able to get it since!
It was labeled as Barszcz Czerwony (Borscht) but it's unlike any borscht we've had before, as it was just a broth! It looked so simple, but it was suuuuper flavorful.
This recipe looks identical to what we were drinking. Maybe you can make it at home!
eatingeuropean.com/borscht-recipe/
Thank you so much! I'm going to look up the recipe right now!
Dobra tradycyjna kaszanka z grila albo smażona jest pyszna ale trudno kupić dobrą kaszanke taką tradycyjną.
We tried to find it, but failed! Next time, for sure.
Tak to prawdziwie polskie potrawy ,krokiety popijamy barszczykiem i często to ostatnie danie na weselach,barszczyk wpływa dobrzena nadmiar alkoholu
A few others have mentioned that. Very interesting! We really loved that dish. Such a great combination.
y its normal krokiety podajemy z " barszcz czerwony "
You can put krokiety in barszcz. You are in Poland! You Can doit everything!! this is not Italia :P
Oranżada has its origins in 18th century and came to Poland from France. It was prepared with real orange juice but during industrial era it was replaced with powdered juice. In Poland during communist rule due to shortages of imported fruits its flavor was replaced with mix of local fruit and vegetable extracts, so modern oranżada has nothing to do with original one nor with oranges. Hopefully we will change that, as in last few years there is a movement of rediscovering old polish cuisine that was obscured and changed by occupants and communists.
Ahhh, very interesting! So what about the orange colored bottles now? Are those not flavored with real orange either? We try both the clear and red versions in our snack video, and we couldn't quite identify the flavors, though they were quite tasty!
@@wherearewe-yt Probably artificial ones, but maybe there are some smaller companies that make it legitly. I could not find ingridient list for that one in glass bottle, but that bigger one (Hellena) is 20% apple juice, no oranges, rest is water, sugar or high fructose syrup and artificial color (in case of non transparent variants). Honestly I'm not sure if I ever drunk original oranżada, it always was that artificially tasting one. I've also checked few other brands and some of them don't contain any natural juice, just artificlai flavoring. It may be a taste of my childhood, but it is not healthier than regular soda.
I wish we could try the original recipe. We're going to have to make it a point to track it down next time we're in Poland, if we can.
Krokiet tylko z rosołem z buraków,podstawa,a bigos najlepszy z kiszonej kapusty.
We learned after we left Poland that you can buy this beet brother pre-made at the grocery store. We would have brought some with us! It was so delicious. It seems like the perfect thing to drink in the winter on a cold day. I may have to try and make it at home.
Thank you :) Enjoy the food The Wuzetka's name is a short for express way in Warsaw built in the 60's called Trasa W-Z, meaning The East-West Express Way. In Warsaw, in communism, you couldn't just order a coffee on its own, you would be forced to have a coffee and Wuzetka, it always came as a set.
Wow, that's super interesting! But what if the person was diabetic?! Hahaha..
We would happily eat that cake with a coffee every day! It was really tasty.
Spróbuj czerninę
ja wam życze zebyscie zjedli konkretny żurek :) taki prawdziwy a nie co w knajpach
We tried żurek in our Krakow video, but many people told us the soup looked more thin than usual, so we need to try it again. We will have to make some Polish friends, and have a Polish grandmother make us some at home! Haha.
Dipping croquets in borscht is not okay, it's necessary. ; )
When she did it, I thought viewers were going to freak out! It turns out us putting sour cream on bigos was more shocking. Hahaha.
i am preaty sure u are sponsored : ) but ;) no wories at least some1 says godd about Poland :)
Sponsored by whom? Poland? Hahaha. We wish! We would happily make a sponsored video by the tourism board if they asked. But our channel is much too small for that at the moment. If a video is sponsored, we are required to say so by RUclips.
Niektóre dania na litwie, Białorusi i Ukrainie mogą być podobne do Polskich ponieważ te państwa były częścią dawnej Rzeczypospolitej obojga Narodów czyli państwa Polsko Litewskiego które istniało od 16 do 18 wieku 😅
We noticed that, but we have never been to Lithuania yet. One day will compare 😊
Dont take it as criticism because you are trying really good traditional dishes that people recommend for very good reason but from hundreds of videos i watched on YT of people trying Polish food i never once seen anyone try typical grochowka wojskowa. Next time please look for a place outside of city that has military style trailer kitchen and does grochowka. Its absolutely phenomenal and you will be first on YT to try it
Where were you when I made my reddit post! Hahaha. I was actually trying to ask locals what they would like to see in a video-- but more specifically, favorite dishes that are shown less often. That would have been great to try!
We love to show dishes that most others don't. We will have to try that in a future video when we return.
I actually straight up just want to make a Polish soup video because there are so many good ones. 🍲
@wherearewe-yt ye im always late to the party 🤣
Du siehst aus wie die Schwester von einem deutschen Freund von mir 😂 vielleicht hast du familie im Norden 😅 pozdrawiam
Einen Bruder habe ich leider nicht. Es sei denn ich weiß nichts von ihm 🤷😂
Jedzie na Śląsk góry tam pojęcie
We'd love to check out more of the nature in Poland next time!
OMG bigos with sour cream ?!!!!🙀🙈
Hahaha. Yes! Sour cream is good with everything. Why? Is that not something Polish people do? Its delicious!
Why not. Thats what the do in Hungary though not common in Poland.
one note, Poland is not Eastern Europe, in any aspect, maybe only the political one from the times of the Cold War xD
11:50 - this is not vodka, this is "Cytrynówka", Lemon Vodka. And Cydr Miłosławski is average, better is Cydr Lubelski or Perry Lubelskie.
Thanks for letting us know! And we would love to try some more Polish cider in the future, so thanks for the recommendations. 🍻
Polish need tripe soup is eaten with a roll + a glass of vodka!!!! tripe soup should be spicy with black pepper, hot red pepper, sometimes ginger and marjoram are added.
We had it with a roll, but it was a bit early in the day for vodka! I think it was 11AM. 😂
Ale ceny, 10 zł za buteleczkę oranżady i 19 zł za miseczkę bigosu.
Yeah, the 10zł for the drink was quite expensive! We bought it at the store for our snack video, and it was a fraction of the price!
the New York Cheesecake is in reality a slightly degenerated German Cheesecake (learn history). The German one (there are actually different ones but some are more popular) is better, because it is more 'on point' from the consistency, cream and so on. The New York one (which differs from other regions in the US btw.) lost a bit of the important 'grip' (typical for many American food). Now, while many other food also lost some taste and consistency (Bread which is horrible sweetened and the consistency is also questionable. And even Hotdog 'bread' is horrible soggy) at least the New York Cheesecake is - even already slightly downgread - still very tasty and good. It just lost a bit of the more refined taste/consistency. But still, I would advice to try it to everyone. I would NOT do that with most bread etc.! The rest is a habit, if one is used to more sweet stuff like many Americans then it might taste better (but thats remains questionable). The Polish one has actually a totally different consistency, as you can already optical see. You have similar ones also in Germany as well but I would not count that as classic Cheesecake - but of course, there are also people who like that and its still ok). Keep in mind that Germany was the base of the Holy Roman Empire, most of the time after the decline of the classic Roman Empire and the Germanic Frankish Empire (France got its name from that but was just the Western part, East and most of the Center became Germany/Holy Roman Empire) which was most of the time the dominant power in Europe (also the most populated) which also is geographically placed in all directions (Northern Italy, Rome/Papal states, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, Czech/Bohemia, Austria, Switzerland etc. were all part of that). This means: you have the highest food diversity in Germany (in modern times also due to the fact that Germany as biggest economy in the center is also the main destination as hub) and most stuff you get in neighboring countries or even farer away was already part of the German kitchen (just overshadowed by some more stereotyped food). Same is btw. also true for many other aspects like Fabeltiere/Monsters of the medieval time and earlier. Some Slavic countries believe that there are some monsters unknown to the 'west' but they dont know that most of the stuff was/is also known in Germany for the same reason.(interface region with till today most traffic (also the biggest internet hub of Europe). Btw., at the moment Berlin is since kind of 5-10 years the best food spot on earth. Not just because you get everything a modern global city nowadays has to offer (actually much more diversity than in NY, London or Paris (which mostly still has just classic French food with some exceptions. Btw, NY has also more diversity than London/Paris but is inferior (and way more expensive. Not just because it has almost no good bread if you dont really go to special places) to Berlin) but also much more in higher quality (and relatively cheaper. For a couple of reasons (some have to do with what i said above) Germany is on one hand a high income country but has on the other hand quite low prices (which is why from cars to electronics, groceries etc. most neighbor countries buy in Germany if at the border or the product is a more expensive one) ....
It's all a matter of personal preference. I grew up with more the "American" styles, so it's typically what I prefer. Anja, of course, prefers German. I liked the Polish version because it feels like a nice "in between". It felt a bit more heavy and dense than a German cheesecake, but a lot less rich than a NY style.
Berlin is a great food city. Anja is from there, so we lived there together for two years. And you're right about the groceries! Even now, they're very cheap in comparison to some neighboring countries. We no longer have a "home", but if it were up to me, I would definitely move back there some day.
gj guys :) u have eraned you money :)) om beer :) u hated 90% : )
Unfortunately, we usually spend much more money on our videos than we earn. Hopefully, one day that'll change? You wanna sponsor us? 🤣 And no, we actually liked 100 % 😊.
I didn't like it as a child, but now I love it, let's try WĄTRÓBKA :)
Liver? We don't mind liver, but we typically don't eat a whole plate of it either. How is it prepared in Poland??
@@wherearewe-yt steam-boiled with onions and some spices. Served with potatoes and sauerkraut or pickles.
Kielbasa biala ( z miesem ) a nie...ziemniaczana !
you should try bimber :D especially from Łącko :)
We'd never heard of it, but now after researching it, we HAVE to try it next time we're in Poland. Hahaha. "Polish Moonshine"??? I'm in.
@@wherearewe-yt You can try not only pure bimber. Very popular is plum taste. It's name "śliwowica", but check before where you can find good one, because often has terrible flavour and taste.
Always dip your krokiet in barszcz, it's a crime otherwise. Enjoy!
Really??? Hahaha. I thought Anja would get destroyed in the comments for doing this. Too funny. Good to know!
Thanks for watching. We loved everything. Polish food is amazing.
I've been watching your videos on Poland 🇵🇱 and PLEASE stop saying nastrowia every time you drink. When you toast say STOLATZ
Too late! Haha.
No one else mentioned that before, though. We've even had a few people say it to us in the comments.
Nah, these are not pyzy, come to Poznań for the real
We've been to Poznan (long before RUclips), but didn't have them there! We will have to go back some time.
@wherearewe-yt definitely, it's our local dish with beef rolls (zrazy) or duck
You made another great movie. A few things need to be clarified. Each region of Poland has its own local cuisine and products. Dumplings and tripe in this restaurant are served in jars due to the Warsaw tradition. At traditional markets, ladies sold these dishes in jars, advertising themselves with the slogan ' Flaki i pyzy gorące - Hot tripe and dumplings'. This is how you ate the poor version of Lithuanian cold soup. My grandmother served cold soup with slices of boiled veal or crayfish necks. There are many of the same dishes in Polish and Lithuanian cuisine: Lithuanian cold soup, Lithuanian dumplings, kartacze, etc. It is similar with Belarusian, Ukrainian, Slovak dishes and German influences in Polish cuisine. These are all echoes of history.
That's super interesting! You're actually the first to tell us that. The name of the restaurant even had an exclamation mark at the end, as you're meant to shout the name. Now it all makes sense.
Oooooh, boiled veal or crayfish would have made it even better. I knew it had Lithuanian roots only because a RUclipsr we watch made it before in a video. Though, I wasn't sure if the Polish version was different in some way.
Thanks for the information, and thanks again for watching!
Poland its not Western Europe,Anja.😊😊😊
Did I say that? I'm pretty sure I said Poland is our favorite country in Eastern Europe at the end of the video. Unless it was somewhere else? 😂
Nic dziwnego że takie dobre a nie ten syf u was ...
Yeah, and what "crap" is that exactly? The only people who make these types of comments are the ones who have never actually traveled or been anywhere. There's plenty of great food in both of our countries, thanks. 😘
