    A little Histori about Polish donuts - centuries ago donuts were stuffed with pig fat and various meat were consumed on Thursday and fasting on Friday. At that time, fasting in Poland was very restrictive. Today it is served sweet and is called Fat Thursday. Poles are occupying all bakeries and pastry shops at that time.

    11:08 - "kurna chata" means "cottage with no chimney", it'a a primitive kind of cottage. In Poland some people - when they don't want to use the word "kurwa" (which is a very heavy curse!) just say: "kurna!", exactly the same way Americans say "darn!" instead of "damn!". Some poeple in Poland add "chata", what makes no sense, but that's how it is :)

    Inside bread is no soup, but Bigos, and it have nothing to do with hunter stew, but if that makes it easier for you to describe it sure thing. But you should call this Bigos, and real Bigos is something very special only for Slavic countrys and comes from poland, and takes 3 days to cook. Its known from Kings party where citisens outside the castle made a big container pot of clay where they cooked 2 types of cabbage and added meat leftovers from kings party. On third day the clay pot was cracked open and there was plenty of delicious food for everyone.

    I can be wrong but I think you'll find a lot of restaurants in Poland have slow service. Polish people don't go to restaurants as often, it's more of a special occasion. On top of that a lot of people connect slow service with freshly prepared foods, and not microwaved or reheated.

    Kurna chata is like a willage house back in a days. Centuries ago in Poland tax was collecting basing on the count of chimneys. The more chimneys in a house the higher tax you pay. Many people back then, specially thouse poor on the countryside decided to biuld a houses without a chimneys to avoid paying taxes. They want to burn fire inside the houses disregarding the fact that there were no chimney. Thouse houser soaked out the smoke throught the roof. That is the origin of the word "kurna" which means like smokey. "Chata" means old/cheap house.

    Cucumbers: lactofermented - "kiszone" - be sure that they are hard not mushy and without mold. They are great with some spicy meat like kielbasa; "małosolne" - less fermented, more marinated in herbs (garlic) and salt. I'm not sure if they're polish but they are worth trying especially for their distinct taste and crunchiness.
    You will find them at bazar (prepare some cash).
    Near main square you can find gingerbread shop where you can buy sour and dry version of gingerbread distinct from famous Toruń gingerbread which are more wet and honey (or hard as rock).
    This could apply more to Krakow region but cabbage stewed with meat is incredibly flavorful.

    If at all possible, please make your own homemade pierogi. It's not that hard but it's time consuming. Pick a cold rainy day and try making them at home. Nothing like homemade. My favorite pierogi are sour kraut with caramelized onions and finely chopped sauteed mushrooms. Also love the farmer cheese. Many of these videos call it cottage cheese, but it's actually farmer cheese. They are similar but very different.

    It was "Pyra with a Gzik". Pyra - potato, Gzik - cottage cheese. "Potatoes with cottage cheese" typical of the Wielkopolska region. Potatoes can be baked or cooked. Bigos(Hunter stew) is a mixture of sauerkraut and white cabbage with the addition of several sausages and several types of meats(venison is the best), forest mushrooms, dried fruit and red wine. You have to cook it for several days. That's why you won't eat real hunter stew in a restaurant. Modern sanitary law prohibits such food preparation.

    Remember that the word "kurny" in the phrase "kurna chata" means 'smoky, smoky, smoky' and should be combined with the verb "kurza", meaning 'smoke, smoke', and the pre-Slavic word kurь 'smoke'. Originally, the forms of dust and dust had such a sense, they concerned smoking, smoking. The word "kurna" should not be translated literally into English. Of course, in literal translation it will have the same meaning as the English word "damn". And today in Poland, it is used only in this context as such a mild curse. But in the past it meant something different. Especially in this combination "kurna chata".

    • @maksymilianmopik322
      @maksymilianmopik322 5 лет назад +3

      In the Middle Ages, this meant a house without a chimney - the smoke from the fire was rising and escaping through special openings in the walls under the ceiling. It could be described as a "smoky house". By the way, I don't know why the restaurant was called that, unless it was supposed to emphasize the "rustic" nature of the dishes?

      @rupert2019 5 лет назад +2

      @@0plp0 I use google translator to translate it from polish. Of course, google translator make this mistake. This is original polish text: Jak myślicie, skąd się wzięło powiedzenie kurna chata? Czy ma ono związek z wyrazem kura albo z określeniem dom na kurzej stopce?
      Nie, nazwa kurna chata nie jest domem na kurzej stopce, a słowo kurny nie pochodzi od słowa kura.
      Kurna chata (albo kurna izba) to inaczej ‘dawna, prymitywna chata, z podłogą klepiskiem, ścianami z desek, pozbawiona komina i przewodów odprowadzających dym’. Kiedy się w niej rozpaliło ogień (palenisko znajdowało się najczęściej w środkowej części chaty), dym uchodził przez otwór w najwyższym punkcie dachu.
      Nic więc dziwnego, że nasi przodkowie nazywali takie prymitywne schronienie kurną chatą. Po prostu z niej się kurzyło, czyli ‘dymiło’, z zewnątrz cała wyglądała ona na zadymioną, zakopconą od dymu.
      Pamiętajcie zatem, że słowo kurny w wyrażeniu kurna chata znaczy ‘dymny, dymiący, zadymiony’ i należy je łączyć z czasownikiem kurzyć, czyli ‘dymić, palić’, i prasłowiańskim wyrazem kurь ‘dym’. Pierwotnie bowiem formy kurzyć i kurz miały taki sens, dotyczyły dymienia, palenia.
      Zamiast kurny mówiło się czasem kurzny lub kurlawy, np. kurzna chata, kurzna izba; kurlawa chata, kurlawa izba. Wszystkie określenia nazywały ‘pomieszczenie bez komina’.
      Ale jeszcze dzisiaj można czasem usłyszeć zwroty typu Strasznie się kurzy z komina (czyli ‘dymi’); Co tak kurzysz jeden papieros za drugim, w pokoju jest popielato od dymu (tzn. ‘palisz i dymisz’)? bądź przenośnie O, znowu mu się czupryna, łeb kurzy albo Znowu mu się z czupryny, ze łba kurzy, co znaczy, że ‘ktoś jest pijany, podpity’.
      Muszę jednak w tym miejscu koniecznie dodać, że choć pierwotnie czasownik kurzyć znaczył ‘dymić, palić’, i od niego pochodzi nazwa kurna chata, to jednak później otrzymał on drugą definicję ‘rozniecać kurz, prószyć czymś sypkim’. Kurz oczywiście nie ma nic wspólnego z paleniem ani dymieniem, ale kiedy się coś spali, powstaje popiół, podobny do pyłu, np. tego, który pojawia się w powietrzu.
      Tak oto słowo kurz (pierwotnie ’dym’) nabrało wtórnego znaczenia (‘drobne cząsteczki różnych ciał’), a od niego kurzyć (‘dymić, palić’) zaczęło znaczyć ‘rozniecać kurz’. Pamiętajcie o tym…
      Pisząc o etymologii wyrażenia kurna chata, nie sposób nie wspomnieć o słynnej piosence sprzed lat „Kurna chata” kabaretu „Elita” z Wrocławia. Wasi rodzice albo dziadkowie na pewno ją znają. „Kurną chatę” napisał i aktorsko wykonywał nieodżałowany Jan Kaczmarek. Zaczynała się tak:
      A mnie się marzy kurna chata,
      Zwyczajna izba zbita z prostych desek,
      Żeby się odbić od całego świata,
      Od paragonów, paragrafów i wywieszek.
      Zaszyć się w kącie, w kupie liści,
      Tak żeby tylko czubek nosa było widać,
      Nic nie zamiatać, nic nie czyścić,
      Nie kombinować, co się jeszcze może przydać (…).

    Lmao please don't trust Google Translate XD "Kurna chata" refers to a very old type of house that was common in Slavic regions before the 20th century; it was basically just a small cottage without a chimney in which smoke from the hearth would escape via a hole in the topmost part of the roof. I can see how Google could've got it wrong, since "kurna" also happens to be a mild swearword, but that is not (I presume) what the restaurant had in mind when picking the name XD
