Can you guys please practice how to pronounce the first I in pIerogi. I understand that "diphthong":ie it's not part of the English phoneme system and it would be great if you pronounce the first I separately from the following e. P.S. I see you have an Argentina video here so allow me to suggest: when you go back to Argentina make sure to stop by Klub Polaco(Polish Club) in Buenos Aires and then go the next for lunch at El Mar(Peruvian Ceviche). They are both in the Palermo neighborhood. I do enjoy your videos and you come across as warm people, the video in Zakopane is my favorite so far; it was even better than Kult America's (one of the greatest Polish youtube channels) but PEROGI kinda disrupts the flow.
@@einarabelc5 We're so happy you like our videos. Keep in mind we are dipping in and out of countries quite often so it's easy to get pronunciations wrong here and there (so many languages!). 😳 Most people would know what we mean by saying PERogi (that's our accents happening for the most part FYI). We're close though 😉 right? But you at least still understand what we are trying to say. - Anna
Of all the countries that I visited so far (19), Poland is by far my most favorite. Poland is the very essence of Europe. I have even thought about living there.
As a Pole, I will say just say that's it better not to, it's not worth it. While the country is beautiful and the culture is unique, it's still not enough to balance out the current political/economical situation. The majority of the country is extremely poor in comparison to most other European countries, the average hourly wage in our country is about 8 euros pre-tax, meanwhile, in comparison, Germany's minimum wage is 12 euros. Often two people with full-time jobs are just barely enough to pay rent here. It also doesn't help that our government is pretty much a form of populist autocracy - a single party is constantly holding rule by pretty much constantly promising social grants to those who are poor, grants that are taken from constantly increasing taxation, that in effect drives the economy down even more making everyone, even more, poorer, or constantly implementing "special requirements" to "make the elections fair" that often end up preventing the majority of voters from actually taking parts in them, or idk openly violating human rights and EU rights by outlawing access to basic resources like contraception, or by outlawing lgbt rights. Also, people here are often extremely xenophobic, they don't show it to tourists because well, they bring in money, but they are often openly hateful towards most foreigners in everyday life situations.
@@jak582filmweb It sounds good to me compared to living in the USA. If you think Poland is bad try living here. Fascism and racism are on the rise, xenophobia and bigotry toward women are skyrocketing at a ridiculous pace. There are a great number of extreme far right politicians that are openly trying to destroy democracy. We have a Communist anti-American lunatic, (Trump), that has decimated our economic security, Foreign security, and World standing. I spent 6 months in Poland and I can say that it is Nirvana compared to this country.
@@aprilmay578 I am not saying that you don't have it bad too, tbh, in my opinion, choosing between living in America or Poland is like choosing if you want to cut off your arm or your leg - preferably neither. Both countries have an extreme rise in xenophobia and bigotry, and both have seen a violation of human rights to extreme levels(America mostly(but not only) on the racial background like the Police brutality, Poland mostly(but not only) on sex inequality background, like the law that prohibits you from aborting a child as a rape victim), and both are run down by Communist lunatics that are ruling them right now, my point was more akin to "The third choice of going somewhere else nearby that's much better and still visiting from time to time", like how I plan to move to Czech soon, much better living conditions at the cost of having to drive for 2h longer to see my family.
@@jak582filmweb Sorry, but the transparency of your extremism and your pedantic fallacious dichotomies demonstrates your insecurities to societal norms. which makes me disqualify your asserted suggestions
@@aprilmay578 Extremist pff, mate you are talking shit about your own country and that's okay but when I use the exact same terminology to you, exact because I was using a comparative parafrase, to describe the country I lived in for 25 years and that you've seen maybe like twice in your life it makes me an extremist. I know you won't believe me because of course an American knows more about how the life is here than us, but damn at least look at some statistics first. For example look at the democracy index to compare the freedom of voting, you know how bad it is in America then tell me that it's better here even though we are twice as far down the list in comparison, look at average wages and tell me it's not bad even though we are in the top 10 worst in Europe, look at the citizen happiness survey and tell me it's better here even though we are far behind you. Also do you even know what a dychotomy means? Please point out any two informations that I gave that seem as contradictory to you, I will gladly discuss them
Thanks so much for covering Poland positively. I remember when I was a little kid in the States; it didn't even occur to me that you could discriminate against people based on the countries they were from. It was shocking to my lil' naive kid self to be made fun of for being Polish. I feel like it's kind of shamed me ever since. Warms my heart to hear people from the west being open to Poland. ......Oh, and they have THE BEST soups in the world, hands down!! ;)
Americans make joke about Poland cause they solld us after world war 2 into Stalin's hands. Jokes are just to justify this eternal shame. Never forget about Yalta.
It was pretty bad in the late 70's and early 80's; there were ever-present "Polish jokes" and anti-Polish stereotypes in the U.S. media. It seemed like a concerted, purposeful effort by certain people to make Polish Americans into second rate humans. Now it's no longer bad at all, I would even say that Poles are made fun of less than many other nationalities and ethnic groups. I think that this positive turnaround has to do with two primary things: one, unlike in the past today's Polish immigrants in the U.S. are highly educated and sophisticated (programmers, professionals); two: many people from US backwaters have finally met Poles (for instance people from Texas etc. have served together with Polish Army in various conflicts throughout the world) and realized that they are highly professional, civilized and intelligent people, and have exposed their neighbors to that fact.
My dad told me to always be careful who you tell that you are Polish. You are going to find out if someone is really a friend if they know. I told someone I was in middle school and they never once stopped making fun of me. She was supposed to be my best friend. I never told anyone for a long time after that.
People in the states in Western Europe can't understand why eastern Europeans are so part of their ethnic heritage and there so nationalistic. Your comment really brought home the reason why that is the case. European people have been getting shit about their heritage for a long time.
I'm Polish American and I grew up eating 80% Polish food.Funny thing is i didnt know it was "Polish food".It was just the way we ate.When i got older i recognized it and got a laught.It explains why an 8yr.old loves pickled herring and with cream&onions. I grew up being proud to be Polish.I never understood why Americans made jokes about Polish being dumb.In college an auther&speaker talked to my English class about his book "Entombed". It was a very emotionally charged experience for me.He gave his explanation to where the Polish stereotype came from.His taken was that Hitler's enormous war "machine" was taking over countries without resistance knowing they'll be slaughtered for attempting to go up against Hitlar.Poland was the only country that fought the Germans,knowing they'll be slaughtered but gave their blood for the LOVE of their country.I don't know if that's factually based but stupid is not what that was.Courageous brevity is more accurate.Knowing my ancestors were so brave and love for other human beings that they hid Jews in their homes from the Germans knowing they'll be killed if discovered.Those acts of compassion and empathy is remarkable.Although there are many humanitarians in the world,ive yet to hear of average citizens risk their life and lives of family and children to save strangers. Millions of Poles were murdered and gassed along with the jews yet it's not as well known.I also think the Germans and Stalin adventagiously perpetuated this ridiculous stereotype of Poles as a way to strip them of their dignity and break them down.Poland was a country to be reckoned with.Germans had a much harder time decimating millions of innocent ppl with Poles hiding&evading at every turn.If there are any folks from Poland on here please offer more information to me and correct me if I'm mistaken please. Btw.When someone makes a Polish joke around me I straighten them out with a History 101 lesson and where the Polish jokes REALLY came from.Today it's extremely rare to hear Polish jokes in America .Chicago has a huge Polish community.There may be some dumb ppl that arent Polish still making those tired jokes but screw them.In the 70s&80s it was the norm.
man my mom was POLISH IM 50 NOW AND IM JUST STARTING TO LOOK INTO MY ROOTS IM COMING TO POLAND NEXT SPRING YOU HAVE ANY PLACE THAT WOULD HELP ME LEARN A LITTLE MORE ABOUT HER ROOTS
Trevor, you should try BIGOS - real traditional Polish food, made of sour cabbage, with sausage / meat / mushroom - all depends on the region of the country ☺👌 You'd love it!
Delightful Travellers Szymon is right! Bigos is the best! I can tell you old joke about bigos (don’t take it serious): what is the difference between bigos and other meals? Bigos looks the same, in and out way!
Real polish food you get from grandma or mother! In restaurants (there are some good ones) you get middle quality food for high prices! The best food is at home, not somewhere on the street!
@@djjerome my mam worked many years in the kitchen she cooks everything polish food, indian curry, chinese noodles,wan tan soup and last time she did kim chi her self it was just perfect. cheese cake,chocolate man everything and we did sushi together (will never go to restaurant again) so easy so simple so delicious
@MMN in my home people cook good but they rather not prepare czernina (blood duck soup) or pierogi with kurki mushrooms ,I eat in plock and torun coz they have nice restaurant
That vodka is also called "nalewka" - "pour in" and is made by infusing fruits or herbs in pure alcohol for months. Then this alcohol gets diluted by adding water with sugar. And often bottles matures for the next few months.
Actually THAT particular vodka "Soplica" have nothing in common with infusing fruits. IT is just flavoured vodka. The most popular vodka which have been made with fruits actually is Lubelska.
excellent choice of food, that is exactly what I would recommend to anyone visiting poland, I am yet to see someone try our traditional sour pickles though :D
my spanish friends flew to Wrocław for long weekend , having had no knowledge of polish food , went crazy about food and can not praise enough :żurek , pierogis , sausages , golabki and pastries .Since then they regulars in Polish deli .
Nothing like traditional pierogi. I still have my grandmother's pierogi bowl. At holidays, we passed the bowl around and took 3 each time until we couldn't eat any more - my father always won on number eaten. Always put sour cream and butter on top. As one of my grandmother's friends said after a shot of Polish vodka - 'that'll put hair on your chest'. Poonchki (as we pronounced it) is the best dessert ever with a custard filling!
Polskie jedzenie jest najlepsze na świecie. Dlaczego? Bo Polacy pileęgnują tradycję naturalnego i pysznego jedzenia swoich przodków. Każdy kto się o tym przekona zawsze będzie tu wracał!
Pronunciation cheats: Multiple 'pączki' = punch key One 'pączek' = pun cheque Don't worry about not getting the ą sound right, many a native don't either ('włanczać światło')
You should go to Lodz on Piotrkowska Street, they sell fresh donuts, you can see for yourself how such a donut is made and fried, they sell it still hot.
oh my god guys you just make me so hungry! it's nothing better like get a grilled sausage with the mustard 😋🤣😂 well done you two all the best to you Polish from UK 🍻😁🍻😁
My family and I love Asian/Mediterranean food, but still love to devour our humble pierogies and preferred ones are ruskie with mint/cottage cheese/potatoes/caramelized onion filling and often with addition of friedbacon dumplings, occasionally in potatoes and flour dough (like Lithuanian Zeppelins) Either freshly boiled or if not fresh then pan fried. With sour cream.. my son loves sushi the most and pierogies as his second favourite dish...he is still in his early teens
It is but I recommend you smaller town like torun, sandomierz ,wroclaw ,solina , ojcowski Park when they serve you arch from river and mountanies like pieniny,wisła town czorsztyn , solina ,zakooane, szklarska poreba the best climate
@14:15 Haha, they have a zapiekanka named "Zemsta przedszkolanki" which means "Kindergarten Teacher's Revenge". I wonder what it is! "Wiejska" means country/farmer's style.
I'm in NZ but I keep getting recommended Polish stuff because of The Witcher, haha. I'm not complaining, this was super interesting!! That soup near the start especially looked delicious, makes me want to make soup for dinner tonight :) Thanks for the great video guys!
My favourite pierogi are filled with sour cabbage and wild mushrooms of course fried and the other ones are with blueberries and sweet cream. Another dish I recommend are zrazy zawijane which is thin beef rolled and filled with bacon together with either kopytka or pyzy. Of course there is sauce on top of it. Also try kartacze. For dessert a piece of tort orzechowy filled with coffee cream or napoleonka. Oh and don’t curse Poland after seeing results on your scale.
Fajnie się ogląda jak ktoś z Polski świat zwiedza, ale jak ktoś inny zwiedza Polskę to to jest takie dziwne bo sam w niej mieszkam😂😂 Polskie jedzenie najlepsze! Pozdrawiam. PS tak jestem Polakiem :')
I highly recommend you visiting lublin it's a bit smaller than Kraków but it's a beautiful city with really beautiful history and places. I'm from lublin and really can say that it's very pretty and amazing. Also the best time to come to lublin is summer.
Delightful Travellers omg Anna yes we will join you in a next door AIRBNB! We are working on 2020 adventures and Poland is a MUST!!! We didn’t have the vodka but the beer was INCREDIBLE! 😊
Pierogi is traditionally filled with a mixture of potatoes, FARMERS CHEESE (which is kinda like Ricotta, but not as sweet), bacon, and onions. Cottage chees is only used as a poor substitute in America. Depending on who you ask, some would even consider those to be "Ruskie Peirogi" (Russian). My other go-to favorite filling is stewed sauerkraut, onions, and mushrooms.
You both definitely need to try Smalec! It’s a lard with several different meats you can have put in - or in my case, the restaurant placed ground sausage in the middle. It’s a a serious side-dish or appetizer that is eaten on a slice of bread or toast. GOOD LUCK! It’s an absolute eye-opener when looking at a bowl of Crisco with meat in the middle...really, it reminded me and looked EXACTLY like that jar under the sink you use for bacon grease.

You should come to Warmian-Mazurian district some other time! you have to! Olsztyn and it's area are just GREAT! (specially during the summer). We call it "the valley of thousand lakes" in Poland. So, as you can imagine, there is tons of lakes and just.. nature around here. Thanks for visiting Kraków!
Just found your channel and subscribed! Great video, we definitely need to go back and watch more. We are from Canada as well :) Our next Europe adventure will definitely be eastern Europe so great watching this. Yummy mulled wine! Love the huge tree and surprised there was no snow.
Woohoo... welcome aboard and hello fellow Canadians at that. 🤗 Eastern Europe is so great! When's the big adventure happening? You'll love it! - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers Probably not for a year. Would be great to travel more but it's just a dream so far. We are liking your videos lots, watched a few tonight. Always looking for great travel vlogs to fill up our RUclips 'addiction'
I also regret of lacking snow in Poland nowadays. It used to be snow since November. When you will go to eastern Europe don't forget to visit Poland for few days. All the best and happy new year.
Eh?! The problem is that Trevor and Anna have never been to Eastern Europe. When I was in Canada, I explained that I do not know Russian and such things. Canadians explained to me every time that they are not American. I honestly thought I was in the USA. Only Quebec was very different than stereotypical America.Eastern Europe is only Russia, Ukraine and Belarus (sometimes Moldova is also included) . These three countries cover exactly half of the continent. You will see the difference in religion, alphabet, time zone, lack of oligarchs and dictators, etc. ruclips.net/video/Zi2WiAz1MTQ/видео.html Greetings from Central Europe.
Whatever you do is don't call Poland eastern Europe. Geographically Poland is located in Central Europe, but people say eastern because it used to be part of the Eastern bloc. But like I said always call Poland Central Europe or you will offend the Polish people, they can't stand being called Eastern Europe. It's funny Finland is North East of Poland but people consider Finland as part of western Europe, but Poland that's west of Finland is called Eastern Europe.

@MMN in my home people cook good but they rather not prepare czernina (blood duck soup) or pierogi with kurki mushrooms ,I eat in plock and torun coz they have nice restaurant
Seriously drooling right now. We hope to get out to Poland next year and try some ❤️
Oh you guys have to visit just for the food alone. Sorry for making you drool 🤤🤣 - Trevor
Hey im from poland food here is very good! I wrte eanglish so you could understand i hope you enhoy your stay
The filling in Paczki you had at the beginning of the video was also made out of rose. It's quite common to see this taste here :)
Yeah! Paczki with rose filling are the best
That little paczki was the best. What a treat that is. Yum! - Anna
Rose fruit.
The filling is rosehip preserve
Kraków is very expensive. 1 dolar for donut is high price, but yes we can do donats very good.
That vodka is also called "nalewka" - "pour in" and is made by infusing fruits or herbs in pure alcohol for months. Then this alcohol gets diluted by adding water with sugar. And often bottles matures for the next few months.
nobody cares how it's called. you go to china you also want to know how the beverage is called?
i really doubt they prepare it half a year. i'd bet a few weeks
@@creekalmighty Depends which one really. Also, it's just a "fun fact". And yeah, in China I will be curious how beverage is called.
@@The0Stroy cool
Actually THAT particular vodka "Soplica" have nothing in common with infusing fruits. IT is just flavoured vodka.
The most popular vodka which have been made with fruits actually is Lubelska.

Thank you for that guys Im sanding you Best hugs from Warsaw ❤
It’s cool seeing foreigners being so excited about your motherland food which you eat on a daily basis :)
Really enjoyed your Polish Christmas videos - so well done! This has made us want to go to Poland! - Coreen
awesome! thank you both very much! im very hungry now....
excellent choice of food, that is exactly what I would recommend to anyone visiting poland, I am yet to see someone try our traditional sour pickles though :D
Went to krakow from London one time and i am absolutely amazed by this city will be back next time
I live in the UK but I’m actually Polish! I love when people try food from my country!
I love dill. I put it on many things.
I would love to go to Poland and other places.
Have fun and success always.
Jezus, ale bym zjadła teraz pączka
my spanish friends flew to Wrocław for long weekend , having had no knowledge of polish food , went crazy about food and can not praise enough :żurek , pierogis , sausages , golabki and pastries .Since then they regulars in Polish deli .
Actually eating backed sausage while holding with with a bread slice is vital part of my childhood/teen/uni/life in general years 😀
So happy to see you guys like our food. Wish i could go back there!
Oil on pierogi is from caramelized onions being on a pan
Siedzę w pracy, zaraz wychodzę do domu, jestem głodny i jeszcze to :D...Ślinotok jak u wściekłego psa :D
Omg I love how he says " kabasia"
Nothing like traditional pierogi. I still have my grandmother's pierogi bowl. At holidays, we passed the bowl around and took 3 each time until we couldn't eat any more - my father always won on number eaten. Always put sour cream and butter on top. As one of my grandmother's friends said after a shot of Polish vodka - 'that'll put hair on your chest'. Poonchki (as we pronounced it) is the best dessert ever with a custard filling!
Feel free to leave your grandmother's recipe here 😉 We've heard that phrase before as well. - Trevor
i can literally smell this sausage though the monitor. pls mercy. greeting from Poland
haha sorry about the smell ;)
Thanks for nice video guys 👍. Na zdrowie! 😊
Rose filling in pączek and rose vodka is made from wild rose fruit, not from flower. In Poland is a lot of wild rose, it grows literally everywhere
You can buy rose jam made from flower but it's rather expensive comparing to wild rose fruit jam.
Great video! It didn't LOOK as cold as the last video. Man how I wanted those flavored vodkas!!!!!
Steve it wasn't as cold... good catch. The vodka was so much better than we thought it would be. All those flavours really helped 🤗 - Anna
Polskie jedzenie jest najlepsze
100%! We are absolutely hooked on Pierogi now - Anna
Especially the Pizza! lol
Dziewczyny
@@Tameemterminator You eat children?
Jim Fortune means girls in polish you moron
I like way how you guys just try new things. I can see that you're guys open on new flavors what is amazing.
Thanks! Trying new things (food specifically) is one of our favourite things about travelling - Anna
Glad you guys enjoyed visit in my city and regions where I grew up :)
Polskie jedzenie jest najlepsze na świecie. Dlaczego? Bo Polacy pileęgnują tradycję naturalnego i pysznego jedzenia swoich przodków. Każdy kto się o tym przekona zawsze będzie tu wracał!
U say „sfoyska” (i quess🤔😁) , intresting video and come to Torun next time and try some pierniki 😁
Kabasza. I aprreaciate so much ❤️ kielbasa zawsze dobrA. Good kabasza
Drooling here big time! You guys got me hungry.
Our jobs here are done 😉 - Anna
Any food video that stats with donuts is bound to be a great one, and this certainly was. Love your channel guys.
Angie! Merry Christmas. Thanks for the kind words... less donuts in January promise hehe 🏃🏻♀️ - Anna
i love the way you call polish food :) it's completly diffrent words but it's fuuny to hear that :)
Pronunciation cheats:
Multiple 'pączki' = punch key
One 'pączek' = pun cheque
Don't worry about not getting the ą sound right, many a native don't either ('włanczać światło')
Ohhh so smart. LOL
😂
Poonch key if your from MI 🤣
You got ą ę ś ć many others I left Poland when I was 11 I can still speak write and read really good. Polish language one of the hardest
It's always funny to see foreigners trying REAL sausage for the first time, and they are like 'Wow, now every other one is so blend' ;)
You should go to Lodz on Piotrkowska Street, they sell fresh donuts, you can see for yourself how such a donut is made and fried, they sell it still hot.
oh my god guys you just make me so hungry!
it's nothing better like get a grilled sausage with the mustard 😋🤣😂
well done you two
all the best to you
Polish from UK 🍻😁🍻😁
If you come in summer go to Malbork in Poland and visit the castle there are a lot of shops and cool places for Pictures.
My family and I love Asian/Mediterranean food, but still love to devour our humble pierogies and preferred ones are ruskie with mint/cottage cheese/potatoes/caramelized onion filling and often with addition of friedbacon dumplings, occasionally in potatoes and flour dough (like Lithuanian Zeppelins) Either freshly boiled or if not fresh then pan fried. With sour cream.. my son loves sushi the most and pierogies as his second favourite dish...he is still in his early teens
Cały czas tylko tak kapusta, kiełbasa i pierogi ,kuchnia staropolska i regionalna to jest dopiero moc
Swieta racja!
We called this donuts "Pączki" i love them with rose inside :) Greatings from Kraków ! :)
Poland look so cool and the food looks good, bye from kosovo 🇽🇰 republic 😀
It is but I recommend you smaller town like torun, sandomierz ,wroclaw ,solina , ojcowski Park when they serve you arch from river and mountanies like pieniny,wisła town czorsztyn , solina ,zakooane, szklarska poreba the best climate
Next time you totally should try pierogi with cabbage and mushrooms ;)
Yeah
I love polish food. We still do takeout at Perogi Grill during covid
I am glad that you liked our Polish food.
Poland the best food and drink in whole world.. happy thats you like it guys..:)
mr Zagłoba :) Good food - Polish food
@14:15 Haha, they have a zapiekanka named "Zemsta przedszkolanki" which means "Kindergarten Teacher's Revenge". I wonder what it is!
"Wiejska" means country/farmer's style.
I'm in NZ but I keep getting recommended Polish stuff because of The Witcher, haha. I'm not complaining, this was super interesting!! That soup near the start especially looked delicious, makes me want to make soup for dinner tonight :) Thanks for the great video guys!
Great video guys! Made me miss home though...
Traditional polish food is delicious,I am from Poland but I live in UK greetings
Don't worry. Even if you eat differently than we do, if you like your food - you eat it right.
Glad you liked the food cause it is really yummy.
Hope you come back to Poland when it gets warmer. Cheers.
We'll always come back to Poland Eddie. Summer sounds like a great time to visit! - Trevor
You are so lovely! The donut was actually with rose!
Thanks so much! - Anna
Glad u liked our cuisine :)
In Poland we don't say donut, we say 'pączek' and this is beautiful
Najlepsze pączki tylko w Polsce 🥰
Cabassa ( kiełbasa ) 😅 Kabasza jest najlepsza z musztardą 😊
Lub z chrzanem
I z chlebkiem
@@RafvanZi z chrzanem to tylko biała 😉
I love Polish kitchen menu.
Great vídeo.👍👊
The traditional donut you’ve had has a rose jam filling...❤️
I'm loving the vibe of that Jewish neighbourhood 😀
We had our first pierogi in Canada last year. So good!
My favourite pierogi are filled with sour cabbage and wild mushrooms of course fried and the other ones are with blueberries and sweet cream.
Another dish I recommend are zrazy zawijane which is thin beef rolled and filled with bacon together with either kopytka or pyzy. Of course there is sauce on top of it.
Also try kartacze.
For dessert a piece of tort orzechowy filled with coffee cream or napoleonka.
Oh and don’t curse Poland after seeing results on your scale.
Fajnie się ogląda jak ktoś z Polski świat zwiedza, ale jak ktoś inny zwiedza Polskę to to jest takie dziwne bo sam w niej mieszkam😂😂 Polskie jedzenie najlepsze! Pozdrawiam.
PS tak jestem Polakiem :')
I highly recommend you visiting lublin it's a bit smaller than Kraków but it's a beautiful city with really beautiful history and places. I'm from lublin and really can say that it's very pretty and amazing. Also the best time to come to lublin is summer.
Next time! We've definitely heard about that place - Trevor
Ahh I'm so proud of my country UwU
Try the Dumpling soup. My Mom made this all the time.
It’s out of this world. The stuffed cabbage and chrusciki
Is a must.
The oil on the pierogi (around 7:15) is probably oil or butter coming from the onions that are on top of the pierogi ;-).
You have to try Łącka Śliwowica. This vodka is made from plums and is only 70% strong.
Ohhh u havent even scratch the surface :D There is much much more to try in Poland :) Someone, should take u on a proper polish food tour :D
Oh we know and remember we can't eat everything in one day. We ate lots of Polish food off camera - Anna
It all looks yummy!! You guys are killing us! We are counting the days until we return to Poland! Happy New Year!
2020 maybe guys? We could live in Krakow for a month plus honestly. So many food options! - Anna
Delightful Travellers omg Anna yes we will join you in a next door AIRBNB! We are working on 2020 adventures and Poland is a MUST!!! We didn’t have the vodka but the beer was INCREDIBLE! 😊
Mouth watering 😋
Pierogi is traditionally filled with a mixture of potatoes, FARMERS CHEESE (which is kinda like Ricotta, but not as sweet), bacon, and onions. Cottage chees is only used as a poor substitute in America. Depending on who you ask, some would even consider those to be "Ruskie Peirogi" (Russian). My other go-to favorite filling is stewed sauerkraut, onions, and mushrooms.
if you would like to try a very traditional Polish dish, I recommend trying the dish called "Bigos"
Dobre pączki .
Fajny film
food is food regardless where you are from , but being Polish i find it special .... thank`s and God love :)
Nice country i love this country.from srilanka...
You both definitely need to try Smalec! It’s a lard with several different meats you can have put in - or in my case, the restaurant placed ground sausage in the middle. It’s a a serious side-dish or appetizer that is eaten on a slice of bread or toast. GOOD LUCK! It’s an absolute eye-opener when looking at a bowl of Crisco with meat in the middle...really, it reminded me and looked EXACTLY like that jar under the sink you use for bacon grease.
Yummy yum - that's all I'm gonna say :) You should come to the Silesian region next time to try our local dishes as well!
Thanks for the tip! We'll look that region up :) - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers Sure! The capital of Silesia - Katowice - is 80 km away from Kraków.
Poleciłabym Wam barszczyk z uszkami :)

You should come to Warmian-Mazurian district some other time! you have to! Olsztyn and it's area are just GREAT! (specially during the summer). We call it "the valley of thousand lakes" in Poland. So, as you can imagine, there is tons of lakes and just.. nature around here. Thanks for visiting Kraków!
Thanks for the tip! We'll look that place up for sure - Trevor
Pączek is pronounced like " poncheck"
Just found your channel and subscribed! Great video, we definitely need to go back and watch more. We are from Canada as well :) Our next Europe adventure will definitely be eastern Europe so great watching this. Yummy mulled wine! Love the huge tree and surprised there was no snow.
Woohoo... welcome aboard and hello fellow Canadians at that. 🤗 Eastern Europe is so great! When's the big adventure happening? You'll love it! - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers Probably not for a year. Would be great to travel more but it's just a dream so far. We are liking your videos lots, watched a few tonight. Always looking for great travel vlogs to fill up our RUclips 'addiction'
I also regret of lacking snow in Poland nowadays. It used to be snow since November. When you will go to eastern Europe don't forget to visit Poland for few days. All the best and happy new year.
Eh?! The problem is that Trevor and Anna have never been to Eastern Europe.
When I was in Canada, I explained that I do not know Russian and such things. Canadians explained to me every time that they are not American. I honestly thought I was in the USA. Only Quebec was very different than stereotypical America.Eastern Europe is only Russia, Ukraine and Belarus (sometimes Moldova is also included) . These three countries cover exactly half of the continent.
You will see the difference in religion, alphabet, time zone, lack of oligarchs and dictators, etc.

Greetings from Central Europe.
Whatever you do is don't call Poland eastern Europe. Geographically Poland is located in Central Europe, but people say eastern because it used to be part of the Eastern bloc. But like I said always call Poland Central Europe or you will offend the Polish people, they can't stand being called Eastern Europe. It's funny Finland is North East of Poland but people consider Finland as part of western Europe, but Poland that's west of Finland is called Eastern Europe.
