We're absolutely in love with Polish food, so we wanted to make sure that we get the chance to try as many dishes as possible. Hence, we made two Polish food tour videos. This week we're in Krakow and next week we'll be in Warsaw trying all sorts of Polish delicacies. Let us know if we missed anything but also make sure you don't miss our next videos in Poland, because we always try new delicious things in all of our videos, so there is a lot more to come! What is your favorite Polish food? Let us know in the comments! Thanks for watching as always! 😊- Brandon & Anja
I’ve always wanted to visit Poland I heard so many good things about the People and The Culture, and thanks to your Video I made ma mind. You guys are the Best. Much Love from Toronto 🇨🇦✌🏻
Think I'd prefer the open sandwich with pickles, love pickles. Would love the Zurek soup. They make another dill pickle soup, lots more pickle. Groats is a general term for grains. Looks like you had barley. Looked good and the salads were a nice addition. I like barley and only have it in beef and barley soup. Might have to look into this. Hi from chilly Oregon US.
Those zapiekanka were amazing. The pickles were a great addition. We had two more types a day or two later- one with plums and fried onions. I think that was our favorite. Zurek was great! They love their soups in Poland. We actually have two soups in the next video. One warm, and a pretty unique cold soup. Yeah, we were confused about the terminology! They were super delicious, whatever they were. Definitely worth looking into. 👌
@@wherearewe-yt Great you got to try more zapiekanka varieties. Groats can be anything, which makes it confusing. Keith Floyd (not to be confused with Pink Floyd) was up in the Midlands of UK. Had a local lady make a dish of groats, onion and pork. Ends up the groats in question were millet seed. He made a joke about having to go to his local birdseed store to get them where he lived. Years before people were eating millet.
Finally my favourite, classic version of zapiekanka with fresh chive! Żurek should be more thick, and less transparent, more concentrate, is too much water-ish, in Warsaw, try żurek in Future & Wine Restaurant! Pierogi, the most popular one are ruskie (potato, white cheese and onion) meat, cabbage and mushrooms. From sweet, most popular are white cheese, blueberries, strawberries, plums. I prefer sour one, cooked, and always go with classics. Kasza needs to have garavy in my opinion, so you choose less tasty position, Indeed as Polish I know kasza with plums from Christmas traditions in Świetokrzyskie area, but I always dislike it, and it was Christmas torture. 🤣 Kasza with mushrooms, meat, gravy is very tasty though *(and beetroot!). Is not szarlotka, is jabłecznik, also apple pie, but different textures, I believe anywhere you go in Poland, you will get different variation of apple pie, we have great apples, is our national fruit, same berry fruits, but you are out of season, you should visit Poland again in summer! Now we have season for apples, and mushrooms, so enjoy!😉
I noticed on the photos that I saw of Żurek, that it looked a lot more thick! We will happily try it again when we come back to Poland, and see if we can find one like this..haha. We haven't had a pierogi we didn't like, but I do think the classics tend to me the best! With mushrooms, meat or cabbage. All so good! We actually quite liked the Kasza as it was. It was very simple this way, and tasted quite hearty and healthy But now we're intrigued! With gravy sounds very interesting! You're actually the second person to say that the pie was not szarlotka...haha. But we are just taking the name from the menu. On the menu, it was labeled as, "szarlotka z lodami". When I look at photos, what he has looks like a mix between the two desserts you mentioned! Whatever it was, it was amazing!
@@wherearewe-yt In High Silesia voivodeship, you will get more essential, called żur, but good żur-ek you need to search in typical Polish Restaurants with good opinions from locals, tourists are more tolerant. And if there will be options to try żur or żurek served in bread, try one! 😉
Nasza gryczana jest bardzo zdrowa, w domu tradycyjnie gotowana jest a właściwie prażona z boczkiem i cebulka, bardzo lubię jest sycące danie i zdrowe, mało glutenu
We loved it! It was actually one of out favorite things that we tried. We had been to Poland a few times before, but had never tried it previously. It was delicious with the bacon and prunes. It also felt very healthy!
Because our ketchups are seasoned differently, foreign ketchups have a noticeable aftertaste of vinegar, which I don't like. Zapiekanka is our fast food :D
I don't think we had any potato pancakes on this trip, but do have a LOT more food coming in our other videos! There were must too many good things to try. 🤤
I love pierogi with white cabbage and mushrooms (it's not a very well known version in Poland), and ruskie :) i don't like sweet versions. In Gdansk I ate also very good with Tofu, and baked. You should visit Gdansk and eat in Mandu.
Anja has been to Gdansk before, and she loved it. I'd like to visit some time! We actually have some baked pierogi in our upcoming Wroclaw video. They're some of our favorites. Especially since we order them with mushroom sauce. So good!
That's one of our favorites as well. We love ordering a side of mushroom sauce with our Pierogi. We actually do that in an upcoming video! And is that a Witcher display picture I see?! Haha.
@@wherearewe-yt Yea, I like Mr Sapkowski books about witcher and games love too. The netflix series is bad so I watched first season and half second. I'm looking forward for Your next video. Best regards.
Agreed! I'm a big fan of the books, and the games. The show started off (somewhat) promising, and then immediately ruined everything. I haven't finished it either. Hahaha. Thanks for watching! We still have four more coming from Poland.
To ciasto z jabłkami tradycyjnie nazywa się "Jabłecznik" Pozdrawiam i życzę smacznego 👋 Spróbujcie zupę z kaczej krwi zwanej " Czarnina" lub "Czernina" jest naprawdę pyszna i nie smakuje jak krew ma mnóstwo dodatków jak śliwki suszone cz wiśnie z octu, ja pochodzę z regionu gdzie ta zupa jest do dzisiaj robiona przy ważnych świętach. Zupa ta pochodzi zaczunając od Torunia a kończąc na wschodzie w Działdowie wąskim pasem na północ i południe. W Warszawie można ją spotkać ale trzeba dobrze poszukać. W miejscu tradycyjnego występowania tej zupy nazywa się "Czarnina" a w innych "Czernina" polecam naprawdę warto spróbować😋
That sounds super unique! We would have loved to try that in our Warsaw video. We always try to find dishes that are a bit more "unusual" that only locals know about. That would have been PERFECT. We actually lived in South East Asia for two years, so we've had plenty of blood dishes before. Duck blood soup is pretty common in Vietnam! That sounds like a pretty delicious preparation.
@@wherearewe-yt needs and want's are subjective but i have to store a few of you guy's vids up to binge when i am rained off work, i like to get really really hungry and then drive myself in to an almost torturous watch, its like being waterboarded with delicious food i can't eat, yes it's a strange angle but i love it
We've been told this version looked quite light in comparison to other versions. We will need to try it again! Maybe we can try the no potato version next time.
I actually said, "I've heard other people call it a Polish pizza", followed by saying, "but it is it's own thing, it's very unique". Which means I said that it is not like a pizza.
Unfrtunetly the food with buckwheat is slowly dying in Poland !Is much more popular in Ukraine and Rusia ! In old days was popular in pore families as was cheep healthy and you not feel hungry 😀
@EA00000 That's unfortunate because it's really delicious! It was one of our favorite things that we tried. As you said, healthy and filling. We saw it at the grocery store as well. Next time we will buy some and try it! Much cheaper than in a restaurant. 😁
Really?? So the groats inside a cabbage roll? That sounds amazing. We'd love to try that. Cabbage rolls are one of our favorite dishes. Maybe we've had it that way in the past, and just never noticed. 😅
Nieprawda, krakowskie gołąbki zawsze są z kaszą gryczaną lub jęczmienną.Krakòw ma różne typy kaszy, nadziewamy kurczaki kaszą i wàtròbkà. Trzeba znaleźć krakowską restaurację np.pl.Wolnica, a nie pod turystów.

really like the polish sausages. So curious about that soup now though. I must try to find it somewhere.
It's so good! Poland has a lot of great soups, but I think that was our favorite.
You need to try Kapuśniak soup!
We love cabbage, so that sounds really good as well!
I’ve always wanted to visit Poland I heard so many good things about the People and The Culture, and thanks to your Video I made ma mind.
You guys are the Best.
Much Love from Toronto 🇨🇦✌🏻
We love visiting Poland. Every single city we have visited has been great. It's absolutely worth checking out!
Thanks for watching. 😃
Great food tour. Solidly in your niche and doing it fantastic!!!
Thanks, guys! 🍻
Żurek is king of soups.
We tried three different soups while in Poland, and Zurek was our favorite for sure (though they were all really good).
Think I'd prefer the open sandwich with pickles, love pickles. Would love the Zurek soup. They make another dill pickle soup, lots more pickle. Groats is a general term for grains.

to była kasza gryczana
Nie jęczmień. Gryka.
the white stuff in the salad with raisins is celeriac
Yeah, we said that a bit after we tried it. Couldn't put my finger on it at first! It's not something we eat often, but it was delicious.
Great to see you here! ❤
Thank you! We were so happy to be back in Poland after so many years.
@@wherearewe-yt So nice! Waiting for the next films! 😊

I love poland
We do, too! It's always one of our favorite countries in Europe to visit.

pierogi z jagodami/ na słodko/- blueberry dumplings
We had some of those before when we first visit Poland. This time we had some, but only from the grocery store...haha. They were still good!
I z jabłkami...
I don't think we've ever had with apples before, but that sounds really good.
Mega jedzenie
It was all so good! We love Polish food.
Because our ketchups are seasoned differently, foreign ketchups have a noticeable aftertaste of vinegar, which I don't like. Zapiekanka is our fast food :D
Ooooh, gotcha!
We actually had Zapiekanka three times on this one trip to Poland..😂
We love it so much.
No Placki ziemniacane or Latkes? :( and you guys made me want to go to Poland now lol
I don't think we had any potato pancakes on this trip, but do have a LOT more food coming in our other videos! There were must too many good things to try. 🤤
@wherearewe-yt im. Going to love watching your channel get huge and expand!
Let's hope so!

That was sooooo many chives lol
Hahaha. It was, but honestly, it doesn't taste as strong as you'd imagine. 😆
@@wherearewe-yt well, then I'd pass because i LOVE chives lol
best kind of pierogi are my moms christmas version - just ruskie with cracklings and sauerkraut inside
That sounds delicious. 👌
Can't say we've ever had crackling in a pierogi, but now we want to try!
Endzior can u translate like end-zone
after party near 4 am zapiekanki are the best
kasza in german means buchweizen
The second time we had zapiekanka, it was super late at night. Perfect late night food after a bit too much vodka. 😎
I like all kinds pierogi. The best for me are with cabbage and mushrooms
That's one of our favorites as well. We love ordering a side of mushroom sauce with our Pierogi. We actually do that in an upcoming video!

No to ketchup! Lol
It's so good!
Żurek z ziemniakami ?
Yes! Are potatoes not a common ingredient?
@@wherearewe-yt i prefer without and version with bread :)
Ja robię z ziemniakami podsmażonymi wcześniej na patelni plus dużo innych warzyw też.
We've been told this version looked quite light in comparison to other versions. We will need to try it again! Maybe we can try the no potato version next time.
That sounds amazing.
Zapiekanka tylko ze Skawiny od Adamusa
We will have to try that spot next time! 😃
Tourists! A zapiekanka is not a pizza! Don't compare a zapiekanka to a pizza. Please.These are two completely different dishes.
I actually said, "I've heard other people call it a Polish pizza", followed by saying, "but it is it's own thing, it's very unique". Which means I said that it is not like a pizza.
Nobody has ever called it a Polish pizza. Its always been called a sandwich.
By tourists in other videos- not locals.
Unfrtunetly the food with buckwheat is slowly dying in Poland !Is much more popular in Ukraine and Rusia ! In old days was popular in pore families as was cheep healthy and you not feel hungry 😀
@EA00000 That's unfortunate because it's really delicious! It was one of our favorite things that we tried. As you said, healthy and filling.
We saw it at the grocery store as well. Next time we will buy some and try it! Much cheaper than in a restaurant. 😁
Jeśli chodzi o pierogi najlepiej lubię z ziemniakami lub miesem jeśli chodzi o kaszę tak jemy lecz w gołąbkach nigdy nie podana sama na talerzu
Really?? So the groats inside a cabbage roll? That sounds amazing. We'd love to try that. Cabbage rolls are one of our favorite dishes.
