Obwarzanek krakowski is a 14th century pastry. The dough is steamed first, then baked. Bagels also come from Krakow. Krakow Jews began to bake them in the 17th century. It was a gift for a woman after a successful birth. Emigrants brought bagels to the US in the late 19th century. Today they are a symbol of NY or Toronto.

The most traditional Paczki are filled with Rose jam also the difference between American donuts and Polish is that Polish is yeast dough vs baking powder or baking soda.

Imagine there are people who come to visit Poland and all they eat is macdonalds and pizza... If you feel couragous you can try czernina (black soup from duck blood) or flaki (really good stuff), if you don`t want to be adventurous you can go for kaszanka, śledź (herring) or tatar (raw beef with some stuff, really exquisite) and of course most of Polish food is comfort food: bigos, gołąbki, schabowe, mielone, żurek, grochówka, golonka. Try also potato pancakes with goulash, it`s next level. POLISH FOOD IS AWESOME!

Whenever you go to dobra paczkarnia, you have to wait for the freshly baked ones. they will melt in your mouth.

Your street food tour was so much fun♡Thank you for visiting Poland

Don't know where you get your info from but the most traditional Pączki are with a rose jam filling. Owarzanek is the medieval ancestor of present day bagles. Jewish emigrants from Poland modified and popularized the recipe.

Nicely done yes polish food is very filling you won't feel hungry after these street foods. The milk bar is a must I've eaten alot in Poland and the milk bars are something you wouldn't forget cooked by polish ladies hand made with love . My encouragement is keep away from the fast foods only because you miss out on the real essence of polish cuisine you will learn so much more from the food where it came from how it was produced so rich in historical value

Pączki (also pierogi) is already plural. Singular is pączek

Tradycyjne pączki są napełniane dżemem różanym (osobiście nie przepadam). Placki ziemniaczane i bigos, to dla mnie najlepsze jedzenie na świecie. w Polsce trwa bitwa placki " z cukrem czy na słono" ;-).

[ pontchky ] I think that's the best way of english pronaunciation !

I am going Kraków next week😍😍

Mmm 😋

yum! delicious

Obwarzanek is great with houmus or goat cheese. Highly recommend as a snack on the go!

Nice to see you enjoy our food! Greetings from Poland

Stuffed cabbage should be on your menu...Southern Poland serves them with tomato sauce while North East makes them with mushroom sauce...

I’m very honored to be here🎉

Oryginally I'm from Poland and yes I love polish food 😋

The traditional filling of polish donuts is rose jam "konfitura" - some kind of sweet preserve made of rose petals, not any "plump sauce". Plum jam called "powidla" (similar to a kind of sweet sauce with pieces of fruit) is added to bigos - polish sauerkraut and meat dish.

Obwarzanek is actually the OG bagel, it was brought to US by Cracovian Jews when they had to migrate for obvious reasons and evolved into the sandwich roll type thing You make today.

I like how Max takes little lady bites instead of just diving right in...

yummi

If you ever visit Szczecin you need to try our local street foods typical for out city: - Paszteciki. Basically deep fried dough sticks with fillings (usually 3 choices: meat, cheese+mushrooms, pickled cabbage+mushrtooms) served with a cup of barszczyk (the clear type to drink), though if you're not up for barszczyk then tourists often just get a coca cola instead. But for the real traditional experience barszczyk is the way to go. There's an entire history behind this dish how during communist times a prototype was invented for the USSR army to make food rations, but then was decomissioned quickly and one guy brought it to Szczecin, modified it to be able to be suitable for street food settings, and it just caught on and became a part of the local culture forever. Somehow it never catches on outside our city whenever someone tries, not sure why since everyone visiting Szczecin always loves it. - tosty szczecinskie. Szczecinian toasties. Basically a zapiekanka, but a closed sandwich instead of an open one, and pressed flat on a panini grill, toasted that way. Usual toppings (or rather, fillings in this case) are cheese+ham, cheese+mushrooms or cheese+ham+mushrooms - and sauces of course whether you like ketchup or mustard or mayo or mixes or whatever - frytburger/frytkebs. So in Poland you must have noticed that kebabs are sold in those toasted triangular buns that make a bowl of sorts, and the more domestic burger places use the same type of bun for burgers (as opposed to American franchises or gourmet burger places emulating American styles) and also give you a load of a coleslaw in there and so on, basically the same as with kebabs but the meat is a burger patty instead. So in Szczecin we have kinda done away with the coleslaw and put fries in there instead lol and hence frytkebs or frytburger - frytki means fries so frytki+kebab, frytki+hamburger lol and we do the same also with wraps besides the buns as well if you prefer a wrap. With frytkebs/frytburger there is a stereotype that if someone from Szczecin wants to order one in another city, the staff is either confused by the concept of putting potato fries into the bun instead of coleslaw and doesn't know how to bill that, or someone from the till yells to the people in the kitchen that "Szczecin przyszedl!" lol a Szczecin has come. Always one or the other, depending on whether they have experience with people from Szczecin, who apparently are the only ones in the country to ever want to order something like that lol Of course there is much more to it all than just that but these 3 things are the most famous/stereotypical/standing out.

Usmiech Pani w Paczkarni, to prawdziwa reklama Krakowa ;P

Great vlog! I'm glad you liked our food My favorite one is definitely placki ziemniaczane 😊

Its cool

Kuchnia polska jest najlepsza na świecie. Musiałbyś przyjechać na rok,żeby poznać choć część naszych smaków. Poznałeś wyłącznie odrobinę najprostszych potraw. Nawet nie umoczyłeś czubka języka 😁

I've eaten zapiekankas all my childhood and I just recently learned that this is an original polish recipe. It was concieved in the 70s as answer to western fast food (70s are known as "Gierek's decade, named after Polish United Workers Party chairman Edward Gierek, who served between 1970 and 1980. He had a plan to make Poland a wealthier country: taking loans from the west, selling our products and repaying the loans with these money. Soon there were many apartment buildings built (or "commie blocks"), there were more western things on the streets (we finally had Coca-Cola). Unfortunately his plan didn't work out andwe got left with debt, which we ended repaying in 2012, so almost 3 decades after Gierek was deposed. Also, placki ziemiaczane are originally Jewish food. There were many Jews living in Poland before WWII, so their cusine got mixed with Polish. To this day Jews eat "latkes", which are potato pancakes with sour cream or jam on top.

Zapiekanka Paradise I agree ❤

Hey guys! Wonderful to see more travellers in Poland! Hopefully your tour doesn't end just on Kraków, as there's plenty more to see (personal recommendations based on living: Wrocław and Poznań) Also: 0:55 - don't know where did you get the plum filling from; I feel like a lot of people would say 'rose petal' would be the go-to pączki flavour 3:50 - they definitely should look like bagels, considering bagels do originate from Kraków's Jewish Quarter from the 1600s! :D

I've just eaten but the placki and zapiekanka made me a little hungry. Also, don't feel bad about your pronunciation, Polish is so difficult, even for Poles. We truly appreciate every foreigner who tries to say anything in Polish.

I'm so happy seeing U enjoying a polish food in Krakow. Greetings from Co.Wexford.🍀☘️

Chives, Tak? Hope you enjoined the "żabiekanka" 🐸

never heard such a funny pronunciations of polish dishes :)

in Poland we have many more interesting dishes that you haven't tried yet, such as; Pork knuckle, Bigos, Żurek - which is often served at Easter, also known under another name as Święconka,and Czernina - a duck blood soup, properly seasoned, in the mountains Kwaśnica is often served again

I ❤ Poland🇵🇱

I'm in Ghana just love this country.. Iv heard of thier kindness n nice food Wish I can get an invitation 1day to visit that lovely country

❤

It's more like 'pawnch-', not 'poonch-' :D Damn, I got hungry...

Waoooo❤❤❤

You ate some good stuff but you've missed so many good things! 😆I didn't read all the comments so IDK if others already recommended those but for the next time you visit Kraków: 1. "Maczanka po Krakowsku" by Andrus Food Truck (maczać = to soak; prepared for over 48 hours slowly cooked pulled-pork kind of sandwich soaked with gravy, many toppings) 2. "Krakowski Kumpir" (kumpir is a giant baked potato with butter, some years they cheat and "build" it out of 2-4 smaller potatoes but it's still awesomely tasty, many toppings to choose from) 3. żurek w chlebie (in many restaurants; sour rye soup with sausage, boczek/bacon, eggs and other goodies served in crusty bread - yes, you can eat the bowl) 4. Golonkarnia (golonka = a ham hock but don't be afraid, it's mostly meat, granted, with outer fat baked until crunchy - great with beer, prepared in many ways including honey glazed) 5. Argasińscy ice cream shop at Jana street (traditional, handmade, one of the best you'll ever taste and sold by weight so you can order a little bit of every flavour, literally) Prices range from low to mid but all of those are big portions so go hungry or split the meal! Have fun ❤

6:08 - with szczypiorek :P

I'm enjoying your videos on Krakow. My dad's side of the family was all from Poland. Some of the foods really take me back to my childhood, visiting my grandparents. You've certainly made me want to visit. Thanks.

The most traditional pączki are with rose jam

Loving the vlogs Max….So good and detailed your videos….I’m going to krakow in mid July from Liverpool

Super film, dobrze jest widzieć że polubiłeś Polskę i odkrywasz wspaniałą polską kuchnię. Ale by poznać lepiej ją musiałbyś odwiedzić każdy region Polski, gdyż w każdym z nich są inne tradycje kulinarne. Miłego udanego weekendu oraz wspaniałego odkrywanie Polski i polskiej kuchni. 😊😊😊😊😊

Enjoyed the video! Did each of you have a favorite of the day?

The most popular and traditional polish donuts (pączki) are with rose jam inside. The traditional classic zapiekanka is only with mushrooms, onion, cheese and ketchup. Of course, they are also good with various additions, but it is worth trying the classic one first.

Polecam Kiełbaski z Niebieskiej Nysy od 21.00 Kraków

Milk Bar sounds like Ikea caefeteria but more authentic 😂😂 poland on my list🎉🎉

Thank you

Que rico pankiz se ven deliciosos 😊

😊

The funny and a magic thing about our donuts is, no matter with way you start bite, the jam is always from other side. If you manage to bite the donut from the side with the filling, you should play the lottery.

Next time you visit - go to Wawrzyńca street in the Kazimierz Jewish district and look for the "Andrus" food truck. They have Maczanka there. Maczanka is Krakow-specific, as far as I know. What you basically get is a pulled pork sandwich with a multitude of toppings to choose from. The bun is crispy and the meat is really juicy and well seasoned. I'm a local and I really love it.

The warst place to have paczki on Floriańska str.Baravo !

Cracow traditional food is vodka

it will be delicious

Great video!!! 👌

They're so good, fantastic, melts in your mouth. Everything is made fresh, filling is from real fruit. Wrong people are in Poland right now. The food is so, so, good.

The best donuts are round one. Look for bakeries nor chain like dobra paczkarnia

Nice video! Greetings from Tricity in Poland!

SMACZNEGO TO YOU BOTH.

We certainly have the best breads in the world :D

great boss

Milk bars are definitely not for special occasions to go with your parents or grandparents. People of all ages and social classes dine at these establishments , they are a Polish version of fast food restaurants 😊 Milk bars were and are still to this day subsidized by the Polish government .

U need to try polish dish we call golonka it's a choped pig legs cooked coupe hours with sour kroud

Exelente video quiero comprar unos para deleitar 😊

If you ask Poles living abroad what they miss the most about Polish cuisine, a large part of them will answer that it is good Polish bread.

Brawo ! Polska rośnie !!! :)

Completed task9

the quality of the bred ...

Going to warsaw in sept. My son live there. Very nervous to go. Don’t know what to expect or even what to eat

Most of Polish milk bars are donated by Polish government that’s why price prices are so cheap

Gry Polish cakes eg sernik (cheesecake) or drożdżówka (yeastcake).👌

Try ogórek kiszony

The strangest thing is, out of all your tries of pronouncing polish words, you were the closest with "sznurek", and it was the one that made you burst in laugh :D

Dobrze zrobiony placek cyganski z baraninka smietanka i keczupem wymiata 😉😉😉Pozdro

You should try Maczanka in Adrus ❤

Zapiekanka

Poland is underestimated. It's a wonderful country. You can walk here at 3 am and no one will hurt you. Poles have always put freedom above all else. As a result of the aggression of Germany and Russia, a large part of Poland was subjected to enormous destruction. 62% of industry was destroyed, infrastructure - 85%, about 16.7% of the population lost their lives during the war. It's hard to recover from something like that. The Polish woman is the only one in the world to have won two Nobel prizes in different fields. Copernicus was also a Pole. And Polish food is the best in the world.

Your polish was pretty good for someone who doesn't speak polish. The obwarzanek 'needs something' was funny to me. We Poles like our bread. I can eat half a loaf without nothing else just because I love it but I can understand that people are not used to it.

Kołacze, sękacz i paprykarz szczeciński

Plum? No. Most traditional is rose filling.

When was this filmed? Looks like Autumn to me,

Where is the "kiełbaska z nyski" ? Sausage in a roll sold at night at Grzegórzecka Street, opposite the market hall? This sausage is reportedly made to order, especially for this one vendor.

Placki heaven Hahah im pierogi heaven 😂

Jak będziecie się awekuwać z waszego raju w USA, wiecie gdzie was nakarmi ią i to smacznie

You must try "żurek"

And plum isn't traditional polish fillling for donuts, rose one is original

Hello both, I wanted to ask if you really recommend Krakow to visit? THX for the video
