Polish Food Tour! | Americans Try Traditional Polish Pierogi & Pączki in Wroclaw, Poland(incredible)

We are in Poland for the first time ever! We hit the streets of Wroclaw and taste test traditional Polish food. We start out eating pierogi which is inarguably the best-known Polish food. These stuffed dumplings evolved into one of Poland's favorite dishes. Every family has their own version of pierogi filling, and the ingredients that can be used are limited only by the imagination of the chef. The next morning we try an assortment of Polish Pączki which are very rich donuts, deep fried and then filled with fruit or cream filling and covered with powdered sugar or icing. :)

Whenever you see a "w" in Polish, treat it as a "v." Whenever you see a "c" it's close to "ts" rather than a "k." "Ł" is pretty much an english "w." So: Wrocław is "vrots-wav."

Potato dumplings's name is actually derived from Ruthenia, a region in Poland and Ukraine, not Russia.
Ruthenia is "Ruś" in Polish, hence the name "pierogi ruskie". If it was derived from Russia, it would be "pierogi rosyjskie".

Potato pancakes (placki ziemniaczane) are usually eaten with sour cream or a mushroom sauce. Yeah, they're quite plain on their own. If you ever get pączki again, try the ones stuffed with rose jam. They're the most "traditional" type and you don't get rose jam anywhere else really, it's a very unique flavor.

I dont know if someone mentioned it already here in the comment section, but here is a fun fact for you:

The american doughnut actually originates from Poland. Specifically from the Jewish Kazimierz district in Kraków and as you may have guess by now those were brought over to the US by Polish Jew's.

Unfortunately, I have never been to Poland, but your video has strengthened my desire to visit it next year. I hope you will also visit Krakow. I have heard so many positive things about this city. And I am so hungry for lunch now, 😃

Dumplings/pierogies/do not come from Russia.Ruskie Pierogi do come origginaly from one of polish provinces that borders ukraine

[kaylethdark]

Pierogi is a polish word and it's derived from the proto-slavic word for feast. Since the origin is proto-slavic there will be similar words in other Slavic languages. Also Poland was a country before Russia was even a thought (at least the Russia everyone thinks of now).

Placki ziemniaczane (potato pancakes) are only seasoned with bit of salt and pepper so that you can have them with anything you want. They are like the backing vocals to a meal. Usually you lovely gulasz with that or cream and sugar if you fancy them sweet :)

I lived in Germany years ago and loved every minute. Poland is still on my bucket list, particularly the Posnan area. As a child my nickname was Pączki.

Dumplings of any sort are full of win!

Another Polish Dish you should try is Bigos, which is a Hunter's stew and it is fantastic.

I buy fresh Polish pierogi from the local supermarket in Britain. Because there are still (despite Brexit) so many East Europeans living and working here, there's a good selection of Polish food. I pan fry the pierogi in sunflower oil.

My father's parents were from Poland. I lived in an area where people from Eastern Europe flooded the area to work in the local coal mines in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Most of them were from Poland. Consequently, most people in the area where I grew up were familiar with Polish culture and food. My non-Polish grandmother and one of my non-Polish aunts routinely included kielbasa with the rest of the food they served on Thanksgiving. I grew up seeing kielbasa and horseradish on the table next to turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy and ham, along with stuffing, pumpkin pie and so on. The same aunt used to make golabki, haluski and pierogis. She used cheese and mashed potatoes in her pierogis. Those were my favorites, She also used cabbage and prunes and they were also very good.

I‘m a little bit envious. My last time in Poland was in my childhood, 40 years ago. The food looks so good.

[albertkowalski]

The only thing I don't like in Poland and other European countries, such as Greece or Italy, is that often these beautiful, historic buildings are damaged by graffiti. I hate it. Why are there people who think graffiti is still fashionable?

Miłego pobytu w Polsce! Wszystkiego dobrego.

Fun fact: Fahrenheit was Polish but in Poland they use Celsius

The "limousine bus" is called melex. It's an elctric vehicle produced in Poland since early 70's. It's quiet, good for environment but kinda slow and with rather short range. Often used as a bus for guided tours . Next time you should take the opportunity and go for a tour. It's not expensive but very informative, most offer tours in English. I went for one in Krakow last month and it was a great experience. But maybe I was lucky :) As for the potato pancakes, these are mildly flavoured for a reason. You can make it savory by topping it with a sauce/gravy such as mushroom sauce, meat stew etc but some people prefer it sprinkled with sugar or even sugar and sour cream. Great video.

Your daughter is such polite, sweet, positive child, very well raised.
You have to try traditional Polish food, but I am not sure wether you will find it in such "chain restaurants".
You can check a vlog of a pair of foreigners (British and Russian) living in Kraków. They show a lot of traditional Polish food in many restaurants. The vlog's name is: PLANET KRAKOW.
Which part of US are you people from?
