Glad to see you guys are enjoying our food :D A little context note on the oscypek: since it's January, what you've had was probably a golka - a cheese made in a same way to oscypek, but primarily made of cow's milk. Oscypek is a protected regional product under the EU laws and therefore to officially name the cheese product 'oscypek' it must meet several regulations, including (but not limited to) being made of at least 60% sheep milk and manufactured in a specific region of Poland from May until September (and can be sold only until mid-to-late October) due to the quality and quantity of sheep milk. Next time you visit, head to the mountains in May-September and you'll be able to find a truly proper oscypek :)
I see that tourists try the same dishes and Polish cuisine is rich and diverse. When you come back to Poland, try roast duck, bigos, chicken liver fried with onion, try Polish cakes; apple pie, cheesecake, poppy seed cake and others. Without stress, you pronounced the word "thank you" very well, and Poles know that foreigners have difficulty reading and speaking Polish, but they appreciate that they try. What you ate was a bit wrong; Potato pancakes are not made from puere, but from grated potatoes, an egg and finely chopped onion are added and are eaten hot, you can eat them with cream and sugar, with goulash sauce, the "Gołąbki" dish should be warm and usually topped with tomato sauce. not soup. I saw that the cream tubes were delicious. They are delicious when the wafer is baked and crispy and with natural whipped cream - my favorite. Cool and positive vlob.
Oh wow it all sounds amazing! We will definitely revisit to try all the incredible Polish food. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, we really appreciate it 🥰

Love this this, the food was one of my highlights, for some reason I was not expecting much, but was blown away by the quality. Glad you enjoyed Krakow too (I loved it). I did the same day trip as you 🥺 (it really hit & affected me the rest of the day). I hope you both had a great Christmas & New Year with your family & friends.

Heya Adz! Thanks very much 🥰 No our travels certainly arent over. We still have our Europe videos coming out every Sunday over the next few months. Currently at home in Melbourne and off travelling again in 3 weeks - cant wait to get back in to it!

Stuffed cabbage rolls should be hot, this is an oversight by the cooks. They taste best with bread or mashed potatoes. Homemade potato pancakes are not that fatty. Greetings from rainy Northern Ireland :)
Oh they're amazing aren't they! The ones we had in our Wroclaw video were much better though - SO GOOD! 😋 Thanks guys, hope your travels are going well!
I can say u guys are from Australia, coz' you call the "-2 C temperature" an extremaly freezing weather and you're dressed like it's -20 C and blizzards everywhere :D Nice channel! Have fun in Poland and best regards!
You must visit a restaurant and try fried Polish sausages, pork knuckle and for tough players, baked black pudding/kaszanki :)) I know it sounds like heresy, but potato pancakes with cream MUST be sprinkled with sugar. :))
@@KristyandSteveI’m 99% sure it is black pudding, it’s all made with blood sausage, but in every country it’s got a different name. In Poland blood sausage is called Kaszanka, big 👍🏼👍🏼 on knowing that, most people hear “blood” and just turn off/turn back. Also, the drink was called “orenrzada” its the name of an old carbonated beverage that the communist governments around the world made to compete with Coke, or Sprite, the old orenrzada was like a mix of Sprite and Canada Dry.
The drink you had at the milk bar is literally an orange version of a lemonade. Think of it as a polish fanta. It's called Orenzada which is kinda like Orangade I guess.
@@KristyandSteve if you are in Kraków you have to visit one of the most famous place with zapiekanki (Okrąglak, Estery 46, 31-056 Kraków), you can find there tens of zapiekanka served in many different ways
We've left Poland unfortunately. Loved Krakow! Preferred Warsaw though (Krakow was soooooo crazy busy, albeit extremely beautiful so we understand why its so busy) ☺️
Pijana Wiśnia is Ukrainian brand. Very popular in Ukraine in big cities and now popular in Poland because many people from Ukraine was live before war in Poland :)
Gołąbek shouldn't have been cold. I like Polny Bar Mleczny (the one with the long queue because of a nearby uni) but their gołąbki aren't good but at least warm
Daughter and I are visiting Poland next month from Melbourne. Great vid to get an idea of what to expect. Hopefully the weather will be warmer. Question: I only eat meat products. Will I easily find things to eat? 👋🏻
@@KristyandSteve Thank you so much, this is comforting knowledge. We have Airbnb accommodation to be able to cook. Might have to try a pierogi though. Really appreciate the reply. 😊
Overall, the episode isn't bad, but delving deeper into the details of the dishes you taste and showcase on TH-cam would be beneficial. Polish cuisine boasts incredible diversity and a rich history, making it truly worth exploring and discussing.
Its an amazing cuisine isn't it! We understand what you're saying but this was just our experience and first impressions of trying Polish food. Maybe we can do a more in-depth video when we revisit ☺️ Thanks for watching!
Video about Poland? My duty is to leave a comment and a like 🫡 And for pierogi i really like to use some spring onions cut in little pieces and some square cut fried bacon as toppings. This dish, pierogi ruskie was essentially what You would eat and go work whole day on a farm. White cheese, potatoes, eggs, flour, water, onion, salt and pepper and You're good to go, i just love pierogi lol
You must visit Polny Bar Mleczny next time. Much better than Prasowy. And this queue is moving fast! A good bar mleczny is always crowded, regardless of the time, it’s cheap and tasty. Gołąbek should be warm! 🙂
Next time you're here ping me. Will show you round Warsaw with some real life food and beverages. Glad you liked it! I'm a 6th generation Varsovian and also OZ from Perth. Cheers!
Potato pancakes are somewhat oily and that is normal, but they shouldn't be too oily. The thing is, the potato dough soaks the oil, therefore there is variety of things you can do to prevent that. Frying in a very hot oil makes them soak less fat. Also, right after taking them from the pan, the pancakes should be put in a bowl or on a plate, that is lined with paper towels or tissues - they will soak the excessive oil back from them. If you were to try potato pancakes in different cities and places, you will notice, that they're not always the same - it just depends on cooking techniques. Also, you may encounter different methods of grating the potatoes for pancakes. Sometimes, potatoes are grated to strips, resembling pasta - but this is NOT a typical polish potato pancake, this is more of a swiss "rosti". Classic polish potato pancake recipe calls for grating potatoes into consistent, creamy mush. Results may also vary, depending on what type of potatoes you are using, since some types hold more water in them, some less. If there's a lot of water in grated potato pulp, you should dispose of it, before mixing in flour, eggs and spices.
We went to that zapiekanki spot as well, while in Warsaw in the summer. Btw, there is a really nice restaurant, Stara Kamienica, on the same street… a hidden gem. We went there twice last summer. Anyway, are you guys going to be posting a Krakow video as well?
'Zapiekanka' as a street food in Poland was mainly popular in the early 2000s. Today it's less popular, because the selection of other various dishes from various cuisines around the world, available as street food, has developed significantly. But based on this nostalgia, there are still bars selling 'zapiekanka', although I personally associate it with poor, unhealthy, cheap food. In general, Polish cuisine is very interesting, apart from the dishes in the video, it's not only pierogi, bigos, sausages and soups, but thousands of various dishes, combinations of meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, mushrooms and all the treasures that Polish fields, forests, lakes and the sea are rich in ❤
Brrrrrrr! 🥶 We were told a few times we overdressed and it "wasnt THAT cold" .......oh we wholeheartedly disagree haha our winters dont get below 0 where we are from 😅
@@KristyandSteve -26 i took on bare plate xD my nipples froze xD the feeling is leaving the house like you go to outer space (in space xD) if i was two times longer in this conditions im sure they would die xD

Oh we LOVED it! We went out prepared and were very comfortable. It was -30 in Tromso, Norway, so this was a good introduction to the cold weather for us ☺️
We loved our central/northern European trip in the autumn/winter - so different to what we are used to back home in Melbourne where it doesnt drop below zero ever really
@@KristyandSteve Poland is also beautiful in winter ⛄⛄❄❄🥶🥶 th-cam.com/video/Vfq0nzu3ss0/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/xDkGd7hvfPY/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/pXvY_G54AHc/w-d-xo.html And here Masuria is a place of a thousand lakes, in fact there are over 3-4 thousand of them 🌳🌳🏡🏡👍👍 th-cam.com/video/FhbDLHAFrBs/w-d-xo.html
If you are in Warsaw you should try warsaw cuisine. Its perfect for cold winter days. The best place to try dishes like ,,flaki po warszawsku" is located near old town. Its named pyzy flaki gorące. Tradional way of serving food in Warsaw is a jar instead of plate.
Dont worry. Dziękuję is very hard for any foreigners. Not only letter Ę is rather unique sound but also DZ is hard for someone outside slavic group. ANd its not even normal DZ, it is softer version bc of "i" next to it. Cabbage rolls dont supose to be cold. Also it wasnt a soup its juts very watery sauce.
Yes, we definitely struggled a little with the Polish pronunciation! Thankfully everyone we encountered were so incredibly nice and helpful. Agree with the cabbage rolls, hopefully we get better ones when we revisit ❤️
You should go to Katowice and try some Silesian dishes! Pijana wiśnia Originally comes from Ukraine,Lviv . Original tastes better but this in Warsaw is quite good 😊
Hello! It came to 120 PLN , we knew what we were getting ourselves into so weren't surprised. Do you have any suggestions for a more affordable place for the oscypek in Warsaw?
Hello! You can absolutely get by with English, but dont expect everyone to speak it. It's always good to know basic words (please, thank you, hello etc) to places you're visiting, and the locals very much appreciate it. Have a great time in Warsaw, its a brilliant city ❤️
@@KristyandSteve thank you for the insight🙏, and just curious how much would you need to get by for one week in Warsaw with usd, would you happen to know? I plan to go but know little, especially for budget. Would you happen to know a price range 🤔 would appreciate the help!
Hi there 👋 We spent about USD$45 per night for our airbnb, which was about 8min walk into the "Old town" (great location!). Eating out, we spent about USD$20-30 per day - we did cook one meal per day at our airbnb and ate out for the others. Getting around on the trams was very inexpensive. You could do it a lot cheaper than what we did, or a lot more expensive. Id say average budget maybe USD$600-$700 for a week would be a comfortable amount ☺️
No i ich wersja budowlańca czyli ,,tradies'' zarabiają od 60 do 100$ na godzinę. Co jak co ale aż dziwię się że nasi budowlańcy jadą do Niemiec, UK czy Norwegii a nie do Australii
Just 24 years ago, the normal winter temperature in Poland was between -20 degrees C and -27 degrees C. 24 years ago there was 20 to 50 centimeters of snow . Climate change has killed these winters and it can be said that Poland is currently in a permanent hydrological drought
Definitely believe that! We filmed this video in mid November so was still quite mild. Would love to revisit in Jan/Feb and experience a real Polish winter ❄️ Thank you for watching!
@@KristyandSteve Currently, the real Polish winter can sometimes be seen in the Tatra Mountains in a town called Zakopane. The town is located 75 miles south of Krakow on the border with Slovakia. The "oscypek" cheese comes from this region. I suggest visiting a lake in the mountains called Morskie Oko sometime in the summer. There are swimming pools with hot thermal water nearby in Bukowina Tatrzańska. The mountains themselves are not super high because the highest peak is 2,600 meters above sea level or 8,530 feet high. There is a cableway to the peak called Kasprowy Wierch (6,561 feet high) from Kuźnica. In a small village called Dębno (accessible by bus from Nowy Targ) you can see a historic wooden church from the 15th century from the UNESCO list. Enter the phrase "Church of St. Michael the Archangel in Dębno" into the Google search . Milk Bars in Poland are cheap because they are 50% subsidized by the state
@@KristyandSteve Near Krakow there is a 13th century salt mine in the town of Wieliczka that can be visited. In Krakow there are places and the historic factory itself from the movie Schindler's List . In the north of Poland, in the city of Malbork, there is the world's largest brick castle, which was once ruled by the Teutonic Knights . It is also a land of lakes called Masuria, where there are 3,000 lakes . You can also visit the real ruins of Hitler's headquarters called the Wolf's Lair in Kętrzyn if you like history and watched the American film Valkyrie. The city of Gdańsk is located on the Baltic Sea. The beaches are long and sandy, although the water temperature in the Baltic Sea in summer does not exceed 23 degrees Celsius . The eastern part of Poland, i.e. the area around the city of Białystok, resembles a Russian province from Hollywood movies because it is inhabited by Belarusians .
Gołąbki (cabbage rolls stuffed with meat and rice) MUST be hot. I can't imagine cold gołąbki 🤦 The most traditional way of serving is with tomato sauce, but the sauce should be much thicker. This one looked like soup.
to be honest be happy you did miss on the xmas market. food there is 3x more expensive and tastes 3x worse than usual. The market looks nice but for food its just not worth it.
W Polsce niestosowne jest jedzenie w pomieszczeniu w budynku przy stole na przykład w restauracji barze w domu na stołówce w czapce na głowie. Jest to zachowanie niekulturalne dla Polaków i szczególnie ludzie obcy powinni o takich podstawowych sprawach wiedzieć. Możesz jeść w czapce na zewnątrz na ogrodzie czy na ulicy nigdy w pomieszczeniu. Odwiedzając cudze strony warto dowiedzieć jak się zachować by nie obrazić tubylców. Pozdrawiam
Dziękuję za zrozumienie. My mówimy podróże kształcą. Co oznacza że poznajemy inną kulturę i obyczaje. Pozdrawiam serdecznie mam nadzieję że jeszcze odwiedzicie mój kraj. Jesteście bardzo miłą parą.
why eweryone wisiting the bigest city in the poland ? Mazury, karpacz, bieszczady, zakopane, podlasie, góry stołowe. many,many diferend playces have a soul in Poland. try mazury. sorry my english is shitty but it's my opinion

Gdańsk, Krakow, Bydgoszcz and Wroclaw and Zakopane!

Nice to see happy people enjoying Poland .

Glad to see you guys are enjoying our food :D A little context note on the oscypek: since it's January, what you've had was probably a golka - a cheese made in a same way to oscypek, but primarily made of cow's milk. Oscypek is a protected regional product under the EU laws and therefore to officially name the cheese product 'oscypek' it must meet several regulations, including (but not limited to) being made of at least 60% sheep milk and manufactured in a specific region of Poland from May until September (and can be sold only until mid-to-late October) due to the quality and quantity of sheep milk. Next time you visit, head to the mountains in May-September and you'll be able to find a truly proper oscypek :)
Thanks so much for this information! 🙏
I see that tourists try the same dishes and Polish cuisine is rich and diverse. When you come back to Poland, try roast duck, bigos, chicken liver fried with onion, try Polish cakes; apple pie, cheesecake, poppy seed cake and others. Without stress, you pronounced the word "thank you" very well, and Poles know that foreigners have difficulty reading and speaking Polish, but they appreciate that they try. What you ate was a bit wrong; Potato pancakes are not made from puere, but from grated potatoes, an egg and finely chopped onion are added and are eaten hot, you can eat them with cream and sugar, with goulash sauce, the "Gołąbki" dish should be warm and usually topped with tomato sauce. not soup.

Hello! 👋
Polish food is hard to digest but tasty.I'm wondering would you like christmas or easter polish typical food?
There's nothing more disgusting than Australian "food".Baked beans on toast or fairy bread.Much much better things coming out of my ass.🤷
This video has absolutely nothing to do with "Australian" food 🤣🤣🤣
@@KristyandStevewhat is it about? 🤣🤣🤣
We'll leave it open to interpretation 🤣
@@KristyandSteve 🤷♀️
When you have a warm holiday in Australia and come to Central and Northern Europe :D
We loved our central/northern European trip in the autumn/winter - so different to what we are used to back home in Melbourne where it doesnt drop below zero ever really
Best Country for my !!!
🇵🇱❤️
Hi Kristy and steve we are coming to Poland this chrissy2024 yes and we are coming from Sydney where are you guys from?
Hello! We are from Melbourne ☺️ Have a great time in Poland - its magic in the winter ❄️
-2 is not cold
To us, it certainly is! 🥶
@@KristyandSteve Poland is also beautiful in winter ⛄⛄❄❄🥶🥶

You are so incredibly helpful with providing us all this wonderful information - we very much appreciate it, thank you 🥰
I would like to recommend the Rolls with real whipped cream on street Wolska
Thank you! This is very helpful for others reading the comments if they're planning a trip to Warsaw (we have left Poland) ☺️
@@KristyandSteve No problem! If I hear something interesting, I'll definitely mention it. Have a nice day. Best regards 🙂
Thank you so much! 🥰
If you are in Warsaw you should try warsaw cuisine. Its perfect for cold winter days. The best place to try dishes like ,,flaki po warszawsku" is located near old town. Its named pyzy flaki gorące. Tradional way of serving food in Warsaw is a jar instead of plate.
Interesting! Thanks for the tip ☺️
2:45 actually insane that this place used to be car shit show and unwalkable ugly street and now its so pretty, it was 2 years ago
also its get dark really fast in poland during winter, in summer the sun sets at around 22:00
Oh wow! Would be good to experience the summer in Poland. Is it much busier compared to the winter?
Thanks for watching our video ❤️
Dont worry. Dziękuję is very hard for any foreigners. Not only letter Ę is rather unique sound but also DZ is hard for someone outside slavic group. ANd its not even normal DZ, it is softer version bc of "i" next to it.
Cabbage rolls dont supose to be cold. Also it wasnt a soup its juts very watery sauce.
Yes, we definitely struggled a little with the Polish pronunciation! Thankfully everyone we encountered were so incredibly nice and helpful.
Agree with the cabbage rolls, hopefully we get better ones when we revisit ❤️
You should go to Katowice and try some Silesian dishes!
Pijana wiśnia Originally comes from Ukraine,Lviv . Original tastes better but this in Warsaw is quite good 😊
We have unfortunately left Poland 😔
Thank you for these suggestions & the information though!
Witam w pięknej Warszawie
Thank you very much 🥰
I think they forgot to heat your food 😂I surprise that you lot remember all names and done lot of research
I know right haha! Bet it would have tasted so much better hot 😅
10:20 HOW MUCH??? That was a rip off.
Hello! It came to 120 PLN , we knew what we were getting ourselves into so weren't surprised. Do you have any suggestions for a more affordable place for the oscypek in Warsaw?
Pozdrawiam..jeść Polskę.to dobre..💪
😀

can I speak only English while visiting Poland Warsaw? or is it necessary to know polish ??? I plan to go haha
Hello! You can absolutely get by with English, but dont expect everyone to speak it. It's always good to know basic words (please, thank you, hello etc) to places you're visiting, and the locals very much appreciate it. Have a great time in Warsaw, its a brilliant city ❤️
@@KristyandSteve thank you for the insight🙏, and just curious how much would you need to get by for one week in Warsaw with usd, would you happen to know? I plan to go but know little, especially for budget. Would you happen to know a price range 🤔 would appreciate the help!
Hi there 👋
We spent about USD$45 per night for our airbnb, which was about 8min walk into the "Old town" (great location!). Eating out, we spent about USD$20-30 per day - we did cook one meal per day at our airbnb and ate out for the others. Getting around on the trams was very inexpensive. You could do it a lot cheaper than what we did, or a lot more expensive. Id say average budget maybe USD$600-$700 for a week would be a comfortable amount ☺️
@@KristyandSteve thank you so much 🙏
A Australii zazdrościmy słońca cały rok😄

No i ich wersja budowlańca czyli ,,tradies'' zarabiają od 60 do 100$ na godzinę. Co jak co ale aż dziwię się że nasi budowlańcy jadą do Niemiec, UK czy Norwegii a nie do Australii
@@morvran9074może dlatego ze te kraje są bliżej i są w strefie Schengen

Your Polish pronunciation is awesome. You can be a lector
eader in news, does not matter if you do not understand most of the things🤣
This is the best compliment! Thank you so much 🥰
haha movment a bit impaired after grzaniec xD
Haha just a little! 😂

Haaha grzaniec😅😂
It's certainly an acquired taste 😅 Have you tried it?

Just 24 years ago, the normal winter temperature in Poland was between -20 degrees C and -27 degrees C. 24 years ago there was 20 to 50 centimeters of snow . Climate change has killed these winters and it can be said that Poland is currently in a permanent hydrological drought
Definitely believe that! We filmed this video in mid November so was still quite mild. Would love to revisit in Jan/Feb and experience a real Polish winter ❄️
Thank you for watching!
@@KristyandSteve Currently, the real Polish winter can sometimes be seen in the Tatra Mountains in a town called Zakopane. The town is located 75 miles south of Krakow on the border with Slovakia. The "oscypek" cheese comes from this region. I suggest visiting a lake in the mountains called Morskie Oko sometime in the summer. There are swimming pools with hot thermal water nearby in Bukowina Tatrzańska. The mountains themselves are not super high because the highest peak is 2,600 meters above sea level or 8,530 feet high. There is a cableway to the peak called Kasprowy Wierch (6,561 feet high) from Kuźnica. In a small village called Dębno (accessible by bus from Nowy Targ) you can see a historic wooden church from the 15th century from the UNESCO list. Enter the phrase "Church of St. Michael the Archangel in Dębno" into the Google search . Milk Bars in Poland are cheap because they are 50% subsidized by the state
Sounds amazing! What a brilliant country to explore, it has everything doesn't it? Thank you for this information, very much appreciated 🙏
@@KristyandSteve Near Krakow there is a 13th century salt mine in the town of Wieliczka that can be visited. In Krakow there are places and the historic factory itself from the movie Schindler's List . In the north of Poland, in the city of Malbork, there is the world's largest brick castle, which was once ruled by the Teutonic Knights . It is also a land of lakes called Masuria, where there are 3,000 lakes . You can also visit the real ruins of Hitler's headquarters called the Wolf's Lair in Kętrzyn if you like history and watched the American film Valkyrie. The city of Gdańsk is located on the Baltic Sea. The beaches are long and sandy, although the water temperature in the Baltic Sea in summer does not exceed 23 degrees Celsius . The eastern part of Poland, i.e. the area around the city of Białystok, resembles a Russian province from Hollywood movies because it is inhabited by Belarusians .
Brilliant information, thank you so much! Its very helpful for anyone reading these comments who are perhaps planning a trip to Poland.
Thanks again 🥰
Gołąbki (cabbage rolls stuffed with meat and rice) MUST be hot. I can't imagine cold gołąbki 🤦 The most traditional way of serving is with tomato sauce, but the sauce should be much thicker. This one looked like soup.
Kisses from Poland 😘
Haha yes I got quite the shock when it was cold 🤣 Still tasted pretty good though
really playing it safe with the haff size originall but ok...
Oh we would normally get the full size (each), but did you see how much we ate in this video? 🤣
Thank you for watching!
👍
😊
Are those Australians from Austria ???
No we're from Australia ☺️
to be honest be happy you did miss on the xmas market. food there is 3x more expensive and tastes 3x worse than usual. The market looks nice but for food its just not worth it.
That is good to know, thank you! ☺️
Ogród Saski = Saxon Garden
Thank you 🥰
do vodka tasting as You there
We've left unfortunately! -next time 😋
The fact that they served you cold gołąbki is outrageous :( They definatelly should be hot
Wish I tried it hot, would have tasted so much better 🥲
W Polsce niestosowne jest jedzenie w pomieszczeniu w budynku przy stole na przykład w restauracji barze w domu na stołówce w czapce na głowie. Jest to zachowanie niekulturalne dla Polaków i szczególnie ludzie obcy powinni o takich podstawowych sprawach wiedzieć. Możesz jeść w czapce na zewnątrz na ogrodzie czy na ulicy nigdy w pomieszczeniu. Odwiedzając cudze strony warto dowiedzieć jak się zachować by nie obrazić tubylców. Pozdrawiam
Totally agree with you, it was so cold and we forgot to take it off a few times. We certainly dont mean to offend anybody.
Dziękuję za zrozumienie. My mówimy podróże kształcą. Co oznacza że poznajemy inną kulturę i obyczaje. Pozdrawiam serdecznie mam nadzieję że jeszcze odwiedzicie mój kraj. Jesteście bardzo miłą parą.
Dziękuję ❤️

łażą po jakiś randomowych szpetnych barach z niedobrym jedzeniem zamiast zapytać książula gdzie posmakować rarytasu :)

gołąbek should be warm.
Thought so!
