Wow a lot of nice looking dishes there Mandy & Kris. Never been in Poland. Thank you so much for taking us along. Will definitely put this wonderful country on my bucket list.
😂😂 Can't belive it! Music at Pierogi festival is Serbian song performed by a singer called Dzej (Jay) Ramadanovski. It's fantastic! 😍❤ Thanks Polan! Love from Serbia!
Pod Aniolami/Under the Angels is my favourite restaurant in Krakow. I've been eating there for over 15 years. Never had a bad meal. If I'm due to go to the Krakow Christmas market in December, I make sure I book a table by June. This wonderful restaurant will be booked up very quickly during December.
Thanks for your comment, the food is really amazing in Krakow. You definitely should go next time you visit Poland. Where is your favourite place in Poland?
@@almostlanding I really enjoyed the Zurek soup in a bread bowl in Poznan. Unfortunately the place I ate at in the Old Town Square has since closed down. It was my favorite food that I had in Poland.
Nice video. As a Polish-American who had the good fortune to go to college with Australians and Kiwis, I really enjoyed your Perspective. I definitely NEED to visit Poland - and Australia - one of these days as there's a really cool vibe there. And,damn... Krakow is SO BEAUTIFUL!! And then there's the food... I already know that I love kielbasa, Pierogi, Bigos, golumpki and Pączki. BUT I'd love to TRY one of those MASSIVE Zapiekanka Sangers and Poland's legendary Ice Cream🍦 A food Vlogger I follow said the Polish Ice Cream gave her a "foodgasm," WHATEVER that is!!😀
Hi Charlie, thanks so much for your comment :) You should definitely visit Poland and Australia, both beautiful places! We love Polish food too. Zapiekanka and Polish Ice cream definitely won't disappoint! Zapiekanka is the ultimate comfort food and we had so much ice cream here, couldn't resist :)
6:00 "Maczanka krakowska" is few centuries older than hamburgers. The legend says it was served as a cheap food for poor students in Krakow (so the story is quite similar to that of Italian pizza), though Poznan claims to be "cradle" of that food as well. Of course the only legitimate "Polish pizza" is zapiekanka. It was always popular in Poland and last decades it became the most popular Polish street food, also the most recognizable by foreign tourists. It's even more popular than Turkish kebab (which is interestingly a lot more popular than in Turkey, LOL). 15:17 Polish "ą" should be pronounced as nasal "o" (close to the French "on"). "Pączki" i "paczki" are in Polish two separate words with different meanings ;-) ... and "ł" should be pronounced as English semivowel "w".
Hi, thanks for your comment and the extra info :) I definitely failed with my Paczki pronunciation in this video, but in our follow up one on Krakow desserts here: th-cam.com/video/9Da_l0y5b3k/w-d-xo.html I think I was a little closer to what you are saying?
“Kielbasa” means sousage, in Poland we have many different sausages- for example- Kiełbasa Krakowska, Kiełbasa Myśliwska, Kiełbasa Wiejska, Kiełbasa Podwawelska, Kiełbasa Śląska, Kiełbasa Jałowcowa and many, many others locals sausages :-) .
Hi Dominik, thanks for your comment ;) From the video can you tell which type of Kielbasa we had? All the versions we tried in Krakow had the same strong smoked flavour. So delicious! Where in Poland are you from?
@@almostlanding It was kiełbasa Śląska (Silesian sausage, btw so difficult word). Have you tried kabanosy? You prepared really well and tried great food. I would recommend krokiety with barszcz.
Dumplings with blueberries, are the taste of my childhood, we went to the forest for blueberries and then made dumplings that when freshly harvested, taste best when poured with cream and touched on the surface with a little sugar. Nothing can replace them.
Hi, thanks so much! Krakow is beautiful, we loved the food there and pierogi are always delicious. We met 10 years ago at a bar, wish we had a more interesting story ;)
"Ruskie pierogi" does not mean "Russian pierogi". Word "Ruskie" in this case is an adjective made from word "Ruś" - which is a historical name for a land located basicly where modern day Ukraine is (more or less) and it (Ruś) is not sinonimus with Russia (which back then was and still is a different place). Funny fact - even most of Poles don't realise this. BTW. Audio is awfull - do something about it next time.
Hi! So happy you brought this up actually so people can see the extra information here. In our 'Best pierogi in Krakow' article (almostlanding.com/best-pierogi-in-krakow-poland/), we go into detail about this too, that Ruskie Pierogi does not mean it is Russian in origin, and actually refers to Rus or Ruthenia, as you mention. The reason we say 'otherwise known as Russian Dumplings' in the video, is because they are referred to on many menus in Krakow as Russian Dumplings, and also the google translate of Ruskie will show up as Russian. Many of our audience are travellers and it's handy to know that if they are looking for Ruskie Pierogi it's the same as Russian dumpling on a menu :) But thanks so much for your comment, because it's so important to us that what we share is accurate.
@@almostlanding Pelmeni (Russian pronunciation: [pʲɪlʲmʲenʲɪ]; Russian: пельмени - plural, пельмень. Russian pronunciation: [pʲɪlʲmʲenʲ] - singular) are the dumplings of the Russian cuisine, which consist of the filling of the unseen, unleavened dough. The debate about the place of birth, Ural and Siberia, both administering strong claims. Pelmeni are considered the heart of Russian cuisine. The filling can be minced meat (pork, lamb, beef, or any other kind of meat, venison being particularly traditional), or fish. The mixing together of different kinds of meat is also popular. The traditional Udmurt recipe requires a mixture of 45% beef, 35% mutton, and 20% pork. Various spices, such as black pepper and diced onions as well as garlic, are mixed into the filling.
@@yakeosicki8965 We are not talking about origins of dumplings / pierogi / pelmeni. We are talking about specific Polish dish and its name not being translated correctly to English.
@@gantz1978 I know about this. I'm Polish. In Polish language, the Ruthenian and Russian pronunciation is similar. Pierogi Ruthenian Pierogi Ruskie) come from the Ruthenian Voivodeship. It was for a thousand years the south-eastern part of Poland. Today it's western Ukraine. Therefore, we do not translate Russian dumplings only Ruthenian dumplings. This is a common mistake. Many Poles do it too, because they don't know history. I wrote about Russian dumplings ( Pelmeni) to show the difference. The best dumplings with meat are from Georgia. They are called Chinkali.
About those patato pancakes - you can easily make some when you're back in home right now ;) you just need some grated potatoes and onion + egg + some flour and a pan to prepare it ;) eat with everything you like!
As a typically arrogant Cracovian I watch tourist vlogs to laugh at the very basic choices in them, and you know what? This is annoyingly good, there was literally one place I could think of that you missed (Meat and Go, a superb sandwich place in the Tytano complex). Everything else was exactly what somebody who knows the city well would suggest trying, you've done your research and gone from the street snacks to fine dining, via traditional and classic milk bars. You even found space to mention the food truck craze. Of course it concentrates on Polish food but there are a couple of non-native trends worth exploring, as a side note - there's been a big increase in Italian, Korean and Bangladeshi, as well as Indian people living here recently, and some have opened great places to eat. Anyway, thanks for a good video and most of all thanks for not mentioning Auschwitz once:D
Hi! Thanks so much for your comment, it means so much to hear that :) We spent 5 weeks in Krakow and loved it. We will have to try Meat and Go next time, thanks for the tip! And interesting to note about the increase in international cuisine. Hopefully we can make it back soon and see more of Poland, we miss Polish food!
@@almostlanding ah I'm glad you get the tone it was meant in. You guys got that it's a real place, not just a living museum, so thanks again for showing some things that reflect that
Thanks for your comment, we link to all of the places we eat in the article on our blog: almostlanding.com/where-to-eat-in-krakow-poland/, many of the restaurants have current menus/prices on them. Hope this helps :)
@@almostlanding my favourite is probably the new bulit bento box foodtruck but i also like the boogietruck with burgers. I still miss big red tho with that delicious fish and chips inside a double decker
Hi Lana, thanks so much :) Will try and do this in the future! In the meantime, we have a full article here: almostlanding.com/where-to-eat-in-krakow-poland/ where we link to each restaurant and they usually have up to date pricing if that helps :)
Hi Stephen, from what we can tell it is open on Sundays, however, we don't think we ate here on a Sunday. You can see more details of Endzior and the other places in our article here: almostlanding.com/where-to-eat-in-krakow-poland/
Paczki :))) good one friends , but pronounce was wrong - letter A vs Ą is a big difference . A=A , while Ą sounds like English OU - to make it simple - Pączki = Ponczki , because Paczki like you said in the video means Parcels :) Paczki & Pączki are two different things . The trick with CZ , SZ - is when you replace Z into H , then you will have English version CH or TCH , SH . RZ or Ż - is like G in French - Gittanes or English Giraffe . DŻ - sounds like in Italian Giro or English Jam = Polish Dżem . CH sounds like H , Chleb (bread) = Hleb , Ó sounds the same like U in word Urban or Uber , so Wódka = Vudka or Voo - dka :) W=V , Poland is a fatherland of this alcohol . Forgot the last one - L & Ł , L=L while Ł is like English W (William) . You made great job , thank you guys !
From my brief stay so far it seems that most food is drenched in butter, especially cooked vegetables which makes it difficult for me to eat. I have to avoid dairy products and I don't know enough polish to check lol
Thanks for your comment and tip, so happy you liked the video. Will definitely think about it for future videos. As prices and menus change, on our full blog post we link to the restaurants directly. Many of the places have current menus and prices. Hope this helps :) You can see the blog post here: almostlanding.com/where-to-eat-in-krakow-poland/
These aren't Russian pierogi. These are Ruthenian pierogi. Ruthenia was part of Poland for a thousand years. Now it's Western Ukraine. You had a good trip but very calorific XD Milk Bar. The first milk bar, a snack bar serving vegetarian dishes based on milk, eggs and flour, was opened in Warsaw in 1896 by Stanisław Dłużewski (breeder, farmer and landowner). The bar was called "Nadświdrzańska Mleczarnia" and was located at Nowy Świat Street in Warsaw. The bar was profitable, and soon other entrepreneurs opened similar branches. Milk bar is a type of fast food restaurant in Poland, which spread in the period after World War I, and then spread on the other. Milk bars operate on the basis of home cooking. It's called milk "dairy", because the menu contains a large number of dairy products, as well as cereals, egg dishes (omelettes) and flour (cakes) less meat. In the 1950s, beer appeared in some milk bars. Visitors are attracted not only by home-made dishes, but also by the menu. Annually, from the state budget, about 9 million dollars are allocated to support dozens of milk bars in Poland. Therefore, but also thanks to the help of city authorities (cheap rent, free gas, electricity), prices in milk bars are really low: about 3-4 times lower than in the usual restaurant. At the end of the old Polish comedy "Miś". th-cam.com/video/JauDtDthLh0/w-d-xo.html My student life was in milk bars. XD I miss the beef tongue in horseradish sauce. XDDDDDD Jewish cuisine in Polish style is interesting. This can be tasted in the Kazimierz district.
Potato pancakes had to be sprinkled with a little coarse sugar then they are the best, because the sauce is too bland. pancakes with sugar are the taste of childhood.
This Russian song in the background during the filming of the pierogi festival is a bit missed/out of place. As I understand it was supposed to be a reference to ruskie pierogi, the problem is that ruskie pierogi (incorrectly translated into English as Russian dumplings) have nothing to do with Russia. In fact the adjective ruski (or in plural ruskie) comes from the noun Ruś, not Russia. And to be more precise, the name of pierogi ruskie comes from the name Ruś Czerwona (Ruthenia Rubra in latin) that is, from the name of the historical land located in northwestern Ukraine and in south-eastern Poland. If pierogi ruskie actually came from Russia then it would be called pierogi rosyjskie. Just a small clarification. ;) Other then that, it's pretty nice video. Cheers!
Hi Toto, thanks so much for your comment and the information and so happy you like the video :) Funnily enough, the song you mention was actually the live song playing by a band at the pierogi festival, we wanted to keep it in the video to give the feel of what it was like at the festival. We mention the Ruskie pierogi is also called 'Russian pierogi' as it was written like that in many menus in Krakow. But it's a shame we didn't clarify that this doesn't mean they are of Russian origin. So thanks for adding all this information to the comments :)
@@almostlanding > the song you mention was actually the live song playing by a band Ah I see, I thought you added this song during editing. > We mention the Ruskie pierogi is also called 'Russian pierogi' as it was written like that in many menus in Krakow Honestly, many Poles are also convinced that the adjective 'ruskie' in the name of pierogi comes from Russia hence we can often see in the menu in the restaurants this name translated into English as Russian pierogi/dumplings. Another thing is that there is probably no English translation of the name 'Ruś'. > But it's a shame we didn't clarify Come on don't be a shame. ;) My comment by any means wasn't meant to make you feel ashamed. As I mentioned above, even many Poles are convinced that the name comes from the name Russia. I just wanted to share this linguistic curiosity.
Ruskie pierogi is more like Ruthenian pierogi (not Russian). Ruthenia was once a part of Poland and comprised territories which nowadays lie in western Ukraine and sout-eastern Poland.
My entire family, is from Poland, those long sandwiches, are by no means, in any way shape or form. You should get in contact with me, on Face Book: Evona A Grochowski, My mother can tell you what is and isn't traditional Polish Food! She is an awesome cook.
Thank you for your comment Evona, where in Poland is your family from? Thanks for the offer, next time we are in Poland we would love to hear from your mother what is and isn't traditional Polish food :)
Hi There, Fellow Travellers! :-) I want to give two recommendations, based on quality and taste more than popular claims. Remember that underneath are my SUBJECTIVE recommendations. First: Zapiekanka (plural: Zapiekanki). Somehow, every time, even among locals, when I hear about Zapiekanka, okrąglak ("Rounded One"?) at Plac Nowy shows up, completely ignoring best place to have them. Don't know, why that happens, since at Plac Nowy they are using mediocre ingredients. They are equivalent of pizza made on top of shitty margherita, drown in many flavours. If you want superb quality zapiekanka, go to spot at Sienna Street, near Rynek. They will not cover it in many ingredients, but bread, cheese and mushrooms are great quality. Second: Ice cream. Good Lood... They are very liked, but they rely heavily on unhealthy addictions in modern society. Sugar or taste boosters (unholy trinity is closed with salt). If every spoon of sugar and every pinch of booster gives you pleasure, then Good Lood is for you. I don't say they are giving them in big quantities, but they taste like they have too much. If you associate good strawberry ice cream with strawberries, cream and spoon of sugar mixed together, there is better place to go. If you prefer moderate amounts of sugar in any desserts (so contrary to what most confectionaries with mass production accustomed us to), choose ice cream from Starowiślna 83.
HI, thanks so much for your comment and tips. Will have to try the Zapiekanaka you mention next time we are in Krakow. We mention Starowiślna in our desserts in Krakow article (almostlanding.com/best-desserts-in-krakow-poland/), along with Good Lood, both completely different, but we enjoyed them both :) Thanks again!
STOP RIGHT THERE. Did you just call oscypek"just smoked cheese"? That's like calling the Big Ben just a clock, or calling the statue of liberty just as metal statue. Oscypek is the ultimate prime super duper cheese of the polish mountains. Made with both goat and cow milk by special artisan crafters it is theeeeeeee cheese.
That ridiculous bread pizza you bought is absolutely NOT Polish. Poles put catsup and peas on their pizza so you were sold some tourist version of pizza. 😆
Hi Marek we love pierogi but we definitely tried and loved many other Polish dishes and food as you can see in this video :) What are your favourite Polish foods we should try next time?
try flaki soup (tripe) . ogurkowa (pickle soup) . pyzy (dumplings with meat ) . bigos (hunter stew ) , shabowy (schnitzel Polish way ) I am sure you will like it , accept tripe its really good but the word tripe my turn you off

Oh be quiet, wimp. "Drenched in butter" yet the Polish are much more fit than most Americans.

OMG ITS NOT RUSSIAN DUMPLINGS. Its from Ruthenia not Russia! Always say Ruskie Dumplings as its own name.
Nice video but next time list the prices of the items so we can have an idea
Thanks for your comment and tip, so happy you liked the video. Will definitely think about it for future videos. As prices and menus change, on our full blog post we link to the restaurants directly. Many of the places have current menus and prices. Hope this helps :) You can see the blog post here: almostlanding.com/where-to-eat-in-krakow-poland/
Looks great but the audio is shocking.
These aren't Russian pierogi. These are Ruthenian pierogi. Ruthenia was part of Poland for a thousand years. Now it's Western Ukraine. You had a good trip but very calorific XD Milk Bar. The first milk bar, a snack bar serving vegetarian dishes based on milk, eggs and flour, was opened in Warsaw in 1896 by Stanisław Dłużewski (breeder, farmer and landowner). The bar was called "Nadświdrzańska Mleczarnia" and was located at Nowy Świat Street in Warsaw. The bar was profitable, and soon other entrepreneurs opened similar branches. Milk bar is a type of fast food restaurant in Poland, which spread in the period after World War I, and then spread on the other. Milk bars operate on the basis of home cooking. It's called milk "dairy", because the menu contains a large number of dairy products, as well as cereals, egg dishes (omelettes) and flour (cakes) less meat. In the 1950s, beer appeared in some milk bars. Visitors are attracted not only by home-made dishes, but also by the menu. Annually, from the state budget, about 9 million dollars are allocated to support dozens of milk bars in Poland. Therefore, but also thanks to the help of city authorities (cheap rent, free gas, electricity), prices in milk bars are really low: about 3-4 times lower than in the usual restaurant. At the end of the old Polish comedy "Miś". th-cam.com/video/JauDtDthLh0/w-d-xo.html
My student life was in milk bars. XD I miss the beef tongue in horseradish sauce. XDDDDDD Jewish cuisine in Polish style is interesting. This can be tasted in the Kazimierz district.
Czekałem, aż ktoś to wyjaśni. Ruś, nie Rosja

Potato pancakes had to be sprinkled with a little coarse sugar then they are the best, because the sauce is too bland. pancakes with sugar are the taste of childhood.
That sounds incredible, will try that next time!
This Russian song in the background during the filming of the pierogi festival is a bit missed/out of place. As I understand it was supposed to be a reference to ruskie pierogi, the problem is that ruskie pierogi (incorrectly translated into English as Russian dumplings) have nothing to do with Russia. In fact the adjective ruski (or in plural ruskie) comes from the noun Ruś, not Russia. And to be more precise, the name of pierogi ruskie comes from the name Ruś Czerwona (Ruthenia Rubra in latin) that is, from the name of the historical land located in northwestern Ukraine and in south-eastern Poland. If pierogi ruskie actually came from Russia then it would be called pierogi rosyjskie. Just a small clarification. ;) Other then that, it's pretty nice video. Cheers!
Hi Toto, thanks so much for your comment and the information and so happy you like the video :) Funnily enough, the song you mention was actually the live song playing by a band at the pierogi festival, we wanted to keep it in the video to give the feel of what it was like at the festival. We mention the Ruskie pierogi is also called 'Russian pierogi' as it was written like that in many menus in Krakow. But it's a shame we didn't clarify that this doesn't mean they are of Russian origin. So thanks for adding all this information to the comments :)

Ah I see, I thought you added this song during editing.

Honestly, many Poles are also convinced that the adjective 'ruskie' in the name of pierogi comes from Russia hence we can often see in the menu in the restaurants this name translated into English as Russian pierogi/dumplings. Another thing is that there is probably no English translation of the name 'Ruś'.
> But it's a shame we didn't clarify
Come on don't be a shame. ;) My comment by any means wasn't meant to make you feel ashamed. As I mentioned above, even many Poles are convinced that the name comes from the name Russia. I just wanted to share this linguistic curiosity.
Tengo hambre pero no se que pedir
:)
Ruskie pierogi is more like Ruthenian pierogi (not Russian). Ruthenia was once a part of Poland and comprised territories which nowadays lie in western Ukraine and sout-eastern Poland.
kurwa byliśmy raz ze znajomymi w krakowie, ten bar mleczny to kolejka jak do klubu 30 min stania masakra
jakby caly czas pierogi tylko jedli haha a golabki a bigos ...
My entire family, is from Poland, those long sandwiches, are by no means, in any way shape or form. You should get in contact with me, on Face Book: Evona A Grochowski, My mother can tell you what is and isn't traditional Polish Food! She is an awesome cook.
Thank you for your comment Evona, where in Poland is your family from? Thanks for the offer, next time we are in Poland we would love to hear from your mother what is and isn't traditional Polish food :)
Im hungry nouw
We loved Polish food :)
Zapiekanki traditional best with ketchup !
We will have to try this next time ;)
pranki festivall ;D
Zapraszamy na Mazury Ełk
it's not Polish music ... we don't play there haha !!! paddock
Hi Marcin, thanks for your comment. A few people have mentioned this, the music is from the live band playing at the festival.
"Pierogi ruskie" doesn't mean "Russian pierogi". It's "Ruthenian pierogi", as it originates from the Kievan Rus', not from Russia
No originaly is Chinese
To nie są zapienkaniki, tylko bagietka jak z biedronki. Prawdziwe zapiekanki są ze skawiny, awentualnie domowe
Hi There, Fellow Travellers! :-)
I want to give two recommendations, based on quality and taste more than popular claims. Remember that underneath are my SUBJECTIVE recommendations.
First: Zapiekanka (plural: Zapiekanki). Somehow, every time, even among locals, when I hear about Zapiekanka, okrąglak ("Rounded One"?) at Plac Nowy shows up, completely ignoring best place to have them. Don't know, why that happens, since at Plac Nowy they are using mediocre ingredients. They are equivalent of pizza made on top of shitty margherita, drown in many flavours. If you want superb quality zapiekanka, go to spot at Sienna Street, near Rynek. They will not cover it in many ingredients, but bread, cheese and mushrooms are great quality.
Second: Ice cream. Good Lood... They are very liked, but they rely heavily on unhealthy addictions in modern society. Sugar or taste boosters (unholy trinity is closed with salt). If every spoon of sugar and every pinch of booster gives you pleasure, then Good Lood is for you. I don't say they are giving them in big quantities, but they taste like they have too much. If you associate good strawberry ice cream with strawberries, cream and spoon of sugar mixed together, there is better place to go. If you prefer moderate amounts of sugar in any desserts (so contrary to what most confectionaries with mass production accustomed us to), choose ice cream from Starowiślna 83.
HI, thanks so much for your comment and tips. Will have to try the Zapiekanaka you mention next time we are in Krakow. We mention Starowiślna in our desserts in Krakow article (almostlanding.com/best-desserts-in-krakow-poland/), along with Good Lood, both completely different, but we enjoyed them both :) Thanks again!
STOP RIGHT THERE. Did you just call oscypek"just smoked cheese"? That's like calling the Big Ben just a clock, or calling the statue of liberty just as metal statue. Oscypek is the ultimate prime super duper cheese of the polish mountains. Made with both goat and cow milk by special artisan crafters it is theeeeeeee cheese.
Do you like brie cheese? this is 100% better
haha we actually loved oscypek cheese so much! So much flavour, it definitely is prime super duper cheese ;)
Dobre bo POLSKIE
Pierogies originally are Chinese not polish russian or ukrainian
This is funny because Polish people do not eat so many pierogi as you guys...
One thing more: pierogi ruskie not rosyjskie...:)
haha yes we did have quite a few Pierogi!
Me watching this as I am Polish living in UK missing all that food, cant really stand british food as its awful.
We miss Polish food too... can't wait to visit again :) Whats the dish you miss the most?
Ps. Paczki and pączki are different things in Polish 😂
😅
Ile można jeść pierogi omg
As soon as this starts and you don't say pierogi like frog, its bullshit
KRAKÓW
Not russian dumplins the ruski people were ukraine
Raise and eat more beef in Poland.
Those sandwiches, are new, Not at all traditional,
That ridiculous bread pizza you bought is absolutely NOT Polish. Poles put catsup and peas on their pizza so you were sold some tourist version of pizza. 😆
07:05 fart
if woman saying do u wanna try it means she dosnt like it ...just sayin.
Haha Jacek I actually loved it :) We both just love trying everything!
Pierogi not pierogies!
Have you ever heared about sound edtiting? Thumb down.
Man those Polish words were soo butchered lol
No, no Russian!
Ignoranci. Jadę gdziekolwiek, to sprawdzam jak wymawia się rodzime słowa. A ci tu jeszcze kręcą filmik. No i słyszymy Kucznia i paczki. Żal.
russians pierogi doesn't exist !!!! Ruthenians... ok.
So boring
stop with pierogi , try other food
Hi Marek we love pierogi but we definitely tried and loved many other Polish dishes and food as you can see in this video :) What are your favourite Polish foods we should try next time?
try flaki soup (tripe) . ogurkowa (pickle soup) . pyzy (dumplings with meat ) . bigos (hunter stew ) , shabowy (schnitzel Polish way ) I am sure you will like it , accept tripe its really good but the word tripe my turn you off
@@marekszerenos8922 thanks so much for the tips, we loved Schabowy when we were in Poland but will have to try the rest next time we visit :)
@@almostlanding it's highly recommended to try "flaki", "pyzy z mięsem" and "bigos" (these are iconic polish dishes, just like pierogi). ;)
@@witekd.1021 Thanks, we will definitely try these next time :)
