I don't know Poznań, so I won't tell you anything about it :) But I will tell you an anecdote about the salad you ate: cucumbers with cream. In Polish we call it "mizeria", and the name apparently comes from the fact that the wife of our king Sigismund the Old (16th century), who was Italian, when she came to Poland, asked what vegetable dishes we had. And she got just that, and then she grabbed her head and screamed, "Oh God, what misery!" And "misery" in Italian is "miseria" :) It is to Bona Sforza that we owe the introduction of various vegetables from her homeland to the royal court, even their names in Polish are often derived from Italian.
That's such a great story. It's also comforing to know that some Polish words are close to Italian. I speak Spanish, so I usually can understand some Italian. Gracias a la Reina Italiana.
@@TravelAddictGuy Thank you for your answer. Due to the cultural and political history of our country, Polish has many loanwords from other languages: German in the area of construction and bourgeoisie; Czech when it comes to vocabulary related to the church, French when it comes to customs and behavior, Italian - when it comes to architecture and vegetables, but also Russian due to the fact that in the 19th century a significant part of Poland was under their rule, and then due to Soviet times. And now, of course, English dominates, as it does all over the world.
The square looks amazing now. Maybe because I had Schnitzel with lemon before. Had me wanting for this flavor. I will say that this Polish version is better than German Schnitzel.
The original recipe for this Schnitzel and Schabowy comes from italy. It was "Cotolette de Milanese" that hundred years ago formulated the idea for a pork steak. Snitzel interpretation made the original concept thiner. Polish schabowy came up with an idea to make it thicker and juicier. Having done a thunder comparisons many times over I can confidently say that Polish Schabowy is the best variation for this pork steak. Lemon is served in the Colette de Milanese, Schabowy and Schnitzel as default or on demand. It is just a matter of asking. I personally never apply it.
So it's the Polish version of an Italian dish. That is quite interesting. I would agree that it's better than Schnitzel. It's wonderful and filling comfort food. 🇵🇱👏
On that street where you found that american dinery, you just missed the best schabowy in that area - its called Schabowy u dziadka. The place looks like a cheap dining place, however the food is much better and more home-like than in all these fancy and much more expensive restaurants. Maybe next time. ;) As for that Hyćka restaurant, there is a second one closer to Old Town on Świety Marcin street as far as I remember. They serve local cusine from that region, however in more fancy style, but still close to original one.
Obrys historycznej zabudowy - Outline of the historic buildings. Tenement houses stood there before the war but were not rebuilt. The museum buildings were built here in the 1960s.
"Kotlet schabowy" is a dish from the times of socialism. It's a poor-man's Wiener Schnitzel. In gastronomy at that time, what mattered was not the quality but the so-called grammage. The dish had to be of a certain weight. So the veal was replaced with cheaper pork, and in order to save on meat, enormous amounts of breadcrumbs were added to keep the weight consistent. Many dishes were created in such a way to use as little meat as possible while weighing as little as possible. In the planned economy, there were always shortages and meat, especially veal, was primarily intended for export.
There are many dishes that were created during poor times that are now staples in many countries. It's really a great comforting dish, even though it came from hard times. Thanks for sharing.
Only a few people, early in the morning? You should get yourself a Polish friend in each city who would explain a few things to you, so you will get a much better experience.
Hi Kerry, Thank you for another great vlog from my beautiful homeland. Yes, the U.S. has really went downhill these past several years, and it's very maddening and disheartening to say the least. Seems like Trump is our only hope for now. Trying to make the best of it while I can. Cheers from Florida(Sunshine, beautiful weather and nature make life a little better) -Mark
What is happening to the USA is quite maddening and shocking to say the least. That is a big reason why I chose to move to Europe in the first place. Florida is for sure a beautiful state, with lot's to enjoy and a solid Governor. Thanks so much for being a channel member. I'm so glad that you're enjoying the content from Poland. 🙏🏻

@@jarosawklejnocki6633 This is really helpful, as I'm trying my best to learn basic Polish.
Great video. Glad to see another video from Poznan. I plan to move there in a few years from the states.
Oh awesome, it's great to see how they are renovating much of the city. That will be a great time to live in Poznan. Best of luck to you.
Thankyou my friend
Nice to see you here. 🙏
That square looks very nice now it's finished. Food looked good too, you might be right on the lemon, but it's a matter of taste. Thanks for sharing.

@@TravelAddictGuy Yes. However surprising it sounds, the original pork steak was invented by Italians in Milan.
Na zdrowie i smacznego!
Dziekuje. 🙏

Czy przyjedziesz zwiedzić Kościerzynę? Serce Kaszub
It sounds interesting.
@@TravelAddictGuy you won't be disapointed (i hope so)
Historical shape of old city. Residual old wall bricks left on ground level.
I like how they've preserved the history.
Yeah, there’s a slice of lemon 🍋 or cucumber 🥒 salad, but not both at the same time
Ok, I'm used to putting lemon and olive oil on salads. The cucumber salad is delicious.
Tyskie means from Tychy. Tychy this town name near Katowice.
I didn't know that. 🍻👌
@@TravelAddictGuy Polska polskie, Wrocław wrocławskie and so on...😉
Strange a lot of Polish restaurants in Poznan.
Well it is Poland. 😁

I can't blame you. That was a beautiful looking dish. 😋🇵🇱

If anyone is willing to volunteer, I would love to do this!
Hi TAG, awesome video. Let me know why you left the United States in your next video.. thanks.., b safe.
Thanks, that will be an upcoming video. There is another one coming up from Poznan.

Poseidon and Neptune is the same God but differ in origin (Roman or Greek) :D
Good to know, I guess I was right either way then. 😁

I've been to Lodz already.
Just noticed my comment go shadowbanned. Not nice, YT!
Certain words get filtered by the YT algorithm.

For $10 you get a nasty hamburger in the US, and no beer.
Exactly, or a watered down beer.
