Thank you for not calling them "Russian" pierogi!! So many people make that mistake.. As they are not Russian, they're from a town that used to belong to Poland at the time called Rusy

A little Histori about Polish donuts - centuries ago donuts were stuffed with pig fat and various meat were consumed on Thursday and fasting on Friday. At that time, fasting in Poland was very restrictive. Today it is served sweet and is called Fat Thursday. Poles are occupying all bakeries and pastry shops at that time.
11:08 - "kurna chata" means "cottage with no chimney", it'a a primitive kind of cottage. In Poland some people - when they don't want to use the word "kurwa" (which is a very heavy curse!) just say: "kurna!", exactly the same way Americans say "darn!" instead of "damn!". Some poeple in Poland add "chata", what makes no sense, but that's how it is :)
the origin of this saying is a song written during the communist times 'a mi sie marzy kurna chata" It is about a guy that dreams about having his own place
@Jack and Gab Explore "kurna chata" means literally "smoky cottage" (from old "kurzyć" - "to smoke / reek") - it's a cottage w/o chimney, where the smoke went outside via a hole in the roof... In general, you can't trust any machine translation (like Google Translate) when it comes to translate from Polish into English...
Hi. One advice, in Poland we should never eat with head cover. My grandmom would punch you to your head iff you sit into the table to eat, with head cover. Anyway, nice vid. Cheers
My grandparents were Polish. I lived with them as a child. You NEVER wore a hat while eating! I am 65 years old and STILL won't eat with a hat on to this day.
Inside bread is no soup, but Bigos, and it have nothing to do with hunter stew, but if that makes it easier for you to describe it sure thing. But you should call this Bigos, and real Bigos is something very special only for Slavic countrys and comes from poland, and takes 3 days to cook. Its known from Kings party where citisens outside the castle made a big container pot of clay where they cooked 2 types of cabbage and added meat leftovers from kings party. On third day the clay pot was cracked open and there was plenty of delicious food for everyone.
Hey guys great to see you again. You really must do more videos soon. Really like them. Never been to Poland but you did a fantastic job on selling it. Huge foodie here too lol. Stay safe and catch up again when we get back from Bulgaria in a few weeks time.
Kurna chata is like a willage house back in a days. Centuries ago in Poland tax was collecting basing on the count of chimneys. The more chimneys in a house the higher tax you pay. Many people back then, specially thouse poor on the countryside decided to biuld a houses without a chimneys to avoid paying taxes. They want to burn fire inside the houses disregarding the fact that there were no chimney. Thouse houser soaked out the smoke throught the roof. That is the origin of the word "kurna" which means like smokey. "Chata" means old/cheap house.
I can be wrong but I think you'll find a lot of restaurants in Poland have slow service. Polish people don't go to restaurants as often, it's more of a special occasion. On top of that a lot of people connect slow service with freshly prepared foods, and not microwaved or reheated.
Cucumbers: lactofermented - "kiszone" - be sure that they are hard not mushy and without mold. They are great with some spicy meat like kielbasa; "małosolne" - less fermented, more marinated in herbs (garlic) and salt. I'm not sure if they're polish but they are worth trying especially for their distinct taste and crunchiness. You will find them at bazar (prepare some cash). Near main square you can find gingerbread shop where you can buy sour and dry version of gingerbread distinct from famous Toruń gingerbread which are more wet and honey (or hard as rock). This could apply more to Krakow region but cabbage stewed with meat is incredibly flavorful.
Other way with Ruskies, Spinach and possibly with "hunter stew" pierogi is to fry some bacon, onions on the side and when you serve it, crumble cold white cheese and top it with bacon and onions. Hot stuffing contrasts really nice with cold cheese.
OMGOSH! I grew up eating all of those foods! And seeing this made me sooooooo hungry! Now I'm going to have to do some cooking this weekend! Thanks alot! hahaha 😂
Polish cakes are amazingggggg... and food what you call organic - we call it normal...just tast like should...ps in Poland no one uses AC ..we just got heating system for winter..- these red barszcz is a bit poor version as normally you have parts of the veg in it and is soure..
@3:46 "Pierogarnia Stary Mlyn" means Old Mill Pierogi Bar. @6:37 I'm surprised! You've found a traditional BUT exclusively local dish called "Pyry z gzikiem". Pyry means potatoes in a local city dialect and gzik is the name of a sauce/dip made of a cottage cheese, sour cream, salt, onion, radish etc. I'm surprised because... it's a local dish from Poznań (north of Poland), not Wrocław. It's barely known outside Poznań.

Lmao please don't trust Google Translate XD "Kurna chata" refers to a very old type of house that was common in Slavic regions before the 20th century; it was basically just a small cottage without a chimney in which smoke from the hearth would escape via a hole in the topmost part of the roof. I can see how Google could've got it wrong, since "kurna" also happens to be a mild swearword, but that is not (I presume) what the restaurant had in mind when picking the name XD
If at all possible, please make your own homemade pierogi. It's not that hard but it's time consuming. Pick a cold rainy day and try making them at home. Nothing like homemade. My favorite pierogi are sour kraut with caramelized onions and finely chopped sauteed mushrooms. Also love the farmer cheese. Many of these videos call it cottage cheese, but it's actually farmer cheese. They are similar but very different.
4:35 You're talking about the Ukrainian borscht here, it has pieces of cabbage and other chopped vegetables inside. This is the Polish borscht, which is basically made of fermented/marinated beetroot juice.
Nope many places in the Balkans don't take credit card, which is where we spent all summer traveling! So it was a nice change of pace :) Even many places in Brno in the Czech Republic were cash only!
@@JackandGabExplore well Poland maybe not the greatest in many ways, but when it comes to payment technologies, we are world superpower ;) Fast and easy, even in most market places.

There are two types of barszcz first is the one you have with croissant or with uszka and the second is made with pices of beetroot, veggies or potatos and with sour cream.
Not bad... But i prefer "hungarian style potato pancakes" with dark sauce with mushrooms (borowiki), hot paprika/chilli and beef bites, That's something... "Yummy":)
I went to the donut place this past October it W FANTASTIC!! Great city! Stayed a couple nights..Had 3 days did cathedral island.I also can highly recommend the Selfie cafe...u can have ur self image put on top of your coffee!🙂
There's two style of borsch, regular with chunks, and "czysty" (clean) which is strained and usually served as a drink with solid food as opposed to a soup course on its own.
It was "Pyra with a Gzik". Pyra - potato, Gzik - cottage cheese. "Potatoes with cottage cheese" typical of the Wielkopolska region. Potatoes can be baked or cooked. Bigos(Hunter stew) is a mixture of sauerkraut and white cabbage with the addition of several sausages and several types of meats(venison is the best), forest mushrooms, dried fruit and red wine. You have to cook it for several days. That's why you won't eat real hunter stew in a restaurant. Modern sanitary law prohibits such food preparation.
Błędne, gdyż prawdziwe pyry z gzikiem + olej lniany. To tradycyjne w Wielkopolsce. No i pyry w mundurkach parowane. Ale to tylko mogą zaznać u kogoś żadnej restauracji.
@@sebeksebek1706 Wielkopolska to duży region, różnice są czasem całkiem spore. Więc z tym „tylko tak” lepiej nie przesadzać. Moja babcia na przykład mówiła, że to są „pyry z gziką”. Ciekawe, czy też będziesz podważał cokolwiek. :D
Thanks for nice film! It is great to watch you to relax a bit. Poland is the country of soups. That is what positively differenciate us from let us say Germany or Britain. Main dishes are rather on the fat side but this not Mediterean sunny Riviera but Eastern Europe with chilly climate. Stay healthy and keep travelling!
You have to check out others much more famous foods, two only, it calls: flaki, and other one calls: Tatar. Try them as a challenge, best luck, worm hugs guys, good to have you in my town 😙
Too bad you didn't taste the soup "żurek" ("ż" soudns like: "J" at french name "Jean") - its base is... fermented flour (the so-called 'leaven' used by good bakers to make bread). Does it sound terrible? But believe me - "heaven in the mouths". It is served in hollow bread, with a hard egg, white sausage, fried onion, potatoes, and lots of marjoram.
@@mirosawolejnik8005 Silesian=Polish even if Germans during WW2 promoted the idea that it is separate nation... on top of that Żurek is West Slavic dish popular even in Belarus(most likely because its POLISH history!).
@@Bialy_1 Sielsian is mixed with Czech, Polish German and local culture. Parts of SIlesia are in Czech Republic. ANd Germans neer tried to separate Silesians as nations- they try germanize us. Ps. Dlaczego piszemy do siebie po angielsku?
Next time try out uszka with borscht. Uszka are like mini pierogies. Diping in borscht makes them great. And having chance to eat żurek in bread and don't do it is just... I don't know how to call it. Go back and eat it. Best of the best soups ever made.
Did you guys try the galareta? It looks disgusting but it tastes awesome. Also, tartare is pretty famous in Poland if you're into it. Happy you had a good experience at Kurna Chata because even though it used to be a top place in Wrocław lately it's been more hit and miss. A pity you didn't go to Setka! The best place in the city BY FAR, in my opinion. Cheap, traditional Polish food in a really cool "workers" Soviet-styled bar. The ribs there are crazy good.
The "kurna" word has 2 meanings, first it's a lighter version of "kur*a" which your google translate told you and the second it's like "chickeny" which was used in the name of the restaurant.
There are some many varations of dounuts everywhere in world that hard to chose whats best. I like gummy kind of;) with pudding inside.Our food isnt well knows as French or Italian but best is always where u from right?sry for weather ,autumn starts,worst part of year

As a Polish i underestimated polish food up to now and always thought we cook too fat in compare to italian or french. But its really nice to hear so kind words.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie was. I zapraszam was do innych miast miasteczek ,również kawał historii i kultury polskiej i slowianskiej. I co najważniejsze za mniejsze pieniadze
it's probably worth mentioning than quite often the original Polish donuts are fried in lard so not exactly halal or kosher for those concerned in that department
Kurna chata is "an ancient, primitive hut, with a concave floor, plank walls, devoid of chimney and smoke evacuation pipes." When the fire started in it (the hearth was most often in the middle of the cottage), smoke escaped through the hole at the highest point of the roof. Word "kurna" in the phrase "kurna chata" means 'smoky' and should be combined with the verb dust, meaning 'smoke'. It has nothing to do with word "damn" 😄 Well, google translator... what can you do? 😜
@@JackandGabExplore Dollar symbol at the front of the price reflected in Polish currency doesn't make any sense and is just a misleading factor. $ - it's a symbol of currency as well as PLN. What you have done is basically the same sort of mistake as: $100€. In fact I initially thought that you provided total sum from your receipt and then price per person. Furthermore I noticed what it really was. Even if your bank statements show it this way it's probably due to the glitch in the bank software and shouldn't be showed this way in your video.

Bigos(Hunter stew) is a mixture of sauerkraut and white cabbage with the addition of several sausages and several types of meats(venison is the best), forest mushrooms, dried fruit and red wine. You have to cook it for several days. That's why you won't eat real hunter stew in a restaurant. Modern sanitary law prohibits such food preparation.
Super interesting! The Hunter's Stew we tried in the restaurant was pretty good, so we'd be curious to see how much better the homemade version is!
@@JackandGabExplore Way way way better. Not comparable to restaurant bigos.
Błędne, gdyż prawdziwe pyry z gzikiem + olej lniany. To tradycyjne w Wielkopolsce. No i pyry w mundurkach parowane. Ale to tylko mogą zaznać u kogoś żadnej restauracji.
@@sebeksebek1706 Wielkopolska to duży region, różnice są czasem całkiem spore. Więc z tym „tylko tak” lepiej nie przesadzać. Moja babcia na przykład mówiła, że to są „pyry z gziką”. Ciekawe, czy też będziesz podważał cokolwiek. :D
Thanks for nice film! It is great to watch you to relax a bit.
Poland is the country of soups. That is what positively differenciate us from let us say Germany or Britain. Main dishes are rather on the fat side but this not Mediterean sunny Riviera but Eastern Europe with chilly climate.
Stay healthy and keep travelling!
Cold weather is usually much better for foodtesting. Capacity grows... :)
We like this theory ;)
Ja jestem zazdrosny ❤
You eat tatar (row beef with egg, onion and cucumber) and śledź (row fish in cream).
Very fucking tasty ;) Polish food really yummy .have fun .pozdrawiam
Barszcz in Poland typicaly is without add ons (on Christmas Eve u add Uszka). Its taste does the job :)
You have to check out others much more famous foods, two only, it calls: flaki, and other one calls: Tatar.
Try them as a challenge, best luck, worm hugs guys, good to have you in my town 😙
Too bad you didn't taste the soup "żurek" ("ż" soudns like: "J" at french name "Jean") - its base is... fermented flour (the so-called 'leaven' used by good bakers to make bread). Does it sound terrible? But believe me - "heaven in the mouths". It is served in hollow bread, with a hard egg, white sausage, fried onion, potatoes, and lots of marjoram.
He is right. Best polish soup. Well, actuall Silesian, but still :)
I'm Polish but I never really liked żurek
@@e-czl Becasue you never ate mine :)
@@mirosawolejnik8005 Silesian=Polish even if Germans during WW2 promoted the idea that it is separate nation... on top of that Żurek is West Slavic dish popular even in Belarus(most likely because its POLISH history!).
@@Bialy_1 Sielsian is mixed with Czech, Polish German and local culture. Parts of SIlesia are in Czech Republic. ANd Germans neer tried to separate Silesians as nations- they try germanize us. Ps. Dlaczego piszemy do siebie po angielsku?
Super, but -
In Poland, we take off our cap while eating
Glad you like it ...Polish food taste so good
You pronounce the city name properly - great! :)
Next time try out uszka with borscht. Uszka are like mini pierogies. Diping in borscht makes them great.
And having chance to eat żurek in bread and don't do it is just... I don't know how to call it. Go back and eat it. Best of the best soups ever made.
There is farmer cheese,they don't use cottage cheese.
How do you like Poland?
Can you recommend to the others?
Did you guys try the galareta? It looks disgusting but it tastes awesome. Also, tartare is pretty famous in Poland if you're into it. Happy you had a good experience at Kurna Chata because even though it used to be a top place in Wrocław lately it's been more hit and miss. A pity you didn't go to Setka! The best place in the city BY FAR, in my opinion. Cheap, traditional Polish food in a really cool "workers" Soviet-styled bar. The ribs there are crazy good.
Well done guys, all the best.
The "kurna" word has 2 meanings, first it's a lighter version of "kur*a" which your google translate told you and the second it's like "chickeny" which was used in the name of the restaurant.
Oh wow those donuts and the pierogies looked amazing 😍
And they taste amazing too
'pierogi' are already plural. If You want single one it's 'pieróg'. so no 'es' at the end;)
Kurna chata is a primitive simple hut with wooden walls and without hard floor and chimney .
There are some many varations of dounuts everywhere in world that hard to chose whats best. I like gummy kind of;) with pudding inside.Our food isnt well knows as French or Italian but best is always where u from right?sry for weather ,autumn starts,worst part of year
Absolutely. Nothing like home!
Very delicious bread and very good your idea content
Great video, J&G. That food looked amazing!! For some strange reason, those Pierogi looked even better than the
*Mrs.T 's®* Four Cheese Medley I had the other night!!😀 "Where-Oh-claw" :-)
is DEFINITELY a beautiful place!! I think that Polish city names should be included in American Spelling 🐝 Bees!! That would make for some interesting TV.
PS What part of 'Murica are you from? If you don't want to divulge that, that's cool.
PPS As a simple Polish-Amurican, I, of course, hit the LIKE👍 button!!
Woohoo! So glad that you enjoyed! We've been living in San Diego, California for the past few years but Jack is originally from Kansas City, MO and I'm from Saratoga Springs, NY. We met in South Carolina so we've lived all over the U.S.!
@@JackandGabExplore
Thanks for the background info. It's not too often when you can work NY, SD, KC and SC into the same conversation; pretty cool!! ALL NICE places ,with the best pizza🍕,weather and BBQ, respectively, in Amurica IMO. BTW, I'm a "" Pole-'Murican " from DC(Go ⚾Nats 😀!!) who's as jelly as Pączki filling that you've been to Poland and I haven't!! I definitely gotta make it happen in 2020!!
PS I slapped the subscribe button with my favorite Pierogi fork!!
You guys are amazing 😁💟
Next time visit Włodowica street where you can find many different food styles. I guess next time you have to be at least 7 days to visit all the good places with food, not only in the tourist area. Have a safe trip.
Guys, 6:01 is place where people usually finish party😂😂😂
As a Polish i underestimated polish food up to now and always thought we cook too fat in compare to italian or french. But its really nice to hear so kind words.
Being Polish is great because of the buildings and history including FOOD
Na placu Bema niedaleko rynku najlepsze lody w miescie. The ice cream the best on Plaza Bema not to far from downtown. Pozdrowienia z Edmonton Kanada
Pozdrawiam serdecznie was. I zapraszam was do innych miast miasteczek ,również kawał historii i kultury polskiej i slowianskiej. I co najważniejsze za mniejsze pieniadze
The read soop is called BARSZCZ we eat it łyf pierogi on Christmas som times 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱
it's probably worth mentioning than quite often the original Polish donuts are fried in lard so not exactly halal or kosher for those concerned in that department
there are 2 types of borscht the plain one with nothing inside and the one with pieces of egg, beet and other foods
You should try "flaczki" or "czernina" because these are Polish delicacies.💋
Czerni a is very traditional but also very uncommon. Never tried it in my life.
Agent Provocateur. :P
flaczki are nice
I used to eat on weekends at Stary Młyn.
Kurna chata is "an ancient, primitive hut, with a concave floor, plank walls, devoid of chimney and smoke evacuation pipes." When the fire started in it (the hearth was most often in the middle of the cottage), smoke escaped through the hole at the highest point of the roof. Word "kurna" in the phrase "kurna chata" means 'smoky' and should be combined with the verb dust, meaning 'smoke'. It has nothing to do with word "damn" 😄 Well, google translator... what can you do? 😜
Hahahaha so funny. Google translate is the worst!
@@JackandGabExplore ikr 🤣
Just curiouse if you have something left of food. Do they pack it in poland to go? For me usually its much in most Restraunts.
w Łodzi mamy wiele ciekawych specjałów kulinarnych. takie najbardziej łódzkie to chyba zalewajka i pampuchy.
You should try krokiety z barszsciem
I appreciate fact that you are doing your best to pronounce WROCŁAW correctly
. Not WRO-CLAW like most of Americans :P
Ach! Przedwojenna (Prewar), love it! Made in the style of 1920s (Interbellum) period. Cheap, dirty, local and awesome. :D
Wrocław nie było polski xD przed wojną

Each price is calculated from Polish Dollars to American Dollars :)
Yes we converted them since we're from the U.S. so that's how the charges show up on our credt cards :)
@@JackandGabExplore are they? Is there dollar sign next to Polish price?
@@andrzejp4439 They didn't get it
Polish złoty not polish dollars lol
@@JackandGabExplore Dollar symbol at the front of the price reflected in Polish currency doesn't make any sense and is just a misleading factor. $ - it's a symbol of currency as well as PLN. What you have done is basically the same sort of mistake as: $100€. In fact I initially thought that you provided total sum from your receipt and then price per person. Furthermore I noticed what it really was. Even if your bank statements show it this way it's probably due to the glitch in the bank software and shouldn't be showed this way in your video.
Love pączki with rose jam
Hi.Greetings from Poland😎😘
Super film. May You send the Film on Facebook and TV ?
Jak oceniacie Polskie jedzenie w skali od 1 do 10?? ;)
How do you rate Polish food? on a scale of 1 to 10?;)
Watching a video about foreigners enjoying Polish food, as one does...
Mmm, pączki.
Hey, is that a Vegas Golden Knights hat? Go Knights, you're my only hope this year.
I feel a sudden yearning for Pyry z gzikiem, I wonder why...
This hunting stew is Bigos, known already in the Middle Ages among the Polish nobility - a snack at the end of hunting, also eaten by kings.
That around doughnut with convection sugar is PACZEK I AM SURE you have it in US I know I live in connecticut for 27 years SMACZNEGO .U gays have to go to RZESZOW to try ZAPIEKANKI do uslyszenia take care sebastian
Zapiekanki are everywhere throughout Poland. Also I think you meant to say "guys" not "gays" 😂😂
Apart from good nutrition in Poland, I have a question. did you feel safe in Poland and did you not notice any "you're not at home" problems? Nobody even insulted you with a word?
