Polish CHRISTMAS MARKET Food Tour in Krakow - Does POLAND have the BEST Christmas Markets in Europe?

[@HungryTwoTravel]

Hey everyone! Where's the best Christmas market in Europe? Thanks for watching! 🎄🧡😊

[@CharlesDrickens]

I've been to a few over the year's and I would have to say Germany has some pretty incredible xmas markets. But really, anywhere you go in Europe has amazing Christmas markets. Way better than what the U.S gets 😭

[@wiessiew9853]

Gdansk, Poland was voted #1 in Europe this year

[@peterkiedron8949]

Answer: Somewhere in Vienna. Poland's X-Markets are so so and for Poles they are just way too expensive.

[@wendyworobey9363]

I never had mulled beer until I was at the Christmas Market in Krakow. It is amazing! I tried to make it at home, but my hand was different than that of the market and it wasn't as good. I will have to travel back to have more.

[@Panycafecito77]

I've never considered visiting Poland's Christmas markets, but I'm adding it to my list! Another plus is that it's not as crowded as the German ones. 🤩🎄🇵🇱

[@piotr7805]

Don't hesitate too long as they're getting more popular each year, though thankfully still far from being overcrowded. 😊 Merry Christmas!

[@HungryTwoTravel]

The Christmas markets in Poland are definitely worth a visit! Much less crowded and full of local treats, we've had a blast 😊 we hope you do too if you visit! 🎄

[@nathangrueber9834]

​@@HungryTwoTravelwhat do you cook when your not traveling?

[@HungryTwoTravel]

@nathangrueber9834 we cook a lot is different things to be honest, meat with different sides like rice or salad, sometimes we'll make more involved dishes, it just depends :)

[@nathangrueber9834]

@HungryTwoTravel do you get inspired or are you so used to travelling you would rather eat out?

[@paularound4876]

Absolutely loved the video,guys!! Not only did you show us the delicious Polish food, but you shared the Christmas atmosphere of the Market 🎅🎄 ! What an incredible experience 👏!

[@HungryTwoTravel]

We're so happy you felt the Christmas spirit! It's a lovely market and the history of the buildings really add to the atmosphere. Thanks for the comment and for watching 😊🧡🎄

I did a girls Christmas market trip and went to Wrocław and krakow and Poland just blew me away! So gorgeous!

[@HungryTwoTravel]

That sounds so much fun!! Poland is such a beautiful country, especially at Christmas time. Sounds like you guys had a blast!

[@sejabop]

Just found you guys! Please keep the videos coming! I love that you take your tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime with the food because that is my favorite part in travel channels and most people zip right past it. Thank you for what you do!!

[@HungryTwoTravel]

Awe thank you so much, we're so glad you found us too! We agree, we enjoy the food and like to take our time doing just that ;) We hope you continue to like our videos, because there's more on their way! Thanks again, Seja!

[@shakawhenthewallsfell8570]

That big ol' hunk of bread with lard and sausage seriously made me drool a bit. Oh, how I miss a slice of great, fresh, Polish bread with a layer or lard with pork bits in it...

[@HungryTwoTravel]

It was honestly so good 😋 we've dreamt about it since then!!

[@rondapearlman7916]

Hey guys! Merry Christmas, I LOVED this video. You're so right, Europe at Christmas is like the best place in the whole world. I would love to visit someday, but it was awesome to see it from you guys, thanks for the video.

[@HungryTwoTravel]

Right?! It's truly a magical place, we hope you can visit someday! Merry Christmas to you too, so happy you enjoyed our video :)

Prawdziwe sery "oscypki" robi się z sera owczego, natomiast barszcz podaje się z małymi pierogami "uszka" lub z nadziewanymi krokietami ( pierogi i krokiety z reguły nadziewane są mięsem lub kapustą z grzybami ).

[@HungryTwoTravel]

👍

[@CharlesDrickens]

Merry Christmas to you both! Hope you are enjoying the holidays and have some time off to enjoy Christmas. I love watching Christmas market videos to see how other countries celebrate. Poland looks stunning and what an awesome market to visit. The only thing missing is some snow I think! 😂 The food looked delicious, especially that big piece of bread, pork lard goes with anything in my books! Another wonderful video, enjoy Poland and Europe and have a Merry Christmas!

[@HungryTwoTravel]

Merry Christmas Charles and thanks so much for the kind words! We're so glad you enjoyed the video! Christmas markets in Europe are always so nice and yes haha all it was missing was the snow . We hope you have a wonderful Christmas and enjoy the holidays. Have some lard on toast for us 😉🤤😋

It's a pity that they sell red borscht and don't have croquettes with mushrooms or cabbage and mushrooms. The combination of red borscht with bread is definitely strange. I love mulled beer, best with honey. As a child I used to get 2-3 sips of such beer from my daddy. The Polish tradition of mulled beer is an old tradition originating from the Middle Ages (then strong root beer was drunk) and from the Polish climate (earlier, even when I was a teenager, from very cold winters). In the past, the temperature in Polish winters oscillated on average around -6 or -8 °C and often below -10 °C (sometimes there were such frosts that trees cracked from the frost, the crack was as loud as a cannon shot, I heard it twice in my childhood), so Poles had to warm up with something. I think that mulled beer is an exclusive Polish tradition because I have not heard of anyone else drinking warm beer with additives, or even with honey (which not only has a warming effect on the body, but the flavonoids (bioactive molecules) contained in natural honey have a strong antioxidant effect, thanks to which prevent damage to immune cells. has a beneficial effect on the production of lymphocytes, i.e. the most important cells in our immune system, i.e. in building natural immunity and preventing and treating infections. Hence, in Poland, mulled beer.Very nice film.Greetings to you

[@HungryTwoTravel]

Thanks so much for watching and for commenting 😊 the mulled beer was very unique but delicious!

Love the Xmas markets vibes 😊merry Xmas to both of you enjoy your holidays 😘

Thanks so much for watching, Merry Christmas to you too 😊🎄

[@dr.stevenpennym.d.3241]

You should have gotten Zurek soup... That is the most popular soup in the winter time in Poland.

[@HungryTwoTravel]

Yes! We will definitely try it while we're here still 😊

[@fktw98]

barszcz czerwony (z uszkami) is a typical chrismas soup though

[@dr.stevenpennym.d.3241]

@fktw98 Yes, but Zurek is so good.

[@fktw98]

@@dr.stevenpennym.d.3241 true, i do love barszcz the most though haha

How blessed yous are I am Polish and while I served my country was allowed to visit Germany for a couple of years my jobs security clearance would not allow me to visit Poland and I don't want to hear any comments from the peanut gallery one of my principal duties was to revoke clearances why violations of the personal code of conduct under the national security act were violated that being said I was never able to visit the homeland of my ancestors for national security reasons so thank you for your visit it is probably the closest I will ever get to seeing it thank you

[@HungryTwoTravel]

We're sorry to hear you haven't been able to get back to Poland. We're glad our video could take you back there through the Christmas market 🧡🎄 we wish you all the best

I've been to Krakow market at Christmas time and usually there's a lot more people. I wonder where all the people are?

[@HungryTwoTravel]

There have been some busy days at the market, but we filmed this during the week, not on a weekend and it was much less busy 😉 thanks for watching!

[@dariuszrudzki4095]

First dish - "Oscypek" cheese is traditionally made from sheep's milk.

[@MICHALMALACHOVSKY]

WOW WOW WOW !!!

[@HungryTwoTravel]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@dr.stevenpennym.d.3241]

In the main square there's a famous chocolate shop. I'm surprised you did not show the audience the chocolate shop

[@HungryTwoTravel]

We were just focusing on the Christmas market itself ;)

[@dr.stevenpennym.d.3241]

@HungryTwoTravel it's 20 steps away from the market. You missed one of the nicest chocolate stores in Europe

[@HungryTwoTravel]

Don't worry! We've visited it since then, but this video was strictly about the Christmas market.

[@liberatogarcellano2777]

I enjoy watching your video. What is the title of your opening christmas jingle?

[@HungryTwoTravel]

Thank you so much, so happy you enjoyed it 😊 the song is called "Christmas with Me"

[@liz3017]

Yes, I have been watching various European Christmas markets, and they all seem beautiful-unlike the US ones! But my Polish side is going, "Where are the Pierogies!" Lol. The only time of year I get to enjoy homemade pierogies from my Dad's family is Christmas Eve, along with our cabbage soup.

[@HungryTwoTravel]

We have to agree, the Christmas markets in Europe are seriously the best in the world! As for pierogi, unfortunately the price of them is pretty crazy at the Christmas market, so instead we got them in our next video at a more local place ;) check it out kzbin.info/www/bejne/iofRnJ9_ZcuBp6csi=3AvekNqsNVwp5mf4

[@jaklg7905]

Pierogi is already plural. There is no word "pierogies".

[@shuttze]

This cheese you got is not the real thing. They make it so it looks like the traditional oscypek but the real one is made out of sheeps milk or a mix of sheep and cow. If You want to try the real one its avaiable only from may to september due to sheep grazing in these months. Thats why they don't call it oscypek I guess. Cheers and merry christmas.

[@HungryTwoTravel]

Yes you're right, we're aware of the difference but thanks for the info 😉 this cheese they don't advertise as the oscypek, just as goralski. Thanks a lot for watching and commenting!

OMG, Barszcz with bread !!! NO !!!!! We drink barszcz with a croquet of meat or a croquet with vegetables called "krokiet" or with little dumplings called "uszka"

[@tomekville7]

😄 Im polish and I would dip it too

[@piotr7805]

If you end up eating soup with bread, you dip it: barszcz, jarzynowa, grzybowa, pomidorowa - all polish soups love some dipped bread in them.

[@HungryTwoTravel]

Yes! You've gotta dip the bread for sure 😋

[@EA00000]

Actually Krakow market is the most expensive market in Poland and definitely not the best ! Better to go Warsaw Gdańsk or Poznan

[@HungryTwoTravel]

We'd definitely like to check out some of the other markets next year, there's just too many to visit!

[@damiank7979]

1.Gdansk, 2. Wroclaw, 3. Poznan or Katowice.

[@marcin4612]

Jedzenie tragicznej jakości a ceny wysokie

[@MartaAdrian-gg8ue]

A im wszystko smakuje,nie jedli nigdy chyba prawdziwej polskiej kuchni.

[@maqic1979]

this food market to be honest is one big scam place, very midle quality food for huge money, only for turist and it shouldnt be like that, the lady who baking mointains chess on grill even say that the ches are not real oscypek mointain chese hahahaha so i recomend christmas market in krakow just for walk and go to buy good food somewhere else like we do i mean local people

[@HungryTwoTravel]

The market is definitely something to see and experience, with some things being quite a bit more expensive than others. You've got to watch what you buy, but for anyone visiting Krakow it's a wonderful experience!
