Is Polish VEGETARIAN Food Any Good? 🇵🇱

[@yakeosicki8965]

You don't know it. Warsaw is in the top 3 vegan cities in the world in various rankings. It's surpassed only by London and Los Angeles. Enter vegan food Warsaw.

[@WITYTRAVELS]

We had great vegetarian food when in Warsaw!

Gotta love the prices in Poland, it's one of the countries where you really get value for money. The size of that Zapiekanka is staggering, that things is a meal in itself, can't imagine anyone still being hungry after that! It was nearly as long as my Rosso Corsa Ferrari. Another great video, you guys are nailing it in Poland!!

[@WITYTRAVELS]

Such great prices. Your Ferrari is quite a beast of a machine, but it doesn't taste as good as the zapiekanka! 😜

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

What a great variety of pierogies!

[@WITYTRAVELS]

Indeed!

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

I really want to try one of those giant zappy bready cheesy things!

[@WITYTRAVELS]

You NEED to. 😁😀

I just found out you guys went to Guatemala, my country, before coming to Poland, where I currently live. Great video and I’ve already subscribed 🙌🏽

[@WITYTRAVELS]

Thanks for the sub Jose! We loved our time in both Poland and Guatemala!

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

This video made us sooo hungry!! Now we want potato pancakes with sour cream🤤

[@WITYTRAVELS]

We do too!

[@wanderliciousvlog1]

I’m hungry now hehe. Awesome video 🤙🤙🤙

Thank you 😋

I am polish and vegetarian from 30 years already! 30 years ago and even 15 years was less place to choose but now there is tons of possiblities ! Very well prepared video!

[@WITYTRAVELS]

Seems to not be too many people who are full-time vegetarians in Poland, but for us it was nice to find so many tasty options. Thanks! ❤️🇵🇱

[@robertwisniewski2029]

@@WITYTRAVELS I read a few years ago that there are over a million vegetarians in Poland, most of them vegans, with a population of about 40 million. I've been a pescatarian myself for almost 30 years, although these days it's no longer considered a form of vegetarianism

[@margplsr3120]

@@WITYTRAVELS I found a news that 10 % of polish people are vegetarian and 6 % are vegan. To compare - France only 4 %, Germany 10 % too, Greece 4 % and Hungary 5 %

Potato pancakes!!! now you are speaking my love 😍 language ❤

[@WITYTRAVELS]

Poland is definitely considered a first class place and the prices are very reasonable plus all the wonderful food and drinks makes poland an excellent choice of places to visit and we also love all the humble people and their families I cannot speak polish but as long as you can see with your eyes then you can't go wrong all the people work so hard and we love the hospitality and caring so thank's again witytravels for sharing this wonderful experience from this beautiful country called poland 👏

I took one look at the thumbnail and realised that I needed to watch this video over lunch! Good choice, because everything looked so delicious and I could not watch that on an empty stomach!😂

So kompot it basically boiling dried fruit in water with some sugar...no juices added....you can also make kompot from fresh fruit, my grandma used to make kompot from gooseberries.

[@yakeosicki8965]

Kompot can be made from dried fruit. This is what happens in the fall and winter. Kompot is usually made from fresh fruit (or frozen). Fresh fruit is filled with sugar in jars and then pasteurized. In winter, such syrup with fruit is diluted with water and compote is made.

[@WITYTRAVELS]

Ah, thanks!

[@TheEddieToro]

Wow tartar sauce and cranberry sauce on that bread thingy! You guys are inching closer to being full blown vegetarians. I had lots of pierogarnia when I lived in New Jersey near Linden. There's a biiiiiiig Polish American community there. Keep growing stronger on KZbin Katy and Will. 😎😎🙏🙏

[@WITYTRAVELS]

So many good Veg options in Poland. Didn't know they has a Polish American community in Jersey. That's awesome! Thanks for the support Eddie!

[@deez.4575]

You know how to spend money on food! Love your choice of dishes♡Great vlog!

[@WITYTRAVELS]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@wherearewe-yt]

Hahaha. The fork thing! Someone made fun of us for how we were holding cutlery in a video. Didn't know that was a thing. Not vegetarian, but that food all looked amazing! We've been to Poland a couple times, and absolutely love it. You guys made us miss baked pierogi so much. 😢

[@WITYTRAVELS]

One can never be too comfortable eating in front of strangers! 😂 We loved the food and all the Christmas markets we visited in Poland. Baked pierogi are such a vibe. ❤️🇵🇱

[@PostcardAndAPint]

So much good food in this video! Chickpeas and that mash look amazing. Were those Christmas lights by the store Will was by? Looks like a long pizza! Mmm the vegan restaurant food looks amazing! You’re cutting technique is en pointe!! Great video guys 🍻

[@WITYTRAVELS]

Those were Christmas lights! Polish food is really good. Glad we are cutting okay 😂 Thanks friends!

I am here after a holiday meal with a Polish memory dish. If you find places please update HappyCow as that is what I use when I travel. Appreciate your detail on the food/flavors. So nice there is not an upcharge, that is a US thing. Asia did not have upcharge. I have noticed in places where homes are smaller people eat out more and the food prices more reasonable. We also need to keep in mind the COLA differences, it is only better value to some currencies. Numbeo helps sort that out. I grew up in a place near German and Polish immigrants and I miss that food. Must make an effort to find that food.

[@WITYTRAVELS]

Thank you for the comment! ❤🇵🇱

[@b5Bart]

next time you guys get potato pancakes, like the smaller ones without the goulash or sour cream ask them for some white cottage cheese for them, its the best way by farrrrr to enjoy them

[@WITYTRAVELS]

Thanks for the tip!

[@mjm3091]

So the thing with traditional Polish vegetarian cuisine is that we do have over a century long tradition of "kuchnia jarska" (older name for vegetarian/vegan food in Polish). The movement started in the same time as a lot of other groups around the world around late 19th century - since then there have been a lot of efforts to create, adapt and mix recipes from traditional Polish cuisine to fit the criteria of vegetarianism. Which mind you wasn't the hardest due to Catholic Church commonly having special fasts that already limited certain types of meats during some holidays and Polish cuisine in general already basing itself on pickled and fresh vegetables as strong side and main dishes. Then with waves of immigration, globalisation and political changes - a lot more options from around the world also has been available, especially in past 20 years. I think a good chunk of normalisation of the vegetarian and vegan diets in Poland is thanks to Milk Bars, which being fast food bars prioritised filling, but cheap meals - with obviously meat being the most expensive produce, which lead to multiple different creations of milk, egg and vegetable dishes, in form of cutlets, dumplings and soups.

[@WITYTRAVELS]

Thank you for this information. ❤🇵🇱❤🇵🇱

[@medhaparker9076]

I'm from India and moving to Poland very soon also a almost vegetarian to sometimes pescitarian 😅 Does anyone know if there are Indian grocery stores with options of various lentils, rice and traditional Indian vegetables?

[@corty1980]

If I ever go to Poland atleast I know I will not have trouble finding Vegan food. Here in Melbourne we have a vegan festival with lots of food trucks. One of the trucks sells Pierogi, which I look foward to having when I goto to the festival. Unfortunatly it was not on this year, so didn't get to have Pierogi :(

[@WITYTRAVELS]

There are so many tasty options, no matter what your diet is!

[@Kianalife]

beautiful

[@WITYTRAVELS]

Thank you! 😊

[@goranosis2]

You always put sour cream on fried things, as it makes it taste even better than it is. If there are some spices in the sour cream, then, that is a bonus! 😂 I still find it really weird that the states are charging extra for a special milk, if you do not like the regular one. 🤔

[@WITYTRAVELS]

Yea, every other time we received the cream. The States charge extra for EVERYTHING! Thanks for the comment Goran.

17 zł is quite a lot for zapiekanka

[@mauricemahlke1473]

Honestly, not recommending Manekin as a place to eat crepes. These are not traditional Polish-style crepes and I heard many bad things about their employees being treated poorly. Definitely it's better to get crepes at milk bars, since they make homemade food. Polish crepes are totally different than most crepes and def recommend checking them out, especially the ones with cottage cheese or the ones with strawberry jam.

[@WITYTRAVELS]

We liked the crepes! And Manekin always had a huge queue outside at every location. That's not good if they treat their employees bad, though. Thanks for the comment!

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

So are you pescatarian 🐠?

[@WITYTRAVELS]

Basically...

you should put the tatar on the bread....not eat it by itself.

i think you need to order sour cream on your potato pancekes, and then you'd had it.
