Whenever you see a "w" in Polish, treat it as a "v." Whenever you see a "c" it's close to "ts" rather than a "k." "Ł" is pretty much an english "w." So: Wrocław is "vrots-wav."

Potato dumplings's name is actually derived from Ruthenia, a region in Poland and Ukraine, not Russia. Ruthenia is "Ruś" in Polish, hence the name "pierogi ruskie". If it was derived from Russia, it would be "pierogi rosyjskie".

[@kaylethdark6237]

Pierogi is a polish word and it's derived from the proto-slavic word for feast. Since the origin is proto-slavic there will be similar words in other Slavic languages. Also Poland was a country before Russia was even a thought (at least the Russia everyone thinks of now). Placki ziemniaczane (potato pancakes) are only seasoned with bit of salt and pepper so that you can have them with anything you want. They are like the backing vocals to a meal. Usually you lovely gulasz with that or cream and sugar if you fancy them sweet :)

I am Polish and I agree it's fantastic. It's one of my favourite dishes ever. However, it's hard to make really good one. So, before you decide to eat it in any restaurant, check reviews first. Especially from Polish people. If Polish people write that bigos in this place is great, this is a right place to go. I know what I'm talking about. I made bigos for a couple of times. It was pretty good but still not as good as it should be.

The "limousine bus" is called melex. It's an elctric vehicle produced in Poland since early 70's. It's quiet, good for environment but kinda slow and with rather short range. Often used as a bus for guided tours . Next time you should take the opportunity and go for a tour. It's not expensive but very informative, most offer tours in English. I went for one in Krakow last month and it was a great experience. But maybe I was lucky :) As for the potato pancakes, these are mildly flavoured for a reason. You can make it savory by topping it with a sauce/gravy such as mushroom sauce, meat stew etc but some people prefer it sprinkled with sugar or even sugar and sour cream. Great video.

[@OurStorytoTell]

Okay the melex sounds awesome and something we will have to do next time. Thanks for the tips! 😊

My father's parents were from Poland. I lived in an area where people from Eastern Europe flooded the area to work in the local coal mines in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Most of them were from Poland. Consequently, most people in the area where I grew up were familiar with Polish culture and food. My non-Polish grandmother and one of my non-Polish aunts routinely included kielbasa with the rest of the food they served on Thanksgiving. I grew up seeing kielbasa and horseradish on the table next to turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy and ham, along with stuffing, pumpkin pie and so on. The same aunt used to make golabki, haluski and pierogis. She used cheese and mashed potatoes in her pierogis. Those were my favorites, She also used cabbage and prunes and they were also very good.

[@xeliozil]

that must have been cool, or at least tasty

[@meatwad1]

@@xeliozil Oh, yes! I grew up in Northeastern Pennsylvania where Polish people were probably the largest ethnic group. Local restaurants served Polish cuisine and local grocery stores did as well. In 1990 I moved to the midwest and now I can't find any of that unless I go to Chicago. I can buy pierogis in a store but they won't be as good as the ones my aunt made from scratch. I can also buy mass-produced kielbasa in a supermarket but I miss those little Polish-owned neighborhood grocery stores where the owners made their own kielbasa and no two stores make it exactly the same. I miss all of that diversity and having so many choices. I had an uncle who lived in Delaware. Twice a year he would come home to visit my grandmother. Before he drove back to Delaware he would go to a little mom and pop grocery store in the neighboring town and buy about 20 pounds of kielbasa. I laugh whenever I think of that.

Gabriel Farenheit was German

[@dr_axie1106]

@@bezimienny525 From what I know he was born in Gdańsk in 1686, what makes it the XVII century, if you search for maps of Poland at that time Gdańsk (in German-Danzig; in Latin- Gedanum and in Dutch Danswijk) was included in our territory. Gdańsk was the largest city of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, a royal city, had the right to actively participate in the act of electing a king, and in the 16th century it was the richest in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. It belonged to the independent territory of the city of Gdańsk and was located in the second half of the 16th century in the Pomeranian Province. Ethnically he was from German origins but since it was polish territory and he lived there until his parents died (so his whole childhood, teens and part of adulthood) calling him polish is right too. In history classes we are taught that he was born In Gdańsk and he was the grandson of an German immigrant. He (I mean G. Farenheit) after the death of his parents (he had a merchant father) left to Netherlands, and stayed there the rest of his life, so he really did not have a lot to do with Germany as many might think he did since he never lived there in the first place

Hello, i'm random guy from countryside brought to you by algorythm, and damn.... One and really important thing about dining in Poland is... don't eat on city main square :DDD These you ate, were definitely looking pretty, and great you had a lovely time :D As an advice for next time with better weather ... (or for newcomers) prices for these are horrendous (33zł for one meal is bout twice or thrice the regular price*), not to mention that these definitely look cool, but I've never had pierogi like these in my entire life, including 6 years in wroclaw. If you are looking for less fancy, and at the same time more traditional cuisine: Look for restaurants with swimming pool-like tiles on the floor, some cringe photos on the wall, and (most preferrably) with old women serving and cooking... These are our real dumplings :) they won't be looking as fancy, instead they're able to melt ones soul. Best alternatives are "Pierogarnia" where you will get nothing but dumplings. You'll find there many kinds and variations like: Ruskie (cottage cheese+potatoes+onion ; they are, in my opinion, best and most popular pierogi), stuffed with meat, with cabbage and mushroom, stuffed with plum, strawberry, (cottage)cheese and fruit of choice... I would say spinach ones are more of a novelty than tradition (and still - i love them xD) There was a place in Poznań where you could buy dumplings for a price per unit, mixing them any way you wanted. I wish they'll still be there when i visit the city From more of a funny side - there is a place in Wrocław called Chleboteka (chleb = bread) where you can taste bread&cream ice cream, and buy awesome bread ofc. anyways Best wishes from Wroclaw ;) Hope you'll have a great time in Europe, aaaaaaand come again! *pre-inflation price

[@OurStorytoTell]

Thank you so much for your comment! We love knowing what to look out for next time! 😊 We will be back! If you have any specific restaurant recommendations other than Chleboteka let us know! That place sounds amazing & same with the Ruskie pierogis!

[@MeeWho]

A this moment i don't recall any specific traditional places you definitely should go to ;) There is a polish language blog called Wrocławskie Podróże Kulinarne (Wroclaw Culinary Travels), if you know somebody who can help you read it, author can give you a great insight of what you can eat in the whole city About sweets, i would definitely recommend trying Kołacz - kind of cake in form of a 'tube', there are at least 3 places near main square which serves them, Pan Precel (mr. pretzel) esentially what the name suggests (still really yummy) If you ever visit Poznań or Gdansk, consider going to Pyrabar (Pyra = potatoe in greater polish dialect). There are more shabby looking places, but as a former student i can ensure you they have many regular visitors: 1. Hala Targowa - (Market Hall) this place is a big beatuiful market under roof, if you are looking for best fruits downtown, weird sweets (like my childhood favourite Szyszka ->"pine" made of prepared rice and caramel) or great choice of tea (and many others) you can find them there, but most importantly, if you turn right just after entering the building, there will be a bar called Karmazyn (just Crimson) really popular among students, elderly people. 2. Bar Miś - typical polish 'milk bar', if you are looking to what polish people eat daily, you can go there and get something truly basic like Kopytka, Pyzy, Ogórkowa (pickled cucumber soup), If you want to try some traditional soups: Biały or Czerwony Barszcz would be the great choice White (Biały) Borsch made of white sausage and sourdough - typically eaten with hard boiled egg on Easter, Red (Czerwony) Borsch made of beetroot, typically eaten with type of dumplings called Uszka (ears). There are many more soups specific to some regions, sometimes you can find Zimnik in menu, which is kind of cold vegetable cream soup made for hot days. There was actually a place serving soups only, but Covid took them out of bussiness. Somebody already said that, but i'll repeat after him. There is something, my family call "warm word" ( in the meaning suggesting cheering up and comforting somebody) what they mean is actually polish Bigos. In polish national epos "Pan Tadeusz" by Adam Mickiewicz, there actually is a recipe for most traditional form of bigos, made of venison, sausage, using sauerkraut. I love eating our less 'epic' homemade bigos with bread and butter (you know by default polish butter has no salt? i was so suprised, when i learned, that abroad this is a thing) Hope you'll find something for yourself ;) Great... after writing all of this i became hungry again xD

[@MeeWho]

Typically when i was on the run from work to university i would grab takeout with some Ruskie in Market Hall, and eat them between the lectures, many people eat them plain - just boiled, others with fried onion(most popular), greaves or sometimes with cream... and when they get cold, instead of microwave'ing them... fry to make them crispy like the baked ones you had on the vlog - and eat them with ketchup :D

Welcome & enjoy ✌️

it's nice to host sincere people in my country. You tasted (zrazy wołowe, biała kiełbasa, żurek w chlebie i bigos) ???🤔😁 Delicious...

We visited a German relative in St. Louis and she served us Ranch dressing and I said, "Really? You like Ranch?" She said, "No, it's for guests." *lol* I'm not as nice, I don't keep nutella in this house for visitors.

[@marcindraco5666]

Som of the best pierogi for me is first boiled then frayd on the pan it changes the taste a lot

[@OurStorytoTell]

Mmm oh we bet!

[@BremerFischkoop]

The patato cake is called Kartoffelpuffer in Germany. We will have applesauce with it. You can find them at any Christmas market.

Polish dishes. Let me ask the simple way. "where bigos, where żurek?" Nice video, reminds me of home. :)

[@OurStorytoTell]

Hi Aaron! We have bigos in our video where we visit Bochum. It’s so true, we know there are many other foods that should belong in this type of food tour! Thanks for the sure. Glad you enjoyed the video :). Don’t forget to subscribe if you want to follow along!

[@LythaWausW]

Ranch dressing? I'm there. Did you get a chance to try a polish dog of some sort? I'm dying to know if Costco's polish dogs are authentic. We eat a lot of Krakauers in this house but they taste nothing like Costco's.

[@manzanasrojas6984]

99% of things marketed to you in the US as being specific to a country or being sold as "authentic *insert nationality here*" are far from the original product or something completely different, from my personal experiences in the US. You'd probably feel similar over here when it comes to stuff supermarkets sell as supposed US products.

[@LythaWausW]

@@manzanasrojas6984 Yes, American week at Aldi is full of crap. It makes me ashamed, that people think we eat that stuff.

[@mypointofview1111]

I don't think anyone outside the USA know what a ranch dressing is. In Poland many cooks go for traditional Polish salad dressing or a version of French dressing

[@LythaWausW]

@@mypointofview1111 My husband says, "Is it Thousand Ranch or Hidden Island?" *lol* He's German. We cannot blame them, they just don't know how crucial Ranch is to our eating in general. I don't think Germany has a "crucial" dressing like we do.

Your first shot in the video: „Look at her face“ 👍 😁 - quite the gluttonous mama - 😂😂 🤣 and the next generation of food bloggers. ✅ 😇 Nice turn. The offerings in the bakeries seem very similar to the Germans. Looked all very tasty ☺️ and seems you had a lot of fun too. More of this please. 🙏

[@jjinwien9054]

Just curious - I have never seen anyone eating this type of food with your fingers. Is that the way the other customers were eating - i.e. without cutlery?

[@olaszulc3239]

as a polish person, definitely not the typical way to eat it. I've never seen anyone eating the dumplings with their hands

[@mypointofview1111]

I don't think Americans use cutlery in their own country.

[@patriciakrakowiak1442]

I'm Polish American and I use cutlery to eat all Polish food.

You should try food in Silesia region of Poland You're gonna love it.

well Wroclaw is a capital of Silesia so... :D

We agree!

[@kyihsin2917]

"Erb" is the American and original pronunciation. "H-erb" is the British pronunciation, which is a more recent pronunciation triggered by the spelling.

[@V100-e5q]

And then the French say "erb" too. I think it was them who introduced it to the English language. The Romans would say "h-erba" of course. And they had some saying in the English language too.
