Obwarzanek krakowski is a 14th century pastry. The dough is steamed first, then baked. Bagels also come from Krakow. Krakow Jews began to bake them in the 17th century. It was a gift for a woman after a successful birth. Emigrants brought bagels to the US in the late 19th century. Today they are a symbol of NY or Toronto.

[@MaxandSidney]

That makes so much sense! The bagels in Kraków were excellent, can definitely understand why! Enjoyed the obwarzanek as well, very unique. Thanks for the info! 😁

[@polishmik]

Montreal not Toronto

[@edytamachaj8250]

Fantastic info!! I was born in Kraków now leave in Western Australia, but when I was growing up in Kraków precle/bagel was my favourite snak . It’s great to know it’s history 👍🏻👍🏻. Our precle s are THE BEST!!! Forget about New York, Germany, Austria. Our precle have specific flavour and definitely does NOT need cream cheese. Only locals can fully appreciate it 😊🍀

[@martindworak]

@@edytamachaj8250look out for the New Yorkers, some still believe they invented the pretzel, just like some Americans think they invented pizza. Now they claim they improved the pretzel, I wouldn’t know, never been to New York. If I want to go to a crowded place full of mean people, I just go to the DMV!

[@headsuphockeypodcast2707]

Also a good food in New Jersey

[@radsec]

The most traditional Paczki are filled with Rose jam also the difference between American donuts and Polish is that Polish is yeast dough vs baking powder or baking soda.

[@andrewokeeffe5358]

Nicely done yes polish food is very filling you won't feel hungry after these street foods. The milk bar is a must I've eaten alot in Poland and the milk bars are something you wouldn't forget cooked by polish ladies hand made with love . My encouragement is keep away from the fast foods only because you miss out on the real essence of polish cuisine you will learn so much more from the food where it came from how it was produced so rich in historical value

[@MaxandSidney]

Thanks for watching! It was definitely very filling and so tasty! We really enjoyed Polish cuisine, I am sure there is a lot that we missed!

[@vonum7530]

You are so right, thanks for saying that :D

[@Sthriga1]

Imagine there are people who come to visit Poland and all they eat is macdonalds and pizza... If you feel couragous you can try czernina (black soup from duck blood) or flaki (really good stuff), if you don`t want to be adventurous you can go for kaszanka, śledź (herring) or tatar (raw beef with some stuff, really exquisite) and of course most of Polish food is comfort food: bigos, gołąbki, schabowe, mielone, żurek, grochówka, golonka. Try also potato pancakes with goulash, it`s next level. POLISH FOOD IS AWESOME!

Don't know where you get your info from but the most traditional Pączki are with a rose jam filling. Owarzanek is the medieval ancestor of present day bagles. Jewish emigrants from Poland modified and popularized the recipe.

[@MaxandSidney]

Ahh, makes sense! Thanks for checking out the video 😁

[@tuomollo]

Pączki (also pierogi) is already plural. Singular is pączek

[@mrdevroo3798]

The traditional filling of polish donuts is rose jam "konfitura" - some kind of sweet preserve made of rose petals, not any "plump sauce". Plum jam called "powidla" (similar to a kind of sweet sauce with pieces of fruit) is added to bigos - polish sauerkraut and meat dish.

[@MaxandSidney]

Oh, interesting! We did end up trying the rose jam, it was very aromatic! So unique!

[@MasterZeus94]

Hey guys! Wonderful to see more travellers in Poland! Hopefully your tour doesn't end just on Kraków, as there's plenty more to see (personal recommendations based on living: Wrocław and Poznań) Also: 0:55 - don't know where did you get the plum filling from; I feel like a lot of people would say 'rose petal' would be the go-to pączki flavour 3:50 - they definitely should look like bagels, considering bagels do originate from Kraków's Jewish Quarter from the 1600s! :D

If you ever visit Szczecin you need to try our local street foods typical for out city: - Paszteciki. Basically deep fried dough sticks with fillings (usually 3 choices: meat, cheese+mushrooms, pickled cabbage+mushrtooms) served with a cup of barszczyk (the clear type to drink), though if you're not up for barszczyk then tourists often just get a coca cola instead. But for the real traditional experience barszczyk is the way to go. There's an entire history behind this dish how during communist times a prototype was invented for the USSR army to make food rations, but then was decomissioned quickly and one guy brought it to Szczecin, modified it to be able to be suitable for street food settings, and it just caught on and became a part of the local culture forever. Somehow it never catches on outside our city whenever someone tries, not sure why since everyone visiting Szczecin always loves it. - tosty szczecinskie. Szczecinian toasties. Basically a zapiekanka, but a closed sandwich instead of an open one, and pressed flat on a panini grill, toasted that way. Usual toppings (or rather, fillings in this case) are cheese+ham, cheese+mushrooms or cheese+ham+mushrooms - and sauces of course whether you like ketchup or mustard or mayo or mixes or whatever - frytburger/frytkebs. So in Poland you must have noticed that kebabs are sold in those toasted triangular buns that make a bowl of sorts, and the more domestic burger places use the same type of bun for burgers (as opposed to American franchises or gourmet burger places emulating American styles) and also give you a load of a coleslaw in there and so on, basically the same as with kebabs but the meat is a burger patty instead. So in Szczecin we have kinda done away with the coleslaw and put fries in there instead lol and hence frytkebs or frytburger - frytki means fries so frytki+kebab, frytki+hamburger lol and we do the same also with wraps besides the buns as well if you prefer a wrap. With frytkebs/frytburger there is a stereotype that if someone from Szczecin wants to order one in another city, the staff is either confused by the concept of putting potato fries into the bun instead of coleslaw and doesn't know how to bill that, or someone from the till yells to the people in the kitchen that "Szczecin przyszedl!" lol a Szczecin has come. Always one or the other, depending on whether they have experience with people from Szczecin, who apparently are the only ones in the country to ever want to order something like that lol Of course there is much more to it all than just that but these 3 things are the most famous/stereotypical/standing out.

Tradycyjne pączki są napełniane dżemem różanym (osobiście nie przepadam). Placki ziemniaczane i bigos, to dla mnie najlepsze jedzenie na świecie. w Polsce trwa bitwa placki " z cukrem czy na słono" ;-).

[@MaxandSidney]

😁👍

[@seboho6938]

To są konfitury ❗

[@masikorski6411]

I've eaten zapiekankas all my childhood and I just recently learned that this is an original polish recipe. It was concieved in the 70s as answer to western fast food (70s are known as "Gierek's decade, named after Polish United Workers Party chairman Edward Gierek, who served between 1970 and 1980. He had a plan to make Poland a wealthier country: taking loans from the west, selling our products and repaying the loans with these money. Soon there were many apartment buildings built (or "commie blocks"), there were more western things on the streets (we finally had Coca-Cola). Unfortunately his plan didn't work out andwe got left with debt, which we ended repaying in 2012, so almost 3 decades after Gierek was deposed. Also, placki ziemiaczane are originally Jewish food. There were many Jews living in Poland before WWII, so their cusine got mixed with Polish. To this day Jews eat "latkes", which are potato pancakes with sour cream or jam on top.

[@MaxandSidney]

Wow, fascinating backstory! Thanks for sharing, it provides so much more context to all of the delicious street foods we tried! 😁👍

[@seboho6938]

Placki ziemniaczane nie pochodzą z kuchni żydów. To danie pojawiło się w Polsce niezależnie w kilku miejscach i w kilku odmianach. Pierwotnie podobne były do moskoli, dopiero później nastąpiły zmiany. Nie wprowadzaj w błąd swoimi bredniami.

[@kotkotlecik7310]

I've just eaten but the placki and zapiekanka made me a little hungry. Also, don't feel bad about your pronunciation, Polish is so difficult, even for Poles. We truly appreciate every foreigner who tries to say anything in Polish.

The funny and a magic thing about our donuts is, no matter with way you start bite, the jam is always from other side. If you manage to bite the donut from the side with the filling, you should play the lottery.

[@MaxandSidney]

Really?? 😆 Good to know it wasn't just us!

[@cprn.]

You ate some good stuff but you've missed so many good things! 😆I didn't read all the comments so IDK if others already recommended those but for the next time you visit Kraków: 1. "Maczanka po Krakowsku" by Andrus Food Truck (maczać = to soak; prepared for over 48 hours slowly cooked pulled-pork kind of sandwich soaked with gravy, many toppings) 2. "Krakowski Kumpir" (kumpir is a giant baked potato with butter, some years they cheat and "build" it out of 2-4 smaller potatoes but it's still awesomely tasty, many toppings to choose from) 3. żurek w chlebie (in many restaurants; sour rye soup with sausage, boczek/bacon, eggs and other goodies served in crusty bread - yes, you can eat the bowl) 4. Golonkarnia (golonka = a ham hock but don't be afraid, it's mostly meat, granted, with outer fat baked until crunchy - great with beer, prepared in many ways including honey glazed) 5. Argasińscy ice cream shop at Jana street (traditional, handmade, one of the best you'll ever taste and sold by weight so you can order a little bit of every flavour, literally) Prices range from low to mid but all of those are big portions so go hungry or split the meal! Have fun ❤

[@MaxandSidney]

Thank you so much for this list of suggestions! We have no doubt that we missed so much, we can't wait to come back and dive deeper into the food scene! We will definitely add all of your suggestions to our list for next time 😊 thank you for watching the video!

Chives, Tak? Hope you enjoined the "żabiekanka" 🐸

[@witekd.1021]

The most popular and traditional polish donuts (pączki) are with rose jam inside. The traditional classic zapiekanka is only with mushrooms, onion, cheese and ketchup. Of course, they are also good with various additions, but it is worth trying the classic one first.

[@msciwojstalkiewicz9510]

Next time you visit - go to Wawrzyńca street in the Kazimierz Jewish district and look for the "Andrus" food truck. They have Maczanka there. Maczanka is Krakow-specific, as far as I know. What you basically get is a pulled pork sandwich with a multitude of toppings to choose from. The bun is crispy and the meat is really juicy and well seasoned. I'm a local and I really love it.

[@MaxandSidney]

Wow, that sounds amazing!! Thank you for the suggestion, we will definitely have to try it next time!

Poland is underestimated. It's a wonderful country. You can walk here at 3 am and no one will hurt you. Poles have always put freedom above all else. As a result of the aggression of Germany and Russia, a large part of Poland was subjected to enormous destruction. 62% of industry was destroyed, infrastructure - 85%, about 16.7% of the population lost their lives during the war. It's hard to recover from something like that. The Polish woman is the only one in the world to have won two Nobel prizes in different fields. Copernicus was also a Pole. And Polish food is the best in the world.

Obwarzanek is actually a direct link between pretzel and bagel. All of those three uses same baking technique (boiling dough before baking) originally in 10th/11th century used for german pretzel, then in 12th/13th adapted to polish obwarzanek and later in 15th/16th jewish bakers from Krakow used same technique to make bagels. I personally am not a fan of Krakows version as it is more on dry side, kind of like a pretzel, in eastern part of Galicja (former Austrian partition where obwarzanek came from) we do make them more softer, closer to bagels then pretzels. Also milk bars are not comunist idea, it is common misconception even among Poles. First milk bars were opened in 1890s and gained more popularity after WW1 when Poland regained independence but polish economy was still strugling so acces to affordable dining was a crucial especially for a working class.

Sorry ,but The Polish obwarzanek has nothing to do with the German Brezel ! If you ever ate brecla in Germany, you should know that it tastes completely different, moreover, you can see it by the shape and color of the baked brezel! The first records about Krakow's obwarzanki in the royal Wawel Castle date back to the 13th century. Obwarzanek is also the progenitor of the Jewish bajgiel, which was baked in the Jewish district of Kazimierz (today a district of Krakow). The recipe of both of these pastries is virtually the same, the only difference is the shape, width and size of the hole (the bagels are wider and the hole is smaller, which makes it easy to cut them and make sandwiches), while the obwarzanek is a snack to be torn off piece by piece. Americans owe their bagels to Polish Jews emigrating to America at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. This is an indisputable matter because American historians are completely unanimous on this matter that Polish Jews brought bagels to Manhattan. Germans who, during the partition of Polish lands, tried not only to Germanize Polish society, but also everything that was related to Polishness and Polish tradition. There were bagels associated with the Polish tradition for centuries, and because obwarzanek was, according to the Austrians and Germans, similar to brezel, so they imposed this name on our obwarzanek. So please do not introduce some strange story to our Polish obwarzanki that they supposedly come from German or Austrian brezli because it is total nonsense. It's some kind of neo-historical matrix

@@bogumilak1391 Did you even read what I wrote and understand that or is that too hard for you? Obwarzanek uses same baking technique as pretzels, where dough is preboiled before baking (hence the name "obwarzanek" - a something that was boiled). That technique was used by germans for pretzels which become very popular in whole central europe in 11th and 12th century, including Poland. In 13th century Polish bakers used that technique on different dough to make obwarzanek, thats why it does not taste like a pretzel but it is related to it. That is known historical facts. Also bagels are not the same as obwarzanek, recipe for a dough is slightly different, bagels has usually higher hydration, it is the same story as with pretzels and obwarzanki, the technique is what links them not a dough recipe. Next time please read twice before writing nonsense.

Wow, didn’t know the history of milk bars goes that far back! We loved the concept, and it was great to be able to try a few different things! As for the obwarzanek, that makes a lot of sense! It definitely seemed like right in the middle of a pretzel and bagel. We’d definitely be interested in trying the softer version! Thanks for the great info and for checking out our channel! 👍

Nie ma czegoś takiego jak "wschodnia Galicja". Galicja to nazwa Małopolski Wschodniej zamieniona w zaborze austriackim na idiotyczną "Galicję". Czy cierpisz na oikofobię? Proponuję ci leczenie butem.

You must try "żurek"

[@MaxandSidney]

We will definitely have to try it next time!

[@presstmoded]

The strangest thing is, out of all your tries of pronouncing polish words, you were the closest with "sznurek", and it was the one that made you burst in laugh :D

[@MaxandSidney]

That is so funny 😂😂😂 we didn't know any Polish before getting there, we were struggling with all of the pronunciations 😂

[@presstmoded]

@@MaxandSidney I've actually started to write this down yesterday, but since you were kind enough to reply to my post, here it is: Doughnut Pączek Pou-check Side note: even though they looked ok, this particular one you tried (raspberry) wasn't filled enough with jam. It is a usual way of saving money on production and thus cheating the client. Bagel Obwarzanek Ob-va-ja-neck Side note: read "ja/jan" as you would read Jean Claude van Damne's name. This one is really old, and actually originated from the same place as Bagel - today's Turkey, back then Osman Empire, and it get here with traders in 13th-14th century. The difference between Bagel and Obwarzanek is, before you bake it, you put it in hot water for 30+ seconds to kill the yeast, so it doesn't grow anymore. The first mention of it can be found as early as 1297 in the foundation document of Kraków. Oh, and the price skyrocketed lately by the way - it was much cheaper before. French bread pizza / Open-faced toasted cheese sandwich Zapiekanka/Zapiekanki(plurar) Za-peea-can-ca Side note: Read "Za" as in name "Zack", late "ea" in "peea" as you'd read it in word "bear". Originated in 70's when Poland bought license to produce bougettes from France. The basic components of Zapiekanka are basic and really cheap to this day (fried button mushrooms, cheese and tomato sauce similar to ketchup), so it catched on really quick. The place you've visited, "Endzior" serves worse than "Zapiekanki Królewskie" or "King's Zapiekanki" on the other side of "Okrąglak" ("Rotunda"), that I highly recommended you try next time you get here, since they are in my opinion best in this city. Of course, aside from the fact all the zapiekankas there are highly over the top, traditionally it's supposed to be the base you mentioned and ketchup - that's it. (1/3)

@@MaxandSidney Chive Szczypiorek Sh-chee-pio-reck Dumplings Pierogi Pie-ro-gi Side note: less accent on "i", more on "e" in "Pie". Most popular pierogis were called "ruskie" that actually doesn't originate from russia, but from Ruś Kijowska (Kiev Rus), and for last year and few months, we call them "pierogi ukraińskie" that translates to "ukrainian pierogi". Milk Bar "under Temida" Bar Mleczny "Pod Temidą" Bar M-letch-nee "pod te-mee-dou" Side note: read "te" as in the name "Ted". I don't know the story of this place, but it suggests there is or at some point was a statue or relief of Temida (greek's goddess of justice) somewhere on the elevation of the building the bar is in. Traditionally we'd name our taverns "under a sign" istead of just this sign. Like e.x. Harry Potter's The Hog's Head Inn would be translated to "Gospoda pod Świńskim Łbem" ("Tavern under Hog's Head"). (2/3)

@@MaxandSidney Potato Pancakes Placki Ziemniaczane Platz-key Zi-em-nya-tcha-nea Side note: again, "ea" in "nea" as in the word "bear". Placki translates to pancakes/fritters/cakes among other meanings (like "siąść plackiem" means "sit flat", since pancakes are flat, get it?), so unfortunatelly to get understood you need to say the whole thing. Good luck. And by the way, this one is quite old too, comes from 17th century, originated from Warmia ('var-mia') region, and simple as it is, it was poor peasant's substitute of bread. Oh and by the way, it's been served both sour and sweet (I usually eat mine with simple sugar, or goulash), but originally it was served with sour cream or greaves. Compote Kompot Com-pot Sausage and string Kiełbasa i sznurek Kieu-bassa ee shnu-reck Side note: the name actually comes from children rhyme "Jurek, Ogórek, Kiełbasa i Sznurek" (yu-reck, o-goo-reck, ...). Jurek is a diminutive of the name "Jerzy" (ye-jee, again - 'j' as in 'Jean Claud van Damne"), ogórek means cucumber. It doesn't make sense but why would it. Now, answering your call from 14:00 - you actually missed a big one, the "Sop" or "Maczanka" (Match-ann-ca), which originates from 17th century and it's considered one of the oldest street food in history. Back then it was made with meat leftovers cooked in sauce and put in usually stale bread roll - again, it was considered to be carriage driver's and poor students food. Nowadays it's pulled pork served in a burger-like bun with pickles and other additives. Most popular Maczanka place is in Kazimierz District on Saint Lawrence's street (not that far from Rotunda that you visited, by the way). Oh, and thank you for visiting Kraków, hope you will come back here again :) (3/3)

And plum isn't traditional polish fillling for donuts, rose one is original

[@MaxandSidney]

We tried the rose ones the day after, shoot! Well now we know 😁 thanks for the tip!

[@MrKojotie]

If you want a good polish donut it must be with rose jam, or with rose filling in some kind. Otherwise it will be an "infulfilling donut" - "beznadziejny" in polish. If you roughly translate to english it says without a filling. :) So don't bother with other than rose filling.

[@MaxandSidney]

Interesting! The rose filling seemed to be very aromatic, definitely need to try more next time!

Obwarzanek is just what New York's bagels evolved from when Polish Jewish community came to New York back in the day lol

Where is the "kiełbaska z nyski" ? Sausage in a roll sold at night at Grzegórzecka Street, opposite the market hall? This sausage is reportedly made to order, especially for this one vendor.

We didn’t get there, but it sounds amazing! We’ll add it to the list, we are hoping to go back someday!
