Best Polish Food | You HAVE to try Potato Pancakes with Goulash + Krakow By Night

[@yakeosicki8965]

There is a sentence in Poland and Hungary. Pole and Hungarian are two nephews up to the saber and into the glass. Hungarian goulash is a soup. Polish goulash is stew. This pancake is often called a pancake in the Hungarian style. They don't know this dish in Hungary. The only thing that connects this dish is the word goulash. I recommend soup Żurek from the kitchen of farmers. For a vegetarian, there may be a red borscht soup with dumplings (ears - uszka).Delicious is a Polish duck (duck stuffed with apples), knuckle in beer (Golonka). Poland is famous for its sausages. Krakow is famous for its dry Krakowska sausage. Strong alcohol is Żubrówka vodka (a bison vodka) She must be served in a drink "szarlotka"(apple pie). Polish traditional apple pie is delicious. Bon appétit

Thanks so much for all the food info! I'm hungry now... :)

[@panciopinczera7488]

@@TravelBeans Funny fact: Poland has loats of dishes that are named as if they were foreign origin, but usually natives from those countries never heard of it:) We have: - Hungarian (or Bohemian) potato panceke (this is what you had) - British (Bretagne?) Beans - Ukrainian Barsch - Russian (more like Ruthenian actually) pierogies - Greek fish - Italian ice cream - french croissant (rogal - that is not close to what French call croissant) - jewish herring and more...

[@MrMeduzification]

​@@panciopinczera7488 Why did you include Ruthenian pierogies on that list? The name origins from Red Ruthenia and it has nothing to do with Russia and so called "foreign origin", as Red Ruthenia territory belonged (and a part of it still belongs) to Poland . The problem is that most of the shops, restaurants and so on translate "ruskie" as "russian", where it should be "ruthenian", as you mentioned. Still - this ain't foreign.

[@panciopinczera7488]

@@MrMeduzification Thats my point - neither of those dishes is foreign. And, like you saisd- many people think "ruskie" somes from russian, hence why its on the list...

[@MrMeduzification]

@@panciopinczera7488 And still, as all dishes are "fake foreign", you can't put the Ruthenian pierogies on that list. They just don't fit there, if you know that "ruskie" is from Ruthenia and not from Russia. It isn't "fake foreign", if there isn't anything foreign in the name. "Lots of dishes that are named as if they were foreign origin" - there's nothing foreign about Red Ruthenia

Krakow was one of our favorite cities!! The delicious food, yummy beer and kind people. We cannot wait to return ❤️

[@EliuszHadrian]

"Hungarian Pancakes" are the best!! When my friends, foreigners, were to visit me, I asked my mother to prepare this dish.

[@JamesyboyExperiment]

Hi guys. So chuffed you got yourself a vegan kebab Emma - we had a great vegan burger in Krakow but forgot to tell you about it in time. Cosy moments out of the cold with a mulled wine are the best.....Krakow is such a cosy city. We didn't visit the Pinball Museum for the exact same reason - too much money.

[@TravelBeans]

so many cosy places!

[@skilltempest]

My wife and I are in Krakow for a vacation and we went to Szynk today! It has changed since you guys were there, but the food was great, the service was great, and the restaurant is just adorable! I had the same dish as you Alex, but they've upped their plating game significantly - still delicious though! My wife had the Beef Tripe soup and it was even better than the goulash! Seriously, anyone in Krakow go check it out.

[@adamosantonio1499]

Yes, placek po węgierski, jest przepyszny 😋 👊💯

[@dzoanaaa]

I am Polish and this “pancake “ is my favourite meal ! I live in UK but every time I am in Poland I must eat it! :)

[@TravelBeans]

I still dream of this meal. The best comforting winter meal ever!

[@charlies.5777]

+Travel Beans Wait a sec... Potato pancakes stuffed with goulash, then topped with SOUR CREAM AND cheese?! ARE you effing serious?! OMG, you JUST gave this Polish-American a foodgasm!!😀 I NEED to get my dupa to Krakow,especially since my Polish relatives tell me that it's so beautiful there your retinas 👀 get goosebumps!! I LIKE your channel and the lovely accents- I'm DEFINITELY gonna Sub. When I head over to Poland, I'll need to have some Bangers and Mash in your country as well!!😀

[@Rbletek]

Apple Juice and Vodka. Ok, but not just regural vodka! Apple juice and Żubrówka! The Bison Grass Vodka! That's special treat! "Like most vodkas, żubrówka is usually served chilled on its own. A very popular alternative is mixing it with apple juice (a drink known in Polish as tatanka (Lakota for "American bison") or szarlotka (Polish for "apple cake"); known in the UK as a Frisky Bison; and in the US as a Polish Kiss). It is sometimes served over vanilla ice cream,[9] and another common mixer is ginger ale. While a "Black Bison" is żubrówka mixed with black currant juice.

[@sexybrainful]

I've heard the nickname of "Forrester's Breath", and it's definitely my favourite :)

[@dumbalek6001]

and people don't usually mention the potato pancakes because if you ask me... I didn't even think it was such a specifically polish thing! And it's also like a meal you eat at home that is easy to make and is quite lazy... while making things like golonka or pierogi is a hussle and it's not something you eat other than in restaurants or on holidays! Very glad you enjoyed Krakow and our food!!! : D

[@DelightfulTravellers]

So missing Krakow after watching this you guys. Luv it! 😃 The prices at the Pinball Museum seem to be much higher since we were there. 😕 (Edit: Actually what we ended up doing is just paying for myself... Anna just had beer and watched) - Trevor

Need to try the vodka an apple juice, just have never heard of the 2 together.

[@TravelBeans]

Neither had we until we came to Poland! Also, normal vodka and apple juice is not as good... make sure you use Żubrówka (bison grass vodka) and cloudy apple! It tastes like apple pie! 😋

[@joxp6971]

Come to aussie sydney youll love it.

[@dareknaszlaku]

Apple juice goes only with żubrówka !😉

[@jaaceknoowak]

Those potato pancakes with goulash are my favorite comfort food too. It's often called "placki po węgiersku" (i.e. "Hungarian pancakes") or "placki po zbójnicku" ("thug pancakes?"). And that goulash was for sure pork, at least that's how it should be.

Well, at least I'll take as much pictures as I can with my heavy canon :D Greetings from Warsaw! :)

[@BumblingTourist]

I'm glad Poland is veg friendly! I was there in 2009 and found it incredibly difficult to eat. Had a conversation at a restaurant about how chicken was their vegetarian option. Good thing about travelling with a meat eater is you can swap meal bits and veggie pieces.

[@TravelBeans]

Yes, it was a huge surprise tbh but it was extremely veggie friendly. I guess with the boom of tourism in the last 10 years, it is becoming easier and easier :)

[@nikka00]

Poland is becoming veggie and vegan paradise lately :)!

[@nondorian]

Both vegan and vegetarian are becoming popular lately so there is a boom of products and restaurants of such variety in bigger cities so it's ideal for tourists.

[@dwu7979]

Potato Pancakes - placki ziemniaczane, with meat souce are simply to prepare at home ;)

[@chrisdickinson3168]

Easily the best place for a over 30s stag weekend. If you go back check out the gaming pub near the main square, I would tell you the name but you have Google. Also you have to go on a good tour, I did one for about £12 and had so much food plus the tour guide gave me so much interesting infomation. I will be doing it again when I go back

[@BakasyunistangOFW]

Hey Travel Beans! We miss you. Come back here in the Philippines!

[@yakeosicki8965]

The old tobacco factory (Stara Fabryka Tytoniu) on the lower mills(Dolne młyny) is a good place for a gastronomic trip. You must try the zapiekanka. This is traditional street food. You've to go to the Jewish quarter(Kazimierz) to the Sq. Nowy (Sq.New) Pinball game and bowling are sick entertainment ;-p I recommend you vlogs Jamesyboy Experiment - Travel Channel. They should receive Polish passports now. hahahaha

[@TravelBeans]

Great tips! Thank you! Yeah, we know Adam & Corinne - they're great!

[@bettermood505]

Try it next time in Poland : Bigos , krokiety , gołąbki and the best soup in the world flaczki 😚

[@kku6857]

Better than hash browns, isn't it? ;) Potato pancakes are simple and easy to prepare them, I always struggle to buy them when I am coming back from the UK. Try croquettes with beetroot soup (barszcz czerwony z krokietami) or broth (rosół).

[@kku6857]

I would recommend Polish soups espcially tomato soup, also you must try cucumber salad, cauliflower, sausages with mustard and bread.

[@travellover8509]

Gulasz is originally from Hungary, but Poland does it to (credits to Hungary) , typically with potato pancakes

It's easy to be vegetarian/vegan in Poland because of Catholicism - yeah. Due to religious rule Poles avoid meat (except fish) on Fridays - so there is always plenty of vegetarian and vegan options around (and for all week cuz restaurants don't want to make a special menu for one day of the week).
