Trying Polish STREET FOOD In Kraków Poland 🇵🇱

[@JayandKarolina]

What was your favourite food from the video?! 👀✌️

[@hanafinursamsihanif906]

Donuts Polish bro,I very very like yummy 😂🤤

[@mayhem6630]

just skip paczek :)

[@robertbogucki985]

Zapiekanka is the best!

[@msciwojstalkiewicz9510]

Yes. But honestly, I'm a total carnivore, so kiełbasa and maczanka take the spot. Also, I'm actually from Kraków and you had a solid pick of good spots (maczanka from Andrus is among my favourites, but I have had better zapiekanka than what they serve at the Okrąglak). I also highly recommend the ice cream chain called "Good Lood" (multiple locations across the city, easiest to Google it to find the nearest one - they also do delivery if you have their app on your phone), if you decide to visit again.

We really like Kraków - it is not only the cradle of history, but also a city of culture and food! So it really caters for everyone and I believe most of the people would have a fun short getaway in Kraków 🥳 Thanks for watching!

Zapiekankę wymyślono w PRL w czasach komuny. Mięso to był wtedy rzadki rarytas ale był ser i były pieczarki więc ktoś wymyslił danie które można było sprzedawać klientom w prywatnych budkach z jedzeniem . Tak że orginalna zapiekanka to danie bezmięsne. Zapiekanka was invented in the Polish People's Republic during communism. Meat was a rare delicacy back then, but there was cheese and mushrooms, so someone invented a dish that could be sold to customers as fast food.

[@JayandKarolina]

Very interesting! Thank you for sharing this information 😍 It's amazing how the simplest food turns out to be the best!

If you want to eat tasty and healthy food, support Poles and Polish farmers! We, Poles, thank God for the land he gave us for farming and we know how to use it. Poles do not need caviar or truffles to create delicious food from simple products. I wish you bon appetit and best regards.

We love what's local and fresh! But in the period we were there (mid-March), even at fresh markets, it was possible to buy something seasonal, because basically the crops from a given year are available from May/June 😜

[@julioc4978]

Hope that was the last 'wintery' vid from Kraków this year - the weather getting better and better every day, so you can slowly put your scarves away to the closets (darn, it sounds bad in Polish :D )! Happy to see your joy there Jay and happy to see Karolina again! :) No i... Dumny z Karoli! :) P.S.: My top 3 are as follow: 1. Zapiekanka 2. Maczanka 3. Kiełbasa

We're so glad you enjoyed watching this video 😍 Imagine how much fun we must have had filming it! We weren't very lucky with the weather because it was a cold day, but we warmed ourselves with goodies along the way. Zapiekanka "rozwaliła system" 🤪 Thank you so much!!!

Zapiekanka is a traditional Polish product for small businesses, traditionally sold in small places at bus and train stops. Its composition was simple, good bread, mushrooms, baked cheese and spices, and that's all.

[@bluesmurf8065]

I was actually born in Krakow but moved to Canada as a small child, and have been living in Korea for almost two decades. Anyway it was so nice to see the foods i miss such as paczki, zapiekanka, obwarzanki and a polish grilled sausage. I never had if from that man in the blue van but i have watched some videos and many mention him. I hope to go back to Krakow for a visit this or next year and will try to locate him and his van. Karolina's zapiekanka is the one i would get too because that is the simple zapiekanka i remember from my childhood (with cheese, mushroom, ham, ketchup, and chives). You made me so hungry with this video hehe. And i never had or heard of Maczanka but i want to try it thanks to you. Another great video

[@JayandKarolina]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Thinking of Canada we would love to go there one day :) 🇨🇦 Krakow is a paradise for all the foodie lovers! We were so happy trying both home-cooked foods and local street food. Yes, classic zapiekanka is just with mushroom and cheese (loads of SAUCE!) but it's great to combine it with some other ingredients! Maczanka was also a big discovery for us since it was the very first time we had it! But it's apparently very well-known for Kraków! Hope you make it soon to Poland! Take care and thank you so much for watching :)

I'm going to cheat and say I loved all the street food. Thank you for a great vid.

Zapiekanki definitely didn't originate in Krakow. Zapiekanki in Krakow aren't the best, they are the most famous. Zapiekanki - Casseroles were created at a time when food was rationed. It was the communist era in the 1980s. The stores only had ketchup, vinegar, mushrooms, cheese and shampoo. Small gastronomy was going bankrupt. Someone somewhere came up with the idea of ​​baking a baguette with cheese and mushrooms and pouring ketchup over it. I was on the coast and there were zpiekanki there, similarly in Warsaw, but they weren't in Krakow yet. It was the early 1980s.

[@JayandKarolina]

Thank you so much for bringing up this story 😬🙏 We loved the Krakow-style zapiekanki!

[@kuba_nowak]

Casserole is a completely different dish and has nothing to do with zapiekanki.

[@yakeosicki8965]

@@kuba_nowak Tu chodzi metodę przygotowania i stąd nasza nazwa oczywiście typowe zapiekanki w innych kuchniach czyli Casserole, to inny typ dań.

The prices seems very proportional to the minimum hourly pay. According to google 30 zl is the minimum hourly pay which was the same back in 2014 in the UK. Poland looks like it has dramatically changed since the early 2000s when I visited there. Looking forward to going back in the future.

[@JayandKarolina]

I couldn't agree more! We love coming back to Poland because it is very affordable for EVERYONE! It's also developing very quickly, so you can get access to top restaurants, modern hotels or amazing activities for reasonable money :)

[@JayandKarolina]

Yes, the translator is doing it job on KZbin! In Poland people love eating bread (especially sandwiches for breakfast/dinner) and the basic loaf is quite cheap! But also recently more and more artisan bakeries have been opened and then it’s a different story 😋

Fair enough mate haha! Krakow is very much a touristy city so prices are more expensive. I don't mind buying this donut as a one off because it's really fresh and enough to feed two people :D

There has never been hunger in Poland, we do not know this concept from the times of peace, but only from the times of the German occupation. There has always been plenty of food in Poland, so much that we did not have to eat Moors, snails and frogs. We do not eat these dishes for now.

[@JayandKarolina]

I would agree only partially because according to our reaserch and facts, there was shortage of expensive ingredients such as meat, sweets etc. during the communism times. That’s the reason why people got the food for the cards - so called „karteczki” - and needed to find ways of cooking cheap meals.

What is the answer to hunger in Poland when its basic ingredients include, in addition to good bread, a layer of mushrooms and yellow cheese? After all, these are expensive ingredients? There are still fairy tales about hunger in Poland during communism. So there was no hunger among us, but there was a desire for freedom.

[@JayandKarolina]

It was more political rather than real hunger :) The government wanted to control everything after the war, which was quite normal considering the many decades of being dependent of the intruders.

To jest jakas masakra...........zniesmaczy mnie to ten filmik okropnie, krotko ujmujac, pokazuje kolesia o ciemniejszej karnacji, który zwiedza Kraków z kobietą, najprawdopodobniej Polką. W pewnym momencie para odwiedza pączkarnię, a mężczyzna kupuje pączka. Widać, że jego partnerka jest podekscytowana i głodna, wyraźnie czeka, aż będą mogli podzielić się tym smakołykiem. I co robi ten „dżentelmen”? Zamiast najpierw poczęstować swoją partnerkę, która najwyraźniej zaprowadziła go w to miejsce, zaczyna jeść pączka sam. Kamera cały czas na niego skierowana, a on bez żadnego skrępowania delektuje się pączkiem, ignorując jej oczekiwania. Dopiero po kilku kęsach podaje jej kawałek, jakby od niechcenia. Ten filmik pokazuje coś, co mnie naprawdę zbulwersowało - brak szacunku wobec kobiet. Frajerski cygan zachował się tak, jakby jej obecność była mniej ważna, jakby jej potrzeby były drugorzędne. I to w sytuacji, kiedy to ona wprowadziła go w to miejsce. Tego rodzaju podejście do kobiet, traktowanie ich jako mniej ważne, jest po prostu niedopuszczalne. To, co zobaczyłem, to idealny przykład samolubnego i ignorującego zachowania, które powinno być głośno krytykowane. Zadna kobieta zasługuje na takie traktowanie, zwłaszcza ta , która ci towarzyszy i chce z tobą dzielić miłe chwile.
