Thumbs up for admitting mistake but seriously. Of all things to consistenly mispronounce nationality and country name itself... that is bare minimum to not mess up.
We have a large polish population in our town and my grandmother made polish food. I grew up on kielbasa with fried potatoes and onions. She made cabbage rolls but added hot Hungarian paprika to the filling. But her perogis were unique because they were filled with potatoes, cheddar cheese, bacon and various spices. She then deep fried them and made beer cheese sauce on the side. It often got paired with pork schnitzel pounded paper thin and homemade biscuits and strawberry preserves
Pierogi are not from Russia. The term "Ruskie pierogi" is associated with "Ruś" not Russia, a geographical location which corresponds with nowadays eastern border of Poland and part of Belarus. But overall they are Polish in origin. Ukraine, Belarus and Russia has some versions of them, but they are a bit different.
Pierogi of Russian origin? Pierogi were eaten in Poland as early as the Middle Ages. Poland was in the Soviet Union? Nope. German influence in bigos? Sauer cabbage originates not from Germany but from China. Bigos can also be made from raw cabbage, it doesn't have to be sauerkraut. We do not eat blintzes or stroganoff in Poland. Many real Polish foods missing here. Where is Mazurek cake, Makowiec cake or Kapuśniak soup?
Tyle bzdur i przekłamań o polskiej kuchni ,historii polskiej kuchni i tradycji już dawno nie słyszałam. Troche z tego wynika, ze tak naprawdę Polacy nie mieli swojej kuchni tylko ściągnęli od innych narodów. Jak sie domyślam autorzy tego filmu nigdy w Polsce nie byli ,nigdy polskiej kuchni nie próbowali( z historii mieli pale ) a wiadomoścido tego marnej jakości filmiku czerpali za jaiejs durnej książki jakiegoś marnego autora, który także nie poczuł swoimi kubkami smakowymi polskiego jedzenia ,ani go na oczy nie widział oprócz moze jakiś marnych zdjęć-
@@bogumilak1391 [...]tak naprawdę Polacy nie mieli swojej kuchni tylko ściągnęli od innych narodów. Stety niestety tak to działa z każdą kuchnią. Bałkany mają dużo tureckiego napływu np, północ włoch niecmieckiego i francuskiego, południe włoch pólnocnoafrykańskiego. Co się liczy to własna interpretacja danego dania. Polskie pierogi są podobne do nwm ukraińskiego odpowienika (nie pamiętam nazwy) ale ciasto może się odrobinę różnić, nadzienia mogą być inne itp. A co do 'Polska częścią ZSRR', I tak i nie. Na papierze byliśmy suwerennym państwem, w praktyce byliśmy częścią ZSRR. Z kolei co do 'kapusta kiszona jest z Chin' Nie ma na to jednoznacznej odpowiedzi. Źródła mówią, że kapustę fermentowano w Starożytności w Chinach, i że to Tatarzy 'przynieśli' ją do europy. Z drugiej jednak strony mamy dowody na to, że Rzymianie fermentowali kapustę, a biorąc pod uwagę to, że większość europy czerpie garściami z Rzymu... Jest to bardziej prawdopodobne pochodzenie, zwłaszcza że defacto każde państwo na północnych terenach Imperium Rzymskiego ma coś w stylu kapusty kiszonej. Jeśli chodzi o strogonoff to absolutnie jemy go w Polsce, defacto każda impreza w knajpie ma albo rosół albo strogonoff (przynajmniej na mazowszu, chociaż miałem też okazję jeść strogonoff na dolnym śląsku.)

"is an originally Russian dish of sautéed pieces of beef served in a sauce of mustard and smetana (sour cream). From its origins in mid-19th-century Russia, it has become popular around the world, with considerable variation from the original recipe. Mushrooms are common in many variants." "Elena Molokhovets's classic Russian cookbook A Gift to Young Housewives gives the first known recipe for Govjadina po-strogonovski, s gorchitseju, "Beef à la Stroganov, with mustard", in its 1871 edition." tl:dr po polsku, rosyjska książka kucharska wydana w 1871 "Prezent dla młodych pań domu" ma przepis na Strogonow...

Dear Mashed! Thank you very much for this video. Great! We have been growing cabbage here for hundreds of years. These are not German influences. We have many cabbage dishes (fresh, boiled, sauerkraut). The Germans occupied the western territories of Poland for over 120 years, and the Slavic lands between the Elbe and the Oder for 800 years, hence the similarities. they borrowed many things from the culture of the Western Slavs, and today those ignorant in the West think that it is German or Jewish. It was embarrassing. It was only 70-80 years after the war that the world noticed that there was an interesting place between Western Europe and Russia, marked by the culture of Western Slavs. And this is not Russia, although for many Americans the entire eastern Europe is probably Russia. Greetings.
Kasza with mushrooms for breakfast? Must be a different part of Poland than ones I lived in. Oh, and do not worry about mispronouncing Polish words - this is indeed a difficult language to master.
Polish and Eastern European food is so good, it's like the perfect wintery comfort food. Very surprised it hasn't caught on the way other world cuisines have, but maybe it will one day.
You will find pierogi in Poland, Ukraine and western Russia It is not of Russian origin, just plain and simple Slav And yes, the best pierogi are Polish
Dumplings are originaly from China. And this kind of dish was popularised by Mongol Empire in middle ages. But polish dumplings in current form are more like german influence instead of Russian one. For shure it have nothing to do with soviet union.
historically, these are dishes from the eastern lands of the Kingdom of Poland , Commonwealth Pol -Lit, (Polish, Ruthenian (not Russian), Lithuanian). It's not Russian cuisine. And if the Russians have similar dishes, it is only because they have occupied these areas for 120 years. Greetings
Nobody says "kasza". You need to say what type you mean (depending on plant and how big grain is). This here is "kasza gryczana" and is used in "typical polish dinner" (potatoes + salad + meat) as a substitute of patatoes. I've never seen or even heard of anybody prepearing it for breakfast. "kasza jęczmienna" is most often used for soup called "krupnik". Both "gryczana" and "jęczmienna" ar used to prepare things like stew or gulash. "kasza manna" is boiled in milk and eaten for breakfast often with sugar or fruit syrup. "kasza jaglana" is used in cakes and loved by vegans (ok, not me, I think it has no taste) who don't use eggs but need something sticky to "glue" the food and keep it in one piece :P "Kuskus" and "bulgur", which are two sizes of the same "kasza" are less used, mainly in some exotic dishes. And there are some more! When you only use word "kasza" it's like using only word "meat" - you don't know if it's pork or beef.
tego komentarza wlasnie szukalam! zdziwilam sie gdy pokazano kasze z grzybami jako obiad, ja osobiscie kasze znam najlepiej podawana z gulaszem wolowym i ogorkami kiszonymi.
@@aybgreg6748 no. why? Sound written in english 'sh' is written 'sz' in polish (and 'sch' in german). we are talking about polish food so i don't see a reason to use english spelling to polish words.
Since i'm Polish, I've eaten many of these foods and have prepared them as well. I really like Polish foods. i would say that most of these foods are peasant dishes.
Growing up in a Polish-Lithuanian immigrant family on the East coast of the US, we enjoyed so many of these wonderful foods... I miss not having them. I now get online orders of fresh and smoked Polish Kielbasa and Kiszka, and Czech Jaternice from a butcher shop in Thorp, Wisconsin. Thanks for the awesome video!
If you want good sausage, go where there is a large number of Polish and German ancestry people. Glad they mentioned the Kabanos type smoked sausage, which is my favorite. There is a range of the dryness of smoked, and it's less perishable. Some good stuff in the Midwest, Pennsylvania, and even in parts of Texas. If in Chicago, don't miss Joe and Frank's in Oak Lawn. Very genuine and the staff is bi-lingual. More Polish people in Chicago than anywhere outside of Warsaw.
You're 100% right. I live in Chicago and there are millions of Polish people living here. We have Polish grocery stores and restaurants all over the city and suburbs. We also have our own churches, radio stations and TV stations.
@@MsTwiththeTea1980 It took a while for me to like it. She didn't use smoked hocks, she used fresh. And I would have seasoned it differently if I were making it .
I grew up in Pennsylvania where there was a good-sized Polish immigrant community, so kielbasa, stuffed cabbage, pierogies, were common. I do miss all that, now I live in the SW US. Polish food is comforting, delicious and filling.
Yes, in the Southwest, one tires of endless Mexican restaurants that serve a wan version of real Mexican cooking which is much richer in fish and seafood, fresh veggies and fruits on the plate. Not just meat, cheese, beans, rice and a little shredded lettuce. Real Mexican is much healthier than the American version. And a polish restaurant? Never around here. 😞
Growing up in western PA, Polish dishes are very common and regardless of your heritage, they are comfort foods for the region. When I moved to the western part of the US, I asked for pierogi in a grocery store and three separate employees had never heard of them.
I am Polish, Jackowski, and ashamed that I only know and had three of these dishes, and probably wouldnt even try the others. Is what it is. Was fun to watch. Great video
pretty sure the beef stroganoff bit was supposed to be gulasz wolowy (beef goulash). It's essentially like beef stew, no sour cream in the sauce, served with noodles or potatoes, and a pickle.
Poland has a rich history, so our food has influences from former Prussia and Russia, Austria, Hungary, and even Italy. 🙂 One before last is KOGEL MOGEL, and it contains egg yolk and sugar, optionally egg white and few drops of lemon juice. Kogel Mogel with alcohol is called ajerkoniak (advocaat). Kremówka is known also as Napoleonka, first it's version came to Poland from Neapol, and as it can have the same pudding creme filling as Karpatka, the chrust is different. Napoleonka/ Kremówka has French pastry, and Karpatka has typical puff pastry.
Kiszka (kishka) is something COMPLETELY diffrent then kaszanka (kashanka)!! Kiszka is a pig intestine filled with masked potatoes, bacon, pork fat or other meat, while kaszanka is pig intestine filled with mxi of pig buckwheat, liver, lungs, tongue or overall offal. And there is also Krupniok which is silesian variant of kaszanka, which has a bit diffrent look and filling.
Czasem regionalnie kaszanka jest także nazywa kiszką . To o czym piszesz i nazywasz kiszka tez musi byc tylko w jakimś regionie bo nigdy o czymś takim nie słyszałam ani nie jadłam. Kaszanka natomiast moze byc z kaszy gryczanej (to ta podobno szlachetna ,najczęściej spotykana w rejonie łódzkim ) i kaszy jęczmiennej .Nie wiem jak ta z normalnej kaszy ,ale kaszanka z kaszy gryczanej za dodatek ma tylko i wyłącznie wątróbkę wieprzowa .Z tego co wiem to krupniok śląski jest z takimi dodatkami jak wymieniłeś czyli z dodatkiem wątroby, płuc, ozorów, skórek wieprzowych, tłuszczu .Pozdrawiam.
Im polish if you wanna try something 3. Must try. Pierogi there are potato/meat/strawberry/blueberry 21 also good you can eat it with natural greek yoghurt also 22 also good
PIER- OH- Ghee: Starch and Carbs wrapped in more Starch and Carbs, great stuff when you have nothing else to eat, which was when they were invented. Odd that so many "old" foods from around the World were so similar, but the ingredients were different because of the Veggies, Grains and Meat available, Pirogi is similar to WonTons and Tamales and Pupusa, Tamales/Pupusa use Corn Flower because in that part of the World, Corn grew everywhere. Even Cabbage Rolls were everywhere using different Wraps, Egg Rolls, Spring Rolls (Rice) and the Greeks even had a version using Olive leaves. Let's NOT forget Cheese, thousands of Cheeses all made from one ingredient..from Cows, Goats or another Animal.... Milk
You did great job with research! I'm polish but I had no idea kołaczki is Polish, so always something new to learn. To be honest I don't know any polish guys that eat kasza for breakfast but I know Ukrainian lady that eats kasza for breakfast so maybe it's popular on the east side of Poland, I don't know. What I can recommend - bigos, pierogi, oscypek, kluski with rolada, potato pancakes, karpatka, these are obligatory to try. And you didn't mention the most important soup that polish people eat every Sunday - rosół 😂
the pronunciation of the polish words by the narrator SUCKS! She should have done her homework and learned the CORRECT ENUNCIATION AND SYLABIC EMPHASIS ALSO!
I have a deli less than 5 minutes from my house. The variety of sausage is very nice. But of course Kielbasa biala is the best. You can smell the garlic from 10 feet away.
Norman....I laugh at the sausage that Kroger and Meijers sell calling it Polish sausage......You have to go to a Polish store to get an authentic Polish sausage and we have quite few Polish stores in every city here in America.
Sorry people I’m from Germany, and my mom always made stuffed bell peppers Stuffed cabbage and cabbage rolls. Potato cakes salmon patties and tuna as well. I miss my mom. I’m now 72 years old.
Stuffed bell peppers are not so popular in Poland as gołąbki but they are quite popular anyway. Maybe they are not recognised as a traditional Polish quisine but they are present on Polish tables since I remember (I'm well over 40) and I do not even come from formerly germanised terrains. I think it's a normal thing we share some recipies with our neighbours. For example pierogi can be easily called Ukrainian dish, potato pancackes are even more popular in Belarus than in Poland.
@A T Perhaps it is a regional name. Nothing comes to my mind. And they are definitely not czastuszki as czastuszka is Russian folk song. I know you said it just sounds similar. This info is for less oriented readers. In Poland, this dish is called 'faszerowana papryka', which literally means stuffed pepper.
@@zurugar1530 Yes, I know, but some 50 years ago in Poland, my friend made fantastic stuffed peppers and I think now they were called Czuszki, she has to get that name from somewhere. The fact is that she traveled a lot. I talk about it because the name was so unusual and I never had a chance to ask her for the recipe afterward.
The Polish equivalent of gnocchi are kopytka - the only difference is the shape, other than that the ingredients and preparation is identical. Kluski śląskie, however, are very different as instead of wheat flour you use potato starch. They also contain little to no eggs (depending on the recipe, I prefer to make them with no eggs but even if you do add eggs, you definitely don't add as many as to gnocchi/kopytka).
I know the basic recipe for kopytka because I'm Polish...but I also know the recipe for the Italian because my daughter in-law is Italian and they ALWAYS add parmesan cheese to theirs.
@@Bella-ut8iu just because one Italian (or her family) does it doesn't mean they ALL do it ALWAYS. There's a lot of regional variation and even specific families can do their versions, but the basic, most common recipe does not contain any cheese.
Wow. So many terrible faux pases. German influence in bigos. SOVIET OCCUPATION when discussing a slavic dish over a 1000 years old. Anyone can make content for Mashed now?
My grandmother made very unique perogis and they were my favorite. She filled them with potatoes, cheddar cheese, bacon and various spices but she deep fried them and made beer cheese sauce on the side. She often paired them with pork schnitzel pounded paper thin and biscuits with strawberry preserves
@@hellhound1389 Your grandma made a little bit americanised version of a polish ruthenian pierogi. In oryginal we use cheese called white cheese or twaróg which resemble riccota. But nowadays even in Poland we made them somethimes with cheddar but we call them pierogi amerykańskie.
@@jamrozikkuba she made a lot of American version of ethnic foods but her food was damned good. You could say with our heritage we're truly americanized. My family is German, Irish, Scottish, Scandinavian, and Russian
Being from an Ashkenazic Jewish family much of this is very familiar, although when we make kishka it doesn't contain blood instead being made of grain flour, spices and schmaltz (a rendered fat usually chicken although duck fat and goose fat aren't uncommon).
Czernina is more historical soup than actual food nowadays. I have never seen it anywhere and I'm Polish from Poland. I have never heard of kołaczki either, maybe it's more regional (I'm from Warsaw). Also górale = highlanders. Pronunciation and background music that make my ears bleed aside... I guess it could be worse? Eh. Admittedly I couldn't finish it. Got tired around chłodnik (loled for real around that pronunciation)
Czarnina nie jest zupa historyczna🤣 sam jestem z Warszawy i tutaj rzeczywiście nikt tego nie je. Prosta przyczyną kto w Warszawie miał swoje kaczki? no nikt. Jednakże na wsi ta zupę jadało się tak często jak kaszankę gdy wszystko samemu się hodowało. Sam jadałem u babci na wsi i to moja ulubiona zupa. Najlepiej z kluchami kartoflanym i :)
Oh, there are many other good Polish dishes omitted in this film, such as: Góralska Duszonka - highlander kociolek, Kartacze (known as kałduny cepeliny), or Polish zapiekanka ( bulka)with mushrooms and onions and many more.
I would say that kasza, is more an alternative for mashed potatoes iduring the diner. Never in my life I had it for breakfast. About zupa ogórkowa, many people like it, but for me is a big no-go. I really dislike it. And the potato pancakes are so delicious!, I love them with sprinkle of suger and you can add a little of minced onions to the butter.
My mom would add breadcrumbs instead of flour, and she would separate the eggs. She added the yolks to the potato onion and crumbs, then fold in beaten whites.
I lovvvvvvve polish food. In chicago winters it’s my go to. It’s not sexy like some other European countries but it’s all about taste. I don’t like a lot of Italian spices (fennel, thyme, rosemary) so people look at me weird when I always say I prefer polish German cuisine.
Have to point out it was not kołoczki.. that was just one of many cookies made in poland that variety on picture is crunchy buttery dough with random marmalades... most of the time rose... delicious 😋 kołoczki are bigger sour dough pieces stuffed with everything starting from like cottage chese... to marmelade, fresh fruits... popies seeds and many more..
6:33 for those who not know Slovakia and Czech Republic make and eat it too because mainly here in Slovakia sheep are important part of culture and tatras are in slovakia too along with other parts of carpathia mountain chain but I dont think many non slovak peaple understand that poland and russia arent only west and central slavic countries.
Many misinterpreted facts. Pierogi has not explicitly Russian roots, but Slavic, and the difference is significant. There are multiple Slavic countries, not only Russia and Poland, and each of them has variations of the dish which in Poland appears as pierogi. There’s no one single explanation why they are common to each Slavic groups. One of the interpretations is that they were offered to Perun, one of the gods from the Slavic mythology, and their shape resembles sunrise. So if pierogi has similarities with other Slavic foods, it’s because of the common heritage of the Slavic tribes reaching early Middle Ages, not “expansion of Soviet Union” (whaaatttt??!! 🙄). The author of the video knows “something”, but doesn’t really know what. There are also many other misunderstood facts, I wouldn’t show this video to any friend from abroad. Superficial information collection.
Oh, pierogi reflect the sunrise, very beautifully our ancestors put it!! You just have to talk about it quietly because the Japanese can appropriate the Sunset pierogi as a symbol for them!!
"Perun (właśc. Pierun; także Piorun, Pieron) - słowiańskie bóstwo gromowładne oraz jedno z czołowych w panteonie słowiańskim." A więc pierogi dla Pieruna!!! Czyli ze slowo pierogi pochodzi od Pieruna! Ciekawe!
this video is araund 95% right some names are wrong like "gogle mogle"(or however it was written) its named kogiel mogiel or abaut bigos i never seen bigos with potatoes but overall i recommend this video for ppl that want lern some stuff abaut polish food
The pronunciation is just butchered. Really annoying to watch. Video is not accurate. Kasza with mushrooms and onion is not breakfast food in Poland. Wrong informations. Author of the video should do more research
Actually russian pierogi - the most popular type have nothing to do with russia, they originated in the Polish part of red ruthenia wich is now the part of Ukraine. In slavic languages russia sounds very simmilar to ruthenia so people often mix them up
We don’t eat „Beef Stroganoff” in Poland. We eat polish GULASZ, often with kasza gryczana and ogórki kiszone (polish pickles) and it doesn’t resemble the russian beef stroganoff.
Ogórkowa a fast to prepare dish ... If you have ogórki kiszone that is . And don't ever use pickles. Also thats definitely first channel that differentiates between żurek and barszcz biały. Good job
Unfortunately it is a very poor summary of polish food. We don't eat buckwheat for breakfast, czernina was served maybe 200 years ago, kiszka is not kaszanka, those small pastries at the beginning- first time I have heard about it. Somebody needs to do homework better. And yes pronunciation is sooo bad.
Kasza is not just buckwheat. Rather, it's a generic term that refers to grain-based meals. The variation made from buckwheat is "kasza gryczana", or "kasza krakowska".
Im just here to teach some poland facts: gołąbki (gowoumbki) means pigdeons, silesia has such a deep cultural history that silesian is almost its own language and can be hard to understand even for a Pole, kluski just means noodles idk why u think its only some, "Górale" means mountain man, Schabowy is read s-ha-bo-vy (cos polish CH is just H, in the past there was a grammatical difference but its history), chłodnik (hwodnik) is literally chiller, and kasza means groats so its not only buckwheat but all the others as well, Golonka only refers to pigs feet! not humans, in poland the word pankace is wierd cos most people consider nalesniki the polish pankace and the potato one is called a pie for some reason and we dont do fluffy ones only crapes, and please for the love of god its COGIEL MOGIEL
Why would sourkraut imply German influence in Poland and not a Polish influence in Germany? Because you've heard of sourkraut before you've heard of kapusta kiszona?
You forgot carp Polish style. Also fried cauliflower or polonaise. Many dishes are really just Slavic such as borscht, stuffed cabbage, kasha. There are Polish, Ukrainian, and Russian versions and Jewish ones too that reflect the dietary laws. There was no Mr. Stroganoff he was Count Stroganoff. One other classic Polish dish is tongue a la polonaise with a raisin sauce.
A lot of foods are regional more than national that's why many countries from around the same geographical region can claim same cusine, but every region gives its own twist. Dumplings as a tradition come originally from China and cabbage rolls were popular in Ottoman empire but like mentioned we use what we have and make it out own - heartwarming family foods. Btw anyone who mentions pierogi as russian its a misunderstanding - in Poland one particular style of pierogi is Ruskie but it refers to region of Poland (or more accurate region that formerly was part of Polish -lithuanian Commonwealth and is in nowadays Ukraine) - Ruthenia. The every hanging bothers also made food recipes travel all over.
Pirogies, the frozen kind are amazing, I can only imagine what they would taste like freshly made, I have seen them freshly made but,never had them that way. P.S. I haven’t seen the frozen ones in the stores frozen food section in the past several yrs now.
I live in Chicago and they sell frozen Pierogies with all kinds of flavors in every American grocery store here. Plus we have lots of Polish grocery stores and restaurants all over the city and suburbs.
You mean blood sausage or potatoe sausage? Asking cause Kiszka (kishka) is something COMPLETELY diffrent then kaszanka (kashanka)!! Kiszka is a pig intestine filled with masked potatoes, bacon, pork fat or other meat, while kaszanka is pig intestine filled with mxi of pig buckwheat, liver, lungs, tongue or overall offal.
6:30 not true, oštiepok is actually a cheese brought to Poland by the Slovak Gorali, the only traditional oštiepok comes from the Liptov region of Slovakia
Lmao I’m polish and kaszanka sounds so unappetising but it’s soooo good barbecued. My dad makes the best barbecue kaszanka. I’d never eat czernina tho 🤢
