😄😄😄😄 we had the best time exploring Polish food culture! We had plans to return to film more but unfortunately the virus stymied us. Hope we can return soon. Thanks for watching and commenting Adam. Cheers, Sheena
😍😍😍 us too! It’s belly warming isn’t it?! We’d love to visit Puerto Rico one day! The food culture looks awesome. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
Hope you can get there one day soon Susan! It’s a neat place to travel around. We ate really well there 😍 Thanks for watching and commenting, keep safe and healthy. Cheers, Sheena
Milk bars were always my favourites places to eat home style Polish food. Milk bars are a chain of simple eateries where inexpensive dishes are freshly cooked everyday and they remind me my childhood. I really hope they will never disappear and will always be there serving fresh home style food to the community. I miss milk bars so much. 💞
My fiancé is waiting for me in Poland. Can’t wait go there to see him again and taste this delicious cuisine, when all this painful situation will get better 🥺
I was born and raised in Krakow - left it for the UK in my 20ties. Every time I go back I take a cab from the airport straight to the nearest Milk Bar to enjoy those great flavours... before catching up with my family 🙃 Great video guys - love your enthusiasm and deep dive into the culture - much love and happy travels!
😍 what a neat travel tradition to have! It must immediately make you feel like you’ve arrived home! Thanks for watching and for your kind words. We loved exploring Krakow and can’t wait to return to Poland to see more of the country one day! Cheers, Sheena
Totally agree mate! It’s a neat country to travel in isn’t it? Thanks for watching and commenting, so glad this video brought back happy memories. Cheers, Sheena
We had a wonderful time travelling there and met some lovely, welcoming people. Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed this video. Cheers, Sheena
Nice to see more and more people who are enyoing our polish culture, architecture, traditional food and other best things from our heritage. Looking forward to go back in Poland soon for 3 weeks of holidays. Kotlet mielony with the mashed potatoes and hot beetroot on my table it's a must.
Comfort food!! Bet you miss Poland- are you able to access good Polish food where you live now? We had a fantastic time and hope to be able to return soon. Thanks for watching and commenting mate. Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate I live in Switzerland right now so it's difficult to find polish restaurant in the nearby but I love cooking too so I am able to prepare polish specialities at home :)
Jestem Polką i kocham bardzo swój piękny kraj. Polska jest bardzo różnorodna, ma tradycję i wartości. Wzruszam się gdy ktoś docenia Polskę, jej zabytki, smaczną kuchnię oraz gościnność. Polska to moja matka, mam ją w sercu. Pozdrawiam.

It is a beautiful country! We really hope we can return to see more of it soon. Our trip was stymied by the pandemic so we weren't able to travel around as much as we wanted. Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
We LOVED it Peter Szafel! We're only disappointed we didn't get to experience more of it as our time was cut short by the virus. Hope we can return soon. Thanks for watching and commenting mate. Cheers, Sheena
Thanks so much for watching and commenting mate. We loved the Bar Mleczny we visited in Krakow- honest, good home cooked food. And like you say, such great prices. Can't wait to visit more when we return in a couple of weeks. Which is your favourite bar mleczny? Cheers, Sheena
😍 we loved the snow! And all that hearty food 🤤 Bet you guys have such great memories from there. Thanks for watching and commenting guys. Cheers, Sheena
😍😍😍 no way mate! It was so funny as one of the first restaurants we saw in Krakow was a Nepali restaurant 😆 So glad you enjoyed this one, thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
Im so jealous guys!!! Im Polish, living in UK for 14 years. Im missing "bar mleczny" so much 😭😭 Hope you enjoyed a whole stay in Krakow and all food. Smacznego!!! 😁
We loved our time there so much! We were meant to return to see, eat and film more but sadly the current situation means we weren’t able to. Hopefully we can return soon. Do you get back often? Thanks for watching this one. Cheers, Thomas 😀
@@ChasingaPlate Im flying there twice a year. And always waiting for some meals made by my Dad. Next time you have to try bigos(sauerkraut with meats, mushrooms, herbs, honey, red wine - like a cabbage stew) slow cooking like 4 to 6 hrs. Amazing!!! Good luck guys with your next journeys 🤘🤘🤘
Home cooking is the best! Bigos was on the list of things to eat on our return 😝 we’ll definitely hunt it down on our next trip 😀 stay safe and healthy mate. Cheers, Sheena
You make me feel a bit nostalgic; I was in Poland (Katowice, Warsaw & Krakov) both before and after the "Changes". Of all the things I remember about Poland, the kindness of the people and the FOOD ! Enjoy yourselves! An Old Cold Warrior
Thanks so much for watching mate. We hope this brought back some memories for you. We absolutely loved filming there. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Thomas 😀
Thank you for this lovely video and all your enthusiasm and sympathy! Im from Kraków in 5th generation, its so nice to listen to your comments and explanations. We are honoured!
Thanks mate! We loved out visit and we're so glad you enjoyed the video. We didn't get to film the rest of this series because of corona virus so we'd love to get back when possible to film more. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Thomas 😀
😍😍😍 brilliant! You must be so excited about your upcoming trip Ian. We are heading back to film more content in a couple of weeks so we hope you enjoy those videos too. We loved the city. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
Hi mate, thanks for your kind words and we’re so happy you enjoyed this video! We loved Poland and had the best time exploring the cuisine. We were supposed to return to film more videos but the virus cancelled our trip! Hope we can get back soon. Thanks for watching and commenting 😄 Cheers, Sheena
That sauerkraut soup and the pork cutlet made me lick the screen (almost). New subscriber here, glad to have found your channel. I travel for food and beer too but I'm a writer, not a vlogger. Nice to meet you. Cheers from Mexico! EDIT: I gained 5 pounds watching you guys eat that pork knuckle dinner. OMG.
Thanks so much for watching! We’re so glad you enjoyed the video. Where in Mexico are you from? We love it there. Haha de the pork knuckle. It was crazy right! Cheers, Thomas 😀
@@ChasingaPlate I'm from the US but I'm utterly in love with Mexico. Right now I'm in Puebla but I spent a month in Puerto Vallarta. I'm heading to the Caribbean coast in about a week!
W niektórych miejscach jeszcze są ale w niewielu ja bardzo lubiłam jeść to były bułki z pieczarkami przepyszne wydrążona bułka paryska w środku i w niej duszone pieczarki z cebulką!!!Coś pysznego
Amazing! I´m going to Poland in September with a friend. Our goal is visit the Auschwitz concentration camp, because we are historian, but we going pass one week in Krakow. The linguague and the culture are very different (we are portuguese) and we are a little afraid, but very enthusiastic too. I hope we try a lot of polish foods and visit that restaurants you show in vídeo (our hotel it´s very close). I hope Thomas gets better fast. Great hug from Portugal. I love your vídeos!
Hi Lígia Laginha, thanks so much for watching and commenting mate. How neat that you'll be heading to Poland in a few months. We loved Krakow and can't wait to head back to finish the series. Enthusiasm is all you need 😄 Bet you'll have a great time. Hope the rest of our series will help with your eating itinerary when you visit. We went out to Auschwitz and it was a confronting and sobering experience but it was important for us to go. Thanks so much for the well wishes- we are just working out how we can get over to Portugal soon- I am SO desperate to visit! Cheers, Sheena
Poland is one of the safest countries in Europe. Lots of friendly people. Lots of food and places to visit. It's all really cheap. Don't be afraid and enjoy your time!!!
Hi Ligia - My suggestion, before you order food in Poland, is to buy a jar or canned sauerkraut, look up some recipes via google and make it at home. This way you can get your pallet use to it. Trust me, it's way, way different from the foods you are accustomed to eating. I'm a Canadian Pole and even I have a tough time with it after not eating it for decades. There's Polish Bigos (I prefer this dish), then the sauerkraut soup, which is not just a Polish dish, sauerkraut is big in Germany, Russia, Ukraine, all Eastern Block countries. Just google: polish sauerkraut recipes in youtube and watch some videos on how to cook it.
Milk bars... how much I loved them when I lived in Poland. Sometimes they offered daily menus. As Poland is deeply Catholic, they eat fish on Fridays. Some of these bars offer fish as well on Fridays.
Hi mate, thanks for watching and commenting! We just loved the milk bar culture- I hope we can get back to Poland one day soon to experience more of it. Ah yes I did read that some of the spots serve fish on a Friday. Hope you enjoyed this video! Cheers, Sheena
@@domasavpedzivin well, yes we are. Some might not like it, but we are. Our culture is highly influenced by it, we even have non-working-days on religious holidays.
@@domasavpedzivin Me as an polish atheist strongly respect catholic religion, and i think a lot of Poles are catholic or at least are strongly bounded to this religion.
23 minutes passed like nothing, really nice vid. I’m living in Kraków and didnt know this place with golonka. Thanks for showing new must to go place for meat lover 😁
That’s such a kind thing to say mate! Thanks so much for watching- we’re so happy you enjoyed it! We were gutted as we were meant to return to Kraków to film more but the pandemic stymied our plans! Hope we can return one day soon. Enjoy that golonka 😍 Cheers, Sheena
What a fantastic food culture it has! We loved it and can’t wait to return in a couple of weeks to film more. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
We loved it! A bit gutted as we were meant to return to see more of the country and to film more but the virus stymied our plans. Hope we can return soon. Thanks for watching and commenting Betty Wood. Cheers, Sheena
Lordy, been waiting for this. Omg, you've recreated my childhood. Best friend, met in first grade in Chicago was/is Polish. Spent many an afternoon/evening at her home eating almost what you just showed us. Her mom always had pierogi at every meal. Grace taught me my first foreign language bad word, technically. idź do domu i idź spać. Go home and go to bed. Thank you, for going to Poland. It was Paczki day a fews ago, Grace and many others sent me cheers. Again, I'm grateful to hear both your voices on the same meal. Excellent vlog, thank you for show casing my childhood favorite meals. Technically, because we both said it to nuns at our Catholic school, guess suggesting sleeping a bad thing. Thank you. Brought smiles to me.
Go home and go to bed 😍😆 That’s the sweetest, tamest bad word I’ve ever heard! I love it. So glad this video brought back great memories for you Rebecca! Krakow was a neat place to start our Europe adventure. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one! Cheers, Sheena
I’m so excited for this series. Planning to go to Krakow / Poland soon! My partner is of Polish descent. He wants to discover his roots. Food is an essential part! Can’t wait to try everything.
😍😍😍 EXCITING! We loved our time there and are so excited to get back in a couple of weeks time to finish the series. It had such a lovely feel about it. Thanks for watching and commenting Bailey & Addy, hope our videos can help a bit with your eating itinerary when you visit 😄 Cheers, Sheena
Thanks for watching and commenting mate! We had a great time exploring the city- only wish our time there hadn’t been cut short by the pandemic. Hope you’re enjoying your time there! Cheers, Sheena
We loved the food there so much. We were meant to return to film more but sadly couldn’t due to the current situation. Hopefully we can get back one day soon. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Thomas 😀
My mouth is drooling watching you guys eating!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a show ,I think one of the best one yet. I would like you guys to explore the small towns and villages , maybe northeast of Poland(that's where I come from) . And try food made by regular folks and farmers. Anyway just an idea. Thanks for good memory and stay safe.
We’d love to see more of the country! We had plans to but the pandemic stopped us in our tracks. Hope we can return one day soon- would love to explore the smaller towns and villages in Poland. Thanks for watching and commenting, so glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Sheena
Funny thing but the soup is called "kapuśniak" which means "cabbage soup". You say it's perfect for a rainy day? When it slightly rain all day long, for example in autumn, the rain is called "kapuśniaczek" which means "tiny cabbage soup" 😁
I also noticed the soup. It looks delicious. I love soups and stews with meat. It's my kind of "comfort food". There must be a lot of dishes like this in Poland because it's a country that has cold winters.
Hey, I'm so glad that you're in Poland for the very first time! Polish foods looks so good that you'll to try it for sure, epic food adventure video guys. 😀👍
Hi Silvia Rat, oh gosh it’s so hard isn’t it knowing you can’t see your family! We totally feel you. Hope this all blows over soon and we can all be reunited. Thanks for watching and commenting on this video, hope you enjoyed it. Cheers, Sheena
In Poland keeping both hands on the table is considered good manners. Or rather eating with one hand under the table is considered bad manners. Just a friendly advice, I love that you enjoy our culture.
This is great to know! Thanks for that 😄 always love learning local etiquette. Hope we can return to Poland one day to see more of the country. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate ;) gimme a holla if your in Lublin. I'll let you know about less know things to see. Savoir vivre used to be very big in Poland before the communism.
@@ChasingaPlate Hell Im in quarantine right now. so i'll just write it down now: 1. Kardamon restaurant in Lublin - best restaurant in town, a must have is the beef tartar. Lublin is cheap, a restaurant of this quality will cost you 3x as much in warsaw. 2. Bosko icream parlor in Lublin - best iceream in town 3. Lard on bread with a pickle - just from street vendors in the old town 4. Cebularz - local type of bun with baked onions on top 5. Vanila cafe in lublin - just get their flower shaped cookies. They are well known for them, you can even get them in stores, but that's where they make em. 6. Get some proper polish doughnuts called Pączki. 7.As for bars: go to "U szewca". Best to come in the summer during "Jarmark Jaggielloński" or "Carnaval Sztukmistrzów". Once your done with Lublin you have two places you have to see. Those are: Kazimierz Dolny and Zamość. In Zamość just go around the town. In Kazimierz Dolny there are a few places: 1. Obligatory visit to the Sarzyński Bakery, you'll recognize them by the giant bread rooster outside. The bread roosters are traditional but i recommend getting some "Kulebiak" its a local delicacy sweet pastry with cabbage and mushrooms inside. 2. For food go to "Batumi", yeh it's not Polish but you have to try their whole pickled walnuts. You can tell them that the guy who once won a whole jar of pickled watermelon skins sent you;) 3.If your up for a 45 min hike you should go along the river, pass the town, pass the quarry, through the forest and all the way to Mięćmierz. And snap some great photos next to the windmill on the river bank. There is plenty more but i think this is more than enough for one trip. Ofc after the virus goes way. What i gave you here is not know by the turists mostly so that will make for some unique footage. The turistyy stuff you can find on your own. Hope you like it.;)
If I ever make it to Poland Im heading directly to the restaurant for that pork knuckle. Ive seen it made in Germany, but finished in a wood burning oven - brilliant.
I was born in Krakow in 1978, I never lived there but it is one of my favorite cities to visit. I haven’t been in Poland in 31 years since I left for the USA as a 13 years old kid, I can wait to see Wawel and eat zapiekanki again.
Ah yes red currants! Thanks for that. After filming and drinking a bit more of the Kompot we realised they weren’t blueberries 😄 Thanks for watching and commenting. We’re so happy you enjoyed the video! Cheers, Sheena
Hi Marek! Thanks for watching mate. Gotta approach eating with enthusiasm and gusto right!? We ate so well in Krakow- we got to experience some neat spots! Cheers, Sheena
Those cucumbers look like fermented rather than pickled. fermented cucumbers are superior to pickled since they are super healthy and have refreshing flavour.
Yea mate, I think they were just brined and not pickled like we said 😄 they were so tasty! Thanks for watching and commenting. Hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Sheena
😄😄😄😄 we loved visiting your country! Hope we can return to see more of it soon. The pandemic cut short our trip! Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
Thanks so much mate! We can’t wait to get back- our trip was cut short because of the pandemic so we weren’t able to explore as widely as we had liked! What we did see we loved though. Thanks for watching and commenting. Hope you enjoyed the video! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate you will always be welcome in my country. I invite you to try other Polish cuisine dishes. , it's worth making our traditional Polish cuisine just for people like you.. oh one more thing, drinking beer with pork is ok, but vodka is better for pork ! :) enjoy my coutry ! :)
♥️ Guys! You are absolutely amazing! I love how emotional about the food you are! ♥️ Watching You is Super nice! Imma Polish so should not be surpirsed with the food and still your video made me soooo hungry!!! 😁♥️🥟 P.S try żurek and also Maczanka next time!
Hi Kat Sobala, thanks for watching and commenting mate. We had such a great time in Krakow and had plans to return to Poland to film and eat more but the virus stymied our return trip! So gutted! We found Polish food so hearty and comforting. Can't wait to return to explore more hopefully soon. Hope you enjoyed the video. Keep safe and healthy! Cheers, Sheena
Look at this very simple ingredients on a plate. How is tasty, just few and you taste heaven. You don't need spend plenty of time in the kitchen making this lunch
Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words! So happy you enjoyed it. We loved Kraków. Hope we can return to see more of Poland very soon! Cheers, Sheena
😍😍😍😍 it was a fantastic restaurant! We loved the golonka 🤤 Hope you get to experience it one day soon for yourself mate. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
God sake u made me so hungry watching this!!! I'm from Poland , living in UK for last 17 years. Miss my food! So much cheaper to eat there too! What u think about Polish beers?
Thanks for watching. We hope you had a snack handy. You must miss the Polish food. We had a great time there and can’t wait to return when possible. We loved the beer! Thanks, Thomas 😀
Thanks so much booodo! We are so gutted our time exploring your country was cut short because of the virus. Hope we can return one day soon to resume filming! Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
Oglądam 6:21 i iuż wiem, że oczarują Was bary mleczne. To taki relikt przeszłości, ale dalej mają swój urok. Kocham Was i pozdrawiam. Przyjedźcie do Trójmiasta. Zapraszam 😘
😍😄😍😄 how was that pork knuckle for size Joan?! It was humongous! Thanks for watching and commenting on this one, hope you enjoy what we have coming up. Cheers, Sheena
I’m not sure how long it was roasted in the beer for but it would have been a while the meat was so tender. It was finished off in the oven pretty quick- that crackle was amazing.
Dear Thomas and Sheena! Considering the times we live through right now, i hope this message finds you well. I just subscribed to your channel and i am really happy to have done so. The way you respect and appreciate every single dish is just amazing to me. Having worked as a cook and as a server in my teenage years i almost felt the appreciation that hungry people showed me at 3am, while watching this video of yours. Keep up this work and you will get far. You definately deserve a lot more subscribers. With love and appreciation.
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind comment. You've really made our day. We have a huge passion for showing off the very best and really getting to the heart of the food culture in the places we visit. We're so glad that comes across in our videos. Getting a comment like yours really does put a huge smile on our faces. Thanks so much for taking the time to write. Cheers, Thomas and Sheena 😀
Aż miło było na Was patrzeć jak Wam smakowało. No cóż my Polacy lubimy dobrze zjeść niekoniecznie zdrowo 😁. Ale bym zjadł taką golonkę. Pozdrawiam z mojego pięknego Krakowa.
Thanks for watching mate! We loved our short time in Krakow and can't wait to get back one day soon. We were meant to film more but the pandemic stymied our trip! Keep safe and healthy. Cheers, Sheena
Wish we could have stayed longer but the pandemic stymied our travel plans! Hope we can return to learn more about Polish culture one day soon. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
OMG...I Lived in Krakow for 3 YEARS in the late 80's. That Zapiekanka spot was an EVERDAY occurrence for me!!! There were long lines then. I go there every time I'm back!!! You found the BEST. We would always walk out with two, it was too good not to wait in line, again. The place has changed its look since I was there originally, but it truly had long lines when I lived there. Thanks for showcasing one of my most treasured and favorite places in the world. You have a subscriber for LIFE!!!
Hi Karl Kunath, thanks so much for watching and we’re so happy you enjoyed this video. I’m so glad we filmed at that zapiekanka shop- what history and what a meal 😍 Thanks for sharing your memories with us. It was busy the whole time we were there- locals popping in to grab one to takeaway. We can’t wait to return when we’re back in Krakow in a couple of weeks. Hope you like the upcoming Polish content we have planned! Cheers, Sheena
Hi mate, thanks for watching and commenting! We were so gutted the virus stymied our trip in Poland- we were supposed to return to film more but it wasn’t to be. Hope we can get back soon too! Keep safe and healthy! Cheers, Sheena
