    I'm a first generation Polish American and I teared up when MatPat said he was Polish... I was raised strictly Polish and eat all sorts of Polish food to this day, (today it was kotlety mielone). Yes I know we keep too many consonants together, and the smells of Polish dishes can be pungent, but you should try Kaszanka! It's truly delicious!

    • @forwadnothing8212

      It's weird to think, but I live in Poland(although I have Hungarian and Rus(not Russian, a part of the Europe that was taken by ZSRR like Ukraine) roots, and I must say that we don't feel those smells, they are so ingrained into our cooking here, that it's just smell of the kitchen. Also it's very funny to hear American Polish people try to pronounce Polish name without knowledge of reading polish

    Great gram's rhubarb pie:
    4 cups finely chopped rhubarb
    2 cups sugar
    1/4 cup all purpose flour
    1 generous squeeze lemon juice
    Pinch of salt
    1 heaping tbsp tapioca pearls
    Before placing top crust, spread small dabs of butter onto the filling. The crust will absorb it as it bakes and makes it super flakey, and gets rid of the weird store bought crust after taste.

    When I was younger my uncle taught me how to make amazing shortbread cookies from a recipe that was passed down for generations. I’m finally glad I have an excuse to share it!
    Short Bread cookies:
    6 oz flour
    3 oz cornstarch
    3 oz sugar
    1 stick of butter (softened)
    1 egg yolk
    Steps:
    Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Combine flour, egg, cornstarch, and sugar in a mix bowl. Mix well. Slowly add in pieces of butter and continue to mix until a solid dough ball is formed. You may need to add a few teaspoons of water if the dough is not forming. Place individually cut cookies on a baking sheet and put them in the oven for about 15 minutes. Check them occasionally. Depending on the cookie size, you may need more or less time. Once the bottom of the cookies are golden brown take them out of the over and let them cool. Once the cookies have cooled a bit, but are still warm, dip or sprinkle each cookie with sugar. Leave them to cool fully and then enjoy! ❤

    I never thought a Food Theory episode would actually show that Mat and i, along with many other people have a lot in common. Both raised Polish, a lot of interests similar to eachother, and have similar stories when it comes to ancestors.
    At the age of 4-5, my grandmother is someone i looked up to the most. She always had those iconic rainbow melon gummies lying around somewhere, and the best thing i remember her making was toast with that unforgetable pepper spice sprinkled around it. I still remember that party with my whole known generation invited by her, with those triangular decorations, tables, lights, music and fireplace set up, along with a basic mobile game needing to guess the names of certain games on it just for some fun of my own. Now with my grandma passing away since almost 9 years ago, that toast still lives on within my family, and my dad knows the exact recipe for it.
    God speed Matthew. May your cooking adventures live on

    As someone from a Chinese family, living in South East Asia, one of my family recipes is a soup made from papaya, tofu, pork and that salted fish Stephanie was talking about. It is cooked occasionally and never gets old or loses it's taste no matter how many times you eat it. Congratulations on Matpat for being able to embrace his family's roots and recipes in order to continue his legacy as one of his final theories.

    My church is largely comprised of senior citizens. It’s a small church, so sometimes people are basically like family. Over the last 20 years (I’m 21), we’ve lost a lot of those elderly members. But what we *haven’t* lost is their recipes, because every few years, we make a church cookbook. One of the ladies we consider one of the most iconic chefs in the church passed away in 2015, but her husband (who’s in his 90s) allowed us to put some of her recipes in a cookbook we just put out within the last year or two. Since the last cookbook when I was just a kid, I’ve taken up baking, and I have some of my own iconic recipes that are now in that cookbook. You don’t always realize how special something is until something like this video brings it to your attention. Thanks, Food Theorist team. ❤️

Granted I don’t think she had any family recipes passed down from generations, but her cooking was always good. I don’t know how to describe it, but it was more than just food. Kinda the same for a great aunt that passed a few years ago.
    If you wanted to sell the Patrick Family Cookbook, I’d buy a few.

    This may be my favorite episode you’ve done here on food theory. I really don’t have much in terms of memories of family or our history, but I do have a cookbook from my grandmother that makes me laugh.
    She was an amazing cook and baker in her time (though she wasn’t the best at cookies), and she left all the grandkids a cookbook. The problem was that she was a dump cook, so while all the ingredients are correct, none of them have the correct measurements.
    My sister spent years figuring it out, but I kinda treasure the book more with the wrong measurements. She had dementia during my time, so I never had any of her cooking, but I have the memories of her, and the cookbook reminds me of those days.

Over the years, my great-uncle and his granddaughter have been making the sausage and tweaking the recipes. My family still has the original sausage maker that my great-grandfather brought over in 1927, and me and my sister actually used it when we made the sausage. I only ever made the breakfast sausage once so i don’t remember the recipe but I thought it would be cool to share the story.

    Ultimate Grilled Cheese:
    3 oz cream cheese
    1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
    1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
    3/4 cup of mayonnaise (it has to be mayo)
    1 cup of shredded mozzarella
    1/8 teaspoon seasoned salt
    A good type of bread. She recommended Italian bread or garlic Parmesan bread, but I found it taste just as good with regular sliced bread
    In a mixing bowl beat the cream cheese and mayo together until smooth, then stir in the cheeses and seasonings. After that you would spread it on some bread and cook it like a regular cheese sandwich.

    Simple yellow rice with chicken.
    You take four big chicken legs, seal them on fire with onion, crushed garlick and parsley, add wine to deglaze and let the chicken be made slowly with 8 cups of water, boiling.
    After a few mins, add 3 parts rice, add curcums or food dye and salt.
    And... that's my fave food.
    You can add olives, too, or even pepper. Some sour helps a lot with the flavor

    As per traditional Slovakian spin on the cabbage soup, try adding dried mushrooms, pieces of pork shoulder and plums! (It is called kapustnica, and we eat it during Christmas) Also, try forgoing the tomato sauce, sugar and chicken broth, and instead simmer it purely in hot water. It takes longer, but it is so worth it. Also don't be shy with those bay leaves and paprika, add more. And I heartily recommend adding a splash of heavy cream (sweet or sour) into any cabbage soup plate, makes it like a little piece of heaven (also it serves great to cool the soup down a little bit). Also, EAT IT WITH A PIECE OF BREAD ON THE SIDE! (the truly central Europe way)

    This episode really spoke to me. My grandpa passed away just a few years ago. He loved outdoor/cowboy-style cooking, and he became somewhat famous in my Boy Scout troop for it. When he died, my grandma gave me all his old cookbooks. Very few of the recipes in any of these books were his own, but in a binder he had compiled, I had finally found his elusive Ranch Beans recipe. This was a recipe that he would put together for almost every family gathering. They’re delicious, they’re spicy, and they’re very filling. When I decided to make the recipe for myself, I tried them and immediately thought back to my grandpa and how much he loved his cooking ❤️

    When you talked about how you guys took the time to experiment with your families recipes, that really highlights what a family recipe is supposed to be. Of course, it will always be nice to have the original, the first version of that recipe with you. But then that's just someone's recipe. Not a family recipe.
    It becomes a family recipe because you can change it, you can add or subtract aspects of the dish to your liking, and then pass it on to your kids. Then, they can do the same. So while its base started as the original recipe that your grandparents made, it now encorporates you, and every generation after you. It captures every single generation of your family, and it's something to cherish.

    2:07 is a funny moment. Matt says it right, but the text on screen is spelled wrong. It's supposed to be Pączki not Paczki, which is a completely different word. Now this is not the editors fault per se. Not only is it possible that "ą" doesn't even exist in that font, but getting the "ą" on non Polish keyboard seems to be close to impossible. Fascinating how the letters of certain languages are just left out and that can cause funny mistakes/misunderstanding. For those wondering, Paczki, the text on screen, means packages.

    what i'm saying is don't take people for granted. you'll never know when something will come and take them away, and all you'll be left with are the memories. there may be good memories, there may be bad memories, but they'll never compare to the real deal.

Yesterday was my first time making it and my mother-in-law said it tasted just like her mama’s bread. I was so proud and happy. This episode tugged my heart

    This video is a really cool concept. I don't really have family recipes(that I know of) but I am so happy you get to experience them and even pass them on. Truly in the feels this one.

    This video actually touched me emotionally, my grandma used to cook so much when I was a kid, my most favorite of her dishes was what I like to call Soupitta, I loved it so much, slowly I started to learn how to make it when she couldn’t cook anymore. And recently she passed away, and to this day I’m still making the soupitta, and I’ll make sure she lives on through this soup

    In my family a commonly made family recipe is North Staffordshire Oatcakes (I think we’ve altered the recipe slightly but I still love the dish all the same) They’re found in towns such as Stoke on Trent(where my family is from) As a child I love it when my father makes this dish.

    This is such an awesome episode. I dont have any family recipes except maybe a specific way to make sweet tea. We just werent that kind of family.
    Its so cool to see you all taste these and go through these memories. Reminiscing on where you came from. Thank you for sharing a personal piece of you with us.

    I gotta say, I was in tears when finishing this episode - having recently lost my last living grandparent.
    I will say, however, I learned at an early age that it's impolite to turn down food when it's offered, so - for better or worse - we get the full sense of what everyone makes in my extended family's household.

    Steph really is a gem. You two are perfect together; couple goals even. I hope you both have a long happy life when the theories are done!
