This wasn't my first time trying Polish food , but it was my first time trying it with someone who knew a bit about traditional dishes. I found that during my 6 day stay in Wroclaw that not only is there a big variety of dishes available , but also that Polish chefs are now using creative techniques to create traditional dishes with a modern twist. As always , all reviews impartial and all food and drink paid for by myself.
We are in the period of rebuilding Polish cuisine. Communism destroyed or changed many culinary traditions. Our national cuisine has only been reviving for 25 years. Traditionally, we had noble, bourgeois and plebeian court kitchens. Many laws changed for the worse during the communist era. The noble and bourgeois cuisine practically ceased to exist. It is slowly recovering. It is important to revive local products and traditional local cuisine. Each region of Poland has its own regional cuisine. In Poznań you will eat Poznań style duck with steamed yeast dumplings and red cabbage, in Silesia you will eat beef roulade, in Krakow you will eat Krakow's Maczanka in Podlasie, potato cake, etc. Before the next visit, I recommend getting acquainted with the regional specialties. Regards.
Hi Jason, following on from my previous comment when you asked the opinion of this restaurant from my Wrocław resident son, well my wife and I visited the town just before Christmas. The three of us went along and on the basis of your visit tried the pancakes with goulash, cheese pierogi and the Chicken Kiev. Fortunately, son Paul was aware of the portions so thankfully stopped me from ordering those dishes as starters. An easy mistake to make. The pancakes were lovely as were the pierogi however the Kiev was slightly disappointing ( very thin batter and little taste to the chicken) perhaps I was expecting the over garlicy British version. Nonetheless an enjoyable experience in a small quaint family run establishment. This was however our only traditional Polish meal. The World Cup was on of course so we went on the first night to his football bar Winners. Good standard burger and my wife had a nice goats cheese dish. Next evening a fabulous curry at Indian Island, well reviewed. And our last meal finding somewhere with the Brazil Croatia game, we came across Capri, an Italian but with great pizzas and great atmosphere. But I must say what a lovely town Wrocław is. So interesting and condensed and the Christmas Market was by far the best European market we have visited. Looking forward to visiting again in the summer months for some outside dining and drinking. 🍻
Glad you enjoyed the visit. I didn’t have a chicken Kiev so it’s not clear if you got a bad one or not . I liked the traditional food there but I did notice that Indian food has become very popular there , not sure if that’s a Poland thing or a Wrocław thing.
One note. 'Pierogi Ruskie' does not translate as Russian dumplings. The correct translation is Ruthenian dumplings! Ruthenia has been part of Poland for nearly 1000 years. Today it is western Ukraine and the south-eastern part of Poland. Ruthenian dumplings indicate their place of origin (Ruthenian Voivodeship). Many Poles, without any historical knowledge, misinterpret the name of these dumplings. The word Ruthenian (Ruthenia) became a synonym for Russian in everyday language in the early 20th century. Ruthenian dumplings have nothing to do with Russia! Russian dumplings are pelmeni. 😁 The Hungarian pancake has nothing to do with Hungary. This dish is served with stew. The goulash is a stew in Poland (Austria, Czech Republic). The original goulash is a soup with noodle(Nokedli) made in Hungary. Another name for this dish is potato pancakes in the style of robber (placek po zbójnicku). We have a lot of dishes where the names have nothing to do with the indicated country or region. You will meet Japanese herring, Breton beans and many more in Poland.😂😂😂😂😂 We have our gaspacho. This soup is called chłodnik litewski ( cold soup in Lithuanian). The name here indicates that it comes from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The soup is prepared on the basis of a decoction of young beetroot, fresh vegetables (cucumber, radish, garlic) and herbs (dill) mixed with yogurt or kefir and sour cream. Boiled eggs are added to it. Once, instead of eggs, slices of boiled veal or crayfish were added.🙂
Thanks for the detailed information . I just went on what I was told by locals and what seems to be a mistranslated menu . As for the chlodnik soup , tried it and loved it .
@@primemutton That’s true that even Poles translates it wrongly. Ruthenian - ruskie, Russian - rosyjskie. But sometimes we call a person from Russia - Ruski, instead of Rosjanin (correct form), that’s why people make this mistake. Their brain connects a word ruski with rosyjski which is incorrect.
We've had pork knuckle tonight by coincidence! German style (schweinshaxe) and took a crack at making cheese spaetzle. Turned out great! If you get the chance, we'd highly recommend a trip to Cologne. Great city with brilliant food and brauhaus's. Really enjoyed it last year and we're back there in December!
Shoulder I'm in prague at the moment should of come here that beer looks like flat Spanish stuff yuck czech beer is the best 👌 also can't believe you didn't recognise mustard and horseradish STILL COME ON CITY
Well I didn’t know if it was a mustard sauce or mustard. Anyway I’m more of a bitter and stout drinker anyway but I do know that Czech beer is famous (I haven’t been there for decades)
Great vlog as always, if you are going to Dortmund give us a shout and we’ll have a session in the Aldt Stadt in Duesseldorf and great schwarzes bier plus super German food.
Hi Bob , I will be going , I haven’t decided where to to stay yet or where to film the food element of the vlog . I’ll be arriving Düsseldorf airport 2215h on the Monday evening . I don’t have much of an idea as to how late places open over there .

@@yakeosicki8965 I would agree with that , my experiences were much improved from
My previous visit 15 or more years ago.
Only thing better than polish cooking… is the divine creatures that make actually cook it.
Those slightly spicy dumplings with the mushroom sauce looked delicious! Great video 👍🏻
Spicy bum-lings as I call them
Love polish vlog Jason 😊 hope you had a wonderful time!
Thanks Gosia , this recent trip to Poland really left a very positive impression.
Top notch as usual my friend.

I will be in Germany 24-27 October , if I can find it I’ll defo have pork knuckle in mustard sauce . (Maybe as easy as finding a pale ale in a pub)

@@primemutton Pretty late but its getting from the Flughaven to where you are staying. You would love the Aldt Stadt.
@@primemutton In Germany always look around the Bahnhoff for late drinking/eating places.
Any advice about where to stay and drink , and a city where I can vlog food items would be appreciated.
I’m also going to Copenhagen but I am a bit more clued up about that city.
Na miniaturce filmu wygląda jak brat bliźniak Dariusza Gnatowskiego.
Love Polish food
Great Vlog. How was the beer?
Beer was decent , even found a place serving good quality hoppy craft beers.
Nice one, mate, now go South and start enjoying the Hungarian dishes.
Defo on my to do list !

@@yakeosicki8965 yeah that’s true, but you wanted to write Hortobagyi pancake, not Hungarian.
