Dzien dobry from Krakow or today I should say Smacznego from Krakow,
which means enjoy your meal in Polish because today we're gonna show you Krakow
through its tasty local foods. Introducing you to this amazing city and
the country's cuisine. Be prepared for more hearty foods that tend to cater to
meat lovers but I'm sure we'll find something to cater to all tastes. Hope
you're hungry! So for the start of our tour we're gonna be at the entrance of
the city at the Florianski gate which is basically the start of what they call
the Royal route so for our first dish we're gonna have a Polish favourite and
a lot of you might already know pierogies so we're gonna run around the
corner to one of my favourite pierogi shops and have a heaping helping to enjoy.
Okay so we've got a big plate here of pierogies basically what I would call
Polish raviolis so they're dumplings stuffed with mushroom, cabbage and meat
so let's dig in
Bardzo smaczne.
So here we are in the main market square known as the Rynek. Behind me is the st.
Mary's Church which hovers above the square. Throughout the city you'll find
small stands serving obwarzanek, which is basically a bagel with either
poppy seeds or cheese. they make for a perfect little snack during your day of sightseeing.
Let's give it a try.
We're standing in what is known as the Planty which is basically a park that
circles all of the old town. Perfect for a quiet stroll but I think I'm in the
mood for something sweet. Let's go have a nice polish dessert surprise
okay so we have our little surprise nicely wrapped it's called a pączek z różą
which is basically a jelly glazed donut
let's see what do we have here
definitely recommended.
we're now in Grodzka Street one of the most
famous and oldest streets in all of Krakow continuing along the Royal route
and now we're going to enjoy a little bit of Polish country cooking.
This is the sheep cheese, in Poland we call it oscypek. It's very popular
in our mountains, in Zakopane. It's the most popular cheese in Poland I think.
okay so we're gonna put a little cranberry on the cheese.
A little tough to cut but let's see how it tastes. It's got a nice crunch, a nice flavor
Kind of smoky but quite tasty with the cranberry, nice combination
The beautiful Peter and Paul Church serves as the backdrop for our next
Polish dining experience we're going to take you to the famous polish milk bars
which is basically a Polish form of a cafeteria serving up Polish classics
here you'll enjoy a retro experience taking you back in time to the Soviet era
Well I guess you can't come to Poland without having some cabbage so we've got
what they call bigos which is basically kind of a cabbage stew with sausage.
Let's see how it tastes. It's nice, got kind of a chili taste
So we've reached the end of the Royal route and the spectacular Wawel Castle
Polish people are known to love their soups so to keep the royal theme we're
going to take you to a fancy restaurant and enjoy a bowl.
okay so I'm so hungry I decided to have two soups. What was this one?
This is the zurek, it's the white borscht.
Inside you have the brown sausage with egg and potatoes
This is that beetroot soup
Okay so first we'll start with the zurek
Got a nice piece sausage on there.
So this is the borscht, the beetroot soup
Nice purple color. It's tangy good, I really like that one.
We made it to the Kazimierz district of Krakow or the Jewish quarter right now
we're standing in the centre of the area known as Plac Noyy
Here you can enjoy what might be my favorite food in all of Krakow known as the zapiekanka.
I'd try to explain it but I think better you see it to believe it
let's go!
French bread pizza and today I went with chicken sweet corn pickles and bacon and
top it with little barbecue sauce as any good pizza would have so here we go
never disappoints very good and best enjoy it at about three or four o'clock
in the morning after lots of vodka
might be here a while
no trip to Krakow is complete without a Polish sausage so we ventured outside the
old town to enjoy some polish street food let's go hit the truck and try the
best kielbasa in town
Looks like another empty plate. It's been a long day and I gotta say I'm stuffed
but I hope you enjoyed our taste of Krakow. Now it's your turn,
make sure to bring your appetite with you for your next trip with us to Poland
we're looking forward to having you as our guest in Krakow
