My family has a plainer style of Polish cooking, but I can easily see how a restaurant would want to jazz up their cuisine for customers seeking a sit down restaurant experience. A lot of the dishes are stuff you only really have at Wigilia, Easter or some other special occasion. I'm sure the food I love at Thai and Indian places is dressed up a bit compared to what you'd get at a middle class Indian or Thai family's home. My wife and I make potato pancakes somewhat regularly, and they're one of my favorite dishes of all time. We tend to make a lot at a time, at least 50-60, because they disappear fast. My wife eats a normal amount, but I will eat them for every snack and meal until they're gone, which is usually in under 48 hours. Me and the potato are best friends.

This is like really fast recipe for pierogi, the best way to make them is to boil them, and you shouldn't give sauce all over it, maybe some fried onion (small pieces) and bacon (small pieces too, and I'm almost sure that these pierogis are worse than these in my house (we are making filling ourselfes, and i think she bought it, also this Hungarian thing (idk how it was called in English) shouldn't be that caloric, maybe put paper towel under it for couple of minutes. Sorry if my English is bad.

A lot of the food looks great, but coming from a Hungarian who's family owned a Hungarian restaurant, there is nothing Hungarian about the Hungarian pancake. We make potato pancakes too, but nothing like that, just the regular ones with sour cream, but more likely to be Langos (fried bread) And, that is NOT Goulash. Goulash is a beef soup with mild paprika and seasoning, carrots, celery, potatoes, onion, and of course, the meat. If it is not a soup, it is not Goulash.

I love that Eater, you guys show immigrants making amazing food. Im in Australia and we have a great food culture but its dominated by Asian (which is great cos it means we get a LOT of great Asian resteraunts though some do westernise too much) and other cuisines are ones you have to really travel for. Though you will have like 3 or 4 Chinese, Vietnamese, Indonesian or Japanese places local. Keep making tasty vids!

those dumplings look bad, cake should be much thinner so the balance between the stuffing and cake is better and overall taste is not dominated by it, also the amounts of fat they use. ridiculous. my grandma when she does dumplings you can almost see through the cake and instead of frying them on fat we use salty water to boil them and then we add a bit fat and greaves on top.

Food looks very yummy, although very basic. I'm Polish, and I sure as heck would add more than just salt and pepper to all of those dishes, salt and pepper can only take you so far. Still depending on the price, very homely food: )

Great video and almost everything that was said in it was true, but the Hungarian Pancakes are not really a street food in Poland, and it is not really eaten like a taco: ) It's mostly done only at homes or schools now.

The best thing about America is the blending of food cultures. I would have never tried pierogis till I met my Polish friends in South Florida. I definitely shared some Jamaican jerked chicken with them, they loved it.

Whenever I hit poland I'm eating Golonka Podwale, Kompania Pivne (spelling) in Warzaw - the greatest dish in the world at the greatest diner! Absolutely delicious with Cytrynowka (lemon vodka) and Tyskie beer!

I see an order of _golabki (stuffed cabbage)_ on the table. Too bad they didn't try that on film. Visited Poland a couple of years ago and this brings me back. Hearty, delicious food. Another excellent episode.
