A little Histori about Polish donuts - centuries ago donuts were stuffed with pig fat and various meat were consumed on Thursday and fasting on Friday. At that time, fasting in Poland was very restrictive. Today it is served sweet and is called Fat Thursday. Poles are occupying all bakeries and pastry shops at that time.

Inside bread is no soup, but Bigos, and it have nothing to do with hunter stew, but if that makes it easier for you to describe it sure thing. But you should call this Bigos, and real Bigos is something very special only for Slavic countrys and comes from poland, and takes 3 days to cook. Its known from Kings party where citisens outside the castle made a big container pot of clay where they cooked 2 types of cabbage and added meat leftovers from kings party. On third day the clay pot was cracked open and there was plenty of delicious food for everyone.

Very nice video. Greatings from Florida

Cucumbers: lactofermented - "kiszone" - be sure that they are hard not mushy and without mold. They are great with some spicy meat like kielbasa; "małosolne" - less fermented, more marinated in herbs (garlic) and salt. I'm not sure if they're polish but they are worth trying especially for their distinct taste and crunchiness. You will find them at bazar (prepare some cash). Near main square you can find gingerbread shop where you can buy sour and dry version of gingerbread distinct from famous Toruń gingerbread which are more wet and honey (or hard as rock). This could apply more to Krakow region but cabbage stewed with meat is incredibly flavorful.

Kurna chata is like a willage house back in a days. Centuries ago in Poland tax was collecting basing on the count of chimneys. The more chimneys in a house the higher tax you pay. Many people back then, specially thouse poor on the countryside decided to biuld a houses without a chimneys to avoid paying taxes. They want to burn fire inside the houses disregarding the fact that there were no chimney. Thouse houser soaked out the smoke throught the roof. That is the origin of the word "kurna" which means like smokey. "Chata" means old/cheap house.

I can be wrong but I think you'll find a lot of restaurants in Poland have slow service. Polish people don't go to restaurants as often, it's more of a special occasion. On top of that a lot of people connect slow service with freshly prepared foods, and not microwaved or reheated.

Glad you like it ...Polish food taste so good

Other way with Ruskies, Spinach and possibly with "hunter stew" pierogi is to fry some bacon, onions on the side and when you serve it, crumble cold white cheese and top it with bacon and onions. Hot stuffing contrasts really nice with cold cheese.

There's two style of borsch, regular with chunks, and "czysty" (clean) which is strained and usually served as a drink with solid food as opposed to a soup course on its own.

If at all possible, please make your own homemade pierogi. It's not that hard but it's time consuming. Pick a cold rainy day and try making them at home. Nothing like homemade. My favorite pierogi are sour kraut with caramelized onions and finely chopped sauteed mushrooms. Also love the farmer cheese. Many of these videos call it cottage cheese, but it's actually farmer cheese. They are similar but very different.

It was "Pyra with a Gzik". Pyra - potato, Gzik - cottage cheese. "Potatoes with cottage cheese" typical of the Wielkopolska region. Potatoes can be baked or cooked. Bigos(Hunter stew) is a mixture of sauerkraut and white cabbage with the addition of several sausages and several types of meats(venison is the best), forest mushrooms, dried fruit and red wine. You have to cook it for several days. That's why you won't eat real hunter stew in a restaurant. Modern sanitary law prohibits such food preparation.

Being Polish is great because of the buildings and history including FOOD

Poland

You eat tatar (row beef with egg, onion and cucumber) and śledź (row fish in cream).

This hunting stew is Bigos, known already in the Middle Ages among the Polish nobility - a snack at the end of hunting, also eaten by kings.

Ja jestem zazdrosny ❤

There are two types of barszcz first is the one you have with croissant or with uszka and the second is made with pices of beetroot, veggies or potatos and with sour cream.

Next time visit Włodowica street where you can find many different food styles. I guess next time you have to be at least 7 days to visit all the good places with food, not only in the tourist area. Have a safe trip.

I can see how Google could've got it wrong, since "kurna" also happens to be a mild swearword, but that is not (I presume) what the restaurant had in mind when picking the name XD
