I'm a lover of savoury, meaty, sour dishes so żurek, bigos and gołąbki are one of my most favourite dishes ♥ Greetings from the Czech Republic!

I visited Poland for work for about five days and I fell so in love with the food and the people. There was such flavor in every bite and no two potato dishes tasted the same. I had stuffed cabbage leaves (vegetarian) often and they were fabulous. The soups and stews warmed me up as it was February and really needed them. But my favourite was this duck dish cooked in a berry/cherry sauce. I can close my eyes and still taste it. I’d visit again in a heart beat.

One of the earliest was when she wanted to make nalesniki but she didn't know all the English words for the ingredients, so it was quite a guessing game with many funny misunderstandings, but she eventually made them and we were all very excited. Thanks for unearthing this beautiful nostalgic memory! ♥️

It looks like your Shereshewsky family came from east of the "Salty-Sweet" line, so I'm thinking that your mother's stuffed cabbage was not sweet and sour, like my family's was (or at least my mother's family). There's a jagged line that goes through Poland that basically has to do with where the sugar-beet industry developed or didn't in the early 19th century. Where it did, Polish families (irrespective of religion) began integrating the now more-affordable sugar into their cuisine. Supposedly, if you're Eastern-European Jewish, that line also determines whether your family thinks matzo brei is an omelet (savory) or a pancake (sweet) and adorns it accordingly. Don't you love when there's a historical explanation for food and its preparation?!

Im polish and I'm so happy about this episode! 💜💜💜

When I was in culinary school, in our International Foods course, we had to make the fruit soup and I highly recommend it, it is delicious!

That’s the only Polish cuisine video I’ve seen that accurately shows actual traditional dishes that people eat here, not what tourists get at crappy tourist trap restaurants (spinach pierogi and sausage with onion 90% the time). Good job!

There's a polish restaurant near my home, and their Pyzy is much smaller, probably like what you were expecting (think, like 6 golf-ball size dumplings vs 2 big ones...roughly the same amount of food I think). I love them.

They are normally smaller and round - these look more like kartacze or Lithuanian zeppelins, but the difference is likely mostly in size and shape. I don't think these recipes are governed by any ruling body so most families have likely used interchangeable names with varied sizes, ingredients and serving methods.

It always makes me so proud and happy when you like Polish food :) This episode made me so nostalgic about my childhood, damn it, I’m going to make some kompot tomorrow XD

My favorite episode!! Greetngs from Poland! ❤

The dishes looked amazing and all great suggestions. Glad you enjoyed polish food!

May we have a beets episode that's not Borscht?

I love gingered beets/ with sour cream

My Polish godparents made me stuffed cabbage and I got to take home leftovers and it was so amazing and I loved it so much! Every time I ate my leftovers, I did a happy dance.

I'm german. A neighbour of mine is from Poland. Need to show her this one. My challenge: (I'm learning to forage mushrooms. And the polish are always crazy about mushrooms.) WHAT is your favourite recipe for mushrooms? I've seen "the polish chef" on here, Dariusz, making a filling for pieroggi with sauerkraut and mushrooms. I have a recipe for kotletti grzibowe (Is that right? I dont speak polish.) Some people don't like the texture of some mushrooms. I've dried some and made a powder: aroma, but no texture. Beryl: your challenge! Folks: Start helping me out!

Mushroom soup Polish way: boil chicken and/or vegetable bulion, add potatoes, fry big and small chunks of mushrooms with onion on a pan (bit of butter or oil, not too much). Mix with boulion, add sour cream (first mix the sour cream with tiny tiny amount of hot soup in a bowl, and then pour it), add small spoon of lemon juice or vinegar, sugar, pepper and green parsley).

Macrolepiota procera - in Poland we call it Kania. The hat is put into scrumbled egg. Then into bred crumbles, and fried on a pan with butter. It is like vege schnitzel ;). Popular in Poland. Cheers

@@pattym2463 Thanks! The german name is Parasol.While the stem is pretty tough, it can be dried and pulverized to use it in soups, sauces and for mushroom flavoured butter.

Yeess Beryl! I was so so proud and happy when you dipped that potato pancake in sour cream and sugar! Thank you so much, it was truly wonderful helping you with this episode and watch you try everything 🥰

Polish food lover from Poland - me - enjoys this content! 🎉

1/4 Polish, stuffed cabbage was once a year for passover. Eastern European, our heritage, was special occasion food.

I'm not Polish, but I grew up in Pittsburgh (PA) so a lot of the foods featured in this video were just part of every day life. In fact, our school cafeterias served stuffed cabbage every week! One could always find the cucumber salad & the purple slaw at Summer gatherings, too. Sauerkraut was probably my first vegetable, & it would often be slow-cooked with onions, country ribs, & kielbasa. Polish foods are truly the taste of home for me.

Love seeing how Polish and Ukrainian cuisines overlap with variations of foods I grew up eating as a kid in Kyiv in the 90s.

I've been waiting for this episode for years

Good to see different content popping up on my feed! Always looking for something different.

Yay, I'm so happy you enjoyed Polish food! You described it the best, it just tastes like home and grandma's hug. And you are spot on with connecting twaróg (farmer's cheese) to Ricotta used in cheesecakes because in Poland traditionally cheesecake (sernik) is made EXACTLY out of twaróg. Maybe you can do another episode of Polish pastries and cakes some time in the future if you want to and try sernik and Polish donuts (pączki)? Sending love from Poland❤

All the best of luck in this new adventure of yours.

It's great to see you are eating with your favorite spoon again. I'm proud of you.!

We don't eat this in restaurants, we usually eat it in home

“What a superbly featured room and what excellent boiled potatoes! It's been many years since I had such an exemplary vegetable.” I love your shirt! 🤣 🥔

Wow! So happy to be this early love your content beryl! I’ve been following you from great big story :) love the foodie community

Oh Beryl, I am so jealous of you folks in Manhatten, having such a wonderful variety of cuisines at your fingertips. Great video as always! ❤

It’s so special I do not take it for granted ☺️

Just found your channel, new fan! Thanks for your content especially your enthusiasm and honesty I love it.

Awww this episode has to be the best We always knew Beryl is a Polish Jew based in NYC, but I guess we never saw this side of her Yeah she's trying some new things, but mostly this episode is like a journey down nostalgia lane, and it's so nice to see her having a great time She does appreciate and greatly enjoy all different cuisines around the world, but her expressions in this episode are something, you know it's completely unfiltered It was like a kid Beryl eating a bug Sunday feast

There is a polish restaurant in the town I live in and the Bigos and Golabki are my favorite!!

love your t-shirt! Maria from Argentina, always a fan of your videos!

I love trying food from the polish aisle at the supermarket. Love polish mustard ❤

I made sauerkraut soup, just based it off of what I like in a soup. I guess my polish heritage showed because I looked at some recipes after and I must say, pretty close to many of the recipes. I'm definitely a soup girly. I remember potato pancakes as a kid. Sour cream as my family is a fan of it in and on everything. My polish family members were heavy on garlic and vinegar, possibly due to there being Jewish heritage there as well. My grandma was Polish and Lithuanian, so a lot of this feels familiar from my early childhood when we would visit her family in Chicago and go to Polish restaurants.

Beryl, thank you so much for this episode. I want to eat Polish food all day now.

I get 15 minutes for break & your content always takes me out of work mode. Thanks

This makes me so happy. I love seeing my family dishes shared here. I often wondered if our very Americanized family was still doing Polish food "right."

Awe i loved this! My family moved from the Ukrainian part of Poland way back in the day so its fun to see familiar family dishes with a bit if a different spin!

Gołąbki, pierogi and polish soups are the best! Greetings from Gdańsk, love your channel❤❤
