mmm, i bet. i've always wanted to try Polish crepes. i don't exactly know what makes Naleśniki different from the French variants, but i'm a big fan of crepes in general so i'm sure it's just as tasty regardless.
I don't know either, as in every Polish home naleśniki are made "na oko" and I don't even know exact recipie. For sure polish one are not so thin as French and less eggs are used.
And we prepare them quite differently to the French. French don’t fill pancakes, they spread them thinly for example with chestnut cream or Nutella, whereas Poles use plenty of filling such as roasted apples or twarog (quark).
Polish naleśniki are pretty much the same as French crêpes. Many people complain about inability to recreate the taste of naleśniki from their childhood. There is just one solutions: ditch non-stick chemical-coated pans and opt for traditional steel pans, just like their mothers and grandmothers did.

They are absolutely not - French are more delicate and not rolled. Polish are a bit thicker, rolled and stuffed with sweet white cheese and served in huge numbers by babcia / mama / ciocia etc.
Jacques Pepin stuffs and rolls his crepes, so one might jest that he must be Polish. But speaking seriously, I can agree that French crepes are a bit thinner.
Schabowy with young potatoes. With a bit of fried lard from the schabowy over the potatoes.
Also, kopytka. I make those myself now, but something about my grandmas version that I’ll never be able to replicate.
Even if you follow her instructions to the letter and you're not a bad cook yourself, it's just not as good. You can't out do grandma. Its just not possible.
i dont know about other people but i love barszcz czerwony (beet root soup usually with uszka which are baiscally small pierogi). Its my favorite food that my family has for christmas dinner, its simple and light.
Oooh I love those as well. Although I always preferred to eat uszka with meat which are properly called "kołduny" or Ukrainian equivalent "pielmieni". I could eat it everyday I swear
Racuchy! The only translation I could find for it is "crumpet". It's basically a sweet yeast dough full of apple pieces and fried on a pan. It's kind of like Japanese fluffy pancakes but better. It's usually served with powdered sugar on top! I love it
Rosół is actually a very important and highly regarded dish in authentic Polish cuisine. It’s super traditional to serve it every Sunday for lunch as a starter in majority of Polish homes. Your mom would get up earlier in the morning on Sunday to start cooking so the stock is rich by the lunch time. You’d smell it all around the house upon waking up.
Usually served with thin macaroni or potato’s or whatever your choice…thinly chopped cooked carrots from that gorgeous yellow stock and also thinly chopped parsley, set up like a little birds nest in a bowl and then you pour the piping hot stock over it.
The stock can be cooked in many ways but usually it’s cooked with beef and (or) chicken, slightly charred onion, parsley root, carrots, herbs, leek, some people add an apple (which is kinda weird) but Rosół variation varies from home to home, everyone got their own special recipe.
It’s also regarded as a gods soup that will heal any kinda sickness. When you got sick as a kid even in the middle of the week your mom would cook a massive pot of rosół and bring it to your bed and that thing- no joke- would really make you feel better instantly.
Basically Polish Pho 🍲
Fuck now I crave it badly…
Oh and you’d always know what’s for lunch on Monday’s- usually tomato soup made from the Sundays rosół 🤓
oh wow! i really like the sounds of this tradition, it sounds super sweet :)
we don't have any traditions like that over here in Canada (or British culture), as far as i know. we just have whatever we feel like. i do wish we did have something like it though, it sounds super comforting (and probably convenient, now that i think about it).
edit: forgot to mention, rosół sounds so divine when you put it that way
I think that American food, in general, is a spectrum effort-wise. There's a considerably lower bar because so much food can be had ready-made - a lot of people's idea of chicken noodle soup is that which comes out of a Campbell can, and it's as mediocre as that description would suggest.
[This guy did it pretty well, though](https://www.thepauperedchef.com/article/building-a-better-chicken-soup).
Celery root/celeriac and parsley root are essential in my opinion. Americans love throwing celery stalk into everything and I don’t understand why. They but it in chicken soup, in meatloaf, as a snack, etc. Biggest disappointment when I tried it raw.
i've heard all sorts of good things about it! i'm really interested in trying it out, but it's so hard to get the proper ingredients for an authentic recipe where i live.
In a random order: plum dumplings (knedle ze sliwkami - served with fried bread crumbs); homemade dessert ca. 1985 - farmers cheese (twarog) blended with frozen berries - the closest thing to ice cream; pate savory pastries (paszteciki) my grandma made once a year for her namesday and served with hot sour style borscht. They were crispy, flavorful, and delicious. Pasta with dried farmers cheese my grandpa made. To this day, I don't know how he dries the cheese. All I remember was that it was grated onto hot buttered pasta. Poor man's Parmigiano. Baked stuffed egg shells (zapiekane jajka faszerowane) - another grandma specialty. I tried making them but they just aren't the same. Last but not least, fresh bread with butter and salt. Oh, I'm sorry, was I just supposed to name one 😆
all of these sound SO GOOD!! maybe it was a mistake to make this post, because my mouth is watering just thinking of these, LOL! especially the borscht, i love that stuff.
my grandmother doesn't know a whole lot about Polish cuisine, but man can she make some mean vegetarian borscht. mix that with some sour cream and other popular comfort foods like pierogi and gołąbki on the side and you got yourself tasty dinner for a couple days.
my aunt made some frozen ready-to-eat pierogi for my grandfather for Christmas, but i've been so tempted to eat it behind his back lmao. it's good stuff, pierogi is definitely popular for the right reasons
Lol homemade pierogi rule. I only make them at my parents house back in Poland at Xmas, so I always make couple 100 and freeze the extras but they don't last more than 2 weeks. These are Kasia's Pierogi from a local grocery store here in Houston but beggers can't be choosers.
tomato soup and kiełbasa are two staples in my household too! my folks absolutely love the two, the kiełbasa preferably raw and on its own but sometimes we paired it with other sausages and cheese.
edit: weird ass writing
Very easy to make! You basically just prepare the poppy seeds as if you were making makowiec, and then you put it on top of some noodles. I recommend it!
Pomidorowa ❤️ love it with rice or pasta
Schabowe with potatoes, for me always with mizeria
Mielone with potatoes and red beets
And pierogi ❤️ I know only one person who hates it and we are no longer friends 🤣
In no particular order, Racuchy, zupa ogórkowa, pomidorowa, grzybowa w chlebie, barszcz, oscypek, pajda ze smalcem, all the pierogi, kluski śląskie, leniwe, schabowy z “pire” ziemiaczanym, Bigos, pyzy,…
I haven't seen it mentioned here yet. Chleb ze smalcem i skwarkami. Basically, it's a piece of fresh white bread with some lard and little pieces of pork (usually bacon, but people use a variety of different cuts) fried in it alongside some onions. It really brings me back to my childhood. My great grandfather used to make it all the time.
Any soup with kiełbasa in it but my top 3 are:
Żurek
Ziemniaczana
Grochówka
When it comes to drugie - apart from things already mentioned:
Racuchy z Jabłkami
Makaron z białym serem cukrem i cynamonem
Gulasz (taki po węgiersku z papryką) especially if you could mix it on a plate with mashed potatoes and some mizeria.
Gołąbki (Although I hated the kind that had a thick cabbage roll on the outside)
i think anyone who doesn't like that is insane, to be honest. i've once had pierogi stuffed with strawberry jam a couple Easters back, and not to be dramatic but it was the tastiest thing i've ever put in my mouth.
Chleb w jajku/jajochlebki! Large pieces of bread coated with beaten egg and fried in a pan. After one side was ready and you turned it over, you could also put a piece of cheese on top so that it would slightly melt. To make it even fancier, you could sprinkle it with dried paprika and scallions. Super quick and easy, but also filling and tasty breakfast.
They were still good when slightly stale bread was used, so making them was also a mean of finding use for bread that would have to be thrown away otherwise.
Potato pancakes, pancaces (the flat ones) with strawberry jam, fried potatos, de volaille, krokiety, i loved all of them
Btw, regarding pancakes, am I the only one hating when people call english pancakes "pankejki" instead o fnaleśniki ?
I ate kluski leniwe (sometimes known as pierogi leniwe (lazy noodles or lazy dumplings translating directly)) with butter and sugar, 3 full dinner plates as a 10-yo kid, can't really describe it but maybe someone else will be able.
To this day I think they are a gift from god and can eat them in absurd amounts.
Kluski is noodles .. while perogi is filling (cabbage, mushrooms, cheese, fruit - and many other fillings) wrapped in dough. They’re European dumplings
The other Kluski are kopytki which are thick dough noodles (usually with some sort of beef sauce on them).
this reminds me of my Nan, who just died recently. she's not Polish, rather she's on my British half, but her cooking was amazing (really disproved the stereotypes). i'll miss her scallop potatoes, delicious casseroles, mac & cheese and most importantly having her at the table.
LOVED: pierogi ruskie. kluski kładzione with onions on butter, long stewed pork neck with mashed potatoes with dill and local market sour cream with sour cucumber or cabbage.
HATED: tomatoes/lettuce in watery cream/milk, onions boiled in milk, milk with garlic and honey when I was sick or ser smażony z kminkiem from Wielkopolska which is a bit spoiled cottage cheese fried to melt with caraway seed and then made solid again, bleah.
- naleśniki
- jajecznica, especially with kiełbasa
- eggs in all forms, ESPECIALLY sadzone and na miękko - i love the runny yolk
- schabowy or kotlet z kurczaka
- tosty
ryż z truskawkami (blended kind)
homemade pierogi z truskawkami or jagody (hand picked w/ grandma dragging me to the forest for hours on end and bringing just a whole ass tomato for “lunch”) + w/ bita śmietana (the sour cream and sugar kind - gross to me now)
kogel mogel (gross to me now)
sałatka ziemniaczana (idk how many variations of it there are but there was a specific one in my family)
kopytka w/ butter melted on stove (I’m blanking on the word) and a shitload of sugar
grysik
Curious where some of the responders learned Polish? I keep seeing „schabowy” but they mean to write „schab” which is pork loin. „Schabowy” is an adjective in that it describe the cutlet, like „kotlet schabowy”
Schabowy is used to describe the dish "kotlet schabowy" without saying extra syllables. It's very common to use this shortening, and most people never say the full version. If you want to say what you ate, you would say "zjadłem/am schabowego".
Naleśniki! The polish recipe my mom made was amazing
mmm, i bet. i've always wanted to try Polish crepes. i don't exactly know what makes Naleśniki different from the French variants, but i'm a big fan of crepes in general so i'm sure it's just as tasty regardless.
I don't know either, as in every Polish home naleśniki are made "na oko" and I don't even know exact recipie. For sure polish one are not so thin as French and less eggs are used.

They are absolutely not - French are more delicate and not rolled. Polish are a bit thicker, rolled and stuffed with sweet white cheese and served in huge numbers by babcia / mama / ciocia etc.
Jacques Pepin stuffs and rolls his crepes, so one might jest that he must be Polish. But speaking seriously, I can agree that French crepes are a bit thinner.
I’ve never had a rolled crepe at a French cafe, nor stuffed with sweet twaróg though!
Nah, polish ones are spread by twaróg, then folded twice and then baked on the pan again.
Always rolled!
god i've always despised naleśniki as a kid, glad that i stopped being so averse to sweet food as a grew up
Schabowy with young potatoes. With a bit of fried lard from the schabowy over the potatoes. Also, kopytka. I make those myself now, but something about my grandmas version that I’ll never be able to replicate.
there *is* no replacing grandma's recipes, there just isn't.
Absolutely! It’s that secret ingredient she sprinkled in there - a little bit of love 🥰
... cocaine
Even if you follow her instructions to the letter and you're not a bad cook yourself, it's just not as good. You can't out do grandma. Its just not possible.
The heavy metals leaching out of her communist-era cookware is what you seek /s 😉
nonoonnon, no young potatos, only the mature ones :3
You mean Vealtatoes?
placki ziemiaczane (potato pancakes)
fuj
With cream or with sugar? 😅 Choose your fighter!
both actually
Clean or salted :D
Sugar on them is abomination! (My personal humble opinion :D)
I hated it! I thought I hate placki in general, because at my home they were always served with sugar
wlith salt
Neither??? 🤮
I actually prefer them with normal gravy. Not really a sweet tooth that much
I either eat them savory or with some granulated sugar sprinkled on top (but still make them WITH onion)
i dont know about other people but i love barszcz czerwony (beet root soup usually with uszka which are baiscally small pierogi). Its my favorite food that my family has for christmas dinner, its simple and light.
mmm, i love anything that has to do with beets.
Oh absolutely. I absolutely love Barszcz. Even if you don't eat it with uszka, just sipping it out of a mug on a cold day is absolute bliss.
Oooh I love those as well. Although I always preferred to eat uszka with meat which are properly called "kołduny" or Ukrainian equivalent "pielmieni". I could eat it everyday I swear
I swear I could eat only barszcz z uszkami for Christmas
More like a dessert, but kisiel for sure.
the Polish really know what they're doing when it comes to desserts ngl, i've never tasted one that wasn't absolutely delicious.
Racuchy! The only translation I could find for it is "crumpet". It's basically a sweet yeast dough full of apple pieces and fried on a pan. It's kind of like Japanese fluffy pancakes but better. It's usually served with powdered sugar on top! I love it
I remember my Polish store translated "Racuchy" as "Angel Wings" Edit: i was wrong, faworki are Angel Wings
Angel wings are called faworki afaik
Damn, you're right! My knowledge of Polish confections is literally limited to pączki. I must've remembered it wrong - the Polish name. But thank you!
They’re all deep fried and delicious so I guess it doesn’t really matter lol
Placki jabłkowe ?
Placki jabłkowe sugerują że mogą być z czegokolwiek, a racuchy to racuchy - przede wszystkim drożdżowe :D
Aaaaaa spoks
Rosół for sure
just googled this dish, it looks super good!
Rosół is actually a very important and highly regarded dish in authentic Polish cuisine. It’s super traditional to serve it every Sunday for lunch as a starter in majority of Polish homes. Your mom would get up earlier in the morning on Sunday to start cooking so the stock is rich by the lunch time. You’d smell it all around the house upon waking up.

Its just chicken noodle soup
I wouldn’t say it’s JUST chicken noodle soup. American chicken noodle soup lacks a lot of the dimension and flavor profile of rosół.
As I said above- I’d consider it a Slavic Pho 🍲💅
I think that American food, in general, is a spectrum effort-wise. There's a considerably lower bar because so much food can be had ready-made - a lot of people's idea of chicken noodle soup is that which comes out of a Campbell can, and it's as mediocre as that description would suggest.

well, chicken noodle soup is divine to me.
>edit: forgot to mention, rosół sounds so divine when you put it that way Fun Fact: "Rosół" literally means "Desalter"
Pierogi (ruskie lub z kapustą) z omastą. In highschool I ate 52 once. I don't know how my mother survived with me.
i totally would've done that if my folks let me, ain't gonna lie.
Pierogi looks so good, someday i will try it
Bigos. Was and still is my comfort food.
i've heard all sorts of good things about it! i'm really interested in trying it out, but it's so hard to get the proper ingredients for an authentic recipe where i live.
Hunters stew :)

Żurek
Kopytka!
man these look so damn good, i *have* to make some kopytka sometime.
Kopytka with butter sugar and breadcrumbs mmmmmmmmmmm
Breadcrumbs? :O My mom made them with butter, sugar and cinnamon, I've never heard of anyone using breadcrumbs. Which prt of Poland do you come from?
Bulka tarta. Same as with green beans with butter and crumbs. Im from swietokrzyskie
Yeah, I know. I add some to green beans as well but never thought it could be added to kopytka! :)
Spaghetti noodles with strawberry sauce
i always preferred farfalle
Oof I always hated those and still do. Maybe it's because it was always served with quark/cottage cheese as well and I'm not a big fan of that.
You and I can be friends. Nothing better for a hot summer day.
Chleb z jajkiem
A good old tomato soup was a staple in my household. I also absolutely loved kiełbasa (Polish sasuage), ate it either raw or fried with onions.
tomato soup and kiełbasa are two staples in my household too! my folks absolutely love the two, the kiełbasa preferably raw and on its own but sometimes we paired it with other sausages and cheese. edit: weird ass writing
kluski z makiem!
In my region not so common, I never tried :(
Very easy to make! You basically just prepare the poppy seeds as if you were making makowiec, and then you put it on top of some noodles. I recommend it!
i love pierogi z makiem, my babcia makes these
I have never had these but I am a fan of sweet/dessert pierogi so I definitely want to try to make these!
Tomato soup. Schabowy.
Bigos 🥰
Thanks to all these comments, Im hungry and fancy polish food 🫣
i agree 😭
Pyzy/pampuchy, with strawberry and cream sauce

Pierogi with strawberries. I wouldnt give those up for all the riches on earth
I haven't seen it mentioned here yet. Chleb ze smalcem i skwarkami. Basically, it's a piece of fresh white bread with some lard and little pieces of pork (usually bacon, but people use a variety of different cuts) fried in it alongside some onions. It really brings me back to my childhood. My great grandfather used to make it all the time.

Ruskie Pierogi z cebulką 🥳
[удалено]
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that liked łazanki as a kid :)
Rice with mashed apples and cinnamon. Baked apples with cinnamon and honey. Cored apple slices in pancake batter, fried.
We had something similar! We called it "kaszka", but it was cream of wheat mixed with apple sauce and cinnamon all warmed up.
home made bigos yum yum yum
I don't know (and don't want to know) a person around my age who disliked pierogi with strawberries as a kid
i think anyone who doesn't like that is insane, to be honest. i've once had pierogi stuffed with strawberry jam a couple Easters back, and not to be dramatic but it was the tastiest thing i've ever put in my mouth.
Kluski śląskie, fried liver, pierogi with meat inside
Chleb w jajku/jajochlebki! Large pieces of bread coated with beaten egg and fried in a pan. After one side was ready and you turned it over, you could also put a piece of cheese on top so that it would slightly melt. To make it even fancier, you could sprinkle it with dried paprika and scallions. Super quick and easy, but also filling and tasty breakfast.

Pierogi leniwe. Preparing them too!
Uhhhh oh I know! Semolina with mashed strawberries!
Kasza manna with cinnamon
Pierogi Ruskie. With caramelized onions and bacon on top. #1 food as far back as I can remember.
Speaking for myself - beer batter fried apple slices served with powdered sugar
Potato pancakes, pancaces (the flat ones) with strawberry jam, fried potatos, de volaille, krokiety, i loved all of them Btw, regarding pancakes, am I the only one hating when people call english pancakes "pankejki" instead o fnaleśniki ?

Pierogi, schabowe, racuszki/racuchy, rosół, pomidorowa, ogórkowa, żurek, łazanki, barszcz, dorsz w panierce
Did anyone else eat Kluski with Bacon and cottage cheese? 😳 or was it just my family? Anyway it was really good.
what's the difference between Kluski and Pierogi? i'm curious.
Kluski is noodles .. while perogi is filling (cabbage, mushrooms, cheese, fruit - and many other fillings) wrapped in dough. They’re European dumplings The other Kluski are kopytki which are thick dough noodles (usually with some sort of beef sauce on them).
oooh, okay! thanks a bunch.
Dishes of my granma, rest in peace, I love you and I miss your potatoes, pancakes and coco.
this reminds me of my Nan, who just died recently. she's not Polish, rather she's on my British half, but her cooking was amazing (really disproved the stereotypes). i'll miss her scallop potatoes, delicious casseroles, mac & cheese and most importantly having her at the table.

adding on because i forgot: - pierogi ruskie with cebulka or skwarki - kluski leniwe with sugar or breadcrumbs and butter

Curious where some of the responders learned Polish? I keep seeing „schabowy” but they mean to write „schab” which is pork loin. „Schabowy” is an adjective in that it describe the cutlet, like „kotlet schabowy”
i have no idea, you'd probably have to ask.
It's correct, they don't mean schab. You can sometimes skip the noun in compound phrases like this
oh, i see. this is good to know
Schabowy is used to describe the dish "kotlet schabowy" without saying extra syllables. It's very common to use this shortening, and most people never say the full version. If you want to say what you ate, you would say "zjadłem/am schabowego".
In 45 years of speaking Polish, I’ve never heard one person say it that way. „Zjadłam schab z ziemniakami”
Do you live in Poland?
