What is Polish cuisine like in the neighboring country, Germany? After traveling around Poland and eating so many DELICIOUS dishes, we were curious as to what Polish food in our area is like. We try different local Polish restaurants and attempt making homemade Polish Pierogi to see what kind of Polish food we can get in Germany. Do you prefer boiled or fried pierogi?

Try closing them with a fork instead of pinching before boiling. Should hold better.❤
boiled pierogi in my opinion is a little more popular, but to be honest in most cases fried pierogi was boiled before frying ^^
Great place and great food
You should try steaming them
Hi. Fried is the next day option. Fresh are always boiled.
Tomato in bigos is a kind of … mortal sin. This is just cabbage stew, but not bigos.
You boil pierogis and pyzy in salty chicken broth not juz plain water. . . .
Great job Deana! <3 In my family (I'm Polish) we only use flour, a pinch of salt and hot water to make the dough (it's believed that the egg makes it tougher, some people add oil, but we don't), and the thinner the dough the better. We eat them boiled the first day, and the second day, when they're maybe not as fresh we fry them up, don't make me choose 😀 as for pierogi with sauerkraut and mushrooms, we usually eat them for Christmas Eve, after watching you make them, I cannot wait for Christmas!!!
Wow, hatte heute 7 Pierogi mit Schmand für 3€. Da hab ich ein echtes Schnäppchen gemacht und die waren handgemacht.
Saurkraut peirogi are my favorite
Does it taste like food that’s been conquered by all of Europe?
Since that’s polands history. Conquered, re conquered, conquered again. Conquered one more time.
Does Dusseldorf use the Julian calendar? We have another month of Autumn till Winter where we live.
You only fry them if you have leftovers (that have been boiled in the first place) this is the Polish way 🙂 .
"Glibery" a new foodie word I've never heard. LOL Your pierogi turned out pretty good. I prefer the boiled pierogi with a little melted butter. LOVE pierogi!
Please, do not try the instant barszcz. It's awful. What other instant dish do you know that tastes good, hello 🙂
Coming from a Pole with ancestors from the capitol of pierogis – Lwów that wasn't bad for a first try. But there's always space for improvements. If you get a good quality gluten rich flour just skip eggs all together. Dough will be much more delicate. You need to roll out the dough to 2-3mm max. For the potato cheese filling carmalized onions are a must. If the filling becomes to sweet balance it out using just salt and black pepper. You can also make them spicier by adding just more black pepper.
Super, I don't add eggs to the dumpling dough, only very hot water and flour. then when the dough is kneaded, I leave it covered and let it rest for 10 minutes
I eat them both ways. Sometimes, I will boil them but then transfer to a pan and fry in a little butter for a couple of minutes on both sides. Then it's a little crispy on the out
side but soft inside. Not as healthy as just boiling but still very tasty.
What kind of a cheese did you use for the filling of the Russian pirogs, cream cheese, same as for cheese cake?
If you want to make Silesian dumplings here's the recipe:
boil 1 kg of potatoes, cool them down and mash them smooth. "Flatten" the mashed potatoes evenly in a bowl.
Take out 1/4 of the potatoes (just cut it in 4 like a pizza and take out one part to make it simple) fill in the created gap with potato starch, add back the taken out potatoes and optionally 1 egg.
The general idea is that you use 4:1 potato to starch ratio.
Form the dumplings. Boil the water (salt it) and throw the dumplings in. The very important thing is that once you throw the duplings into the water you can't let it boil again, so turn down the heat. It has to be barely boilng, but not boiling. Otherwise they will loose the texture. Once they all come up to the surface they are basicly done after 4-5 minutes. you ca ntake out one and spit it to check. Smacznego!
I love Pierogi! :-O
You made me hungry and it's midnight 😮
Boiled for dinner and leftovers pan fried for breakfast!
I want to look for some Polish restaurants to try those dishes or learn how to make them like you did.
What was that word that you were using to describe the dumplings at the end of the video?
The dough is a bit too thick of the Piroggi so i doubt it is handmade
The bigos look nice.
My wife makes it the same way.
The homemade Piroggi looks nice for a first try.
The Polish food in Germany looks good.
I see that it was cooked with lots of care for food
I don't think the made up word, "glibbery" makes me want to try any food described that way. 😮😮😮
Jesteście niesamowici ale nie wszystko jeszcze próbowaliście mizerię jeszcze .Dodatkowo jeszcze u nas jest w zwyczaju rosół więc zapraszam do degustacji
the pierogi dough is just flour, water and salt. eggs and fat make it tough. Let it rest for 1h to make the gluten relax before you roll it
I love anything dumpling-like, dense and chewy so all of this looked amazing! Deana I am so impressed with your homemade pierogi!! You guys are the cutest and your pre-bite food kisses will never get old!! 🥰🥟
❤ your videos ❤ following you for years, your videos make me hungry even as a vegan 😂
Your eyes light up when It comes to food❤😂
If you ever come to Oberhausen, try out the Polish restaurant Gdanska at the Altmarkt. Maybe combine it with visiting the Westfield CentrO shopping mall where you can find a wide variety of international cuisine.
First day – boiled pierogi, next days – fried pierogi because microwaved pierogi are not good. A practical approach.
Do they have bierrocks in Germany?
Pierogi and pyzy you made look amazing and authentic 🤩you're a talented cook
Pierogi ruskie are super easy to make and my favorite. ❤
I’ve been having pierogi withdrawals since 2018😢 I absolutely love Polish food it’s truly amazing. I prefer boiled ones. I love the red pickled cabbage. White asparagus with cheese sauce is divine. Thank you so much for making this video blessings from Oklahoma.
I've been absolutely loving your videos on poland, I was hoping there was gonna be one or two more! Deana maybe you should try making pierogi again using a polish recipe, I know there are a lot of recipes for pierogi written in English by polish people (just don't go for American recipes that use things like cheddar cheese in ruski pierogi haha)
Great and brave attempt at pierogi, congrats! Actually pierogi are quite tricky to make because of the dough, it's really not easy to make this thin, silky, smooth dough at home. I'm Polish, proud of my cooking skills and still failing at making perfect pierogi dough 😀
