  Fun fact: polish cuisine has a number of dishes, which names refer to some other countries, but the funny thing is people from those countries mostly never heard of such dishes...<br>Examples:<br>- Placek po węgiersku - &quot;hungarian-style potato pancake&quot;, AKA &quot;gypsy potato pancake&quot;, AKA &quot;rogue (or &quot;bandit&quot;) potato pancake. In reality, goulash IS a hungarian dish, but Hungarians never pair it with potato pancakes ( or so I was told),<br>- Śledź po japońsku - &quot;japanese-style herring&quot;. Japanese never heard of that. The name probably was made up, because the dish resembles a bit japanese sushi-style foods,<br>- Pierogi ruskie - &quot;potato and cheese dumplings&quot; AKA &quot;russian pierogi&quot;. That one is actually misnomer coming from wrong translation. The polish adjective is &quot;ruski&quot;, which CAN refer to Rosja (Russia), but in case of pierogi it actually refers to Ruś (Ruthenia), which historically was a part of polish kingdom, Red Ruthenia or Red Rus, specifically.<br>In Russia, they don&apos;t even know that kind of dumplings. In Ukraine, they are called &quot;polish pierogi&quot;.<br><br>The way that polish people mostly eat pork knuckle, is with spicy mustard, few slices of plain bread and cold, light beer. Some also prefer horseradish to mustard. From what I&apos;ve seen in video, you had everything, except for the beer. I mean, pork knuckle and beer is a &quot;match made in heaven&quot; 😁<br><br>Polish foods, that every tourist has to try, especially in Kraków:<br>- maczanka (bun with pulled pork and sauce mainly, there are many varieties),<br>- zapiekanka (again, many varieties, the most traditional is with mushrooms and cheese, sometimes also pickle),<br>- pączki z różą (rose jam donuts, the best ones 😁),<br>- obwarzanki krakowskie (braided bagels, but more tasty, than the ordinary bagels; my favorite are sprinkled with rough salt),<br>- kaszanka, AKA kiszka, AKA krupniok (polish blood sausage, kind of like irish haggis, but made of pigs blood and buckwheat &nbsp;or barley, sounds horrible, but tastes great, especially when it&apos;s hot an fried with onion; it&apos;s more of an upper silesian traditional food, but I guess every Pole knows it),<br>- oscypek (both &quot;raw&quot; and grilled, with a side of cranberry sauce; personally I prefer to eat them cold),<br>- korbacz AKA korboc (a variety of oscypek; it&apos;s a braided, salty string cheese, originating from Slovakia and southern regions of Poland).<br><br>Also, when you are in Kraków, and you&apos;re a fan of good coffee, you HAVE to visit &quot;Pożegnanie z Afryką&quot;. The name refers the film &quot;Out of Africa&quot;, based on Karen Blixen&apos;s book.<br>Even though I live close to Kraków, I wasn&apos;t there in years, so I don&apos;t know, if the establishment still exists, but if it does, and you go inside, the incredible aroma is overwhelming. Best coffee I ever had. You can choose from dozens of tastes, my favorites are &quot;Five Tastes&quot;, &quot;Irish&quot; and &quot;Ethiopian&quot;. The latter is a bit sour, but super-strong, if you need some &quot;pick-me-up&quot;. You can also buy coffee there, both in whole beans, or have it ground right away. I suggest to buy whole beans and grind them at home (it keeps the aroma longer). You can even buy as little as 5 or 10 grams, and they will pack it for you. Last time I was there, they would bring you a whole china pot, full of your chosen type of coffee, and you pour it yourself. You could also order a special kind of chocolate cake, that goes perfectly with coffee. The coffee shop is in Old Town, but it&apos;s not big, so I guess it&apos;s easy to miss, it&apos;s on &nbsp;ulica Św Tomasza 21, I think ( St Thomas Street 21).

  Herring is a snack for vodka. You should drink the whole glass at once, then swallow the vodka, exhale deeply, then bite the herring, and drink the second glass, the so-called &quot;On the second leg&quot;

  An interesting fact about the man playing the trumpet on the tower. Of course, this is not the only person, there are several bugle callers and they can only be firefighters. Two of them are on duty during 24 hours. To become such a bugle caller, you have to pass a difficult fitness test. <br>Trumpeters play bugle call to the four corners of the world: for the king, for the mayor, for guests arriving in Krakow and for the commander of the fire brigade.

  Just visited Kuchnia u Doroty and ordered the potato pancakes and goulash dish. It was glorious. Thanks. Went overboard, got a full order as well as a side of grilled mushrooms and tossed a few of them into the sauce. Ate half and most the sauce was absorbed. The restaurant was awesome and when packaging the rest for take away, along with a container filled to the brim with more sauce.
