Do you enjoy watching food tests? If so, I have something special for you today. The reaction of a certain American to a Polish delicacy is brilliant. How did he rate this Polish national snack?

Food tests are very popular online. And since the culinary world is my biggest hobby, I love watching these types of videos. I must admit, these activities have not only a wide range of processes, but also sometimes a shocking, amusing, or surprising end result. 

Each of the world's cuisines can boast its own delicacies. And for people who interact with it on a daily basis, it can be something completely normal and natural. At the same time, for someone who has never before encountered such traditions and customs, it can be a real big challenge.

Polish dishes tested

Of course, I most enjoy watching movies that are about Polish cuisine. I love observing people's reactions when they eat our dumplings for the first time, all sorts of fermented foods, topped with cucumbers, or the traditional stew

I don't know if you know this, but a substantial number of foreigners, the moment they hear how Poles make our pickles, they flat out say no. For Polish people, this behavior may be extremely puzzling, but it’s as if, out of nowhere, someone were to make us eat snails or frog legs. And these are just the start of a long list of such "delicacies".

An American is trying Polish oscypek

While browsing TikTok recently, I came across a very funny video. It was posted on their profile by @woosabywik, a Polish-American married couple. You can find there more similar content concerning the differences between both nationalities. Wossa and Wiki of course do it with a wink, in a very humorous way. Therefore, it's no wonder that their videos attract a lot of interest.

It was no different recently, when an American tried the iconic Polish snack. In this case, it's obviously about the brilliant Oscypek cheese, which the man could taste along with cranberry sauce. 

And although it was clear that Wossa didn't expect the cheese to be so stretchy, he was generally pleased with the flavor of the snack. He stated that it's good. When asked to rate the snack, he responded that it's cheesy. Which amused me greatly.

This time the test was a success. And overall, it's not surprising, because who cannot love Oscypek? In this case, I think the fact that Americans really like cheese also helped. Therefore, the Polish version had a head start. Do you agree with me?
