Pierogi taboos ways you SHOULD NOT create/cook/season them.

What are ways you SHOULD NOT create, cook, and season pierogi?
Are there any dangerous chefs on these forums that cook them in forbidden ways?

Never, ever put kabanos kielbasa as a filling.

Try them with feta.

also what shouldn't you eat along with pierogi?

no ketchup

its ok with ketchup but much better with mayonese. no taboos about pierogi.

Oi! Mayonnaise?? I cannot think of anything more foul...

Add no powidla... :)

Sasha. Pierogi po rusku here in Poland are those perogies with cheese and potato.
Are those the most popular in Russia? I don't quite understand the reference..
From what I know, all sorts of perogies are made in each region of Slavija, with no specific region mastering one kind.

I hate cheese, I like the cabbage filled ones.

Hello, Filios! :)
To avoid misunderstanding...
Here's Russian "pirogi".
They may be stuffed with meat, cheese, powidlo (jam... usually apple) or anything else.

This is what I think you mean by Polish pierogi.



So the word "pi(e)rogi" is kinda false-friend in this case, cause we call pretty same way different things. This dish exist in Russian and Ukranian quisine under the different name - "vareniki" (derives from the verb "varit"=to boil). It's usually stuffed with curd, cheese etc. In case the filling is a meat we call it "pelmeni". I don't know why... probably that's only a question of my personal preference but I can't imagine them stuffed with any kind of sweet (like "powidlo") filling. However I know people that stuff 'em here with some fruit or berries (usually plums, blueberries, cherry).

Bracie Sasha! I believe you have mistaken Polish pierogi for Chinese cuisine! Looks to be wonton ;)

Thank you for the clarification for Russian pirogi.

name ruskie pierogi has nothing to do with Russia. They are from Red Ruthenia ( Eastern Galicia ) the region divided between Poland and Ukraine. so Russians have every right to have no idea what are Poles talking about when they ask about ruskie pierogi.

Sorry. :) I just googled it by that name and didn't pay much attention to its form. I just thought there were plenty of its forms. Your picture is much more precise. Vareniki looks similar way. :)


Yeah... :) I sometimes order them in the US not having a chance to order pelmeni. Basically they're all very close: pastry+filling boiled.


So what do you finally mean by that term? :)

name ruskie doesnt come from word "Росси́я" but from "Русь". Red Ruthenia in polish is Ruś Czerwona.

I heard of that version and I agree that the word "Rossija" at that point a bit artificial. But since what began as the Anciet Rus grew up to Russia, why shouldn't one treat "pirogi" as sorta heritage? In the modern Russian Ruthenians are called "rusini".

Actually these are Dim Sun, Won Ton are quite similar, but contain only meat and there is much more very thin dough involved.

Ahh, I see. Point noted, thanks! ;)
