Food / Russian pirogi ("pierogi ruskie") or Polish pierogi? [15]

Some time ago I read an article, written by Makłowicz ( if i remember correctly) who stated that pierogi most likely came to eastern/central europe with the mongols from the far east. Similiar thing happened with the sour cabbage(kapusta kiszona). This dish has been adopted and throughout the centuries modified by the four named earlier nations. I doubt that one could actually trace the exact place of origin of that dish but what we know for certain is that it has been part of Polish, Belarus, Ukraine and Russian cuisine for centuries. I think that all four nations claims are valid. Still I would be interested why do you think that pierogi are strictly an Ukrainian dish. and not say Belarusian?

PS: I'm from Wielkopolska and truth be told my grandmother tried pierogi for the first time only few years ago. It was never part of our regional cuisine and I must say that pyzy with kaczka po poznańsku and kapusta modra is my favourte polish dish. mmmm :) Pierogi are also nice though. ;)

Food / Russian pirogi ("pierogi ruskie") or Polish pierogi? [15]


Aside of Poland and Ukraine there are also Belarus and Russia that claim pierogi to be their national dish. Truth be told all those countries have the right to do so. As for the "pierogi ruskie", they are as much russian as "ryba po grecku" is Greek. Just to make things clear, there is no such thing as "ryba po grecku" in Greek cuisine. :)

Ahh, I understand. Thanks for the info. :)

Interesting. My childhood best friends name was Wala. They knew for certain that this name has been altered by their grandfather and prevoius to that change it was spelled Walla. Whether this was the original they didn't know. Since we live near Poznan I just thought that they may have some Scotish ancestors. Is the term walla an english term?

Ahh yes, and it best goes with the name Wiliam... :) Thanks for the response.

Could the surname Walla be a Scotish surname by any chance Seanus?

History / Comment on YouTube regarding Powstanie Warszawskie [32]

I don't think that isthatu actually disagrees with that. He just stated the obvious, that without the Red Army’s help the Germans wouldn't be out of Poland in 1944. Nor in 1945. Nor in the 50's…


Never say never. It is one thing to conquer a country and another thing to actually keep it.

Life / Goth scene in Poland [30]


Greetings to you too. In deed, it was loads of fun, but I started to listen to punk rock in the mid 90's. The first years of wild capitalism, unemployment was high, Jarocin was just cancelled, after the fall of communism punk rock was in retreat and searching for other enemies one could revolt against and continue to exist. Thus the explicit popularity of all the antiglobalist (pardon me, it's now called alterglobalist), Marxist, animal-, gay-, women-rights, anti-racist, anti-fascist, anti-church, anti-whatever movements in the punk rock world.

The awakening came one day when I realized that listening to the bands like Piekło Kobiet (Women's Hell) or Crass was not the best way to spend my leisure\re time. :) There was no rock and roll any more present in punk rock. It was to serious and eventually people that claimed to be against any dogmas and considered to be free thinkers created their own dogma. What a pity. The same with Oi and HC. I'll stick to my T.Love, Ramones, Manam and Misfits records, thank you. :)

Yeah, punk rock can be dangerous. :) And I totally adore Adam and the ants!

These year seems to be special for moi. I already am a lucky owner of a ticket for The Police concert in Chorzów in June and I just cant miss Sex Pistols in July on Opener Festival in Gdynia! Woohooo! I'll have to practice my pogo steps though! ;P

Life / Goth scene in Poland [30]


lol Now how did I survive here being a punk rocker as adolescent?

As for the initial question, the scene is almost non-existent. Quite frankly, for some unknown reason, it was never strong. Still, there is an interesting festival that you might want to check in July.
