Does Polish pierogi also have its story of origin? [43]
A lot of recipes are akin to other recipes.

In case your government in China is blocking access to the website above, here is a quote for you:
The origins of pierogi are difficult to trace. While dumplings as such are found throughout Eurasia, the specific name pierogi, with its various cognates in the West and East Slavic languages, shows the dish's common Slavic origins, predating the modern nation states and their standardized languages. The East Slavic Belarusians, Russians and Ukranians, the West Slavic Poles and Slovaks, and the Baltic Latvians and Lithuanians all consume this dish, although sometimes under a different name (e.g., kalduny in Belarus and Lithuania). In some East European languages, variants of this dish are known by names derived from the root of the word "to boil" (Russian: варить, varit', Ukrainian: варити, varyty). These include the Belarusian vareniki (варэнiкi), Latvian vareņiki, Russian vareniki (варе́ники), Ukrainian varenyky (варе́ники) (literally "boiled things", from the adjective form varenyy).
There is a definite similarity to Italian ravioli and tortellini or Jewish kreplach. In Turkey, Transcaucasus, and Central Asia round pockets of dough with a meat filling are called manti, khinkali, or chuchvara. In East Asia, similar foods are served, such as Chinese wonton and jiaozi, Japanese gyoza, Mongolian buuz, Nepalese/Tibetan momo, Afghani mantu, and Korean mandu.Maybe you are right,the word pierogi has 3000~5000 years history,but i don't think you are right to compare one word with one food!
Why not?
About the culture,i always think so: nationality's culture also belongs to the world's! when one nationality creates a new civilization,it must influence the whole world.then the whole humen race get development.no matter China,Poland,American,UK,Germany,Austrilia......or African countries.no matter developed,developing or poor countries at present,each one has its own important role in historical development of human being.
What's that all about?
When they first ate pierogi there was no Polish nationality.
You asked a question and you received an answer. So what is the problem?
Every country has its sense of pride about its own culture,we respect other countries' cultures,so we are here and discuss everything objectively.i welcome all the friends to show their opinions in my threads,but please pay attention phraseology and not to hurt other people's culture pride!!!
First, Chinese respect for other cultures is not such a simple thing. And that's just one example. So let's better stick to pierogi, okay?
Second, opinions are OK where opinions suffice. Facts are not a matter of opinion. 2+2=4, no matter what your opinion on the subject is. Poland, and the rest of the world owe a lot to Chinese inventors (paper, explosives, silk - of just a few that come to mind. But pierogi, ravioli and such are not among the things the world owes to the Chinese.
