Food / Polish polskie pierogi recipe (prepared at home) [72]

Don't we all just love Pierodgi....Try this for the filling.

Precook and season a small amount of pork mince, mix with Chineese spring roll vegitables, you know finely sliced cabage, Bamboo shoots, onion and grated carrot. Fill your pastry and boil as usual, and its always best fried the day after.

Ok. Ok! Nice one..:)..

Hi Tlum..I haven't been yet, looking at going in late october. I know its getting cold but my youngest son will be off school then. Just got accomodation sorted out in a pention house on the outskirts of Gorlice, at 40zl per person per night find it very reasonable. In fact there is a whole range of cheap accomondation in this area from hotels in the big towns to cottages, guest houses, farm and pensions, hostels, camp sites and mountian shelters in the villages and countryside. Im realy looking forward to it.

As bolo sugests it is a pity this area is not offered in English more. From what I've managed to gleane from the host of internet sites, of which have very few have english versions, it is a very beautiful area to visit , especialy if you like hill and forest walking, lake sailing and horse treking and more. Perhaps its meant to be a Polish secret, "dont want stag and hen parties "

Does anyone know what the name ZELEM could mean. It is a Lemko name as far as I know , but it does have a Hebrew ring to it , don't you think.

Yes Marek..
as far as I know and from what I've managed to google...were in Malopolskie, east south east of krakow about 160km to Gorlice.in the Gorlice district. Bodaki,Malastow and Bartne lie South of Gorlice 15/16 km at the foot of the Beskid Niski's.

Would need to know where to stay, how would be best to get arround?. Is there suitable places to stay arround Bartne area?. Is English spoken, I speak a little Polish and I'm trying to study more, but my wife none at all.

As you see any help at all is good...Thank you

HI I'm new here.

I'm from Manchester England...born of polish parents who landed as displaced people after WW11.

Hoping to visit Poland in late October this year and go on the ancesral trail of Mothers family name of Zelem...This will take me to the Gorlice district of Bodaki, Malastow and Bartne, where according to Dziaducz Zelem " the world like the road ends."

From what I'm told most of the family were dispersed during 1947, although at least two homesteads still remain, I hope that this is true.

Any help with the district or the family whereabouts would be greatfuly apreaciated.

Dziekuje Genek.......
