Polish Food - 40 flavors of pierogies in the US

Ooo... I bet this one is like a little stromboli! Yum! :D


This one sounds good too!

tz, have you ever had a real deal Polish pierogi?

I have. But the same old potato ones get kinda boring. I'm always up for trying something new and tasty! :D
Stop being so... food xenophobic! :p

i'm very particular about food.... it must taste just right...

you've never tasted it before...


right it is.

Lately my store where I get my cold cuts and Polish stuff got those new pierogi made with whole grain flour. I guess they were trying to update the old recipes but it taste just awful.

like what? pizza or cheeseburger pierogi? hell no! and i never will! lol

Peanut butter pierogi is just right for Americans; after all, they will chow anything, as long as the portions are big. I would propose mint jelly pierogi chased down with grapefruit juice.

I see modified pizza roll, which, while not being the peak of the culinary spectrum, they do fill a tummy for a while when you have enough alcohol in the body.


Shouldn't you be out drinking? Stay out a bit longer and start fantasizing about PBJ pierogi.

yuck.... lol


it's gross itself...

;)

i've said it before and i'll say it again:

tuna melt pierogi

exactly, the plural of pieróg is pierogi. You lose the accent in the plural....

Who outside of Poland would know this? I bet a lot of Poles don't even know it... I've seen them call them perogies. Damn impossible language...


Yuck. I'm with you on that one. :p

In the US one can encounter pierogi filled with feta cheese and spinach as well as 'ruskie' made not with twaróg but with a yucky orange-coloured fake cheese known as Velveeta. I reckon they produce whatever the market will buy.

Maybe I'm alone on this one, but if you want to offer Polish food, it should be authentic. If people don't like it, there is always McDo or some other garbage. While I can stomach tuna melt, let's not call that Polish food.

amen...

Odd, the website I checked showed the accent. That'll teach me for not relying on Google Translate! :(


It's not impossible, it's just a bastardised Polonia word.

Interestingly, Brits don't call them "pierogies", but "pierogi".

Anyone who reads the label on a packet of pierogi. ;)

Not hard really, is it?

I'm not sure what makes me madder, the use of "pierogies" or describing them as "Polish dumplings".

There's a Russian church down the road that sells fresh pierogies now and then and when they put their sign out it says "Pierogies today!".

That's just called clever marketing to the Polonia ;)

(must admit, the idea of the Polonia buying pierogi from the Russians makes me laugh)

Someone on PF once told me that pierogi is really Ruskie and not Polish. ??

Ahem, think that was me. But I was merely pointing out that Russians also regard pierogi as a Russian dish ;)

Jeez, no idea. Even the Japanese have stolen it these days, so - probably best to call it a Slavic dish more than anything else.

Do they eat it in Lithuania, I wonder?

I know a Lithuanian girl at work who makes it with pickled herring *Barf*

i wonder what a cold/warm pierogi with stilton filling would taste like.

Oh dear, now haven't you made fool of yourself, have you?

You owe me pierogi for dinner! :P

No I want mine first !!! :D

High maintenance Polina! :p
