Pierogi

The Pierogi is a traditional Polish dinner dish consisting of crispy dumplings filled with a savory filling of potato, cheese, and other garnishes. The traditional recipe calls for simple ingredients and no fuss. Though actual preparation time and the cooking processes can be length, the pierogi itself is unassuming. In recent years, however, many people (Polish and non-Polish) have attempted to reconfigure the typical recipe to make it more exciting and even more delicious. Due to the minimalism of the ingredients (if not of the cooking process itself) the Pierogi has become an excellent dish for experimenting with flavor, taste, texture, and style based upon personal preference. Thus, a new era of Pierogi diversity was born. Subsequently, I was surprised by the amount of work (and science) that goes into making a proper (or an original) pierogi. In addition, I had not expected that the pierogi had so much in common with dumplings, pastries, and other similar dishes that are beloved all around the globe.…

little surprise that my family’s foodways derive heavily from our Polish heritage. Pierogi are one of the most well known Polish foods, so much so that they have become internationally commercialized by brands such as Mrs.T’s and Kasia. The name pierogi is plural but the singular “pieróg” is not used along with the term “pierogies” which many modern non-polish people misuse as the plural of pierogi. Pierogi are a Central European but mainly Polish dish that can be eaten as an appetizer, main…

and holds a deep meaning in my heart are pierogi. Coming from a strong Polish background, pierogi have been something my family has made for years. Traditionally this dish is prepared on special occasions such as Christmas and Easter, but my family loves to make them more frequently, specifically once a month. On the selected Saturday of every month my family begins to prepare the meal at the crack of dawn. Together with my grandmother’s supervision we begin the preparations for the delicious…

I have chosen the group of Polish Immigrants. The majority of Polish Immigrants were Roman Catholics. Their main dishes were homemade pasta, potato soup, pierogis, and faggots. Different soups and stews were also favorites as they were inexpensive meals. Family was a very important value in the Polish Culture. Dancing was also a very important value to them. They danced at local ethnic clubs and churches where Polkas were very popular. In their country the government took most of their money…

Sources state that on the paternal half of her family, Francine has two aunts and one uncle, as well as a grandmother who loves to bake and knit. Her grandmother, Nancy,…

ethnically exposed to Poland. Through the richness gained from knowing my own culture, I can identify people who share similar Polish upbringings and cultural backgrounds as me. The treatment of individuals and myself in my academic environment of Springfield College has been more than excellent. I have never felt the effect of prejudice or heard an offensive joke about my culture, as I have in past experiences. Instead, I have been awed when sharing that I can speak Polish fluently. Many…
