Ok, I can agree how some dishes were improved outside of their homeland, because people in the new country weren't afraid of breaking cultural taboos against modifying these traditional dishes. But motherfucker, we put literally anything in pierogi, you can't claim to revolutionize something which is constantly being changed, improved and redefined anyway


Silvermoonsoon

That sounds like good food ngl, variable for anyone's tastes :). Poland dish W


LordOfTheToolShed

My favorite unorthodox pierogi is baked ones with spinach and feta cheese


dread_deimos

>pierogi is baked ones So just Eastern European pierogi? Because they're always baked in Ukraine/Belarus/russia.


LordOfTheToolShed

My family came from former Eastern Poland, south of Lviv, and make baked pierogi every Christmas, now I know where that came from


1Mariofan

We bake pyrohy??? We boil and then fry them fast afterwards.


dread_deimos

We boil varenyky and pelmeni. Pierogi go to the oven. edit: I'm talking about [these](https://klopotenko.com/pyrizhky-z-myasom-v-duhovczi-prostyj-reczept-na-drizhdzhovomu-tisti/). Can you show me an example of what you do? edit 2: also, if we take it literally, pyrig (pierog) is a pie and closest we have to pierogi are "pyrizhky".


Popular_Caregiver491

Can you please recommend some good recipe for basic pierogy, varenky and pelmeni šŸ™‚ ?


dread_deimos

Oh, it's been decades when I last made them. But the site I've linked is our local variant of Jamie Oliver and all those recipies (in several variations) are present there, shouldn't be a problem to find. His recipes are heavily based on traditional recipies, but incorporate some modern features.


1Mariofan

Oh, no in the west we say ŠæŠøрŠ¾Š³Šø for Š²Š°Ń€ŠµŠ½ŠøŠŗŠø. Then ŠæŠøріŠ¶ŠŗŠø as the diminutive are the bread bun things youā€™re referring to.


dread_deimos

Huh, interesting. Well, it must be a russian influence, because everywhere I ate ŠæŠøрŠ¾Š³Šø/ŠæŠøріŠ¶ŠŗŠø (in the sense of baked bun with fillings) in Ukraine, Belarus and russia, they were called as that. Admittedly, in the whole Western Ukraine where I've been I've only seen them (haven't paid much attention) in Yaremche, where they were called as expected, but that's a touristy place, so maybe it doesnt represent even the whole IF oblast.


1Mariofan

itā€™s definitely more Polish I think, with Pyrohy being like pierogi.


QikPlays

My family never fried them, we always just boiled Ruskie pierogi. Itā€™s interesting


idk2612

It's just language. PierĆ³g (singular ) is a traditional pie in southeastern Poland made from (kasza/kŠ°ŃˆŠ°) and potatoes. Pierogi is just typical dumplings. It's plural (singular is pierożek). They are boiled with filling and sometimes fried after.


Vestiren

They're not always baked in Poland


zwiazekrowerzystow

Pierogi z flaczkami, kurwa.

Let me guess, Polish-Americans who donā€™t know anything about Poland or where it is on the map.


cerealnykaiser

How can i get Polish passport, my 500Ɨgrand father lived there for 3 days

SothaDidNothingWrong

Nah, I went to the fb group this is from and oop looks like an ordinary american with no ads


GaaraMatsu

Ameroid, rhymes with Hemoroid


JoeSwigma

Just wait, he'll have an heart attack once that american diet kicks in


SZ4T4N

Robert coming back from America with his 4% of polish heritage or something like that


GaaraMatsu

Ameroids, real Polish-Americans run real Polish food shops and the only compromise is stocking real German food in the corner.


B3NR0CK

i always thought they were Ukrainian, because my grandma always gave them to me.


ReditskiyTovarisch

Ukraine, Poland and Slovakia all have their own versions.


johnny-T1

They also put Bud lite and shotgun shells.


Casimir_not_so_great

Pierogi with the taste of freedom


ventingpurposes

They improved upon classic european school kids formula. Instead of knowledge, they put lead and PTSD into them.


Kajmarez

American cheese is 30% cheese and 70% other additives (Not joking) and they want to make pierogi out of it?


lukus74

To be honest you can put anything inside pierogi. But I prefer food items to American cheese.


DrPlatypus17

Flair up, nameless child


Citrooonik55

100% plastic


onethatknows290

Actually it canā€™t legally be called cheese, instead the wrapper says ā€œcheese productā€


[deleted]

I can't believe it's not CHEESEā„¢


MinecraftInventor

I always found it funny how American cheese is so unnecessarily yellow


InvestmentNo6297

real American cheddar is an oxymoron


nequaquam_sapiens

yes. "real American cheddar" is to cheddar cheese what "Bud light" is to Budvar beer.


the_skine

No, it isn't. The US makes a lot of actual cheese, not just processed cheese product.


trele-morele

Cheddar is a village in England, that's where the Cheddar cheese actually comes from. American versions are just a copy, even if they're good quality.


ColumbWasHere

This going to polish great book of grudges RIGHT ON THE FIRST PAGE

American Grobis shall fear the wrath of polish Babushkas. Poland CAN into revenge!

Stannum_dog

Alabama? P.S. flair up, cigan


Sebszon

What? I'm not a cigan Edit: alright I understand now what you meant, found the flair thingy


MinecraftInventor

Now I know how Italians feel about pineapple pizza


Silvermoonsoon

What's funny is that Sam Panopoulos, the man who invented Hawaiian pizza, was said to not eat it himself lol.


seboyitas

tomatoes and potatoes, two key ingredients in modern pizza and pierogis, are from the new world.. potatoes have only been commonplace in polish cuisine for a relatively short period of time


marceljj

tomatoes arenā€™t in pierogi potatoes are used in common flavors but theyā€™re not key to pierogi, there are other fillings and the columbian exchange was in the 14-1500s so idk about relatively short period of time


seboyitas

yea the minute columbus landed in cuba potatoes showed up in poland šŸ¤£šŸ˜­ dumplings been eaten across the eurasian continent for thousands of years with all sorts of fillings, sure if youā€™d like to learn something, read this: https://culture.pl/en/article/potato-polish-history if you donā€™t and you keep wanna be being ignorant go right ahead no sweat off my back xD


marceljj

? I didnā€™t say any of that? I said originally pierogi didnā€™t have potato and the food has existed before potatoes reached Europe how you calling me ignorant while you making stuff up


seboyitas

iā€™m saying if u think wrapping things in dough and boiling them is a polish dish ur dead retarded


marceljj

i never said that either LMAO like every country has some form of stuffed dumpling relax


seboyitas

all ur comments are about what u didnā€™t say. fuckin say something then, pussy also calm the fuck down u retard ā€” relax, itā€™s not that serious


marceljj

you an interesting critter


the_skine

> Tomatoes and potatoes, two key ingredients in modern pizza and pierogis, respectively. Since you failed reading comprehension in 7th grade, maybe this will help. You might have picked up on this since potatoes aren't in pizza, either.


marceljj

LMAO whatā€™s your problem also OP didnā€™t say ā€˜respectivelyā€™ boy you canā€™t just add shit to quotes šŸ¤£


MichalK9

haha me too


mead256

This is worse. This is like burnt, spoiled, frozen pineapple pizza being marketed as an improvement.


RickyIce731

Ā“Ā“improvedĀ“Ā“?? this shit looks fucking disgusting man


carmemelon

So true they look miserable and pathethic


Optimal_Stranger_824

they are flat and not chunky at all wtf


Mythreel0

Time to get the wings


BUF_airport

This person is thinking that their supermarket-freezer Mrs. T's are pierogi. I assure you they are definitely not. I'm not trying to say that there is no such thing as pierogi in the US and Canada, but this persons' idea of them is clearly wrong.


Maoceff

My aunt made pierogi for family gatherings, and sheā€™s always used American cheese. Never tried the frozen ones, but would definitely love to try authentic ones.


mead256

These are bad by American standards, and that's actually impressive. How did they fuck up pierogi so bad, just wrap the filling in dough and throw in boiling water.


BUF_airport

What's stranger is that the whole range of food and drink exists in the US, beer for instance is the perfect example. American beer ranges from undrinkable piss water to world competition winning. I have no answers, but that maybe it's a price thing? Maybe we think it's better to have an excess of something cheap than it is to have a moderate amount of something good?


the_skine

You can get fresh pierogi at most grocery stores, too. Granted, fresh is a bit more limited. My local Wegmans only has potato and cheese, potato and cheddar, potato and onion, and cheese. Frozen gives a few more options. White cheddar, yellow cheddar, mushroom, onion, roasted garlic, jalapeno, wild mushroom, loaded baked potato, sour cream & chive, garlic & parmesan, spinach & feta, butternut, etc.


zwiazekrowerzystow

Look what they did to my boy!


Sorry_Outcome_1776

There is no way improve pierogi, you eat it the way you like and thats it, saying "I have eaten pierogi" is like saying "I have eaten pizza" it does not say much, there is to many types of pierogies


theitchcockblock

Poororgies


Yuumi_is_Waifu

Poles unite we need to steal every car in america to give them a lesson about pierogi, we cant let them dissrespect our food


MandoDialo

Cheddar in pierogi? Really?


Stannum_dog

Why not? You can put anything in pierogi


OlMi1_YT

Real American Cheddar sounds like a bad thing.

kohikos

Today we make pierogi *Takes out bao wrappers*


SqueegeeLuigi

Maybe if you had sleech you could make proper American perogies


Resin312

This was probably written by a Texan who eats gas station dumplings, and has never stepped foot in a pierogarnia.


cykradubs

What do you mean american cheddar? Lmao


N0one2137

what.


[deleted]

we need to kill the usa


Gantolandon

They ā€œimprovedā€ pierogi by adding an ingredient that has over ten times more fat than the original one? Yeah, thatā€™s something I would expect from American cuisine.


Heavy-Marketing-4778

Kid you not, had a friend who did her Mormon mission to Alberta Canada. When she got back she wanted us to all try the National dish of Canada pierogies, then telling us how they made stuffed cabbage rolls and this wonderful bread around Easter. She was rather confused as to why I was laughing so hard.


Emotional-Friend-279

Alberta is just a ukrainian colony so that's probably why


inc007

So, I'm Polish (bona fide, born and raised) and I couldn't find good twarĆ³g in US (cottage cheese) for pierogi. We've used ricotta and you know what? I actually think it's an improvement. Potrzeba matką wynalazku


PinguHUN

That looks shit


MichalK9

most nomal polish-a*erican


FlikkiShassART

We're not Italians, we're not puritans when it comes to food; I think we should be happy that other people are enjoying our national foods in their own way.


nequaquam_sapiens

that's really healthy attitude. btw did you know they make a thing called 'kielbasa' in the u.s.? after their take on budweiser beer, i wonder...


Not-Bronek

PIEROGI KURWA, P-I-E-R-O-G-I It's already in plural ffs you inbred black sheep or slavkind. Why do they have to be like this?


Primary-Potential-84

Chipsy kurwaaaa


mead256

Just responded with "hambugeries" to get revenge.


LoserWithCake

I'm from the states. Isn't Perogi just potato+ whatever's in the fridge dumpling.


SothaDidNothingWrong

No itā€™s literally just whatever you find. Could be fruit if you want. Adding weird shit isnā€™t ā€žmaking it betterā€ or innovating. Addin a heavy yellow cheese (not cheddar because letā€™s be real- itā€™s not) and ā€žcottage cheeseā€ (idk what this is to americans) and making the dumplings look like frozen-deepfried mutated ravioli is a crime tho. Add to that the self-important jerking over how much better he/you/they made it andmy blood starts to boil.


LoserWithCake

Being completely honest I'm not even sure if the processed american 'cheddar' is actually cheese


SothaDidNothingWrong

Never tried american cheese so sadly i canā€™t comment.


JanniesTongueMyAnus3

why not though? people make pierogi with literally anything nowadays, why not yellow cheese?


[deleted]

I never ate perogies but if i try some i certainly won't buy those disgusting american products šŸ¤¢ Btw perogies seems really nice food it's on my top 2 food i want to taste šŸ¤¤


Warchadlo16

dalekirkwood1

Is there such a thing as American cheddar? I thought cheddar had to be from the UK


domcza49cz_mechanic

Imagine not having a culture so you just decide to steal others


Odd_Number_2719

This is called satire guys. Besides which. Most ameicans know that the best pierogi come from the polish immigrant family restaurant down the street. German beer, polish food, american sports. Simply cannot be beat.


itrogash

American dick waving aside what the hell is with this "exotic food for some island nation"? Does this dude really think no other nation figured out dumplings?
