I just made Christmas Pierogi with wild mashrooms

[@AlanDonDelon]

I have some in my refrigerator right now, Kraut and mushrooms. The translation isn’t that great. You should get someone better qualified. There are many wrong translations.

[@BlackWolf6420]

Russian with cottage cheese, potatoes and onions. Some sour cream on the side. Delicious! 🤤

[@Pastashock]

My grandmas. Can’t be beat.

[@wandawolfe8665]

I am of Polish descent, and I love Polish cuisine! However, I can’t say that Polish food is the best in the world. It’s obviously is the best for me. However, every culture has fabulous food, and I feel so fortunate to be able to enjoy food from almost every country in the world. I value and appreciate the cuisines of the world. I never cease to be amazed by the wonderful food various countries produce. This lady does a grand job of making pierogi. Dare I say, no one makes pierogi like the Poles!

[@katarzynamariamuszynska2811]

I am Pole living in UK and for me pierogi reminds me my childhood ,when My late Mum was doing pierogi and later when i grow up i helped Her There is many varieties of filling Sweet ,spicy,savoury

[@MradventurEPL]

Wow, this was the first time I heave seen corectly translated RUTHENIAN pierogi

[@cuurniprime]

Piękne przedstawienie pierogów z kapustą i grzybami. Cieszę się że ktoś edukuje ludzi i jednocześnie rozsławia naszą kulturę, zwłaszcza kulinarną. Pozdrawiam :D

[@JeremiCzarnecki]

Sadly, it seems that subtitles did not convey all that Maria was saying quite precisely. Most importantly, she mentioned that the dough is done kneading when it does not stick to your fingers anymore (otherwise, making the frills would be next to impossible). Also, the pierogi she is making are quite elaborate, the shared pierogi tradition of what is modern-day Poland, Ukraine and Belarus was mostly about quite simple fillings, like the "Ruthenian pierogi", with curd cheese and potato filling, inexpensive and available all year round. Sauerkraut and mushroom pierogi are considered a Christmas specialty, as not only you need some time for the cabbage to ferment, but also because in Poland, the big Christmas meal is the Christmas Eve dinner, still during lent, and thus meat-free (but with ample fish). BTW, the singular form of "pierogi" is "pieróg", try "Pierre-oog" if you will. You cannot have "one pierogi", unless you mean one serving of several pieces, much like you cannot have "one tortellini", but rather "tortellino".

[@someguyik]

I don't speak Polish other than a few words, but at 1:56, I swear she says kielbasa..but the subtitle says white sausage. I grew up in an area with a pretty big Polish population....I've never heard kielbasas called white sausage.

[@RomaInvicta202]

@@someguyik We have white sausage in Poland, too (biala kielbasa), she did say "z biala kilbasa i majerankiem: with white sausage and marjoram There are probably hundreds of types of kielbasa in Poland, the white one is not as famous outside of Poland, but we all know it I'd also say it's seasonal as I mostly have it during winter, but maybe it's just where I live?

I love pierogi! Potato and onion are my favorite, but I'd like to try other kinds.

[@vabanknine8417]

not mine.!! I hate those. 😉 I love with white cheese or fruits.! I make often for my family meat with sauerkraut, or mushrooms and sauerkraut. They love it.

[@el_czupakabra]

dumplings with cabbage and mushrooms. THE BEST

[@beth8775]

Those all sound absolutely delicious! I love that basically every culture has some kind of dumpling - people are people everywhere.

[@mejsjalv]

It was always a pleasure whenever an international fair came to town in Sweden. There was always a Polish Pierogi stand... so, so, so good. I love most Asian dumplings, like dim sum, but the Polish ones are right up there.

[@nawgra8455]

I make them every week for my family. Easy, cheap and delucious for 3 hungry mouths in my home 😉.

[@ryllaraevans822]

This is very interesting. My grandmother is Polish and has mentioned this food but never made it. After she moved to Australia from Poland in WW2 she left Polish culture behind her.

[@davidniemira]

You should try them. If you don't have the chance to buy them, do it once at home. The ingredients are not hard to get. The only ingredient that possibly will be hard to get is the cheese "twaróg" for the pierogi ruskie, but you can replace it with a similar one and the outcome will be similar. Cheers from Spain and happy New Year 😉

[@yakeosicki8965]

The lady first chef is talking nonsense! The dough for our dumplings is just flour, water and salt! Under communism, people got confused. They started using additives such as eggs, butter, oil, cream, etc. The egg hardens the dough! It is traditionally used in Italian ravioli or Russian pelmeni, which take longer to cook. Thanks to such morons, Magda Gessler(outstanding Polish restaurateur, guardian of Polish culinary tradition) will run her TV show until her death.

[@Matys1975]

That’s sad. I moved to the US when I was 7 and now I am 38, my kids and I speak Polish at home and eat pierogies occasionally.

[@katarzynamariamuszynska2811]

[@bip5395]

It is so funny linguistically for polish person to see “one pierogi”. „Pierogi” is plural form. Singular is „pieróg”.

[@jps0117]

@5:09 Mushrooms had a "devilish" reputation in Western Europe? I was not aware of this.

[@bartoszwojciechowski2270]

Yeah, there were many superstitious beliefs about mushrooms being a sort of vessels for Satan to communicate through (which is a very weird association but probably has its origins in the fact that some mushrooms have slightly narcotic and toxic properties). It's a shame because mushrooms are very healthy and should be eaten all year round. That is also the reason why some mushrooms have "Satanic" names, e.g. the Satan's bolete.

[@jps0117]

very easy to make, all you have to do is be relaxed, and don't try too hard. look at her hands, they're very relaxed, and barely apply any pressure. you can make whatever filling you please.. personally i prefer potato with fried onions and bacon grease.

[@nawgra8455]

And water has to be hot and dont forget adding 2 tbs of oil or butter.

[@JoseArcadio12]

Bonus fact: the Pierogarnia's chef has Ukrainian origin (based on accent, surname and google search) and yes, her Polish is almost perfect. Galicia (eastern Poland and western Ukraine) is especially known for best piergi, so it's not a coincidence.

You shouldn't put ANY eggs to the dough!!!Also the dough should be much thinner then Maria made it. This pierogi are not like home made 😕

Вареники українська страва,а не польська!

[@auslanderde6115]

Well, the nice lady have no polish accent at all, more east one, so no wonder, she dont know real Pierogi. No one in a Polish (other in Ukraine in Russland) home will add eggs to pierogi dough, because everyone in Poland knows that real pierogi dough has nothing to do with pasta. Besides, rather Warsaw restaurants, and not only Warsaw restaurants, have nothing to do with traditional, original Polish cuisine, they are rather geared towards tourists in my opinion. In the recipe shown here, I immediately see more than one error: the flour is not 450, but 405. No eggs are added! And it's no secret, they harden the dough, thicken it, so less stuffing goes inside and you pay in the restaurant for the dough and not for the stuffing. another mistake, in stuffing with mushrooms, as in any other, there should be no mush or puree, it is completely forbidden and not Polish. I am disappointed that so many programs are made about this specific and very delicious dish, in which untruths are shown, also by Poles, because people from outside Poland are not surprised that they have no idea and end up trying a poor copy of the original.

[@5fr4ewq]

xenophobia eated away ur brain

[@xYAAx]

OMG never add an egg to the pierogi dough! Blasphemy! Stuffing looks good anyway, but the egg... come on... And the mushroom called maślak should be peeled and not cut with the dull knife.

"The chef" in this video barly speaks polish, she's probably form Ukrain or Belarus. And that's where pierogi are from: eastern polish border. In my part of Poland pierogi where almost unknown until after WWII, when people from eastern Poland where relocated here, and are not our traditional dish.

[@kerryfolden]

[@bip5395]

Actually noone called pierogi „ruthenian” (commonly - incorrectly, but indeed commonly, as my natives force here in comments - understood as „Russian” in polish) for past 10months. Now there is a description of filling or „Ukrainian” used as a name. 🇺🇦 Edited as some here live in some bubbles of quite rare awareness where the name actually came from.

[@DWFood]

That's cool!
