Pierogi appreciation thread.

[Beware the Beast Man]

Man...day two of the South Beach Diet and already I miss carbs.
How do you like your pierogies? I like mine fried until they are somewhat crispy, with sauteed onions and sour cream. Oh- cheese and potato filling, of course. :9

[MissMillie]

1. smothered in brown gravy

potato & cheese pierogies....... wow. yummy

[Beware the Beast Man]

2. Whoa- that's not the answer I anticipated.

Brown gravy?
You're not from Pittsburgh, are you? :P

[MissMillie]

9. no

Massachusetts

I like them your way too, but I love gravy. Blame it on my French Canadian mother.

[auntAgonist]

13. oh MsMillie tell me you love Poutine too!!!

dang food threads!!!

[MissMillie]

18. HELLO!!!!!

Poutine is AMAZING!

My mother never made them, but my grandmother did.

15. Pierogi Race

[Bunny]

20. The pierogi races are hysterical, aren't they?

:rofl:

[Beware the Beast Man]

27. All is safe as long as Randall Simon isn't around.

:D Oh, wait, that was the Sausage Race in Milwaukee...

[Bunny]

29. Yeah, that was funny, once you realized that she didn't get hurt.

[auntAgonist]

3. don't forget the crispy bacon

with the fried onions. I sometimes sautee green pepper and red pepper with them. Definately sour cream!!

gads now I'm REALLY hungry!


too many carbs ......... :cry:

[Jara sang]

4. I suppose your gonna smother those in corn flakes and saltines too...

Southern Fried Chicken Rules!!!

[Beware the Beast Man]

8. Hell no- that would be sacrilege.

:D

[Texasgal]

5. Yummmmm...

Even this Southerner loves pierogi's!

[many a good man]

6. Prune filling is the best !!!

Sauerkraut second best.

[ewagner]

7. Married into a 100% Polish

family and had never tasted Pierogi before that....

I like mine with either potato and cheese filling or shredded beef.


Really good...

[Demit]

10. Sauerkraut filling is the BEST. Man, I miss homemade pierogis!

[johnnie]

11. Same way as you like them my man...except

I like sauerkraut. I was surprised to hear a lot of the country don't know about these things.
When Clinton came here on his first run he stopped at Parma pirogies. That's where I saw him speak.

[Beware the Beast Man]

31. There's this place in Lorain called Scorcher's

They have these things called Warsaw Wings- deep fried pierogies covered in buffalo wing sauce. They're delicious, but just wrong on so many levels.

[johnnie]

32. Oh man

I have heard of Scorcher's. That sounds so good, but yet a one way ticket to a quick death.
The Parma one isn't around anymore. The woman had that place for years and then Clinton went there. It wasn't long after that that she got in a bunch of legal troubles and shit and had to close down.

[distantearlywarning]

34. Me too!

Hello, fellow east-ender! :hi:

I like my pierogies sauteed with onions so they are a little crispy and a little soft and then served with the onions and sour cream. Mmmm Mmmmm. Love me some real 'burgh pierogies.

[Bunny]

14. You are a man after my own heart.

Fried till crispy, with butter and onions. I like 'em cheese filled, potato filled, sauerkraut filled, and yes, even plum filled! Not too big on sour cream, though.

[Magrittes Pipe]

16. I love savory pierogi. Not so keen on the sweet ones.

[Zuni]

19. I like 'em like that

fried, with cheese and potato filling---gravy and sour cream

:9

[bertha katzenengel]

22. cant' think of those things w/out thinking of "The Bug" in "MIB"

:scared:

[redqueen]

23. I like mine the same way you do...

Thanks... now I know what I'm having for dinner tonight!

[Swede]

24. Perogies with sour cream and fried onions.

That's the Ukrainian way it's done.

[Beware the Beast Man]

25. Absolutely!

:For the record, I'm 1/4 Ukranian and 1/4 Slovak. :)

[Lydia Leftcoast]

26. Latvian style--called piraga and

based on a slightly sweet yeast dough stuffed with bacon and onions and glazed with egg, then baked until golden brown.

Yum.

[Beware the Beast Man]

28. That sounds incredible!

[shugh514]

30. Cheese & potato filling

covered with a sloppy joe sauce(beef & tomato).

[Ikonoklast]

35. Homemade sauerkraut and corned beef pierogis

fried in real butter with onions and gobs of sour cream at Fosters' Tavern in Hinckley, Ohio. Absolutely the best I ever had, and I've eaten plenty of pierogi. Also, they have just about any beer made anywhere. Great place.

[Beware the Beast Man]

36. Ungghh!!

So, how far is Hinckley from Cleveland? :9

[Ikonoklast]

39. About 25 miles south

I-71 to Oh. Rte. 303 exit, turn left, (east) to intersection Rte. 303 and 3, turn left, 100 ft. on the left, can't miss it.

[Magrittes Pipe]

43. Dude! Hinckley is where the buzzards fly every year!

What kind of Ohioan are you, anyway? :eyes:

[Beware the Beast Man]

45. One that's still clinging to his Pittsburgh roots, apparently...

You are in the pierogi thread, after all.

[Magrittes Pipe]

48. I ate pierogi a couple of weeks ago.

Actually, I didn't. I ate bigos. But as we were at a Polish restaurant, I could have eaten pierogi had I wished to.

[Jessica]

37. Cheese & potato ... of course.

Sauteed with butter, onions & jalapenos. The peppers smell amazing while in the pan. Yum-O.

[JohnKleeb]

38. Yeah theyre great

[livetohike]

40. Pirohy, in Slovak

:-) and I like them boiled and smothered in lots of onions sauteed in butter.

I make my own, just like my Grandmothers.

Edit: correct buttermilk to butter :-)

[miss_american_pie]

41. My gran was half Slovak/half Polish

Never could figure out what I was supposed to call the things, but damn they're good.

[livetohike]

46. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

With a Gran like that, you must have been raised on some really good food :-). All of my Grandparents were born in Slovakia - and my Dad was too.

[miss_american_pie]

50. Thanks

:)

[Beware the Beast Man]

42. That's right, and I've seen it spelled "pirohi" as well.

Greetings, fellow former yinzer! :hi:

[livetohike]
