Many Polish-Americans consider pierogi an important part of Polish culture and cuisine today.
Traditionally considered peasant food, pierogi eventually gained popularity and spread throughout all social classes including nobles. Some cookbooks from the 17th century describe how during that era, the pierogi were considered a staple of the Polish diet, and each holiday had its own special kind of pierogi created.
Pierogi may be stuffed (singularly or in combinations) with potatoes, farmer cheese, cabbage, sauerkraut, meat, mushrooms, spinach, cheese or other ingredients depending on the cook/s preferences. Dessert versions of the dumpling can be stuffed with sweetened quark (cheese) or with a fresh fruit filling such as cherry, strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, apple, plum or stoned prunes.
For more flavor, sour cream, fried onions, or applesauce can be used as a topping after pan frying them. (Most taken from Wikipedia)
Please do not try to remove the tube from the container...it is glued in. Only remove the top, after signing the log please put the log back into the top and screw it back in without over tightening {thank you in advance for your carefulness!} The plastic bag is added protection for the container. Don't forget to bring your own pen! Enjoy the container...it's more about the container and it's location...not the difficulty of the find.
Watch for muggles during peak meal times!
