I made pirohy for the first time over the Christmas holidays (which I called pierogis for all joining us and then made them say pirohy properly aloud several times before they got to eat them!) My son-in-law is Polish and loves traditional food. My dough was a bit stiff and not thin enough but no one complained. It was hardest to keep the water boiling hard on my glass cooktop! Mom filled them with both lekvar and sauerkraut and we added a third with leftover potatoes and cheese. We tossed them with browned butter. Ah, good Slovak memories. I ended my meal with a lekvar one, just like when I was little. :) I agree Lubos – and thank you for this web site!

Pierogi is what these things are called in English. There is no denying that there are many more Poles than Slovaks in the US and hence that's why the Polish spelling (plus pierogi are much more common in Poland than in Slovakia, at least based on my personal travel experiences). I am sure that if you look at other cuisines you will find similar examples of dishes that are popular in multiple countries, but for some reason the name in one particular language stuck...

The important thing is to treasure our Slovak heritage and that includes all of its delicious foods! Thank you Lubos for helping share the pride!
