Can I get some feedback on this pierogie?

[crim son]

yes, this one is really a bad copycat

[SPKrazy]

1. NO....

:rofl:

[crim son]

2. What?

I think the ones pictured look too much like raviolis but maybe that's just me :)

[SPKrazy]

4. I Thought They Looked Like Steamed Dumplings

where's the dipping sauce?

[u4ic]

3. That top one doesn't look bad

but the rest are pretty sickly. :scared:

[SPKrazy]

5. How Can You Tell?

they all look the same to me

?

;-)

[u4ic]

7. .

:spank:


just because I can...

[SPKrazy]

9. ....

oh don't stop that, I LIKE IT!

:evilgrin:

[u4ic]

10. Then

I will...:P

[SPKrazy]

16. Oh, I Meant: Please Stop That

now you won't?

or is it

please don't stop

please mistress, what can I do to serve you?

:evilgrin:

[u4ic]

23. Aha...

finally remembering your lessons, are you?

[SPKrazy]

30. Yes Ma'am

I am here to serve you!

:scared: :rofl:

[u4ic]

71. Then where are

the pierogies? :spank:

[crim son]

6. Exactly!

Plus, they should be covered in butter and sauteed onions IMHO.

[u4ic]

8. They're not home made

and I agree about being slathered in something! And pan fried beforehand, too...:D

[crim son]

13. Now you've done it.

I'm starving again, but only for pierogies.

[u4ic]

15. That's only because

you've never tried pyrizhky. :9

[crim son]

17. No, but I've tried

piroshki. Similar? I need to know.

[u4ic]

21. It might be

the same thing, considering there are upteen ways to spell the same word (I spell pierogies, pierohi, and it's sounded differently - like perro-heh).

Somewhat similar to pierohi (filling is marginally different - potatoes, green onions, cream cheese; the pastry is different); they're smaller, and baked in a creamy buttery dill sauce.:9

[crim son]

25. The ones I'm thinking about have a pastry-like crust

and are filled with ground meat. A bit different. There are probably endless variations on the same theme, all of them worth eating :7

[ironflange]

32. You would know!!

Hi, how's she goin'?

I love those baked ones, my mom does great piroshki. I've done perohy myself, but I'm not very good at it. I know a baba who makes ones that are absolutely to die for. Have you ever had pelmeny? Kind of like tortellini.

Here's my little girl and me, last summer, in Glendon:



The grocery store there sells really good ones.

Why don't we just get snobby and call them Varenyky? Leave all these poor Anglos in the dust? :)

[u4ic]

34. Did you eat the WHOLE thing?

:P

What's up for bites this summer - the Mundare Kubassa? :D

I hope you and your family had a wonderful holiday season!

I was down your way - well, past - for Christmas. Did a bit of a wave to you while whipping through Calgary. I went to Fernie for 5 days, and then, coming back, stayed over in Cochrane for an evening. Jinkies, has that town grown! :o

We will resort to calling them varenyky, then. :thumbsup: We have to stand together on these things, ya know!!

I've never had pelmeny....sounds good, though!

[ironflange]

58. No, we split it, but we couldn't find enough sour cream

A merry Ukrainian Xmas to you, too!

I see a lot of Cochrane, our family doctor is out there. We started with her in Calgary when she was first setting up a practice, and when she moved out there a few years later we stuck with her. It's a nice excuse for a ride in the country.

My mom brought a relative over from Ukraine about 16 yeas ago, and she brought the pelmeny recipe with her. Like I said, they look like tortellini, and are filled with a nicely spiced meat mixture. Toss 'em with the usual butter and onions. I found recipes on the interwebs, most of them look to be shaped more like ravioli.

While we're at it, how about cabbage rolls? As usual, Mom is an expert with those, the thumb-sized ones with rice inside. :9 The big ones full of hamburger? Ugh!!

[u4ic]

70. And a Merry Ukrainian Christmas to you, too!

:toast:

I love holubchi. :9 I, too like the rice filled...don't like the meat ones at all. Please, no sour cabbage rolls, either. :puke:

[idgiehkt]

11. yum

that makes me hungry. I'd love one. :loveya:

[crim son]

12. Me too.

I'm going to have to make a batch. Maybe tomorrow. You are invited for dinner. :loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. I am deprived, my dear crim son.........

I've never had any ........ :cry:

:P

[SPKrazy]

18. Me Either

I don't even know what they are

look like chinese steamed dumplings to me

they do look kind of good

but I've never had one

I'm depraved, I mean deprived too.

:loveya: :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. My dear Southpawkicker!

I think you just typed a Freudian slip, baby!

Depraved is it!

Ah, you know I love ya!

:loveya: :hug:

[SPKrazy]

20. Freud Did Wear Slips I Think!

under his skirt

I love ya too Peggy!

:hug: :loveya:

[crim son]

22. In my world they are made something like ravioli

with a dough made of sour cream and flour. Inside is a potato/cheese mixture. They are boiled and then fried if you like. My mother grew up in a Canadian town filled with Ukranians and she learned to love them there. She made them for the family and now I make them for mine.

They're pretty good but not a low-calorie food!

[ironflange]

33. Ding ding ding!

That's it, exactly! Except most people I know make them with just a very plain pasta dough, flour, eggs, water, salt. The sour cream is for putting on them later, along with the fried bacon & onions. We like them boiled, but I make sure there's enough to fry up for lunch the next day. You'd think that potatoes in pasta would be kind of ucky, but, boy, they're good!!

Aw, crap, now I have to either phone Cecile or get energetic, I want a big bunch! Maybe this Saturday. . .

[BarenakedLady]

24. Great, now I'm hungry

And now the kitchen is all the way upstairs and I'm too lazy to get out of bed...

I blame you for the grumbly in my tumbly crim son! x(

[crim son]

26. You're posting from bed?

I really need wireless. I'm hungry too but in the interest of keeping svelte and delightful I shall not eat.

Sorry you're hungry :hug:

[BarenakedLady]

27. Yuppers...In bed

Got my wireless laptop down here in the dungeon. All is good. I have some seltzer I could drink, but then I'll have to wee and walk all the way upstairs to the powder room...shoulda put a friggin toilet down here when we finished it...grrrrr

[crim son]

28. You could be in our basement.

It has a bathroom but we've never used it... it's filled with spiders and who knows what else :scared:

I guess I'm going to go to bed. I WISH I didn't always stay up this late. Goodnight, lovely. -L

[BarenakedLady]

29. Awwww

Nighters! :hug:

I just don't feel like going to sleep, because then it's tomorrow and I have to start all over again.

[SPKrazy]

31. Such A Lovely Invitation

spiders and who knows what else

night night

:hug:

[Writer]

Amazing what people will celebrate, isn't it?

[Phillycat]

60. Pierogies are good pan-friend and slathered in sour cream and salsa

Wow, I am hungry now.

[crim son]

62. What besides ice cream isn't good pan fried

and slathered with sour cream and salsa?

I have the sour cream and salsa and I'm off to fry something.

[Guava Jelly]

63. Can you cook me some pierogie?

:7

[crim son]

64. I can though I haven't got a proper pierogie maker..

I use a ravioli cutter and trim them :)

What shall I serve alongside?

[Guava Jelly]

65. Anything I am more interested in dessert

:evilgrin:

[crim son]

Anything w/whipped cream, right?

[Guava Jelly]

68. great minds think alike

[Goblinmonger]

66. You're after the Polish side

You know that :)
