National Pierogi Day

Each year, we set aside October 8 to celebrate everyone’s favorite flavorful Polish dumplings (or Ukrainian ‘varenyky’). Pierogis were traditionally considered a peasant food, but they eventually gained popularity and spread throughout all social classes—including nobles in Europe.We can see why—they’re made of unleavened dough, boiled, and then baked and fried with butter. Then, they’re stuffed with the most delicious of fillings: potato and cheese, potato and onion, cabbage, mushrooms and spinach… the list goes on! And if that isn’t decadent enough, Pierogi are often served with melted butter, sour cream, fried bacon crumbles, sautéed mushrooms and onions and/or green onion. If you’re pining for pierogi, come on and celebrate with us!

National Pierogi Day Activities

Visit your local Polish restaurant

Make your own pierogi

Throw a Polish-themed potluck

Every neighborhood Polish restaurant has pierogi on its menu, and we guarantee they’ll have a few different varieties. Maybe it’s time to branch out and try a dessert pierogi!

Pick your favorite recipe online and go for it! Stuff them with whatever you like — cheese, sausage, potato, or all three. There’s no right way to pierogi—and no wrong way either.

Challenge your guests to make their best pierogi. It’s a great way to get more familiar with Polish cuisine, and the best part is you get to taste them all! Go crazy—you have our permission.

Why We Love National Pierogi Day

They’re stuffed

You can have them as a dessert too

They're comfort food

You can put anything you want in these Eastern European dumplings—from spinach to ground beef. And that means textures and flavors are combined in every bite to create a delicious combination.

Can you name any other food that’s an appetizer, side dish, and dessert? No, you can’t, and that’s why we love pierogies. The dessert variety (they’re filled with fruit) can be enjoyed topped with applesauce, maple syrup, chocolate sauce and/or whipped cream.

After a long, hard day, nothing makes us feel better than a savory, rich meal. While pierogies are small, they’re the best comfort food because they’re fried and stuffed with whatever your heart desires. All hail the pierogi!

Tradyshun is alive (Polish stuff)

A friend living in Denmark wished me a Happy Easter and asked if I have some company for the Easter days. We are both non believers (he's Jewish and I a damn atheist) but you should not drink vodka alone, it's considered unhealthy, and he probably doesn't believe that I hardly ever drink anymore - he met me when I was 18. Yes, I had company. Went to see a Polish couple; I don't know them very well, but I buy pierogi and cabbage rolls from them at the market. She's a very good cook. Today I was supposed to pick up some herrings (?); there are no Baltic herrings (or any herrings) in any shape or form in Ecuador, so it's a treat, brought by yet another Polish couple from the Coast. These are apparently "herring-like" and inferior, I couldn't detect any difference. The ability of Poles to produce Polish food anywhere in the world is amazing.

I went, it turned out that there were guests, also Poles (we are everywhere). The table was set for a regiment. I ate, drank very little of an INCREDIBLY strong local moonshine, and left with 6 containers of various foods. When I tried to pay for, at least, the herrings, Mrs. Małgorzata said to me threateningly, "are you trying to insult me?"  - twice. She's built like a brick shithouse, so I desisted. The tradition of stuffing your guests with food and drink to the full capacity and beyond, and sending them home with more food, did not die out in the nation. I left early, so I still can move a bit.

15 APH Poland headcanons

1. In fact, Poland isn’t a big fan of skirts. He prefers crop tops.

2. He prays to God every morning after waking up and every night before going to sleep.

3. Prussia constantly mocks Poland for his feminine looks. Pol cries very easily and starts to hate his own body when something like this happens. It falls for Lithuania to comfort him.

4. He takes lots of care for his appearance, so he always puts perfume on during meetings, showers two times per a day and uses pretty girly products. He sings while showering pretty often too.

5. Poland speaks soooooo many languages. He speaks Polish (Native), Kashubian (Expert) Silesian (Expert), English (Expert), German (Expert), Russian (Expert), Latin (Expert), Lithuanian (Expert), French (Intermediate), Hungarian (Random words) and Greek (Random words).

6. His favourite food, beside Paluzski, are Pierogi, Żurek and chocolate.

7. His tummy is very, very slightly pudgy and is a home to all those delicious Paluszkis. It’s also really soft, making it the perfect pillow.

8. Poland loves plushies. He sleeps with tons of them.

9. He is extremely ticklish and loves to be tickled. Pol is ticklish everywhere, but his navel is like 11/10, wow, so sensitive.

10. When it comes to tickling, the people who tickle him the most is Liet.

11. Pol has a small phoenix tattoo on his shoulder blade. The only ones who know that are his closest friends. He also wants a navel piercing, but he is afraid cuz he is so sensitive there.

12. From all nations (in Hetalia), Poland is most active and famous on TikTok.

13. Poland is very good at belly dancing. He learned it from Turkey.

14. Poland is like a big brother figure to both Latvia and Liechtenstein.

15. The reason why he likes pink so much, is because his flag is white and red, and when you mix white and red - you get pink.

The fact that October 8 is both International Lesbian Day and National Pierogi Day is very important to me. Two of the best things in the world celebrated at once. Peace on earth

August: Day 19

Adventures

All adventures courtesy of a Renaissance fair

Wandered through many little shops

Bought a folding fan

Fulfilled a lifelong dream of getting a pocket watch

Fulfilled another lifelong dream of getting sealing wax

Enjoyed mead, hard cider, and the world's most absurdly overpriced pierogi

Learned about Viking fiber crafts and weapons, and enjoyed a Norse mythology storytelling session

Learned that a friend is surprisingly good at knife throwing

Writing

Named the main characters and nations in my Goose Girl retelling short story

Wrote about five hundred words of the beginning of the story (after finally figuring out that I'd been trying to start the story too early and just needed to cut to the action)

[floralcrematorium]

📺 - Which episode from the show is your favorite? Do you prefer the earlier style or the later one?

🏠 - Quick! You now live in a mansion in the middle of nowhere and you've got your choice of three nations to live with. Who do you choose as your new housemates and why?

🐶 - Thoughts on the Holy Rome/Germany controversy? Is he him, is he not, is it something in between?

I've already answered the first two but I'll give different answers this time >:)

📺 - Which episode from the show is your favorite? Do you prefer the earlier style or the later one?

I don't like the old style and don't like the cutesyness of World Stars. Beautiful World was the peak of the art style for me and World Twinkle was still pretty good. Not a fan of how the hair is shaded like a weird top to bottom gradient, but I can't complain

I really like the Nyotalia episode! I think it's cool that we got to see alternate designs actually used in canon. The script of the episode isn't my kinda thing, but it was literally mind breaking to me when the Nyotalia episode came out

🏠 - Quick! You now live in a mansion in the middle of nowhere and you've got your choice of three nations to live with. Who do you choose as your new housemates and why?

Alfred; We are getting ALL of the food I like from my home region. We are going on a Mid-Atlantic cuisine SPLURGE. Also need to find out how he says the names of different foods. I've never heard anyone call "Reese's Pieces" the candy something different from the way I pronounce it before I moved to New England where suddenly it was Ree-sees Pee-sees. This is the ONE topic I will pick a fight about. Anyway, he's got the money, we're installing a real ass pizza oven in the mansion so we can make NY style pizza

Philippines; You have no idea how badly I wish my grandmother had more recipes to pass down than pancit (a Filipino noodle dish which varies wildly depending on region. my family's version uses bean thread noodles, pork, and... not many vegetables because i have an aversion to cabbage and can only eat most vegetables roasted) and chả giò (vietnamese egg rolls. we put ground pork, bean sprouts, dried wood ear mushrooms, and i think? carrots in ours, as well as the same bean noodles we use for pancit). I LOVE when recipes are passed down through families and wish we had more. I've looked online for Adobo recipes and we've made bibingka before, but I always feel like a fraud exploring my own heritage (if I'm even allowed to say that because I only have one Filipino grandparent. help. i struggle with this DAILY)

India; I've had a couple of Desi friends growing up and their lunches always smelt so good. Very savory and much more colorful than what I had (all beige.). I'd like to learn more about Indian cuisine beyond the few takeout dishes I've had and learned to make at home. My friend living in Kerala was going to get his grandmother's biriyani recipe for me but he keeps forgetting since he's so busy. We actually just talked the other day about Indian dishes and gulab jamun came up, which is something I had once at an event when I was a kid. The conversation started because we were talking about the differences between Indian and American donuts. Also! A game that came out recently called Venba is about an Indian couple who immigrated to Canada in the 1980s and you unlock a new recipe in each stage of the game. I'm not going to spoil much about the game's narrative, but I. Love. Generationally. Inherited. Recipes.

If you couldn't tell based on this response and my last response to this question, food is the way to my heart. I like to learn about other culture's foods (been thinking about making Ukrainian varenyky since it has a large role in the CanUkr one shot I'm working on, but when i made pierogis a couple years back from scratch it didn't go well. i'm not good at dough). We eat a variety of things in my household and I am the de facto chef of my friends. I do have a tendency to go a bit heavy with spice, though. We should take the bottle of cayenne powder and crushed red pepper away from me

🐶 - Thoughts on the Holy Rome/Germany controversy? Is he him, is he not, is it something in between?

I will be honest. I don't care. I've never cared. I've just never been interested in HRE as a character. Maybe he's something inbetween? With how I answered the question about Prussia yesterday, it would make sense for him to be

National Pierogi Day

National Pierogi Day is an annual feast celebrated on October 8th of every year. The foodie lovers precisely the dumpling fans can celebrate this food holiday. Taste the delicious semi-circular dumplings made of unleavened dough on National Pierogi Day to complete the celebration.

“It’s a good thing that dumplings are small because Lee Anne’s goodies will make your willpower vanish as you reach for ‘just one more.” – Roger Mooking

History of National Pierogi Day

The first National Pierogi Day was celebrated on 2009. The plural form of the rarely used Polish word pierog is Pierogi. Pierogi can be spelt in several ways like perogi or pierogy and is known as varenyky. Pierogi are filled dumplings made up of unleavened dough around a savoury or sweet filling. It is semicircular in shape, traditionally stuffed with a mashed potato filling, potato and onion, potato, and cheese, cabbage, cheese, sauerkraut, mushroom, ground meat, spinach or fruit. The dough will be first boiled, sometimes baked or fried in the butter. It has the Central and Eastern European origin. These dumplings are popular in Slavic, Baltic, and other Eastern European cuisines.

Pierogi is the national dish in Poland and Slovakia. The dumplings will be served with toppings. It includes melted butter, sour cream, fried onion, sauteed mushrooms, or combinations of those ingredients. The Eastern European immigrants popularized pierogi in the United States. Pierogi was a family food among the immigrants and found in ethnic restaurants. In the post-World War II era, ethnic churches made freshly cooked pierogi as a staple fundraiser. Americans typically consider pierogi as a side dish and in other countries, it is the main dish.

How to Celebrate National Pierogi Day

Celebrating the National Pierogi Day is very simple. Enter your favorite restaurant and order some Pierogi for yourself. Know more about Pierogi and how to make them. Prepare it in your home for your family with different stuffings.

Traditions my family has held onto from Poland and What we have since lost..

I am a mixture of nationalities, and that has always felt kind of disappointing for me growing up, especially when a holiday or special occasion would come around and my family I felt would be really lacking what I saw many of my friends families having, traditions, and connections to their nationality and home country. I grew up knowing I was at least a mixture of polish, Irish, German do by, French, French Canadian, and native American. I traced back my genealogy and also found some Scottish and English. My father’s father’s side of the family can be traced back to the first colonies in the United States, no joke. But on my father’s mother’s side, we are close to entirely polish. And this made Easter dinner very special to me. Yes it was a very watered down, Americanized version of Polish Easter, but it was something! Of course there is more to the festivities than the food, but I would like to stay on topic, and for this post, keep the discussion to the traditions surrounding food.

Chronologically, the first food-centric Polish Easter traditions occur prior to Easter Sunday. On Saturday, the night before Easter Sunday, Święconka, meaning "the blessing of the Easter baskets is traditionally celebrated. Where many Polish immigrants and the generations that followed proudly continued this tradition, my family did not. This tradition consists of attending Saturday night mass the night before Easter, and taking a basket containing the food that is to be served for Easter to be blessed by the priest.. Typical contents of the basket include butter, Easter bread, horseradish, eggs, sausage ham, salt, cheese, candles, and colorful ribbons. Each food represents a different blessing. Example: eggs for new life, and candles for light in the world.

The tradition of coloring Easter eggs is similar to the practice we know today, but the Polish tradition is far more intricate. Known as “pisanki”, the tradition is conducted by coloring eggs in natural dyes and adding intricately detailed designs are using paint, wax, etching with needles, or even paper or flowers petals. These eggs are traditionally given tto friends and family for Easter, so at times the eggs are made out of Wood for longer lasting gifts. In my family, we opted to practice a modified version of pisanki. Instead of the premade kits sold commercially, we stuck to the methods used by our grandmother’s grandmother using natural dyes including beets, and drawing on the eggs with wax before dipping the eggs into the dye, so the design would be visible after taking them out of the coloring.

The centerpiece of our Easter Sunday feast is the traditional Easter lamb. In Poland these are made from Sugar, but somewhere in time this became a lamb made out of butter by the Polish immigrants in the U.S. This was a staple of Easter Sunday growing up.

Our Easter feast itself was sort of a modified version of the traditional Polish Easter feast. I believe that this is largely because in Poland years ago, this was a feast for the entire day. Serves following Sunday morning mass, this feast lasted through all three meals of the day. Many Polish descendants in the US today, including mine, serve one meal, Easter dinner.

Traditional Polish Easter food includes ham, classic kiełbasa, white kiełbasa (made of unsmoked pork meat), pate, horseradish and Zurek (Polish soup made of fermented rye flour, coming with hard boiled eggs and sausage), Śledź ( herring), and eggs with salmon roe or caviar. Desserts were plentiful, and features the likes of Mazurek cake, babka, and cheesecake. To name a few. On our table every Easter I could look forward to the ham, rye bread, eggs sauerkraut, and kielbasa as was tradition, as well as other Polish classics like pierogi and golmbki. The dessert was a new tradition added by my great uncle Paul. This was also my favorite part of the meal. He taught the kids and had us assist in the dessert making. Every year we made honey baklava. I hope this tradition is carried as far as the traditions carries from Poland to our table every Easter!
