Not pirohies. Pirohy IS plural. Please get it right. Not many similarities between English and Slovak food that I've seen. The Slovak food is flavorful. "-)
Many cultures have similar foods -- most, I think, have a flat bread; several have filled noodle-dough dumpling things; I know there are more, but they're not coming to mind right now,
I've posted my recipes for pirohy dough and fillings more than once here. If you google on that spelling, you're likely to turn up my recipes. They're pretty good. The key is that you make them in the only true and proper shape: triangular.
Where "my people" are (still) located was once ruled by the Hungarians. My family lives in the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains a bit north of Humenne, Slovakia. VERY near the Polish border. The Poles there eat similar foods - spelled different. Cabbage rolls (golabki-holubky), pierogi-pirohy; others, too. Borders are political boundaries. :-) Potatoes taste like potatoes. Cousin Maria has a hand with yeast dough that I can only dream of. And she's cute, besides! Made her first flight on an airplane at age 68 in 2000 to visit her American cousins. Told her husband, who thought she was too old for it, "If I can climb the ladder to get snow off the roof, I can get on a plane to go to America." Go, Maria! --
Ping: Parb Pierogi question 1653Right-o! Right here. That goes without saying, ain't it? The thing to remember about pierogi, pirohy, pelmeni, vareniki, koldunai, etc. is that all of 'em are...
