Hercules Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 I had a weird thing for some pierogies tonight, so I got out my recipe and made them. But here is my question, how do you eat yours? For some reason I decided on some brown spicy mustard. Am I going to be arrested by the pierogie police? I mean, I guess the traditional way is to eat them with sour cream and onions. Sometimes I eat them deep fried with tomato sauce or even salsa. I know I'm going to hell for those, but what about mustard?
CoasterExpert13 Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 Lol...well I think mustard is disgusting..So first I boil them in water to soften them up, then I fry them in a sauce pan with butter and oinions. Once done, I top it with good ol' ketchup....umm umm delicious! My sisters cook there the same way but they eat theirs with cheese instead of ketchup
Hercules Posted July 27, 2006 Author Posted July 27, 2006 Wow, ketchup. And I thought I was going to hell for mustard!
CoasterExpert13 Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 Lol....For the longest of time, I thought that that's how everyone ate them, with ketchup lol...but whoa was I wrong. My dad likes his with swiss cheese and sour cream (yuk) and my mom eats hers with just pepper (to plain) lol....so heh....
mightypotato Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 I boil them for a bit, then fry them up. Occasionally, I'll toss in some onions and bacon, but usually I don't have these luxury items at my place. For seasoning, I'll only use seasoning salt...nothing more, nothing less. Now I'm hungry
Carnage Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 Melted cheese and sour cream. But I barely ever eat them because I can't seem to keep sour cream from going all moldy. Kind of hard to get anything perishable when you live by yourself.
CoasterFanatic Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 Boiled, then fried in a pan with butter and onions. Serve with Sour Cream. // the cornerstone of any 'burghers diet
CoasterFanatic Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 ^ They are kind of like a potato and cheese filled ravoli. // Google is your friend
ParkTrips Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 This is where my Pittsburgh connection fails... peirogies == yucky ::puke::
Rollerholden Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 I don't think I've ever eaten a "pierogy", but if I ever do, I'll eat with my hands, while watching tv, and trying to make as big of a mess as possible!
haiderodes Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 I tried one once. I don't think it was cooked properly...meaning it was microwaved. But I can see how if it was pan fried with butter and onions and then served with sour cream it would be good. They are an east coast thing right? I have yet to see them in the store here on the West Coast and the only time I had one was when I was in Florida (my roommates were mostly from the northeast).

I have yet to see them in the store here on the West Coast and the only time I had one was when I was in Florida (my roommates were mostly from the northeast). It's a polish food so you really only find it in area's with a large population of Polish-Americans like Pittsburgh or Detroit(Hamtramck really), my cousins are half Polish and their dad/my uncle used to get these amazing ones from these little old ladies who made them in some church kitchen in the West End.
lapseofreason Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 PIEROGIES!! Something I can't find in freaking California! I LOVE THEM! Oh, and I prefer mine with loads of butter and sour cream. MMMMMMMM....
USRoadTripper Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 I buy frozen pierogies, and have always just bioled them like ravioli and covered them in parmesan cheese. But today I pan fried some with butter, and I didn't like it as much! The outsides got all hard, and it tasted like popcorn! Weird! I thought they were *much* better just boiled. -Julie
CoasterFanatic Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 ^ It is pretty tough to get them just right. The trick is to get them just where they start turning brown. Go a little too long and they get real tough. // no wrong way to eat a pierogie
Hercules Posted July 31, 2006 Author Posted July 31, 2006 Right. If you keep them in there too long they pretty much get deep fried (I dont' really mind that, I just eat them with my hands and dip them in something).
mcjaco Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 I hit them like baseball players do... That was the sausages in Milwaukee, not the perogies. Humorously it was done by a Pittsburgh Pirate (Randall Simon). I eat them by putting them in my mouth and chewing.
