Pierogi (singular pieróg) are served in a variety of
forms and tastes (ranging from sweet to salty to spicy) in Polish
cuisine. Pierogi were traditionally peasants' food, but eventually
spread in popularity throughout all social classes, including nobles.
They are served at many festivals, playing an important role as a
cultural Polish dish. At the 2007 Pierogi Festival in Krakow, 30,000
pierogi were consumed daily. Polish pierogi are often filled with quark,
potatoes and fried onion; in such a form, they are called Ruskie
Pierogi. Poles traditionally serve two types of pierogi for Christmas
Eve supper. One kind is filled with sauerkraut and dried mushrooms,
another - small uszka, only with dried wild mushrooms is eaten with
barszcz. Leniwe pierogi[5] ("lazy pierogi") are a different type of food,
more similar to kopytka.
