“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.

Plsplspls tips for transpolish people 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 /nf

OMG YAY HERE THEY COME :3 (they'll be biased towards western poland though) (a lot of them will also be broadly slavic / eastern european, so if you're already from that general area apologies)

uhh this is by far not an exhaustive list, just random (kinda specific) stuff that came to mind :p also will be excluding obvious ones like learning the language or whatever!

~~~

something that seems to be common in polish spaces, and I've seen a lot of polish people mention that, is the usage of 'XD'! it's used a lot by polish people, and 'XD' or 'xD' are just, yk, normal laughing emoticon, but 'xd' on the other hand is often used when something isn't actually funny, and it's just a 'meh' response / misc sentence ending / sarcastic 'haha' !!! so sprinkling that in your online usage can be helpful :3

food! there's a lot of cool polish food, the biggest classics i'd personally recommend to try are 'pierogi' (a type of dumplings) and 'ogórki kiszone' (salt pickled gherkins / gherkins in brine / there isn't rly a good english word imo), but there's a lot more options!! :D

in general, if you have access to a polish / eastern european store in your area i highly recommend checking it out! :3

idk where you live so it might already be common for you, but foraging for wild mushrooms is a relatively common activity in poland! it's something that for younger people would often be associated with going foraging with grandparents (be very careful picking wild mushrooms though, if you're not a 100% certain don't risk it!)

fighting over which brand of mayonnaise is the best is kind of a meme! (especially around easter time, when "sałatka jarzynowa", vegetable salad with mayonnaise is traditionally made). the main contestants are 'kielecki' and 'winiary'. again, if you have access to any polish stores i recommend sampling some, but if not you can just say Winiary is best if asked >:3 (shameless Winiary propaganda)

learning the swear words can be fun!! >:D "kurwa" is the most versatile one, 10/10 recommend it's very fun to say when pissed (like how you'd say "fuck!"). you can find better guides on the swears online!

TRADITIONS ARE ALWAYS FUN! it's approaching all hallow's eve, and it's custom to leave candles (usually ones made specifically for that but it's fine if you use normal ones) on the graves of loved ones. i think there's also a specific mass on usually but I'm not catholic + don't live in poland so idk (the catholic faith is popular in poland, but less so the younger the generation yk) (i recommend finding photos of cemetaries on that day though, it looks incredible)

there's also st andrew's day soon, and there's loads of traditions about telling the future for then! for example you can pour melted wax into cold water THROUGH a key hole, and when it hardens use a torch to make its shadow appear on the wall- whatever shape that is represents your future! in terms of romantic ones, you can peel an apple, and throw the apple peel behind you revealing ✨the first letter of your true love's name✨.

also there's a gay polish meme that i love: "miłość do ojczyzny i drugiego mężczyzny" ("love for our nation and for other men"). for a sapphic version you can say "miłość do ojczyzny i drugiej kobiety", but that doesn't rhyme :c

also pspsps it's very common for polish emigrants to not teach their kids polish so don't feel bad if you can't speak it / are bad at it! :]

also while you're here you should watch this video. it's fucking iconic (and showcases beautiful polish apartment blocks) (the title means "egg headshot from the 3rd floor")

Fandom: ITSV

Pairing: Pavitr Prabhakar x Slavic! Spider-person! GN! reader

Pronouns: they/them

Warnings: google-translated language (translations are at the end)

Word Count: 888

A/N: re-Posted from my old account. This was originally a request from someone on my old acc.

A grin erupted on their face as the wind blew past their ears. Swinging through the city of Mumbattan was always their favorite thing to do, especially after not being here in a week. Their appearance was sure to stir up some talk amongst the locals, but at this point, they didn’t really care. They had more important places to be.

With a final web shooting from their wrist, they landed on a light fixture, directly in front of their boyfriend’s window. With a slightly upbeat rhythm on the glass, the window opened, revealing the beautiful smile of Pavitr. 

“You’re here early.” He said with a grin, welcoming them into his bedroom.

They pouted jokingly, “Am I not allowed to be early to see my favorite person?” 

“Of course not, mera pyaar.” He laughed. “Only teasing.” He stared at them for a moment before turning back to his desk. “Hold on, just one minute. I have to finish this essay. I was supposed to be done by now.”

They hummed, walking closer and propping their head up with their fist, “What’s it about?”

He groaned, “We were tasked to choose a country from the Middle-East and write about its customs and culture. I chose Poland.”

Their eyes lit up, “And you didn’t ask me for help, what the hell, dude!” They exclaimed, playfully hitting his shoulder.

Pavitr frowned, “What do you mean?”

“My family is from Poland, dingus.” His mouth formed an ‘o’ shape as he took in this information. “I can help you, if you want!” They thought for a second before grinning widely, “We can turn it into a game, and we can both learn each other’s culture while doing so!” 

Pavitr thought about it before nodding excitedly, “Yeah! That sounds so much fun.”

Within minutes, paper and pens were scattered on the floor and Pavitr and his partner sat across from one another. The game that had been settled on was, quite lamely, just 20 questions (In all honesty, neither of them could think of another game to incorporate facts about their culture).

The pair were both excited. “Can I go first?” Pavitr asked, holding up a piece of paper where he wrote down a bunch of questions for his partner. They nodded, smiling widely. “Alright. What are the national dishes of the Slavic culture?”

They shook their head slightly, indicating the question was half-right. “Well, Polish foods can include pierogi, which are kind-of like dumplings where dough is wrapped around a savory or sweet filling before being boiled, and zurek, which is a rye soup containing smoked meats, typically sausages.” I grinned, “But, for Slavic culture as a whole, there’s sarma, which is a cabbage roll stuffed with meats like veal or ground pork.” Their eyes lit up again, “Also, there’s zhurek! Zhurek is a kind of soup, I guess? It’s made of oats and dark bread. It sits for three days before its boiled with meat and vegetables. My Mama makes it when it's cold outside!” 

Pavitr nodded, practically clinging to each word they said. “So Slavic isn’t just Poland?”

“O Boże, no. There’s Slovenia, Belarus, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Serbia, Slovakia, Finland, and others!” They chuckled. “Each is considered Slavic, but they also have their own subculture within them.” They leaned forward, supporting their weight by their palms hitting the ground. “Now, my turn!” They paused, thinking of a good question. “Okay, I’m just going to steal your question.”

He pouted, “What, no! Make up your own.”

“Ugh, fine…” A moment later, they thought of it. “What kind of traditional outfits are there?”

His pout left, leaving behind a faint smile. “Oh, well, there’s a lot. There’s Sherwanis, or kurta pajamas, or even Achkan; as well as Sari, Angarkha, and Phiran.” They nodded along, planning to look up what they look like later in the evening. “Okay, do you have any traditional instruments?”

“Well, there’s the lira korbowa, which is more commonly known as the Hurdy-Gurdy nowadays.” They said, thinking about the topics their babcia taught them. While other places may not celebrate their heritage and culture very much, it was very important in their family. “My favorite is the kozioł biały! It’s like a bagpipe.” 

The night went on, questions were asked on both sides. Eventually, it passed the original 20 questions they had settled on. They were both interested in learning about the other’s culture. It was interesting and the eagerness they both had was endearing. Eventually, the sun was dropping below the horizon, and it was about time for Y/N to return to their own dimension.

“It was fun doing this, priya.” Pavitr said as the goodbyes started. “Your culture is so amazing, I didn’t expect this out of today.”

They nodded in agreement, “I think so too! I never expected your culture to be so beautiful.” They smiled dreamily. “I hope we can do this again. It was so… refreshing.” They leaned over and hugged their boyfriend for a moment. “I’ll see you soon, kochanie.”

“I’ll miss you-” He said, in a sing-song voice. They laughed, shoving him away playfully.

“It’ll be like a few days, stop that! If you wanted to come sooner, you could always just come visit me first.” They grinned before slipping their mask on and preparing to jump out the window. “Do widzenia!”

Translations, as provided by both the requester and by Google Translate!

Mera pyaar = my love

kozioł biały = white goat (instrument)

Priya = dear (aff.)

Kochanie = honey (aff.)

Do widzenia = goodbye/bye/any form of bye

🥟 Happy National Pierogi Day! 🥟

[cricketcat9]

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.
