After the cold starter it's time for a hot one: '''''pierogi ze szpinakiem i fetą''''', or dumplings with spinach and, um… celebration?
''Pierogi'', the delicious Polish filled and boiled dumplings, often go hand in hand with celebration, that's true. A platter of ''pierogi'' is a must on a Polish Christmas Eve table. In fact, the very word ''"pierogi"'' comes from ''"*pirŭ"'', the Proto-Slavic term for a feast. ''Pierogi'' are a celebratory food ''par excellence''.
