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 truefair enough. 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''.
But the spinach in our ''pierogi'' wasn't mixed with ''feta'', the Polish equivalent of a ''fête'', but with feta, the Greek brined cheese. While not as classic as potato-and-cheese, ground-meat or mushroom-and-kraut varieties, spinach combined with feta cheese and some garlic makes another tasty and popular ''pierogi'' filling.
