== Dumplings with Spinach and Celebration ==
[[File:Pierogi ze spinaczem.jpg|thumb|left|upright=.6|A tray of frozen "potato-and-paper-clip ''pierogi''"]]
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 stuffed and boiled dumplings, often go hand in hand with celebration, that's true. One kind, sauerkraut-and-mushroom ''pierogi'', is traditionally served at the Christmas Eve dinner. 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 filling for our ''pierogi'' is spinach mixed not with fête (or "''feta''" in Polish), but with feta, the Greek brined cheese. Add some garlic and you're going to have a truly delightful combination. While not as classic as potato-and-cheese, ground-meat or mushroom-and-kraut varieties, spinach-filled ''pierogi'' are nonetheless both tasty and popular.
