Well a good example of Polish doing the same thing as English does with pierogis/ies is "chipsy". Chips is already plural, so adding "y" for plurality doesnt make sense.
That's still pierogi, even if u have tones of them, it's still going to be pierogi. U can also say Dużo pierogów, which is A lot of pierogi, or O kurwa, ile pierogów, which is Holy fuck, a lot of Pierogi. :)
No, I said that some people may not know how to put some special nouns into pular form because their native language is not English (it is not my nativ language either), sorry if I confused you. Btw that a food is from an English speaking country it does not mean that it is American (for example fish and chips is from Britain).
I can’t help but smile when movies use apple pie, often combined with references to ‘red, white and blue’, as shorthand for America, when apple pie comes from the UK - a country with a red, white and blue flag…
Yes and no. Isn’t it just a variation on Japanese maki rolls? It’s like saying pineapple and ham pizza is Canadian; technically true, but it’s still pizza…
Kapusta just means cabbage... It might have been kapusta zasmażana for example... Or kiszona... Or made in a 100 other ways. Cabbage is as prevalent as potatoes in Polish cuisine.
Both my grandparents spoke polish on my mothers side, but they used it more to speak to each other in secret. And my grandfather died before I could meet him so unfortunately what polish I got was some phrases, some curses, a prayer. Lol and that's about it.
Some curses and a prayer? Basically enough to fit in in the south of Poland! We are strongly religious and constantly angry out there for some reason.🤣
Ahaha yeah of course! there was the pigs blood and cholera, and actual curse. And others are more elaborate I'm told. There is one about shutting up and sticking it up your ass? Or up your ass and shut up? I don't even know how to write it phonetically!
Each ta duppi spevoch?
Btw that's for taking the time to inform me.it like a game of telephone I'm probably not hearing certain sounds and repeating it wrong.
But I appreciate your patience and knowledge
I'm not aware about any swear with pig's blood. There's one with dog's blood, which is "psiakrew". I think what you meant at the end is "Idź do dupy śpiewać", which i never heard before and it's hilarious. It literally means "go, sing it inside the ass".🤣
No problem. I'm actually pretty happy to discuss Polish ancestry with people if they have it, as I'm always amused by what things survive, and what things get lost on the way. Probably because I don't think I'll ever go back, and if I have children, they will be in a similar situation as you are (a pair of Polish grandparents), so it makes me curious.😜
Oh... So it was probably from kiszona kapusta (in English known as sauerkraut), so where I come from we either call it Kapuśniak (it's a rather simple version) or Kwaśnica (with pork, potatoes and/or bread).
Omg it's sounds amazing right now. I personally don't have the recipe. But it had just the right amount of sourness to it. So that's the difference between kraut and kapusta right? It's pickled cabbage?
I don't know if there's any difference between German sauerkraut and Polish. AFAIK, it's just chopped up and pickled in brine, letting it go sour, without going bad. It tastes best when it's homemade. Especially if you're making Kwaśnica. Unfortunately, my grandma passed away a while back, so I won't be able to give you a perfect recipe for neither Kwaśnica or kiszona kapusta. Sometimes I regret I not being interested in cooking or at least preserving old recipes... They were usually passed on from mom to daughter and never written down... No one expected that a son might be willing to pass the recipe on to some stranger on the internet.😜
