Today
you've got the last chance to take part in XI
Festiwal Pierogów
(meaning '11th Pierogi Festival' in Polish), which is taking place in
Mały Rynek in Kraków. You can try there all types of pierogi (i.e.
traditional Polish dumplings) with both traditional and more unusual
fillings, such as red pierogi with purple cabbage, pierogi with duck
and cranberries, and many more. One pieróg costs around PLN 1.5 -
2.0.
I've
decided to try chocolate pierogi with strawberries from Magillo but
they turned out to be quite bland. Pierogi with nuts and raisins
from Resto Prego, on the other hand, were absolutely
delicious. I liked them so much I decided to buy more pierogi from
this stand - with meat filling, cabbage and mushrooms, and with
raspberries - and all of them were equally tasty. :)
And do
you know who's the patron saint of pierogi? It's Saint Hyacinth of
Poland ('święty Jacek' in Polish). You can see him in the last
photo. :)
