Polish food has a reputation for being heavy. Polish immigrants brought their cuisine to America and other parts of Europe, which has influenced regional cuisine. Food staples in Poland include potatoes, cabbage and pork, which appear in many Polish dishes.he Polish prepare a special dumpling called pierogi, which can be savory or sweet. Most people prefer the traditional pierogi, which is filled with mashed potatoes, onions and cheese. Cooks make the dumpling pastry from flour, eggs, water and salt.
Polish pierogi are often filled with fresh curd cheese, boiled and minced potatoes, and fried onions. This type is called in Polish pierogi ruskie, which literally means Ruthenian pierogi (not Russian). Ruskie pierogi are probably the most popular kind of pierogi in North America.
