A Hidden Story Behind the National Perogie Day

Each year on October 8th it is a special day for Grandma`s Food Family. Today we are celebrating the joy and deliciousness of National Pierogi Day! A unique holiday that is not yet a legally recognized national holiday but exists in all sorts of calendars. Pierogi is an Eastern European region’s food according to its origin. But researchers still haven’t found the roots to the history behind this day. There is very little information about when exactly it came into being, who proposed it, and why October 8th was chosen of all the days in a year. We will find a clear history behind it as soon as the researchers find some evidence. What we know for sure is that perogies deserve their little holiday, the perfect day for you to enjoy it!

October the 8^th may not strike you as a momentous day in world history. However, here at Grandma’s perogies, it is a day that is very close to our hearts. Today is National Perogie Day. This date is a reminder to us of why we do what we do: for the love of perogies!

It may be strange to think of them as dumplings, but that’s what ravioli, Saccottini and tortellini are. These Italian dumplings are the culinary sister of Russian pelmeni and Polish perogies. They are delicious and versatile staples in the Italian Mediterranean diet.

A Traditional Food for the World

Here at Grandma’s Perogies, we don’t claim to be making anything avant-garde. Instead, we are using the tried and tested recipes of our ancestors. In doing so, we’ve come to realize that the basic formula for perogies has been used for centuries in many corners of the world.
