Where do pierogi on Polish tables come from?

Pierogi were on Polish tables as early as the 13th century. The name “pierogi” probably comes from the Old Slavic word “pir”, which means party, feast or merry gathering. From this we can deduce that pierogi were the most popular dish for a feast. Did you know that pierogi came to us from China? Legend has it that they arrived in Poland thanks to Bishop Jacek Odrowąż, who became enthralled with them in Kiev. At first pierogi in Poland were served on special occasions, today you can enjoy them whenever you want at Pierogarnia Stary Młyn!
