Damn that was tasty...

Perogies are a typical Ukrainian or Russian sort of a dumpling that is usually served as an accompaniment with the meat....
They are pieces of dough filled with mashed potaoes (or a blend of potatoes and other things). They are then boiled and sometimes pan fried and served with onions, bacon and sour cream. Yummy.

If you are interested in trying them they are usually available in the freezer department at the grocery store. (although I don't know about where you live)
If you have a Russian or eastern European restaurant where you live they more than likely will have them on the menu as well as cabbage rolls, borscht, sausage.....etc.

Bologna is nothing like a dry sausage, it's more along the lines of Mortadella.

For your info, Mortadella originated in Bologna.

There is also a product very much like it in GB I believe it's called Polony.

Polony!!!! I haven't seen anything called that for years! Polony sausages are still around but they are just called something else. Not something I would recommend - baby food for grown ups.

No. Proper bangers for me, chaps!

I dream about bangers and mash and lashings of gravy.

(Hell, I wish I wasn't allergic to potatoes

Sob!)

Spicy chick pea souffle is the specialité de la maison here in the wolf-den. Mmmmmm. (loads of coriander and cumin)

Followed by suet pudding - the emperor of puddings - especially wonderful on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

Or... or... or... (now you've really got me going, Doc.) something truly wonderful (and I don't share this with everyone) - squares of ginger sponge covered in melted orange marmalade. Ohhhhhhhhhh! That's the only passion I have retained from my school days (and the only passion worth retaining.)

I have a recipe for Carrot Pudding. It's a recipe of my grandma's, who grew up in the Wigan & Ince area...

Took forever to cook, (unless you used a pressure cooker,) and of course one of the ingredients is suet... Served with a white sauce, (rum or brandy based for sure...)

Mmmmmmm

Yeah, we got an old recipe for plum pudding floating around the family. It uses suet also. We make it on Thanksgiving, age it for a month, and eat it at Christmas. If the suet wasn't enough, it's consumed with hard sauce (essentially sweetened, flavored butter....)

...... was blues2cruise trying to imply something there...????

Wow, Ry, we're on the same level, except instead of peas, I like Green beens. But the trick is to use cream of chicken soup for the gravy....

Mmmmmmmm, I'm going to the store....
