I tried the pan-seared pierogi on my last United Airlines flight and found it one of the most indulgent airline meals I’ve ever had.
Confession. I had no idea what pierogi was…I had to Google it. Apparently, pierogi are traditional Eastern European filled dumplings, popular in Poland, made from unleavened dough wrapped around various savory or sweet fillings, then boiled and often pan-fried, as in this case. Common fillings include potato and cheese, sauerkraut, ground meat, mushrooms, or fruits like berries, with variations in dough and preparation across regions.
Here, the dumplings were filled with caramelized onion cream sauce, bacon lardons (essentially bacon fat…), and scallions. While it sounded dreadfully unhealthy, I had to try it…something new and different.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
