This cookbook is intended for younger cooks and for those completely unfamiliar with Polish cookery. It seems a good choice for those uncertain about getting into this cuisine.

Context Context of Easy menu ethnic cookbooks Members. Oh, we're not Polish either. I guess it's just something our families picked up from living in the area. I grew up eating Haluski I'm actually making it tonight for dinner!
It's not just a pittsburgh thing: It is a polish dish and I know many many people who make it and they live all over. I do live in Pittsburgh and I know perogies are something that is associated with Pittsburgh. My grandmother makes haluski and all my aunts make it, heck everyone makes it and we dont have polish in our family either. I think the dish is popular if the culture influence is there. I'm full blooded Italian but I have to say that East Euro food is one of my favorites.
In my city we're known for Pierogies and Cabbage and Noodles, even have it at Fairs.
I add this dish to my New Year's Day menu. Have a Happy New Year!
I follow you in all the sites!!!! Hey Cleveland almost sounds like Pittsburgh with the Polish food. Pierogies are definitely are a big deal ever been to a Pirates home game? We have pierogie mascot races!! Happy New Year and thanks for following: I am of Lithuanian descent and grew up in an industrial Connecticut town. My mother always said that pork had to be served on New Year's Day to ensure a healthy and prosperous new year.
Do you know where it stems from? I ask because I love ritual and tradition. We eat pork on New Year's as well but not sure where it stems from. Thank you for responding, Carla. It is a comfort to know others will be enjoying the tradition of pork this coming New Year's Day, and we'll raise a glass to you and your family! Hi Anne, I, too, am of Lithuanian descent!!! My relatives always ate pork on NY day!! Our family hailed from Dubois, PA. I am making this today for first time..
I found them in one of those natural markets but I heard walmart or some grocery stores carry them. I think calling it haluski is the problem. I can never keep the Polish words straight. It's all a blur.
Everyone loves cabbage and noodles! Now I need to give this a try! We love carbs, and we love cabbage - it has to be a winner: Thank so much for this! My grandparents lived in PA for most of their lives and she always makes this! This is awesome, whipping up a batch right now! Friday Fish Frys in Pgh are the best.
Travelled from WV because its Lent!.. No one down here has ever heard of such a thing. Thanks for the reciepe. Yes fish frys are back in season! I also wonder if that's a Pittsburgh thing because where I moved to, they don't have fish frys here. They do celebrate Lent, just no fish frys. We had this for Sunday lunch.
This was very good and I know I'll enjoy the leftovers for a lunch or two during the week.
Likewise, settlers learned the cooking methods of those who came before and local tribes as well: Crustaceans included shrimp , lobster , crayfish , and dungeness crabs in the Northwest and blue crabs in the East.

I'm from south central PA and I definitely know what Haluski is! And a truly good haluski needs to be made with homemade noodles. There is a town right across the river from my hometown 30 miles NE of Pittsburgh. Every year this tiny place has a festival called Ethnic Days where they serve all Eastern European dishes. Haluski and pierogies are always there. I think fish frys started maybe in Wisconsin.
I think VFW ones are best. I do think Western Pa. I've never had Haluski but it looks like a great Meatless Monday dish. Pinning this one too! I made haluski a couple of times in the last 6 months for the kids at the pre-k center where I work. Something magical happened the last time I made it! I fell totally and completely in love with haluski, which I call Polish soul food! I think it is so good and such a down to earth, country, peasant food kind of dish.
I too am from the Pittsburgh area Washington, PA. As many people have stated, it's very popular in this area and always on the menu at church functions, wedding receptions and during Lent. If you haven't tried it, what on earth are you waiting for??? I love cabbage, and usually when I buy a head, I know it's going to be enough for recipes. And sure enough, one of those meals is definitely haluski.
I am a Pittsburgh girl gone South.
So my recipe is the same as yours, only after cooking mine in the frying pan, I bake it in a blue speckled roasting pan for 30 40 minutes. To me, that gives it the "Friday Church Fish Fry taste"! My family devours it- even the Californian daughter -in- law who's never heard of any of my "Pittsburgh" dishes. But she sure liked the "Cookie Table" at her wedding- at my insistence! Too bad I didn't have a taste for it when I was young.
Thanks to people such as yourself, keeping it alive, I can get my fill now! I grew up on the Hungarian version of this dish.
Seeing this brings back very fond memories. I grew up near Pittsburgh and this was always on our table. Still a favorite I am making tonight and definitely a staple during Lent!! Oh absolutely during Lent! When I lived mid state for 4 years, nobody did the fish fries like Pittsburgh does. Now that I'm back, I can't wait to start going to them again.
I tried your Huluski tonight for dinner; it was so good that it wasn't around long enough to take a picture. Thanks for the recipe!
Always a good sign ; Glad you had a great dinner! I just made this for the first time and it was exactly how I remembered it when my aunt had me try it at an autumn festival in Bedford, PA. She said it was a common dish in PA and that's all I needed to know to love it! She lives in Altoona and my grandparents lived in Rimersburg. I've spent a lot of time learning food dishes from that area to carry on family traditions. It keeps my grandparents close to my heart! Oh I know all of those places you just listed! Glad this dish was able to bring back some fun memories: I know all those places too.
I grew up in Johnstown and now live just outside Pittsburgh. My family is Ukrainian. I grew up on haluski, peroghi, halupki, vereniky etc. I just made this dish for the first time myself and its been probably 8 years since I've had my family's.
This is exactly how I remember it. Thanks for the nostalgia. I have eaten cabbage and noodles since my kids were young. A babysitter taught us how to make it. I never knew what it was called until now. It's just always been cabbage and noodles to us! A life saver for a single Mom of 3! Cheap meal, kids love it, what could be better? Oh I absolutely agree! When I buy a head of cabbage, I can easily get several meals out of it granted I'm only one person , and cabbage is cheap to begin with.
When I don't know what to make for the week, I usually end up with cabbage and making haluski. Haluski is a Slovak dish in my family. Haluski is a potato dumpling. My Great Grandparents came here early 's and Grandma Novak made it with the dumplings, sauerkraut and fried chopped bacon and onions.
