Pirogi is an ancient Slavic dish that has long been part of the country’s culture. Pirogi are often mentioned in fairy tales, chronicles and other sources.
An important factor in the hospitality of hosts according to Slavic customs is a set table. If on the table in front of the guest there are hot fragrant pies – this is the peak of respect for the person.
Now pies are prepared independently quite rarely. More often people use other snacks for tea parties. However, it is still worthwhile to prepare puffy pies at home.
