    And speakers of quite a few of the other Slavic languages as well. Or they might be talking about a composer, seeing as the Czechs do insist on naming people after foodstuffs.

    You can get Pierogi in the local Tesco here. So I bought some... and wasn't very impressed. Then my Mum found a Polish deli in Huntingdon (IIRC) that did the 'proper' stuff. They tasted the same as the ones from Tesco. But then, the Tesco ones are a Polish brand so I'm not sure what she was expecting to be that different.

        I assume that's the case with other Slavic languages too. Boris Pasternak is Boris Parsnip in English.

        Smetana is Smāntāna in Romanian, which despite being a proudly romance language borrows a lot from its Slavic neighbours.

          I'm going to get a coffee. Maybe an iced one.

            Well, yes, a recipe with caramelized onions, bacon and sour cream will work. The pierogi seem the least essential and easily replacable ingredient there...
