Remember the old television show Green Acres? Arguably the biggest star on the show was Arnold the pig. He could write his name, change channels on television, play piano and even predict the weather. Despite all of those talents, if he came to the Caribbean he might still find himself facing the butcher. We love pig – ham, chops, ribs, bacon, sausages. From snout to trotter we eat it all. Click here to read the rest of the column.
This week week I also made Pirojki/Pirogi. I first had a Pirogi while on a trip to the mid-west of the USA a few years ago. I have a very good friend that loves these so when I saw Farida of Azerbaijani Cookbook post the recipe complete with a step by step demo, I quickly bookmarked the page and set about making Pirogi. It tasted just as I remembered the first time I had one and what I like about Farida's version is that they were baked instead of fried. You've got to try making these, it's really easy and absolutely delicious. Click here for the recipe and to see how to make them.
Over at Forgive Me My Nonsense... this week, say goodbye to Randy Pausch.

Now that looks great!

You mean Piroshky? There is a store here in Seattle - Piroshky! Piroshky! We love "pig"ing out there.
I love the lustrous sheen on yours.
okay so if you like all parts of the pig, including the snout, you must see the pic of me holding a snout in a Trini market--nasty stuff girl. how ironic. I mention you in that post...
your pirojkis and roast pork look really good!!hmmmm...it's alittle similiar with crackling pork but your is leaner.Do you have roast pork recipe to share?:P..btw i love your photo:)
Ooooooooooh, that looks incredibly good. The roast looks like the Haitian griot!
A delicious and drool worthy post, Cynthia!
I never had pirojkis. They look delicious and awesome. :-)
Look at that! Beautiful colour..and the slices are so even.
The bread looks soo good with the right amount of filling too.
Pork? Pierogis? A big 'yes' to both, please! Those baked peirogis sound particularly interesting - so thanks for the recipe...
these look delicious! lovely pics, as usual, and I am drooling at them... I have an award for you at my blog.
Looks so good...most of the dishes on ur blog are unheard of for me
wow!really...wow!drooling!
I heart this post! perogis and pork -perfect!
I'm seeing them for the first time !
Had something similar, but i guess that this name is a bit fancier :)
Pork is not an option for me, so i think chicken or beef would be wonderful.
Cynthia,
I am soooo happy you made my Pirogi!
I am honored and flattered too:)
THANK YOU! Your pirojki turned out perfect, as I can see from the picture. They are so shiny on top:) You did a wonderful job. And my my, other pics look mouthwatering. I am getting hungry:)
Yummm!
There is nothing like a beautiful ham. And the pirojki look amazing!
Hi cynthia! Thanks for the sweet words you left on my blog. Cold pork sandwiches with mustard is how I like my pig :)
OMG! That crackling looks TOO good.
I'm am definitely a pork fan. And this has my mouth watering!
those pirogi's sure do look very tempting, Cynthia!
Arnold never looked so good Cynthia!
I have only had Pirogi's one time in my life, when a friend made them for me around 12 years ago. The dough looks a bit different, but the recipe version you are sharing here looks wonderful!
Cynthia, You can make me some Arnold anytime! Serious yummmm, to all of this! I'm very interested in how you make your carribean ham.
Nice article!
looks like my kind of arnold! :) yum
I think I might love Arnold too if I got the chance! And what a lovely blog you have. So much content!
So yea, I'm loving the fact that yo love a pig as much as I do. I don't remember Green Acres, but I love me some pork.
I just read your column and it is 6 AM here, and I want pork! Roast pork for breakfast. Yea!
Hey Cynthia - you sure do have a great memory for all of Arnold's talents! I bet you can sing the entire theme song too!
Very neat! The pierogi in Detroit are quite different--more of dumpling. In northern Michigan (U.P.), pasties (pah-stees) are somewhat similar what you made (but your pirojki looks tastier)
Looks delicious, Cynthia!
yummmy.....u make me feel hungry ....cynthia
The pirogi is interesting and beautifully baked Cynthia. Viji
Hi Cynth... after long time :-) the dinner looks yummy....
I have something for you in my blog.. do check out!!
Ooh! Ooh! Real pierogies! I have got to try these! I've only ever tasted the ones you get in the freezer section at the grocer's. :(
I didn't know pirogi were well known outside Eastern Europe. They are widely eaten in my neighbor country Finland too... stuffed with with wild mushrooms. rice, mashed potaoes ... Well, anything goes..
Haha, I can't believe you mention Arnorld and then talk about pork! LOL!
hi cynthia...i've tagged you for something interesting....do drop by sometime.....cheers!!
Wow....this looks beautiful! Its made me hungry :(
this is exactly the dinner im craving for!!! glorious!!!
cynthia,
jus'check out my blog award is waiting for u dear....
I live in the mid-west, and pierogis do seem to really popular. I've only had pieriogis that were frozen from a box. :(
I'll have to try this recipe.
I remember Arnold!!! That was a funny show. Your food looks fantastic, and I'm jealous of your pierogis. ;) I want some now!
Some Californias must be loving you! I thought it was Arnold as in he who acted in Terminator series and the governor of California. Then I read on and found out it was a pig! :O
That ham looks good and is making me hungry!!
I have every intention of making some potato Pirojki tomorrow - even though the only oven I have is tiny, I will make batches! Thanks for the suggestion!!
Did someone say oink? I'll take Park Avenue as Ms. Gabor stated. But I won't say no to a lovely chop, strip or loin.
We love pork too. Roast suckling pig is the big treat.
I love your description of curry pork. I'm going to try to make it with a piece of Cantonese roast pork - you know, the roast pig that hangs in the store window. FYI, I just cooked a Spanish dish - pork belly in almond milk.
